Trending follows the largest positive changes in Restaurant Score over a monthly comparison. The current scores are dated October 9, 2026; the comparison target is September 9, 2026. The nearest earlier weekly observation, up to 14 days before that target, supplies each restaurant's starting score.

Changes are measured in points. Explore the scoring methodology for more context.
