Austin dominates Texas in OpenTable’s 2025 Top 100 Restaurants in America

OpenTable released its Top 100 Restaurants in America for 2025, and Austin stood out as the Texas city with the most recognized restaurants. The annual list — based on more than 10 million diner reviews, reservation demand, diner ratings, and the share of five-star reviews — highlights the country’s most sought-after dining spots.

This year’s collection reflects what diners themselves are booking and praising. Here are the Austin destinations that made the list:

Mediterranean | $50 and over

A modern, California-inflected Mediterranean restaurant known for dishes such as smoky garlic hummus, shawarma-spiced skirt steak and grilled salmon kebabs.

A West Austin favorite emphasizing fresh oysters, cold seafood platters and classic coastal cooking.

Steakhouse | $50 and over

A downtown oyster bar and chophouse offering wood-grilled steaks, market oysters and an intimate fine-dining setting.

An Austin institution since 1975, featuring dry-aged steaks, classic fine-dining dishes and one of the state’s largest wine lists.

A retro-styled “red sauce” Italian-American restaurant with classics served in a lively downtown space.
