lifehacker - Citysearch's new food search site, 3 Buck Bites, has reach but sometimes confusing navigation. Cheap Ass Food is NYC-heavy, but really helpful. Between the two, it's easy to find decent food at really low prices.
3 Buck Bites uses the reach and scale of Citysearch's vast network of local food reviews to find cheap dishes across the U.S., and offers some pretty nice food porn shots as well. The problem is, Citysearch works you for your pageviews while you're there, making you click through to a Citysearch review page to get the address, but then head back to 3 Buck Bites for the prices and specific reviews. Most of the detailed review is stripped down the right side, too—not a spot everyone looks for, and not mobile-friendly, to say the least.
Cheap Ass Food does what it sounds like, but tends to have sparse pickings outside the New York City metro area. Still, it does come up with a few winners in certain spots, and offers great Google Maps pinning and straight-up address/phone/price information for its picks.
