Eating out is an important part of our lives, and there’s a restaurant to fit our needs, from a casual family night out to a special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary in an elegant and romantic bistro.

If you are looking for something special, these are the Top 100 Restaurants in America for 2024, highlighting the top reviewed and most sought-after dining destinations from the past year from coast to coast.

The list is compiled annually by Open Table, which analyzed more than 14 million diner reviews, along with diner ratings, reservation demand, percentage of five-star reviews among other factors, and features a diverse list of restaurants perfect for any occasion.

This year’s list includes 53 cities, including some Michelin-starred spots alongside at least one neighborhood ramen shop.

Almost all of the restaurants on the 2024 list are new this year, and not repeats from the top 100 restaurants of 2022

Surprisingly – or not, depending on your view – every one of the winners in Illinois is in Chicago.

The Top 100 Restaurants Methodology

OpenTable’s Top 100 Restaurants in America for 2024 list is generated from more than14 million verified OpenTable diner reviews and dining metrics from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.

Restaurants with a minimum threshold of diner reviews were considered and evaluated by a compilation of unique data points, including diner ratings, the percentage of five star reviews, the number of alerts set, the percentage of reservations made in advance, percentage of capacity and direct searches. Metrics were weighted to comprise an overall score, used to rank the list.
