These Philly restaurants named among nation's top-grossing indies

State of play: Restaurant Business recently released its Top 100 Independents list, which included the two eateries from Philly restaurant mogul Stephen Starr.

Zoom in: The French bistro Parc, which overlooks Rittenhouse Square, was the highest-ranked Philly spot on the list, coming in at No. 20.

• The restaurant pulled in $24.3 million from more than 442,000 meals served.
• The average check: $49

Meanwhile, the Rittenhouse steakhouse Barclay Prime ranked 96th, grossing $11.5 million from roughly 65,600 meals served.

• Average check: $209

How it works: The ranking considers restaurants independent if they have fewer than six locations.

• Rankings are based on gross 2024 food and drink sales, which is gathered through surveys or estimates based on public data and other factors.

Worth noting: Despite Starr's massive industry presence in Philly, none of his restaurants pulled in any Michelin awards this year.
