#10 Screen Door, Portland, Ore.
2337 East Burnside Street
"Oh my god this place. Just the best. We waited for ages, which I normally refuse to do, but it was worth it, and sat at the bar, which I normally don't like, but I liked it this time. The food was just unbelievable. We had pimiento cheese and fried chicken and shrimp and grits and it was all just heavenly. The service was super nice too." — TripAdvisor reviewer Lotuscat
#9 Uchi, Austin, T.X.
801 South Lamar Boulevard
"If you are looking for a culinary experience this is where you will want to go. From the chef's to the wait staff, and everybody in between, this place is just amazing. Menu intimidating? No worries, the food runners will tell you exactly how to eat each plate for maximum enjoyment. Love love love the food and ambiance." — TripAdvisor reviewer shemingwa
#8 Island Creek Oyster Bar, Boston
500 Commonwealth Avenue
"I was completely full and on a tastebud high after this meal. It was amazing and the staff stopped by ever so often to smile when we gave them a basically clean plate or completely empty wine glass." — TripAdvisor reviewer ninska_10
