List of James Beard America's Classics

Since 1998, the James Beard Foundation has awarded the title of America's Classics to multiple restaurants.[1] The award focuses on family-owned restaurants across the country that have been operating for at least a decade.[2][1][3][4] According to the Washington Post the awards are given to restaurants “with timeless appeal, each beloved in its region for quality food that reflects the character of its community.”[5]

The James Beard Foundation Awards have been likened to the Oscars of the food world due to its prestige and recognition.[1][6] NPR described this award category "sneakily subversive".[1] In the early years of the award, the focus was primarily on restaurants that served cuisines familiar to most Americans. However, in the late 2010s, the award began to include restaurants representing cuisines that were not traditionally considered part of the typical American diet.[1]

There were certain limitations for awardees, such as having menu items below a certain price cap. However, these restrictions were eventually relaxed. The award was initially known as the Regional Classics before being renamed as America's Classics.[7]
