Urbanspoon app from Wanderspot
Urbanspoon offers a genuinely fun way to decide where you are going to eat. It includes a restaurant slot machine, where you can shake your smartphone / tablet and the app will randomly select a restaurant given your criteria. The app provides ratings, popularity and pricing of restaurants. You can even check table availability and even make reservations directly from your Android Tablet or Kindle Fire HD tablet. Whether you want to eat at a Chinese, Middle Eastern, Italian or Mexican restaurant, you can read reviews from other restaurant customers. Once users choose a restaurant, they can map it directly using the app. You can even post your own review after enjoying a meal.

OpenTable is my favorite restaurant app, but I hesitate to recommend it here because it works better on smartphones than on tablets currently.
