There’s nothing like an honest review to give you a sense of how exceptional (or unexceptional) a restaurant really is. This year, Yelp recently released a list of the top 100 restaurants in America to visit in 2020, based on user reviews. The best part? Two Ohio restaurants made the list—and they definitely deserve the recognition. Scotty’s Cafe in Columbus and Asiana Thai and Sushi in Cincinnati represent the Buckeye State in America’s top 100 restaurants for 2020, according to Yelp. Here’s why these hidden gem restaurants are no longer best kept secrets:

Hiding in an unassuming strip mall, Scotty’s Cafe is home to some of the best comfort food in all of Ohio. It ranked as #29 on Yelp’s list of top 100 restaurants.

If you’re stopping in for lunch, you can’t go wrong with the Reuben or any other sandwich.

dbowentraveler/TripAdvisor Pro tip: Pair it with some tomato soup and it’s perfection.

Breakfast is served all day here and it’s just as mouthwatering as the lunch options. We highly recommend any of the omelettes or the French toast.
