Where are the best restaurants in Texas, according to a Yelp list of the 100 highest-reviewed eateries in the United States?
I’ll tell you where they’re not: Dallas.
Yelp’s 2026 list of 100 “drool-worthy, Yelper-loved places to eat” includes zero in Dallas proper. That’s a record-scratch moment. Perhaps it stings even more to learn that No. 2 on the list, a steakhouse called Taste of Texas, is in Houston.
Open up Yelp’s list, then scroll down. And down some more. There, you’ll find four restaurants in Fort Worth, Carrollton, Frisco and Plano in Yelp’s Top 100.

Dallas-Fort Worth’s top-ranking restaurant sits at No. 36. Japanese restaurant Hatsuyuki Handroll Bar in Fort Worth is a favorite among several members of the Landman cast, who were spotted in and around Fort Worth restaurants and bars for months while they filmed the Paramount+ TV show. Hatsuyuki was also on Yelp’s list of DFW’s Top Places to Eat for 2025.
Hatsuyuki Handroll Bar is at 907 Foch St., Fort Worth.
Just behind it, at No. 37, comes Korean restaurant Gold Spoon in Carrollton. It holds an impressive 4.8 stars on Yelp, with nearly 240 reviews. Gold Spoon’s menu includes a seafood hot pot, Korean-style pancakes and beef bulgogi.
Gold Spoon is at 3040 Old Denton Road, Carrollton.
The country’s No. 49th best restaurant, Yelp said, is Hutchins BBQ in Frisco. (This is, notably, not the original Hutchins in McKinney, but a restaurant in the neighboring suburb owned by the same side of the Hutchins family.) One Yelper called Hutchins “our favorite BBQ spot in Texas” and complimented its moist brisket, creamy mac and cheese and free desserts.
Hutchins BBQ is at 9225 Preston Road, Frisco.
Slipping in at No. 59 is Edmond’s Burgers and More, a shop in a no-nonsense strip mall in central Plano. It didn’t make The Dallas Morning News’ recent list of favorite burger joints, but it sounds like we should check it out for next time. Beyond cheeseburgers, Edmond’s sells a reuben, chicken-pesto sandwich, BLT and more.
Edmond’s Burgers and More is at 2919 W. 15th St., Plano.
If you’re up for a road trip, Yelp’s list includes more than 15 Texas restaurants in its Top 100.
The very best restaurant, Yelp users say, is Italian restaurant Ci Siamo in New York City.
