The Best Places to Eat and Drink in the United States

  1. Rank 15199. Pilgrim’s Inn

    Seasonal Tavern

    Cortney Burns, who made her name at Bar Tartine in San Francisco, runs this restaurant and tavern on Deer Isle by rotating a different chef-in-residence through the kitchen each month. The result shifts constantly, though the tavern menu holds steadier. It landed on the New York Times Restaurant List for 2025. The crowd driving up from the mainland for whatever's on that week tends to take the whole thing very seriously, as they should.


  2. Ketchup cans serve as wine buckets, which tells you most of what you need to know about this no-frills seasonal New England restaurant on Midcoast Maine. The chef came up through Jean-Georges and the Fat Duck, then traded all that for foraging his own mushrooms and smoking his own haddock. The New York Times put it on their 2025 Restaurant List, which is an odd fate for somewhere this deliberately unshowy, but here we are.

  3. Rank 15199. Turkey Legg Man

    Kansas City Barbecue

    The pitmaster works the smoker outside and greets the sidewalk with a Polish sausage in his tongs and "We ain't playing, Jack." This small barbecue spot with food-truck roots in northwest Kansas City keeps the turkey leg as its centerpiece, dark meat staying moist under taut, browned skin. The turkey leg stuffed with mac and cheese makes the menu very on-brand. The New York Times put it on their 2025 Restaurant List, which feels about right for a place this committed to one idea.

  12. Fufu made from scratch and shito, the shrimp pepper sauce that shows up on nearly every table, are the signals that this is something Seattle doesn't have much of: a proper West African restaurant serving Ghanaian and Liberian cooking. The minimalist First Hill room fills fast with regulars who already know the goat peanut soup and newcomers working their way through peri peri wings and fried plantains for the first time.

  15. The house margarita comes classic or customized with a rotating cast of infusions, watermelon and mezcal being a popular pairing. This Jalisco Mexican restaurant on Main Street splits its attention evenly between the kitchen and the bar, with a cocktail program run by a veteran Valley bartender. The food leans into both traditional plates and the occasional fusion detour, and the whole thing has a chic, polished room that feels a little more considered than your average neighborhood spot.

  31. All Or Nothing is a bagel shop built around a wood-fired oven and a pun: "All" for everything, "Nothing" for plain, both sourdough. It began as a folding table and a pizza oven outside a drum shop and has since graduated to an Airstream. Order at the window, expect schmears made in-house, and watch a summer series hand the griddle to local food trucks. It has won Best New Bagel Spot and Best Chef Series from the Nashville Scene.

  34. Warm booth seating, a patio with live music some nights, and servers who can actually talk you through the list make this Evanston wine bar feel more like a neighborhood living room than a tasting room. Whites, reds, rosés, and cocktails share menu space with charcuterie and flatbread pizzas, so a glass rarely stays lonely. The kind of place where a quick drink tends to turn into a longer evening without anyone minding.

  37. The side-pull tap that delivers a European-style pour with an extra few inches of foam is a good signal of what kind of taproom this is. Catalyst leans into big, playful styles, including sours, imperials, and hoppy IPAs, alongside a rotating cast of more traditional options. An in-house kitchen called S.A.L.T. handles food, and there's a generous patio when the weather cooperates, which in Tempe is most of the year.

  38. A Clarkdale winery sitting in the Verde Valley, Chateau Tumbleweed is probably best known for Le Blend, a red that changes grape count and composition every vintage, pulling from southeastern Arizona vineyards. The current pour stacks ten varieties into something that manages to be both ambitious and easygoing, dark fruit up front, no punishing tannins at the end. Phoenix New Times named it Best Arizona Red Wine in 2024.

  44. Rank 15246. Husk

    Southern

    A Victorian mansion that once housed Nashville's mayor now houses a Southern restaurant with a commitment so strict on local sourcing that the menu can change daily. Wood-burning ovens do heavy work, meaning plenty of smoked, grilled, and barbecued dishes done in the classic style. Tables downstairs look out over the vegetable gardens, which, given how directly those gardens inform your plate, feels less like a view and more like disclosure.

  52. A 17,600-square-foot pool area anchors this sprawling dayclub and nightclub on Scottsdale's main party corridor, where the outdoor scene runs on cabanas, three bars, and a taco stand beneath what's reportedly the Valley's largest LED video wall. When the sun goes down, the indoor club takes over with a vortex-shaped dance floor and the kind of bottle service that keeps the staff very busy. The crowd skews young, attractive, and aware of both facts.

  53. Bike racks out front, canal path out back, and enough cold beer in between to make the math work. OHSO on Central is a casual brewery and pub where cyclists roll in mid-ride for burgers, sandwiches, and whatever's on tap, then roll back out again. The walls are covered in bike decor, the patio is built for lingering, and nobody is keeping score on how long you stay.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
