How this list works

Every restaurant here carries a recorded mention from Check, Please!. They are ordered by how many professional critic publications have written about them overall — not by user reviews, star averages or popularity.

This covers the most critically acclaimed restaurants in the 2 cities we index, so it is not an exhaustive list of everywhere Check, Please! has ever been. A publication with fewer than 8 recorded restaurants gets no page at all.
