Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Does anyone know about John Mcdonald? The terror of the 5 points McDonald's?

I ran into him a bit ago, it was wild, he was so annoying I hated it. He announced his name loudly to everyone, terrorized the staff for a good 20-30 minutes over a ice cream for his dog and started preaching life lessons to us all. Man I just wanted a caramel frappe.

Looking for Halloween one-shot RPG players

Hello, everyone, for October, I like to run a Dread oneshot and am looking for interested players. It is a very simple but effective rpg which replaces dice rolls with pulls from a jenga tower to naturally build anticipation and suspense. If you are interested and would be available either the weekends of the 16th-18th or 23rd-25th, let me know. We would play at Down To Game during their business hours.

Flew in from Oregon for Tomorrow’s Game — First Time Here, Any Tips or Recs?

Hey everyone! I flew in from Oregon for tomorrow’s game and will be attending solo. Looking for any tips or recommendations to make the most of the game day experience!

I’d love to experience the tailgating scene and meet some fellow fans. If anyone is tailgating and wouldn’t mind an extra person joining, or is down to grab a drink or hang out before the game, I’d definitely be interested!

Also, any recommendations on where to park, the best spots to check out before kickoff, or anything else a first-timer should know would be greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to the game and experiencing the atmosphere! Thanks in advance!

Visiting Tuscaloosa

Hello, me and my family will be visiting Tuscaloosa in the middle of December. Our plans are not settled quite yet, but we will have my brother-in-law and two sisters probably staying in Birmingham while we will be in Tuscaloosa. I have two questions.

First question is recommendations for a good place to stay in Tuscaloosa for one night. Second question is recommendations for good dinner in Tuscaloosa and also possibly a good place between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham for dinner so that we could meet halfway.

Thank you for any feedback

U of Alabama best on campus dining spot with food allergies

Point me somewhere else if this isn't the best place.

We are visiting the University in a few weeks. My kid will have a full ride there (national merit) so we want to check it out. He has food allergies (gluten and dairy) and navigating on campus food will be tricky for him. We have various tours scheduled all day but will have a 1.5 hour window for lunch and it would be good for him to see what the allergen friendly food options are there. Which dining hall should we try for this? Thanks y'all :)
