We asked Yelpers to tell us about their favorite restaurants, the lunchtime go-tos and special occasion spots that they can’t wait to return to. We are thrilled to reveal the Top 100 Places to Eat in 2021. This year’s list of the 100 best places to eat is the culmination of thousands of suggestions we received from the Yelp community, a list of favorite restaurants where we can’t wait to enjoy a meal with loved ones again.
Two Metro Phoenix restaurants, Simon’s Hot Dogs in Scottsdale and Intentional Food Cafe and Market in Mesa, are ranked in the Top 10 of Yelp’s 100 best places to eat. Casa Corazon Restaurant in Phoenix and The Parish in Tucson also make the Top 100.
This year’s No. 1 spot, Kelley Farm Kitchen, is a women-owned vegan restaurant. In the last several years, we’ve seen interest in vegan foods as well as a support for women-owned businesses rise. Searches for women-owned businesses were up 2,739% in 2020, compared to 2019, and mentions of plant-based in reviews were up 26% for the same time period. Nearly all of our Top 100 are affordable spots where you can enjoy a meal for $30 or under and most are new entries to the list this year. What could possibly be better than that?In our eighth annual list, you’ll find eateries from across the US that run the gamut of dining experiences. New this year, you’ll find Kelley Farm Kitchen, a West Virginia restaurant making their Top 100 debut at no.1, and Maple Leaf Diner, a Texas spot where Yelpers love the Chicken, Bacon and Waffles. These five-star spots join returning favorites Arun’s Indian Kitchen, who celebrate their 5th year on the list, and Local Expedition Wood Fired Grill. Whether you’re looking for a white tablecloth experience or a grab-and-go vegan deli sandwich, there’s something for every taste and budget on the list.
