(NEXSTAR) – Unlike some other Mother’s Day gestures — e.g., buying mom flowers or a new bathrobe — taking your mother out to brunch is a gift for the both of you.
Picture it: You and mom, out for a fancy brunch, sharing endless laughs over endless mimosas. Just gabbing and gossiping away, stopping only to gobble down Belgian waffles or eggs Benedict.
It’s a lovely way to spend the day — but you’d better secure a table at a nice spot, lest you and mom find yourselves eating Eggo waffles and drinking vodka-spiked Tang over your sink.
To help with your search, the analysts at Yelp have ranked the 100 top-reviewed brunch restaurants on the platform. This year, eateries in 30 states made the list, though some states have far more restaurant representation than others.
California, as usual, had the most entries on Yelp’s ranking with 15, three of which made the top 10. Florida followed with 11 entries, and Texas trailed close behind with nine entries total.
The top spot, however, was reserved for Toasted Gastrobrunch, a Las Vegas restaurant with hundreds of glowing reviews.
“Everything was great, service was perfect and the menu was decently priced,” one recent Yelp reviewer wrote. “Can’t wait to go back to sample some of their other menu offerings!”

In compiling this year’s list, Yelp’s team limited its rankings to businesses in its Breakfast & Brunch category, concentrating on user-generated reviews that frequently mentioned “brunch” and “Mother’s Day.” The eateries were then ranked based on several factors, including their ratings and volume of reviews over the last three years.
The full list of Yelp’s “Top 100 Brunch Spots,” along with a map of their locations throughout the U.S., can be found at Yelp.com.
