6 FL Restaurants Are Among Top 100 In US In New Ranking

Six eateries in Florida are included on a list of the 100 most “drool-worthy” restaurants in the country by the business review and ratings site Yelp.

Yelp said its Top 100 US Restaurants 2026 ranking showcases the highest-reviewed restaurants by its users. Chefs across the country “are plating up memorable, can’t-miss meals at fine-dining rooms, food halls, counter-order favorites, cozy cafés and wallet-friendly gems that deliver big flavor without the big bill,” Yelp said.

Here’s how Florida fared on the list, including the menu style and few reviews of the featured restaurants:

• COTE Miami, No. 20, 3900 NE 2nd Ave., Miami Design District, Miami

"What stands out most about COTE Korean Steakhouse is the experience. Incredible service, amazing food, and great vibes all around," a Yelp reviewer said.

• Larb Thai-Isan, No. 42, 6234 N. Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale, Thai

"The restaurant is located in a very busy shopping center, so parking can be a bit limited. Once inside, it's vibrant, colorful, and incredibly authentic. The aromas hit you immediately and make you hungry on the spot. The dining room was packed, and the takeout area was lined with bags, which really shows how popular this place is," a Yelp reviewer said.

• Revelry, No. 64, 227 S. Federal Hwy., Pompano Beach, Tapas

"Excellent little cozy bar/lounge with cute decor. Locals should RUN not walk this spot. Excellent service. Great couches, need a boost in cushions, they sit too low, as cushions are worn. Overall I love. Diverse crowd," a Yelp reviewer said.

• Crackings — Santa Rosa Beach, No. 70, 51 Uptown Grayton Cir., Santa Rosa Beach

"Crackings is great! Staff were friendly and eager to help. Late breakfast but the place was packed. We found 2 seats at the bar. Two bartenders working and both were awesome. Suggested the mini doughnuts, so we followed their lead and they were delicious! Traditional breakfast with fresh fruit and a coffee for me, more than enough to get you through the day! Cool atmosphere and they even had live music," a Yelp reviewer said.

• Rosalia’s Kitchen, No. 72, 12130 Miramar Pkwy., Miramar

"We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The customer service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. The cozy atmosphere made it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal, and the food was delicious and well prepared. A great spot we'll definitely be returning to," a Yelp reviewer said.

• Stasio’s, No. 75, 210 N. Bumby Ave., Orlando

"Hands down, Stasio's is the best deli in ALL of Orlando. This cute little Italian grocery store has a deli and bakery attached where fresh sandwiches are being made by the kindest, well informed, fast working staff," a Yelp reviewer said.

Yelp said trends for 2026 include:

• “Grandma-core”: “Nonna-stalgia” brings simple, slow-cooked family recipes, often with mismatched dinnerware.
• Sandwiches for dinner: Elevated comfort food sandwiches are popular after dark, with nine spots on the list.
• All-day breakfast: Cafés and brunch spots claim nine slots.
