OpenTable released its Top 100 Restaurants in America for 2025, and Austin stood out as the Texas city with the most recognized restaurants. The annual list — based on more than 10 million diner reviews, reservation demand, diner ratings, and the share of five-star reviews — highlights the country’s most sought-after dining spots.
This year’s collection reflects what diners themselves are booking and praising. Here are the Austin destinations that made the list:
Mediterranean | $50 and over
A modern, California-inflected Mediterranean restaurant known for dishes such as smoky garlic hummus, shawarma-spiced skirt steak and grilled salmon kebabs.
A West Austin favorite emphasizing fresh oysters, cold seafood platters and classic coastal cooking.
Steakhouse | $50 and over
A downtown oyster bar and chophouse offering wood-grilled steaks, market oysters and an intimate fine-dining setting.
An Austin institution since 1975, featuring dry-aged steaks, classic fine-dining dishes and one of the state’s largest wine lists.
A retro-styled “red sauce” Italian-American restaurant with classics served in a lively downtown space.
Contemporary Mexican | $31 to $50
