Tripadvisor's ratings of Restaurants around the world included honors for a pair of Branson eateries.

In a new category established this year, the Pickin Porch Grill on Highway 165 and Rocco's Pizza on Highway 248 ranked seventh and eighth in the Best Hidden Gems category, which rates restaurants that are local favorites that may be away from the main areas of the community. 

According to the release from Tripadvisor, the 2022 Best of the Best Restaurants are calculated based on the quality and quantity of reviews and ratings for restaurants on Tripadvisor collected from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, specific to each award subcategory, as well as an additional editorial process.

Fine Dining and Everyday Eats are among the categories that are rated.
