Urbanspoon displays reviews from a number of sources, not just other users.

There are plenty of gimmicky free apps in the App Store, but Urbanspoon’s gimmick actually comes in quite handy when you just don’t know what you feel like eating. Using the iPhone 3G’s GPS unit, it first locates you, then it brings up the Shake view, which lets you tap Shake or shake the phone to select a nearby restaurant randomly, using a slot machine-style view and sound effects. We had great luck pulling up appealing choices in our home neighborhood—but, of course, we’re lucky to live where the restaurants are plentiful and tasty, so as soon as you hit an area where the grub ain’t so good, you’ll know it with Urbanspoon.
