How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.

Missing a place, a dish or a closure? Tell us and we will fix it.

Place data in part © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL) and Overture Maps Foundation (CDLA Permissive 2.0, ODbL, and Apache 2.0 for records from Foursquare Open Source Places). Some websites and phone numbers come from Overture, matched to our listings by name and location in November 2026.
