How FeastPick works
Set the filters you care about, tap Pick for me, and we'll choose a random spot that matches. Not feeling it? Reroll for another option, or veto it so it never comes back this session. Deciding with friends? Start a group pick and everyone can vote from their own phone, no sign-up needed.
Restaurant listings come from OpenStreetMap, a community-maintained map. Opening hours are listed for about 39% of Chicago places, so "open now" only applies where hours are known. Always double-check before heading out. Last updated October 11, 2026.
