Is there any way to search for restaurants around where you are going, NOT where you are?

Every time I search for restaurants near a certain location, Maps pulls up stuff near where I am instead.

There certainly are other apps available for what you are looking for:

ex. Yelp

Find a location in Maps on Mac - Apple Support

Use Maps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

You can submit your user experience Apple Feedback http://www.apple.com/feedback

It works fine if you give Siri enough information. If I say, "Hey Siri. Show me restaurants near Apple Valley, Minnesota", or "Hey Siri. Show me restaurants near Cody, Wyoming", that's exactly what I get. One is closer to me than the other, but neither is within 25 miles of where I actually am.

If you don't give Siri enough information to work with, it can only assume your current location as a starting point.

I know isn't really in reference to your question, but I find it much easier to narrow down where I really want to look for such things, rather than relying on Maps.
