Brunch isn’t just a meal—it’s a weekend ritual, a celebration of flavor, and a chance to indulge. OpenTable’s latest rankings reveal the top 100 brunch destinations across the U.S., offering everything from gourmet pancakes to bottomless mimosas. Whether you’re craving classic eggs Benedict or avant-garde twists, this list has something for every palate.

What Makes These Brunch Restaurants Stand Out?

OpenTable’s rankings are based on millions of diner reviews, evaluating factors like food quality, service, and atmosphere. The winning spots excel in:

• Innovative Menus: Think crab cake benedicts, bourbon-infused French toast, or vegan chilaquiles.
• Ambiance: Rooftop terraces, cozy garden patios, and retro-chic diners set the scene.
• Local Flavors: Many highlights showcase regional ingredients, like Southern shrimp & grits or Pacific Northwest smoked salmon.

Top 5 Can’t-Miss Brunch Spots

1. The Henry (Phoenix, AZ) – Famous for their truffle hash browns and signature "Good Morning" cocktail.
2. Sadelle’s (New York, NY) – A Manhattan staple with towering bagel stacks and house-made lox.
3. Bottega Louie (Los Angeles, CA) – A Parisian-style bakery with legendary macarons and espresso martinis.
4. Maple Street Biscuit Company (Multiple Locations) – Southern comfort meets brunch, featuring fried chicken-stuffed biscuits.
5. Café du Monde (New Orleans, LA) – The iconic beignets and chicory coffee remain unbeatable.

Pro Tips for the Ultimate Brunch Experience

• Reserve Early: Top spots book up weeks ahead—especially for weekend slots.
