We Still Tip The Best

Yes, Philadelphians are still tops in tipping, adding 19.4% on top of the bill over the past year.

While some other nations’ diners pay much more for their meals, they are not big tippers. Americans, on the other hand, are more generous — especially in cities like Orlando and Philadelphia (both 19.4%) and St. Louis (19.3%) where tipping exceeds the national average (18.9%). Inexplicably, West Coast diners tip less than those on the East Coast, up to a full percentage point less in San Francisco and Los Angeles (18.4%)
