How we made this list
This list was created using Google ratings and review counts as of October 22, 2026. To ensure a reliable sample size, only restaurants with at least 100 reviews were considered for inclusion. A weighted rating formula was applied to the raw scores so that establishments with very few reviews did not rank unfairly above those with many.
