About Us

Menu48 helps you discover and support the locally owned restaurants, bakeries, creameries, food trucks, beverage makers, and other independent spots that give each community its character. We curate only locally operated eateries and drink venues—no national chains, no regional chains, and no unrelated businesses—so your choices stay focused on genuine local food and drink.

When we say local, we mean it. Every listing on Menu48 is a menu item from either a truly independent, stand-alone venue or a small local chain. We work directly with owners to confirm that they’re locally owned and operated, ensuring you can confidently support businesses rooted in their communities. By bringing these authentic spots together, we offer an alternative to broad national directories and give you a richer, more meaningful sense of place.

Finding what you want is simple: each state has its own consolidated menu, so you don’t have to sift through dozens of separate pages. Our search bar supports “all words, any order” queries—type ingredients in any sequence, search by restaurant name to view a full menu, or enter a town to browse local options. You can also search for dietary preferences like Gluten Free, Vegan, Dairy Free, Vegetarian, and more, making it easy to find what fits your lifestyle.

Listings include tap-to-call phone numbers, links to each restaurant’s website, and a button for driving directions—complete with current mapping for food trucks and mobile vendors that move from place to place. By keeping menus and prices current and providing clear navigation tools, Menu48 lets you connect with local flavors quickly and confidently.
