One thing I've been annoyed at Google maps for is the inability to search delis, restaurants, takeout places, etc. all in one query. I want literally everything within 2 or 3 blocks of me. I usually search "food", "restaurant", and maybe "takeout" and different stuff pops up for each.

It's gotten better. It used to be

Me: Restaurant

Google: Restaurant Supply Store

Meat Wholesale Warehouse

Place Where a Taco Cart Occasionally Parks

Former Location of a Restaurant

It's because their place data isn't so rich. Also they haven't considered it a priority to build out that kind of a search. (Despite it being a lucrative space)

It used to show all food places when searching for restaurants. Maybe they've discovered that, for most folks, those are different searches.

It use to let you filter by price and cuisine but that seems to be gone.

I don't know how annoyed you are about that, but you could probably easily build that using their api.
