At Keeper, we’re committed to helping you maximize your tax write-offs — and there are a lot of them to consider. But the most delicious write-off? That’s gotta be the business meal.

A tax-deductible business meal doesn’t need to involve a white tablecloth and a lunchtime martini (though it certainly can). According to the IRS, self-employed workers can deduct 50% of the cost of business meals as long as the food or drink is “provided to a current or potential business customer, client, consultant, or similar business contact.” 

This means that the following types of meals are business write-offs:

• Taking a client out for lunch
• Pitching a prospective client over dinner
• A networking coffee date
• A meal with a colleague where you discuss work

We wanted to know where Keeper users across the country were heading for their business meals. We figured their top picks would be delicious — after all, if you’re meeting with a client or a prospect, you want to take them somewhere great.

In the list below, you’ll find the most popular business meal spot among Keeper users in each U.S. state. While some popular regional chains are featured, large national chains (think McDonalds and Chick-fil-A) were not eligible for inclusion. The result is tons of variety — you’ll find fancy steakhouses, coffee shops, fast-casual standbys, and food court favorites on this list.

Intrigued by a spot near you? Stop by for a snack! And if you’re planning a business trip to one of these states, even better: You already know where to have your meetings.
