If you are looking for local place for lunch, there are more options than ever before. This website helps you to find restaurants that serve great lunches in your own local area, or if you're traveling or on vacation, in another area. HotSpotsForLunch brings the restaurant review from dinner to lunch! After all, for every 1 dinner meal you eat out, you probably eat 4 or 5 in a restaurant for lunch! Unlike all the other restaurant review websites, we focus on lunch meals, helping you to find just what you want, whether your looking for new places to eat lunch near your office, or when you are visiting a different city.
Our listings come from a variety of sources: state agencies, consumers writing in to recommend, and the restaurant's themselves. We update and add listings every day. Since this website just went live , we're adding listings at a ferocious pace! It should take a few months to get up to a fairly complete set of listings. Of course, we're looking for more restaurants to add, so we welcome your recommendations! ! Customers can recommend a farm here and farmers can add (or update/correct) their own farm's listing by clicking here!
How to find a local restaurant
It's quite simple! Start by clicking the "Start here" button (at the top of every page or on the left menu). You then select your local area (country, state/province) and then region/county or local metropolitan area. Just scroll down the page that appears, to see restaurant listed by county.
Items of special interest are highlighted in colors to make them stand out.
The search engine (see the button at the top of each page) can be helpful, too. You can search our database many ways, but for most people, it is as simple as selecting your city and neighborhood (area of the city) from our form.

A word about banner advertisements
With very few exceptions, the banner ads are supplied by an outside company (their name appears in the banner "Ads by ..." I have NO advance control over what appears in these ads. It is completely controlled by the outside company. If you see an inappropriate or offensive ad - don't get mad at me; just email me and be sure to give me the name of the advertiser in the ad and their url. Then I can go back to the outside ad company and have them banned!
