Sometimes French fries just won't cut it.
When that happens there are onion rings — a good pile of these fried circles of goodness can truly save the day. They pair well with everything from hot dogs to burgers.
We teamed up with Yelp to find the 25 best onion rings that the US has to offer.
In order to compile this list, Yelp identified businesses in the restaurant and food categories with a significant number of reviews mentioning the words "onion rings." These places were then ranked using factors like the total volume and ratings of reviews that mention those keywords. In order to ensure geographic diversity, only two businesses per state were included.
Keep scrolling to see the spots that should be on every onion-ring-lover's bucket list.
