Frequently asked questions

What is dEATour?

A road-trip app for iPhone and Android that shows great independent restaurants along your route — 24,000+ of them — and how many minutes each stop adds to your drive.

What does the detour time mean?

It is the extra time a stop adds: your trip with the stop, minus your trip without it. Getting off the highway, eating nearby and getting back on are all included.

How are restaurants chosen?

They are handpicked, with a focus on independent places locals love — including many featured on TV food shows.

Are the hours right?

We work hard to keep them current and only show places that should be open when you get there. Hours change, especially on holidays, so please call ahead.

How long a trip can I plan?

dEATour works best for destinations within about 300 miles and handles trips up to 500. On a longer drive, enter a city you will pass through.

Does it track me?

dEATour uses your location to find restaurants on your route. We do not sell your data or share it with advertisers. See our privacy policy for details.

I own a restaurant. How do I update my listing?

Email hello@deatour.net with your restaurant's name and address and what has changed.
