The Best Places to Eat and Drink in the United States

Eat + Drink, change section
  1. This is a Brazilian churrascaria in the Gaslamp Quarter, the all-you-can-eat kind where meat arrives on skewers and gets sliced at your table until you surrender. It's been a fixture here forever, and after a fire during Comic-Con shut it down for two years, it has reopened over mesquite charcoal. Pace yourself at the salad bar, wear pants with give, and bring someone who can keep up with the pork ribs.

  3. A wood-fire grill is the kitchen's only heat source at this New American dinner spot on Church Ave, which means nearly everything carries a thread of smoke. The chef Vinnie Cimino draws loosely from the Istrian Peninsula, an ancestral touchstone for many Ohioans, and the seasonal menu shifts accordingly. Grab a communal table near the garage door, which swings open in warmer months. The New York Times put it on their 2026 Restaurant List.

  4. Sugarfish is the sushi spot where you stop making decisions, since the Trust Me omakase sends out a set procession and the kitchen does the thinking. It's a casual, mid-priced room in Little Italy, with a sushi counter in the back and tables filling the rest. The rice is loosely packed and still warm, and the Los Angeles original's following means a line is a plausible plan.


  5. Rank 5918. Super Kyuramen

    Ramen Shop

    The two-story honeycomb dining cubes and a lantern-lit alleyway of themed rooms give this Chinatown ramen and izakaya spot the feel of a Tokyo side street you stumbled onto by accident. Ramen bowls anchor the menu, but the kitchen also sends out dumplings, takoyaki, bao buns, and yakitori alongside sake, Japanese beer, and a full bar. It's a lot of fun for a Tuesday.


  6. Swells is a sourdough bakery on India Street in Little Italy, where a window into the dough room lets you watch strangers' future toast get kneaded. It's a takeout counter, so no seating and no dress code beyond shoes. The loaves ferment for a day and a half or longer, and the sourdough cookies exist for anyone who finds bread too responsible. They still work the farmers markets where this all began.


  7. The al pastor here is sliced while partially frozen so every cut hits the trompo at the same thickness, the tips charring and crisping while the center stays fat-slicked and juicy. It's a strip-mall taquería from the team behind Elemi, and the tortillas never sit more than a few hours off the comal. The New York Times put it on their 2026 Restaurant List, which is a lot of attention for a place that opened quietly and just makes very good tacos.


  8. This is a Spanish restaurant inside the Westfield UTC mall, which is a sentence that sounds like a dare until the paella arrives. It's a sit-down, mid-priced spot built around shareable rice, with a crisp socarrat bottom for those who fight over the burnt parts. Jamón gets sliced by hand at the table, the wine list leans heavily Catalan, and a family-run Barcelona operation is somehow doing this between a department store and a Cheesecake Factory.

  10. A Southern California pastrami institution, been around forever, finally opened its first outpost outside the state on Rainbow Boulevard, drive-thru included. The move took six years from announcement to first sandwich, which is either very Vegas or very deli. Pastrami dips are the draw, though the pastrami chili cheese fries have their own following. A casual counter spot where nobody is pretending it's anything other than a great pastrami sandwich.




  11. Throne Room is a medieval-themed cocktail bar in South Park, tucked behind a chain-mail curtain at the back of Kindred, which is the sort of sentence that used to require a very specific kind of birthday party. There's an indoor waterfall, a menu that arrives as a scroll, and Dungeons and Dragons-inspired drinks, plus tapas to keep the quest going. Reserve ahead, since dragons are apparently not required to wait.


  12. Rank 5918. Tin Tin

    French Cuban

    A Cuban-French bistro tucked into Little Havana, Tin Tin landed on the New York Times Restaurant List for 2026. The team comes out of a family Cuban sandwich shop nearby, which makes the leap to ropa vieja tortellini and yellowtail crudo in coconut leche de tigre feel both surprising and somehow inevitable. The room sits well outside the Brickell velvet-rope circuit, and the food makes that feel like the whole point.

  13. Rank 5918. Titusz

    European

    Named for the chef's great-grandfather and shaped by her Hungarian grandmother's kitchen, Titusz is a Central European restaurant in Lawrenceville that makes paprika and smoked sausage feel like spring. The room runs to gold letter-pressed menus and vases stuffed with wildflowers, which tells you something about the sensibility. The New York Times put it on their 2026 Restaurant List. Come for the lángos, a deep-fried potato flatbread piled with tangy spreadable cheese and lemony herbs.

  16. The mesquite grill and blue corn tortillas are the whole thesis here. This LA taco stand made a splashy Vegas debut after its owner shared a Super Bowl halftime stage with Bad Bunny, which is one way to announce yourself. Chicken thighs, skirt steak, marinated pork, and house chorizo are the proteins, with vegan options alongside. It's a counter spot inside a casino food hall, so dress accordingly and keep expectations pleasantly low on the ambiance front.

  17. Rank 5918. Yu by Sijie

    Chinese

    The glossy-skinned Peking duck arrives whole, gets carved tableside, and sets the tone for everything else at this Chinese restaurant tucked into Tivoli Village. Dim sum, wok-fired beef, chile-oil fish, and silky noodles follow in a dining room that leans unapologetically palatial. The kind of place where the weekend crowd shows up with a plan and still ends up ordering more than expected.


  18. The poached chicken arrives slippery and silky, its fat shocked into a jelly under the skin, but the fragrant rice cooked in chicken broth is what keeps Singaporeans texting each other excitedly. This is a no-frills chicken rice shop on Ninth Avenue doing a very specific thing very carefully, rooted in a family recipe that traces back to a legendary Singapore original. The New York Times named it among the 100 best restaurants in the city.

  31. The flower-ringed patio on University Avenue is not accidental: this is Rose Pizzeria, and it commits to the bit. Thin, crispy pies here borrow from every regional tradition and answer to none of them, landing somewhere between Neapolitan char and California confidence. The Caesar with miso and Calabrian chiles is the kind of side dish that makes you forget you ordered pizza. A spot on 50 Top Pizza USA keeps the room lively most nights.

  71. Rank 6047. Club Frills

    American Burger Joint

    Club Frills is a cocktail bar dressed as a 70s basement, with fake wood paneling, a disco ball, and tabletops that are marble only in spirit. It wears the dive costume without the sticky floors or the low prices. The drinks run low-ABV and funky, often in colors not found in nature, and the kitchen turns out a burger built around diced olives. It was a James Beard semifinalist for Outstanding Professional in Cocktail Service.

          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.
