    Top 100 US restaurants of 2022 based on 13 million OpenTable reviews...

    I cry total b.s. on this. I have never been to any of these restaurants, but they're resort restaurants. I've been to resort restaurants and they're all corporate - like Cracker Barrel.

    No. 9: Be Our Guest Restaurant at Walt Disney World. Named for the famous “Be Our Guest” scene in "Beauty and the Beast," this dining experience at Magic Kingdom Park features three different themed rooms, including a magnificent ballroom, the Beast’s West Wing study and the Castle Gallery designed as a replica of Belle’s private library. The same menu of American and French cuisine is featured throughout with quick-service ordering by tablets at each table during lunch and breakfast. Dinner is a more formal sit-down affair.

    No. 8: Leaky Cauldron at Universal Orlando Resort. If you're looking for traditional British food while you're at Universal Orlando Resort, slip inside this dining hall. Fans of Harry Potter will remember it as the oldest pub in London at One Diagon Alley, built by Daisy Dodderidge as a gateway to the non-wizarding world. You can enjoy bangers and mash, fisherman's pie, toad in the hole and ploughman's platter while your kids feast on fish and chips.


    th-3069704018.jpg


    No. 7: Das Festhaus at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.
    With a restaurant decked out like a Bavarian beer garden, this taste of Germany will transport you to the old country. Sample their knackwurst, bratwurst, red cabbage and German potato salad in air-conditioned comfort while being entertained with singing and dancing. Don't miss the sausage sampler if you have a healthy appetite. It's a great place to take a break and relax while touring Busch Gardens Williamsburg.


    th-3165594590.jpg


    No. 5: Mythos Restaurant at Universal Orlando Resort. The unique setting of Mythos alone is a feast for the senses. Guests step into a grotto with intricate carvings of ancient figures on the walls and towering rock formations. A seasonal menu offers salmon, risotto, pad thai, burgers and more. A full wine list is also available while outside seating provides views of Islands of Adventure's inland sea and colorful islands.


    No. 4: Aunt Granny's Restaurant at Dollywood. Aunt Granny's restaurant is a sit-down dining restaurant located in Rivertown Junction at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Guests choose from a variety of comfort food meats and sides, such as fried chicken and macaroni and cheese, which are constantly refilled at the table so that each guest can help themselves to as much as they want. Bread and desserts are also included to round out the meal.


    No. 3: Trappers Smokehouse at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Follow the intoxicating aroma of outdoor pit barbecue to the New France section of Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and you'll find Trapper's Smokehouse. Nothing beats hickory and oak-smoked spareribs and slow-smoked chicken with a side of mac and cheese, and if you're hungry, tackle the sampler. The beef brisket is smoked for ten hours, but you'll want to save room for their tempting selection of desserts. Enjoy!


    No. 2: Yak and Yeti at Walt Disney World. Yak & Yeti, a Nepalese-style restaurant inside Disney’s Animal Kingdom, serves a menu of pan-Asian dishes – ahi tuna nachos, pork potstickers and tempura chicken – at the base of Expedition Everest. Adult diners can sip on Asian beers, chilled sakes and creative $#@!tails from the full-service bar. An adjacent quick-service restaurant offers lunch and dinner on the go.


    th-57027874.jpg


    No. 1: Confisco Grille at Universal Orlando Resort. This grill offers a menu influenced by Asian, Mediterranean, Greek and other cuisines, conveniently located at the Port of Entry at Islands of Adventure. You'll have trouble deciding between French onion soup and pad thai, pork belly banh mi or American burgers, sticky ribs and ahi tuna nachos, among other delicious options. This relaxed indoor setting is the perfect way to introduce global flavors to family members of all ages.

    A friend of mine that has eaten at The French Laundry, says that Chez Francois in Vermilion Ohio is head and shoulders above it.

    The best restaurant for the dollar, at least for breakfast, is Waffle House. Excellent breakfast, good service and the occasional shoot out during late night services.
    Devotion to the truth is the hallmark of morality; there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking.”

    I like the Roadkill Cafe in WVa.

    I am not big into chain restaurants, even the 5 star ones. I actually prefer to just cook for myself.

    Are there 5 star chain restaurants - but agree about the chains?
