PHOENIX — Have you made your "must try" restaurants list for the year?
You may want to add a few more restaurants to it.
On Tuesday, Yelp released its rankings of the "top 100 places to eat in the U.S. for 2019" and six Phoenix-area restaurants made the cut.
Yelp said it looked at restaurant reviews in the food and restaurant categories, the number of reviews and the restaurants ratings.
The six Arizona restaurants featured were:
- Worth Takeaway (#14), 218 West Main Street Mesa, Arizona 85201
- Kodo Sushi Sake (#26), 15040 N Northsight Blvd., suite 104, Scottsdale, AZ 8526
- Homers Smokehouse (#39), Homers Smokehouse BBQ, 1532 W. Ocotillo Rd. Queen Creek, AZ 85140
- Cocina Madrigal (#68), 4044 S 16th St., Phoenix, AZ 85040
- Momo Bowl (#76), 725 Apache Trail., Apache Junction, AZ 85120
- Not Your Typical Deli (#83), 1166 S. Gilbert Rd., #101, Gilbert, Arizona 85296
Worth Takeaway was the only Arizona restaurant to make the top 15. It is the second time the Mesa eatery has been recognized by Yelp. It was named to the same list in 2017.
Missing from the 2019 list is Little Miss BBQ who has been featured in Yelp's annual roundup the last three years.
