Results of our annual reader survey of the best
food and drink, services, shopping and more
In this year’s BEST OF 76107 reader survey we received confirmation that many of you have strong opinions and want to share your insider perspective with others. The 2019 version of our BEST OF 76107 survey had more than 850 completed ballots, and local businesses received over 7,100 votes in one or more categories. To prevent ballot stuffing, readers were only allowed to submit one ballot per email address, and also had to reside in the greater Tarrant County area. In addition, to encourage a broad base of votes in each category, participants who cast votes in 20 or more categories were eligible to receive a $500 grand prize. To be among the BEST OF 76107 winners you had to meet certain criteria. First, you had to have a location in the zip code or, in the case of a service-based business, the 76107 zip code had to be part of your service area. You also had to be a top vote-getter in your category. In many categories we are recognizing two winners — both a Readers’ Choice and a Publisher’s Pick. Both winners were top vote-getters. While we congratulate these winners, we recognize that many successful and popular businesses did not make the list. Our area is fortunate to have a variety of choices from which to select and this list is provided as a service to readers who may be new to the area or are looking to branch out and try a new restaurant, service-related business, or other retailer. Keep reading for the complete list of 96 winners in 56 categories.
