Check out the 100 best restaurants in D-FW, according to Yelp users

Sometimes the best way to get a restaurant recommendation is to seek the advice of someone  who's been there. That's the idea behind Yelp, anyway — it's a place for people to log their experiences around town and to share those with others. Yelp reviewers rate businesses and leave an explanation of how each experience went.

With all that data, the elves behind Yelp Dallas and Yelp Fort Worth were able to pull lists of which restaurants are considered to be the best in town, as rated by their thousands of Yelp users. The San Francisco-based company measured the number of reviews as well as the overall star ratings in Dallas, Denton, Tarrant, Collin, Rockwall and Kaufman counties.

(Of course, you could also consult Dallas Morning News critic Leslie Brenner's list of her top 100 restaurants. It's a good one.)

As you peruse the list below, note the variety: In the top 10, there's an underground restaurant, a taqueria, a cheese shop, a German deli and a sushi restaurant. (Now, whether these are truly the best restaurants in town is up to you and your taste buds.)
