About Us/Contact
Welcome to Where The Locals Eat. We spotlight the best restaurants in America , emphasizing local restaurants rather than chains. We won't be showing you every single restaurant in a city because — let's be honest — you can walk down the street, drive down the block or check the Yellow Pages and find "just any restaurant." No, we'll tell you where the real best burger is in town and where to find that authentic Northern Italian trattoria. Both WhereTheLocalsEat.com and our mobile app LocalEats include thousands of restaurant listings, from pizza parlors and delis to the finest steakhouses and sushi bars.
How do we choose our restaurants, you may ask? We do what you would do. We call our friends to get their opinions, we ask the local food bloggers, we check what the local alt weekly is saying, and we read online ratings. We put it all together and then we tell you where we would eat in each city.
In other words: If we list a restaurant, you know it’s good.
Our editors control our content, so you know it's up to date. We offer mobile coupons for restaurants, many of which you would not normally associate with dining deals.
So leave the chains, the readers' polls and the oudated information to the other guys. If you fancy yourself a discerning diner — the frequent business traveler, the honeymooner, the traveling foodie — we're your guide.
