OpenTable Review Widget for WordPress — Free, No Plugin Needed

BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for WordPress is a free, plugin-free embed that displays your OpenTable reviews on any WordPress site. It works with both Gutenberg (block editor) and the Classic Editor, requires no coding, and works with any public OpenTable restaurant page — from fine-dining rooms and neighborhood bistros to cafés, steakhouses, and multi-location restaurant groups. Every review comes from a verified diner who booked through OpenTable and honored the reservation, and the widget shows real 1–5 star ratings — the header rating is your live OpenTable average, no conversion, no percentages. Unlimited widget views on every plan. 100+ widget styles (slider, marquee, grid, list, masonry, badge, compact badge) with light and dark themes plus a free custom color picker. SEO rich snippets — schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD — are injected automatically, making your WordPress pages eligible for star ratings in Google search results.

How to embed OpenTable reviews on WordPress in 60 seconds

  1. Paste your OpenTable restaurant URL into the BlooTrue builder that opens when you pick a style below.
  2. Pick a widget style and customize colors, theme, and layout.
  3. Publish, then copy the one-line HTML embed code from the builder.
  4. In WordPress Gutenberg, add a Custom HTML block and paste. In Classic Editor, switch to the Text tab and paste.
  5. Publish — your OpenTable reviews are live.

Does BlooTrue work on WordPress.com?

Self-hosted WordPress (wordpress.org, the 95% case) supports the widget fully. On WordPress.com, the Business tier or higher supports custom HTML and works. The free WordPress.com plan strips script tags for security, so the widget will not render there.

SEO + AI schema · paid plans

Get golden stars in Google search results

On paid plans, every BlooTrue widget injects schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD straight into your page — so Google and AI answer engines can read your ratings and reviews as structured data, and your pages become eligible for star-rating rich snippets. (Google treats a business's own reviews on its own site as "self-serving" and doesn't guarantee stars for them — product/service reviews are the most reliably eligible; either way your reviews become machine-readable for search and AI.)

Your Business — Trusted by 500+ Happy Customers

4.9
(127)
This is what your customers see when they Google you — powered by BlooTrue's JSON-LD.
  • Zero config — it just works

    The moment you embed a BlooTrue widget, JSON-LD markup is injected automatically. No extra tags, no developer time.

  • Google Rich Results valid

    Every field follows Google's current structured-data guidelines — LocalBusiness, AggregateRating, and Review — so it passes the Rich Results Test out of the box.

  • Standalone schema endpoint Paid plans

    For star ratings to appear under your parent page's blue link in Google, search engines need the schema on the parent page itself — iframe-embedded schema is not propagated to the host page. Paid plans expose a JSON-LD endpoint per widget that you drop into your<head>for SERP rich snippets on product, landing, or legacy pages. Schema markup is a paid feature: free-plan widgets display your reviews but don't emit JSON-LD, so free pages aren't eligible for rich snippets.

What gets injected automaticallylive
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Your Business",
  "aggregateRating": {
    "ratingValue": "4.9",
    "reviewCount": "127"
  }
}
</script>

Star-snippet visibility is ultimately decided by Google — valid schema is a prerequisite, not a guarantee. BlooTrue ships the markup; Google decides which queries get stars. For SERP rich snippets to appear under your parent page's link, the schema must be served on the parent page itself — that's what the standalone JSON-LD endpoint (paid plans) is for. Schema markup is a paid feature, so free-plan widgets display your reviews but don't emit JSON-LD. Independent studies find pages with valid review schema see materially higher click-through rates than plain listings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the BlooTrue OpenTable widget free for WordPress?

Yes, BlooTrue is completely free for WordPress. No credit card, no plugin needed, and BlooTrue never caps widget views on any plan, free or paid. The free plan shows OpenTable reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Does OpenTable have an official review widget for WordPress?

No. OpenTable’s official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews. BlooTrue fills that gap and works with any public OpenTable restaurant page. Just paste your opentable.com/r/your-restaurant URL into the BlooTrue builder.

Do I need a WordPress plugin to use BlooTrue?

No. BlooTrue uses a pure HTML embed that works in Gutenberg's Custom HTML block, the Classic Editor's Text tab, and the Custom HTML sidebar/footer widget. No plugin to install, configure, or update.

Will the BlooTrue OpenTable widget slow down my WordPress site?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after your page content, so it never blocks rendering. The script is under 20KB and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical load impact is under 50ms — well within Core Web Vitals thresholds.

Does it work on WordPress.com or only self-hosted WordPress?

Self-hosted WordPress works perfectly. WordPress.com Business plan and above also allow custom HTML and work fine. The free WordPress.com plan strips script tags for security — the widget will not load there. Upgrade to a paid WordPress.com plan or migrate to self-hosted WordPress (wordpress.org) to use the widget.

Can I customize the widget to match my WordPress theme?

Yes. The widget supports light and dark themes, 8 preset accent colors plus a free custom hex picker, two card layouts (reviewer-first or review-first), and toggles for reviewer names, dates, review text, and profile images. The outer background is transparent, so it blends with any WordPress theme automatically.
