The Best Places to Eat and Stay in the United States

Eat + Stay, change section

  1. Cal's Country Kitchen is a meat-and-three on Dickerson Road, run by a son who shut down his own chicken-in-a-waffle-cone operation to take over his mother's old spot. The original sign made the move too, which is the kind of loyalty you can't fake. The menu lives on a handwritten board that changes daily, so plan on a line and a lunch you can't fully predict. Nashville Scene gave it Best Comeback in 2024.

  6. Rank 17957. Cherbourg Cyprus

    Gluten-free Bakery






  7. Rank 17957. Chili Miso Udon, Café Mochiko

    Japanese Noodle Shop


  8. A small chocolatier in Fountain Hills where the bonbons are the reason to make the drive. Louis and Denise Mirabella work in the bean-to-bar mode, making chocolate in-house, but the real draw is their bonbon range, which runs from classic cherry cordials and gianduja to passionfruit caramel and zinfandel ganache. The fillings hit with an intensity that makes each piece feel like it's been concentrated down to its purest form. Phoenix New Times named them best bonbons in 2024.

  9. Rank 17957. Cincy Crab

    Seafood

    Cincy Crab is a seafood boil spot in Springdale where the whole point is eating with your hands, bibs and all. You pick your seafood by the pound, choose a sauce, and it all arrives with corn, sausage, and potatoes in a bag you basically attack at the table. Ohio is a long way from any coastline, but the place doesn't seem to notice. Cincinnati Magazine named its seafood boil the city's best in 2024.

  12. Rank 17957. Cool Gelato Italiano

    Italian Ice Cream Shop


  13. The smell of jerk chicken charring over fire hits you before you reach the door, which is all the orientation you need. Cool Vybz is a no-frills Jamaican spot on the north side of Phoenix, the dining room strictly functional, the cooking anything but. The chef came up on the island and keeps the menu short: curry goat, oxtails, brown stew snapper. Phoenix New Times named it the city's top Caribbean restaurant in 2024, and the jerk alone makes a reasonable argument for why.


  14. A pasty bar doing roughly fifty fillings, from tikka masala to cheeseburger, in a cavernous downtown Phoenix space that somehow feels more Cornish pub than desert Southwest. The multi-story room stays dark despite the chandeliers, and the second-floor railing gives you a perch over the pool tables below. Draft Guinness is the obvious move. Phoenix New Times named it among the top 100 bars in the city.

  19. A 99-tap draft list is the kind of thing that sounds made up until you're standing in front of it. This Deep Ellum bar and restaurant sprawls across a 10,000-square-foot dog-friendly patio, with heaters for the nights when Dallas pretends it has winters. Cocktails lean creative alongside the craft beer deep dive, and the kitchen runs brunch and bar food that takes itself seriously enough to matter.

  26. Edessa Burger & Pizza is a casual counter spot on Nolensville Pike, from the people behind the Kurdish and Turkish restaurant Edessa. The signature is a seasoned burger wrapped in pizza-dough bun, which settles an argument nobody should have to have at dinner. Nashville Scene gave it a Best of Nashville nod for decadent bite. Come hungry, wear stretchy pants, and plan to skip the salad.

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          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.
