Last week I looked at which review sites were considered by Google in the ranking of the Top 10 Restaurants in Buffalo, NY. Here is a similar analysis of the review sites for Dallas compared to Buffalo:
| Directory | 2008 February Buffalo | 2008 February Dallas |
| 10best.com | 1 | 2 |
| AOL.Com | 7 | |
| ChefMoz.org | 8 | 2 |
| Citysearch.com | 70 | 80 |
| DallasObserver.com | 4 | |
| Dine.com | 4 | 14 |
| DiningGuide.com | 9 | |
| Dinnerbroker.com | 5 | |
| Dishola.com | 1 | |
| Frommers.com | 1 | 1 |
| Gayot.com | 4 | 7 |
| 5 | 7 | |
| InsiderPages | 20 | 2 |
| Judysbook.com | 41 | 3 |
| Mytravelguide.com | 1 | 2 |
| RestaurantRow.com | 2 | |
| SuperPages.com | 1 | |
| TripAdvisor | 31 | 19 |
| Virturaltourist.com | 4 | |
| Yahoo.com | 20 | 11 |
| Zagat | 69 |
Several items of note:
• There were 7 additional review sites referenced in Dallas (those in bold)
• Judy’s Book which shut down last October (although the site is still live) seemed to have much more of a Buffalo presence
•Zagat has a very strong presence in Dallas but little in Buffalo, I wonder why?
•The Dallas Observer, an obviously local site, has a presence
•CitySearch is the obvious leader in both cities
