This morning, Yelp released its annual list of the "Top 100 Places to Eat" in the nation, and three Tampa Bay restaurants made the cut.
To come up with the list, the popular crowd-sourced review website says it reviewed user submissions, ratings, the overall number of reviews, and then finalized everything with their local "Community Managers."
In the end, Florida had 13 restaurants make the Top 100. Only California had more restaurants included on the list, with 18.
The top ranking restaurant in Tampa Bay was Mio’s Grill & Cafe (119 2nd St. N) in St. Petersburg, which came in at No. 12 in the nation. "Don’t miss the “absolute fire” baba ganoush, “smooth and garlicky” hummus, “moist and flavorful” falafel, and “hands down the best” Greek salad in town," said Yelp.
This isn't the first time Mio's has made the Yelp Top 100 List. Last year, the Mediterranean spot was ranked No. 14.
Bayshore Mediterranean Grill (6102 S MacDill Ave.) in Tampa also made the list, with a No. 75 ranking. And finally, out in Oldsmar, Shaker & Peel (3159 Curlew Rd) came in at No. 80.
Here are the full ranking of Florida restaurants:
No. 5: Fratellino Ristorante (Miami)
No. 12: Mio’s Grill & Cafe (St. Petersburg)
No. 34 Amy’s French Bakery & Bistro (Pompano Beach)
No. 44: Edoboy (Orlando)
No. 56: Bunbury (Miami)
