If you can stomach this suggestion:
Rachel Ray [ I know, I know] suggests that you ask locals as they are the ones who deal with places on a regular basis. If you are to believe her, it kind of makes sense.
I live in a tourist destination, and I eat at places over and over again.
A tourist may only try a place once; love it or hate it, and never return.
I am not saying thanks folks on a board don't know beans about good food, but locals might just be source as well. IMHO of course..

Along those lines, cars in a parking lot - especially midday.
If the parking lot is full outside a nondescript eatery, ya know the food inside is good.
I've pulled quite a few Uturns in new places - and gone back to such a place and haven't been disappointed yet.

I agree with Starrs.. that is a pretty good indicator. Did that in Hilo and had an excellent meal.
Also, check out the chamber of commerce, tourist bureau for ideas.
Ask people as they exit a restaurant if they would go back again. Better than asking how was your meal, which they may just answer good.
