In a list of the Top 100 Restaurants in America for 2025 compiled from 10 million reviews on OpenTable, just one eatery in Dallas-Fort Worth made the cut.<\/p>\n

Mister Charles, the flashy French and Italian restaurant on Dallas\u2019 Knox Street that was recently lauded by Michelin for its \u201cexceptional cocktails,\u201d<\/a> was the only North Texas spot to make OpenTable\u2019s 2025 list.<\/p>\n

OpenTable is an online reservation booking system. Data for the Top 100 list was collected between Sept. 1, 2024, and Aug. 31, 2025.<\/p>\n

Mister Charles has been open since 2023<\/a> and inhabits a historic property that once housed the 106-year-old Highland Park Soda Fountain<\/a>. This high-fashion restaurant from Dallas company Duro Hospitality serves \u201can irreverent play on the classics,\u201d as the menu states. <\/p>\n

Customers stop in for single bites that range from $5 to $14 and include a fancy chicken nugget with caviar and a tiny lobster roll. Entrees at Mister Charles include whole Dover sole with lobster beurre blanc and several maximalist steak options like Wagyu short rib Wellington, New York strip with sauce au poivre and a porcini-rubbed rib-eye with bordelaise.<\/p>\n

OpenTable\u2019s list of 100 restaurants does not rank favorites, so it isn\u2019t clear where Mister Charles stacked up against the competition. But, in the state of Texas, there\u2019s a clear city winner: Of the 10 Texas restaurants, eight are in Austin. Dallas got one entry, with Mister Charles. Houston got one, with BCN Taste & Tradition.<\/p>\n

Wow, that\u2019s tough love for Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston, the two largest metro areas in the state.<\/p>\n

Austin restaurants honored include J Carver\u2019s Oyster Bar and Chophouse, Jeffrey\u2019s, Red Ash Italia, Sammie\u2019s Italian and Suerte.<\/p>\n

Finishing out the Austin list are three restaurants with ties to Dallas. Clark\u2019s Oyster Bar, which started in Austin, is expected to expand to Dallas in 2026<\/a>. Mediterranean restaurant Aba is also expected to launch in D-FW in next year. And, Uchi \u2014 one of Texas\u2019 best-known Japanese restaurants that started in Austin \u2014 has been in Dallas since 2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n

OpenTable reports its most sought-after dining city is Chicago, which nabbed 16 out of the 100 spots. No other cities in Illinois had an entry in the Top 100. <\/p>\n

The next-highest city is New York, with 11 out of 100. Austin\u2019s not far behind, with eight.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, a report on the Top 100 notes many of the restaurants on the list seat 75 people or fewer. In a survey, OpenTable reports that \u201c48% of Americans find cozy\/local charm as the most appealing restaurant interior style in 2026.\u201d Perhaps that\u2019s a trend we\u2019ll see more of in the coming years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a list of the Top 100 Restaurants in America for 2025 compiled from 10 million reviews on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54635,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,324,104,103,320,5460,5458,1623,354,27,16493,6208],"class_list":["post-54634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-fortworth","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-food-and-drink","tag-knox-henderson","tag-michelin-guide","tag-restaurant-news","tag-restaurants","tag-texas","tag-texas-travel","tag-travel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54634\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
