Review schema markup, on paid plans

Paid widgets add schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD to the page they sit on, so search engines and AI answer engines can read your Google reviews as structured data. Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself, so the gain is readability, not stars. The free plan shows the reviews without the schema. See how the schema works

Why Use BlooTrue for OpenTable on Drupal?

The free way to put OpenTable reviews on a Drupal site — the official widget only takes reservations.

Shows the Reviews OpenTable's Widget Won't

OpenTable's official website widget only books tables — it never displays your reviews. BlooTrue is the free, paste-and-go complement: it pulls verified-diner reviews from your public OpenTable restaurant page automatically.

No Drupal Contrib Module Required

Pure HTML embed. No drupal.org module install, no Composer dependency, no permission scopes to approve.

Works on Drupal 7 through 11

Works with Olivero (D10/D11), Bartik (legacy), Claro (admin), and every custom Drupal theme. Embed code is identical across major versions.

Verified Diners Only, Real Stars

Every OpenTable review comes from a guest who booked and honored a reservation, with a real 1–5 star rating. The widget header shows your upstream average exactly as OpenTable reports it — no conversion, no OpenTable API key, no restaurant-account access required.

How Do I Install BlooTrue OpenTable on Drupal?

Takes less than a minute. No coding, no contrib module install, no OpenTable API key.

Build your widget on this page

Use the BlooTrue builder on this page. Paste your OpenTable restaurant page URL (e.g. https://www.opentable.com/r/your-restaurant) and your real verified-diner reviews load into the live preview.

No sign-up, no OpenTable API key, no restaurant-account access required.

Customize the Look

Pick one of 100+ styles, choose light or dark theme, set your accent color, and toggle reviewer names / dates / profile images on or off.

Copy the Embed Code

Publish and copy the embed code. The embed is a single HTML snippet — no Drupal module install, no Composer dependency.

OpenTable Review Widget for Drupal — Free, Shows the Reviews the Official Widget Won't

BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for Drupal is a free, module-free embed that displays your OpenTable reviews on any Drupal restaurant site. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews. BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling verified-diner reviews (real 1–5 star ratings from guests who booked through OpenTable and honored the reservation) from any public OpenTable restaurant page and turning them into a paste-ready Drupal embed. Works on Drupal 7, Drupal 8, Drupal 9, Drupal 10, and Drupal 11 via the built-in Custom Block + Full HTML text format. No drupal.org module install, no Composer dependency, no OpenTable API key required.

Why doesn't OpenTable's official widget show reviews?

OpenTable's first-party widget is built to do one thing: book tables. It embeds a reservation form, not your review feed, so the verified-diner ratings that persuade guests to book stay locked on opentable.com. Third-party widgets are the standard way Drupal restaurant sites surface their OpenTable reviews on their own pages — BlooTrue is the free option in that category.

About OpenTable reviews in this widget

Your OpenTable widget shows the diner reviews from your restaurant's OpenTable page, the one at opentable.com/r. The score heading the widget is the overall star rating and review count OpenTable reports for that page, rather than a number built from the cards. Every review comes from a diner who booked through OpenTable and honoured the reservation, so nobody who did not sit down at your tables can post one. OpenTable's own website widget only takes reservations; pasting it in the hope of seeing diner reviews gets you a booking form, since OpenTable has no review embed.

Frequently Asked Questions

I already have the OpenTable reservation widget on my site, does it show reviews too?

No. OpenTable's reservation widget takes bookings and offers no way to show diner reviews. The BlooTrue widget is a separate one-line embed built from your opentable.com/r restaurant URL, showing the reviews diners left after honouring a reservation, with the OpenTable rating and review count in the header taken from your page.

Are OpenTable reviews worth embedding if diners can only review after a reservation?

Yes, because that rule is what sets OpenTable apart. OpenTable only opens the review form to a diner who honoured a reservation booked through OpenTable, so every card on your site comes from a person who ate at your restaurant on a known date. Sites that let anyone post cannot say that about their reviews.

How quickly does a new OpenTable review reach my website?

On a paid plan, by the next day: the widget refreshes from your OpenTable page every 24 hours, so a review written after last night's reservation appears the following day, and the BlooTrue badge is removed. On the free plan the diner reviews are the ones imported when you first published the widget; new ones do not arrive.

Is the BlooTrue OpenTable widget free for Drupal?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Drupal. No contrib module install, unlimited widget views, no credit card.

Does OpenTable's official widget show reviews on Drupal?

No. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews. BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling verified-diner reviews from any public OpenTable restaurant page.

Do I need an OpenTable API key or developer access?

No. BlooTrue works with any public OpenTable restaurant page — no OpenTable API key, no developer application, no restaurant-account access required.

Do I need a Drupal contrib module to display OpenTable reviews?

No. BlooTrue uses a pure HTML embed that drops into a built-in Drupal Custom Block. The only Drupal-side requirement is that the body field uses the Full HTML text format.

Why does my embed code disappear when I paste it into Drupal?

Drupal's default Basic HTML and Restricted HTML text formats strip script tags. Switch the body field's Text format to Full HTML before pasting, then click the Source button to enter raw HTML mode.

Does the widget work on Drupal 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11?

Yes. The widget is pure client-side HTML and JavaScript. Admin paths differ slightly between Drupal 7 and Drupal 8+, but the embed code is identical.

Where exactly should I paste the embed code on Drupal?

For region placement, use Structure → Block layout → Custom block library with the Full HTML + Source flow. For Layout Builder (D8.7+), use an Inline block. For inline node placement, edit the node and switch body to Full HTML.
