Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: BuffetFindr at none against diner's shown. BuffetFindr also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). diner's advantage is ratings volume (626 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

BuffetFindr holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.

Written reviews point the same way: 85% of diner's written reviews are positive against 100% of BuffetFindr's.
