I’ve used ZipLocal search a few times, and it’s been hit or miss for me too. Some results are great, but others are way off. I think it’s good for getting a general idea, but I wouldn’t rely on it 100%.
If you’re looking for something more reliable, I’d recommend checking out Foursquare or even just asking around in local Facebook groups.
