Top Tier Eats

About this app

Top Tier is a best-of food app built around one simple idea: the people closest to a category are the best people to tell you what's great in it. A pit-master ranks barbecue. A pastry chef ranks bakeries. A regular who has eaten every taco in the city ranks the taco trucks. Instead of infinite reviews with no point of view, Top Tier asks each curator a sharper question: what's your Top 5? That's it — five picks, ranked #1 to #5. No filler. No bottom-of-the-barrel choices padded in. When a curator gives you only four, that's honest signal too. No star ratings. No letter grades. If a place earned a spot, it's already top tier — the only question is where it lands. What you get • Ranked Top 5s: every list is capped at five, so making the cut means something. The top three get the podium — gold, silver, bronze. • City Consensus: locals' rankings blend into one rolling leaderboard per category, growing as more locals rank. Rows show live "open until X" status and distance from you, and every place reads as "Ranked #N" — tap through to the full consensus behind it. • Real people: locals and category obsessives who put their names on their picks. • 63 US cities, from NYC and LA to New Haven, Albuquerque, and Savannah. • Signature dishes done right: New Haven apizza, Chicago deep dish, Albuquerque green chile, Boston lobster roll, Memphis barbecue, St. Louis pork steak, Detroit Coney dogs. • Taste Match: find the curators whose palate actually lines up with yours, and follow them. • Built for browsing: category view, map view, deep place pages, and a "What's new in your city" rail that surfaces fresh categories as they land. Editorial picks in every city, selected from trusted local food publications (Eater, Resy, regional dailies). Join as a curator and publish your own Top 5s. Free. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. Privacy: toptiereats.app/privacy Terms: toptiereats.app/terms Support: support@toptiereats.app

Rank the night, not just the menu. Late Night, Cheap Eats, Date Night, and Patios are now available in every city, with sourced editorial picks in select cities and every city open for community rankings. St. Louis also gets its own St. Paul Sandwich category. New category art is included across web, iPhone, and Android.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
