Millions of people use Yelp across the country to search and share experiences at all kinds of restaurants — from food trucks to Michelin-starred restaurants, and more. Not to mention plumbers, barber shops, phone repair technicians… but we’re here to talk about food. With the help of our Yelp community, who contributed more than 25 million new reviews over the course of the past year, we are thrilled to announce this year’s Top 100 Places to Eat.
In our sixth annual list, we are honoring eateries from across the US that rank so highly in the Yelp community’s opinion that they earned the status of “must try this year.” From suburban staples to your new favorite hole-in-the-wall, this year’s list runs the gamut of dining experiences across the United States. Returning favorites this year include Bangers and Brews (no. 1, famous for their bangers and mash), Yardie Spice (no. 10, a Miami mainstay with their Caribbean menu) and TKB Bakery & Deli (no. 37 with its delectable sandwiches). Whether you’re looking for a tasty tapas spot or a fresh pasta, there’s something for every taste and budget on the list.
You’re going to want to make a note of these spots, so we made it easy for you. With our Collections feature, you can see the whole list in one place and follow it! To do so, open this link on mobile (make sure to have the Yelp app downloaded!) and hit ‘follow’ once you’ve opened it in the app. Now you’ll always have the top 100 with you.
Did we miss one of your must-try restaurants? Share your thoughts on the list on social media using #YelpTop100 and tell us what you think. Remember, we only know how good a spot is if people take the time to review it, so share your thoughts on Yelp, and maybe your favorites will be on next year’s list!

Methodology:
To determine Yelp’s Top 100 Places to Eat for 2019, we looked at the reviews received by businesses in the restaurant and food categories. We considered both the rating and the volume of the reviews, while accounting for the overall volume of reviews in each business’s area so as not to disadvantage businesses in areas with relatively low review volume. Businesses must be primarily a restaurant or place to eat a meal to be included on the list. If a business with multiple locations appears more than once on the list, we keep the highest ranked location.
