The new app lets food lovers find great restaurants through reviews from the tastemakers they already trust — not anonymous strangers.
July 22, 2026 — Social Foodie, a new restaurant discovery app for iOS and Android, is available today worldwide. Built for the generation that discovers food through creators, Social Foodie lets users follow the tastemakers — real food creators from across all social media platforms — whose palates they already trust, and get straight to their next great meal.
The premise is simple: the best restaurant tip you'll ever get isn't from a stranger on a review site. It's from someone whose taste you know, whose videos you watch, and whose recommendations you've already acted on. Social Foodie builds an entire discovery experience around that idea.
“The way people discover food has completely changed,” said Damon Collins, Founder of 712 West LLC, the company behind Social Foodie. “Millions of people watch food content every day — but there's been no great place to turn all of that into something actually useful when you're standing on a street corner trying to decide where to eat. That's what we built.”
Tastemakers, Not Strangers
At the heart of Social Foodie is a curated network of tastemakers: food creators with real points of view and audiences who trust them. Users browse creator profiles, Fave the ones whose taste matches theirs, and get a personalized Hot feed of the latest picks, rising voices, and cuisine spotlights. No anonymous star ratings. No fake reviews. Just recommendations from people with skin in the game.
A Rating System Built for Real Foodies
Social Foodie replaces the five-star scale with six named tiers that reflect how people actually talk about food: NOPE, MEH, MID, SNACK, BANGER, and ELITE. Users can search by minimum rating — so if you're only interested in BANGERs and above, you'll never see a MID. Every restaurant page surfaces not just the rating, but the specific dishes creators raved about, so users can order like a regular on their very first visit.
From Feed to Front Door
The app's map view puts discovery in context — a warm, custom-styled map with rating-scored pins, hot zones, and a carousel of nearby spots. One tap to call, get directions, or check the menu. Browsing works without an account; signing in unlocks following, saves, reactions, and personalized notifications.
Users can also react to any creator's take — Same vibe 🔥, Disagree 😐, or Going next 👀 — without writing a word, keeping the experience social without turning every diner into a critic.
Availability
Social Foodie is available today on the App Store and Google Play, free to download, worldwide.
