How the board moves

A shortlist you can trust.

The rule is simple: every person gets one equal vouch, recent support matters more, and the order updates daily.

01

Put your name behind it.

One verified account can give one equal vouch to every restaurant it genuinely stands on.

02

Let recent support matter.

Older vouches gradually fade, so a restaurant must keep earning its place.

03

Keep the field open.

Search the wider catalogue and nominate what is missing. Eligibility never guarantees rank.

04

Keep the facts fresh.

Vouch checks the restaurant field each week for closures and moves. Anything uncertain is reviewed by a person before the board changes.

Beyond the ten

The whole city stays in contention.

More restaurants make a better signal. Each city starts with a broad reviewed field. Search broadly, vouch carefully and leave the practical note the next person needs.

City Insider

Know where to go and what to order.

The free board tells you where. City Insider adds the full Top 10, a saved list of your own and insider notes from real visits: the dish to order and the detail worth knowing before you go.

One plan, monthly or yearly, with 7 days free for eligible subscribers. Membership is purchased inside the Vouch app and never changes a vouch or a rank.

Corkscrew BBQ No. 3 in Houston

What to order
Ask for the fatty brisket. The peach cobbler is a must, especially if you have a sweet tooth.
Pro tip
There has been a line on all three of my visits, and they can sell out. Go about 30 minutes before opening.

For restaurants

Earned, never bought.

No restaurant can pay for placement, a badge or extra weight. Places rise when locals vouch for them, and recent support counts most. Missing from the field? Anyone can nominate a place in the app; a person reviews eligibility, and eligibility never guarantees rank.

For regulars

Your taste counts.

Every verified local gets one equal vouch per place, and your comments carry your public name. Vouch for the places you would send a friend, and leave the practical note the next person needs.
