How this ranking works: We machine-scan the community discussions (Reddit threads and food guides in the search index) for each venue's name, then blend: community mentions 70% (mentions ×10, 'the best' superlatives ×6, normalised) + Google review strength 30% (rating above a 3.8 baseline, weighted by review volume). Global fast-food and dessert franchises are excluded. This page is auto-mined; flagship pages get hand curation on top.
