LocalEats - Restaurant Discovery

Discover local restaurants with reviews, menus, and reservation booking

Next.jsTypeScriptSupabaseMapboxTailwind CSS

LocalEats connects food lovers with local restaurants. Users can browse menus, read reviews, and book reservations.


Key Features:

  • Restaurant search by cuisine and location
  • Menu previews and dietary filters
  • User reviews and ratings
  • Reservation booking system
  • Map integration for directions

  • Use Cases:

  • Tourist in a new city: searches "Italian near me," filters by rating and price, books a table for tonight.
  • Foodie planning a date: finds romantic spots with outdoor seating, checks menus for dietary options.
  • Local exploring neighborhood spots: discovers new restaurants, reads reviews from other locals, reserves for weekend brunch.

  • Usage Example:

    Maria is visiting Austin for the first time. She opens LocalEats, searches "BBQ" and filters by "4+ stars" and "takes reservations." She finds Franklin Barbecue (wait list) and a highly-rated spot with same-day booking. She reserves for 7 PM, adds it to her trip, and gets a reminder. At the restaurant, she checks in and leaves a review with photos. Next trip, she'll search her saved list. LocalEats replaced her old routine of Googling, calling, and hoping for a table.


    Technical Stack:
