Visiting a new city? Feeling adventurous? Or just can’t make up your mind? Those are a few of the reasons 145 million users turn to Yelp every month to find the best restaurants in local communities. 50% of people ‘Yelp’ a business before going there. So many that, yes, it has become a verb!
Yelp.com was the 44th most-visited website in the world in 2022. We decided to look at its impact in Wisconsin by breaking town the highest-rated and most-reviewed restaurants in the state’s 10 biggest cities.
NOTE: Some Yelp suggestions are slightly outside of defined city limits. (For example, a Middleton restaurant may appear in a Madison search.) We still included those in our lists to represent a greater area.
