Top 10 Social Media Restaurant Accounts to Follow

Bad Roman

Bad Roman's menu and social media feed take maximalism to the extreme! From the same team as Quality Bistro, Quality Italian, and Quality Meats, this culinary love child is serving up something eclectic for everyone. The tequila alfredo cocktail? Weird and yet…intriguing.

Something interesting about Bad Roman is that they only joined social media in January 2023 and have already gained 60k followers. This is undoubtedly due to their aesthetic, trendy content, and gorgeous imagery!

Luppeto

This wood-fired Italian restaurant’s social media feed is literally serving rustic Italian vibes! Their branding is exceptionally consistent, and the feed is full of the same gorgeous, one might say, wood-fired hues as their interior.

Something that stands out on their page is the variety of UGC content. Showing people coming to your restaurant and LOVING it is critical to get more feet in the door; they do an excellent job of that. Even more impressive is that they’ve carefully selected UGC content that is almost perfectly brand-consistent to re-share. 

Bar Primi

It’s giving color, creativity, and PASTA! One of the strongest aspects of the restaurant’s social media feed is its attention to seasonality. As their seasonal menu offerings change, so does their content. You always know which dishes are offered for what season.

Their community management team is also ON IT. They are sure to like or reply to every comment on every post, which makes their new and returning customers feel like they are part of the Bar Primi family.

Eleven Madison Park

Talk about classy! Aside from their chic menu offerings, their social media feed is serving up something that a lot of restaurants are missing on social media: team features.

They do an incredible job highlighting their chefs, staff, and customers. Hearing from the people creating the gorgeous meals and the outstanding dining experience elevates their content and gives them more of a “why” behind what they are doing. It makes their feed feel like it’s more than just a restaurant!

Farm & Craft

I’d like to give a major shoutout to whoever is capturing photo and video content for Farm & Craft. Their content really does make you want to dive right into the phone and take a bit or have a sip! 

They have some of the most visually appealing video content I’ve seen a restaurant have, especially when it comes to content featuring their drink menu. Much of their video content also highlights the experience of coming to Farm & Craft for brunch or a drink. How cool is it to see exactly what you’ll get when you go as you’re scrolling through social media?!

Uchi

This non-traditional Japanese restaurant is all about providing guests with high-quality food and exceptional service. Its social media feed, like its dining experience, is a perfect combination of these two pillars. 

Their content is the perfect balance of delicious bites and thoughtful staff contributions. Many of their captions feature quotes and stories from their staff, as well as insight from their team on how to best enjoy their Uchi experience.

They also did an “Uchi Love Stories” series for Valentine’s Day featuring couples whose love stories blossomed at Uchi. How cute?!

Ok, but is social media even that important for my business?
Uh, YEAH!

Ollie Vaughns Kitchen & Bakery

There are layers and layers of goodness on this restaurant page—and I’m not just talking about their stacked sandwiches and layered desserts! What I love most about their social media presence is that they really let the food do the talking. They keep their captions short and sweet (sometimes they are only a few words), but the food looks so delicious that THAT is what draws you in.

Nina May DC

Everyone loves a behind-the-scenes moment, and Nina May DC’s feed is dishing up the BTS! In this restaurant’s social media feed, they frequently take the phone into the kitchen and show their audience exactly how their chefs are preparing some of their menu favorites.

They also take full advantage of Instagram’s collaborate feature—their feed is full of value-packed UGC content, and it’s clear that they are a favorite of many in the area!

Honeymoon Chicken

Is there really a way to eat fried chicken that isn’t messy? Probably not, and Honeymoon Chicken is embracing this with their extremely immersive social media content!

What is the #1 thing you need to pair with fried chicken? Sauces. 🤤Honeymoon Chicken’s content does a phenomenal job of bringing their followers up close and personal to their chicken. There’s people eating, dipping, and enjoying—so much so that it makes you feel like their menu is right in front of you already!

Timber Pizza Company

What is one thing that is at every birthday party you’ve ever been to? Pizza. Timber Pizza Company’s social media truly brings the pizza to every event (even your second divorce).

They also do a fantastic job of creating content that is trendy and full of memes. If you scroll through some of their content, it’ll quickly become clear that this is totally their vibe, so their audience knows they are in for a good time the next time they go in for a slice.
