Some people gatekeep their favorite restaurant. Others rave about it to everyone they know, heavily compliment the staff every time they come in, and of course, post incessantly online about their favorite spot. Yelp<\/a> users, aka Yelpers, are some of those people, and in 2025, they left hundreds of millions of reviews to recommend (and perhaps warn about) restaurants all over the world.<\/p>\n This January, for the 13th year in a row, Yelp has used this user-sourced date to curate a list of the top restaurants in the United States. Unlike other awards (Michelin) or accolades (Le Liste<\/a>), this list comes purely from everyday people who choose where they spend their time, money and appetite.<\/p>\n Yelp analyzes user reviews for all restaurants within the country by looking at the total volume and ratings of reviews, and ensures that every restaurant on the top 100 list has a passing health score as of November 6, 2025. <\/p>\n From the data, yelp was also able to identify predominant food trends including sandwiches for dinner, sushi, and \u201cgrandma-core\u201d dining. <\/p>\n Slices of pizza at L’Industrie in Brooklyn<\/p>\n L’Industrie<\/p>\n \u201cThe trends for these restaurants are always really fascinating and reflect the user searches we see on Yelp. This year\u2019s trends like \u2018nonna-stalgia\u2019 and all-day breakfast spots point to a calling for comfort food that really warms the soul,\u201d said Tara Lewis, Yelp\u2019s VP of Consumer Expansion and Trend Expert. \u201cWe all know food can be transformative, so seeing a big calling for that escape into warm, cozy dishes speaks volumes to what consumers are seeking out. This year\u2019s list spotlights everything from affordable comfort food to memorable culinary experiences you can\u2019t find anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n At the top of 2026\u2019s Best Places to Dine: Ci Siamo<\/a>, an upscale Italian restaurant in New York City led by chef Hillary Sterling known for comforting, elevated dishes like rigatoni alla gricia with crispy guanciale and Florentine steaks with flaky rosemary salt. It\u2019s very on trend and still original. For those who want to recreate the restaurant at home, Sterling\u2019s first cookbook, AMMAZZA! Culinary Adventures from New York to Italy and Back Again<\/a>, debuts this May. <\/p>\n Yelp\u2019s full list, below:<\/p>\n Yelp\u2019s 2026 Top 100 Places to Eat in the U.S. Ci Siamo, New York, NYTaste of Texas, Houston, TXNAM Kitchen, Gardena, CAWaffle and Berry, Honolulu, HIComfort Cafe, San Antonio, TXAdela\u2019s Country Eatery, Kaneohe, HIBroken Mouth, Los Angeles, CAGW Fins, New Orleans, LASlackwater, Salt Lake City, UTPepp & Dolores, Cincinnati, OHButcher\u2019s Union, Grand Rapids, MIPorzana, Minneapolis, MNLeven Deli, Denver, CORJ Skillets, Portland, ORJoe\u2019s Kansas City Bar-B-Que, Kansas City, KSGreek Bistro, Glendale, CaliforniaTsukiyo Sushi, Los Angeles, CaliforniaPapi\u2019s Ohana, Lahaina, Maui, HawaiiFat Of The Land, Santa Ana, CaliforniaCOTE Miami, Miami, FloridaThanh Tinh Chay, San Diego, CaliforniaZen Curry and Grill, Temecula, CaliforniaRock N\u2019 Potato, Las Vegas, NevadaNoko Nashville, Nashville, TennesseeLudi\u2019s Restaurant & Lounge, Seattle, WashingtonLucky Noodle, Las Vegas, NevadaL\u2019industrie Pizzeria, Brooklyn, New YorkDegthai, Nashville, TennesseeMeesh Meesh, Louisville, KentuckyEkiben, Baltimore, Maryland Ton Shou, Las Vegas, NevadaTumerico, Tucson, ArizonaDe Babel, Scottsdale, ArizonaRutba Indian Kitchen, Las Vegas, NevadaCharoen Krung Thai, New York, New YorkHatsuyuki Handroll Bar, Fort Worth, TexasGold Spoon, Carrollton, TexasGurum\u00e9, New York, New YorkVon\u2019s 1000 Spirits, Woodinville, WashingtonAlma Fonda Fina, Denver, ColoradoCorazon De Agave, Phoenix, ArizonaLarb Thai-Isan, Fort Lauderdale, FloridaXiaolong Dumpling, Houston, TexasAroy Mak Thai Food, Seattle, WashingtonDa Andrea \u2014 Chelsea, New York, New YorkMawn, Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaTaqueria De Diez, Austin, TexasLewis Barbecue, Charleston, South CarolinaHutchins BBQ, Frisco, TexasAga\u2019s Restaurant & Catering, Houston, TexasGino\u2019s Deli Stop N Buy, San Antonio, TexasTaco Viva, Phoenix, Arizona167 Raw Oyster Bar, Charleston, South CarolinaLapisara Eatery, San Francisco, CaliforniaMikiya Wagyu Shabu House, Houston, TexasGeorgetown Seafood, Washington, District of ColumbiaSushi Yume, Round Rock, TexasYuubi Sushi, Beaverton, OregonEdmond\u2019s Burgers & More, Plano, TexasFlavor Rich Restaurant, Atlanta, GeorgiaJayd Bun, South Kingstown, Rhode IslandWhip My Soul, Austin, TexasThe Ginger Mule, Houston, TexasRevelry, Pompano Beach, FloridaCiccio Mio, Chicago, IllinoisBird Bird Biscuit, Austin, TexasCafe Bonjour, Boston, MassachusettsChay Restaurant, Falls Church, VirginiaShabu En, Houston, TexasCrackings, Santa Rosa Beach, FloridaSongbird, St. Louis, MissouriRosalia\u2019s Kitchen, Miramar, FloridaThe Chef\u2019s Table, Houston, TexasUmai Nori, Washington, District of ColumbiaStasio\u2019s, Orlando, FloridaCafe Kacao, Oklahoma City, OklahomaTelva at The Ridge, Webster Groves, MissouriFountain Grill, Ashburn, VirginiaMemoir, Omaha, NebraskaYunta Nikkei, Charlotte, North CarolinaThe BEP Corner, Duluth, GeorgiaBlues City Deli, St. Louis, MissouriBirdies by Chef Kevin Lee, Edmond, OklahomaMonell\u2019s Dining & Catering, Nashville, TennesseeKhao Moo Dang, Portland, OregonF\u00fado, Chamblee, GeorgiaZeneli Pizzeria, New Haven, ConnecticutRoom Service, Milwaukee, WisconsinBoard and Drink, San Francisco, CaliforniaTwo Chicks Caf\u00e9 \u2014 CBD, New Orleans, LouisianaCarmelina\u2019s, Boston, MassachusettsKitchen Social, Columbus, OhioThe Butter Milk Ranch, Nashville, TennesseeZesty Creole, New Orleans, Louisiana618, Freehold Borough, New JerseyUn Amor, Chicago, IllinoisPolite Society, St. Louis, MissouriTrivoli Tavern, Chicago, IllinoisGolden Banh Mi, Aurora, ColoradoMatt and Tony\u2019s All Day Kitchen Bar, Alexandria, Virginia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pastas at Ci Siamo in New York City Giada Paoloni\/Ci Siamo Some people gatekeep their favorite restaurant.
