The 100 Best Places To Dine In America, According To Yelp

Yelp, the company that connects people with great local businesses, today announced its 10th annual Top 100 Places to Eat list, celebrating must-visit restaurants in communities across the United States.

Each year, Yelp analyzes the millions of reviews on its platform and considers suggestions from users to name the best local eateries, including food trucks, cafes and delis.

Topping this year’s list is Broken Mouth in Los Angeles. With a 5-star Yelp rating and more than 1,300 reviews, the Hawaiian-Korean cafe serves up comfort food dishes such as spam musubi, a seaweed-wrapped spam dish on purple rice, and meat jun, a traditional fried beef dish. Broken Mouth’s location in a downtown food hall makes this local favorite a hidden gem.

Broken Mouth’s top spot is also part of a larger trend of island cuisine featuring prominently on this list. For the first time, island cuisine leads the top five on the list, with Kaaloa’s Super Js Authentic Hawaiian Food taking the second spot, and Adela’s Country Eatery in Oahu landing at number five.

“From food trucks and sandwich shops to fine dining establishments, the Top 100 list reflects the diverse tastes and uniqueness of our community of users,” said Tara Lewis, Yelp’s Trend Expert. “It is powered by the people, not a small group of restaurant critics, and we look forward to consumers continuing to share their dining experiences in their reviews.”

To determine Yelp’s Top Places to Eat in 2023, Yelp reached out to the user community first, requesting individuals submit their favorite restaurants. Yelp’s data science team analyzed the submissions from the community, determining the top restaurants by ratings, number of reviews, and volume of submissions, with geographic representation based on equal share of submissions of top-rated restaurants nationally. Yelp further curated the list with the expertise of Community Managers around the country to finalize the rankings. And here they are:
