The team at Yelp said they used a technique based on the Wilson Score to compile this year's ranking, taking into account both the restaurant's star rating as well as number of reviews to see which places were really the post popular in the Yelp community.

The number one restaurant in America this year is, surprisingly, a roadside joint in Hawaii named Da Poke Shack, which has a solid 5 stars with 614 reviews. The tiny establishment only has two tables inside, but it's the fresh seafood that customers on Yelp rave about.

Rounding out the top 5 were Caribbean restaurant Paseo in Seattle, Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue in Kansas City, vegan food truck The Cinnamon Snail in New York City, and Porto's Bakery in Burbank, CA.

Here's the full list of restaurants below. It's an interesting mix of high- and low-end:
