We’re excited to announce Yelp’s Top 50 Places to Eat in KC in 2017! Here at Yelp, we’re obsessed with the food scene in this wonderful city and love being the word-of-mouth guide for locals and visitors alike to discover the hidden (and not-so-hidden) gems.

Whether it’s a local household name or a new joint you’ve never heard of, you’ll want to eat and drink your way through this list throughout the year.

To the surprise of nobody, the top of the list is the iconic, must-visit, most-talked-about spot in town – Joe’s Kansas City at their original location. The remaining picks run the gamut throughout the metro on both sides of the state line. These range from sushi spots in the Kansas suburbs to upscale downtown restaurants or fresh-squeezed juices in Midtown.

To create this list, Yelp data scientists ranked local, non-chain businesses in Kansas City based on the number of reviews and overall star rating. Check out the full list below and look for the “Top Places to Eat” sign at your favorite local eateries around town. Read all the way to the end for a bonus “10 Hot New Businesses” to bookmark for 2017.
