Yelp says its list is comprised of both "new discoveries and longtime favorites."
The user-review site put its data science team to work in coming up with the list, it said. The scientists "analyzed user submissions to determine the top restaurants by ratings, number of reviews, and volume of submissions, and finalized the rankings with the expertise of our Community Managers," Yelp said.
