How many places to eat are there in St. George?
St. George sits in Washington County, where the Census counts 118 full-service restaurants, 167 limited-service places, 48 cafés and snack bars and 6 bars — 339 places to eat or drink in all. St. George makes up about 42% of the county's population.
That works out at 18.5 per 10,000 residents, which is about level with the national median of 19.4 — a normal amount of choice, and a normal amount of indecision. Counter service clearly outnumbers sit-down — more a drive-through town than a linger-over-dinner one.

How this differs from Google Maps and Yelp
Maps and Yelp are directories: they rank everything nearby and leave the deciding to you. Savor Scout makes the call and shows its reasoning — the match score, what it beat, and the evidence behind the pick. The underlying place data comes from the same public sources, so the difference is the selection, not the data.
