These days, shoppers rarely buy anything without checking online reviews first — it’s so helpful, why not? So when a restaurant has received the most positive reviews online, it’s worth taking note. TripAdvisor recently revealed the best-reviewed restaurants in the U.S. for 2019, and we’re getting hungry!

The world’s largest online travel site divided chain restaurants into three categories based on the number of restaurant locations: small (10-50 locations), medium (51-100 locations), and large (101 or more locations). Rankings for each were determined using an algorithm that took into account the quality, quantity and recency of reviews from all of the chain’s locations over the past 12 months.

So did your favorite hub for grub make the cut? If it didn’t make the top 10 best chain restaurants of the year, pay it a visit, and write it an honest review. You’ll be helping other diners know what a great spot it is.
