The 100 Best Places to Eat in America, According to Yelp

Yelp has released its 2020 list of 100 Best Places to Eat in America and with eateries in nearly all 50 states, we can’t think of a better reason to start planning that road trip. 

To be clear, this isn’t a pure list of the 100 restaurants with the best overall Yelp ratings, but rather a curated list showcasing some of the best Yelp-reviewed joints across the country. To determine Yelp’s Best Places to Eat in 2020, a data science team first pulled the top restaurants by ratings and number of reviews in 2019 across the U.S. and then curated a list with representation based on the regions overall share of top-rated restaurants.

In our seventh annual list, we’re excited to honor eateries 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.
