Submit your nominations for Roanoke’s best restaurants today!
It’s time to vote in our 40th Annual Readers’ Choice Dining Awards!
From the Best Burgers or Pizza, to Best Overall Restaurant – and even the valley’s Top Chef – we need YOUR help to identify and honor the very finest in our region!
NEW This Year: In honor of our 40th year, we’ve changed things up and will have two rounds of public voting!
ROUND 1 – Nomination Round (now through June 3, 2026)
Vote for your favorites from the nominees listed on the ballot, or write in your own picks to get them in the running. Every write-in nomination also counts as your vote in that category during this round.
ROUND 2 – Finalist Round (June 10 – July 12, 2026)
The top nominees from Round 1 will advance to the finals. During this round, voting is limited to finalists only, and all write-in activity will be closed.
Cast your nomination votes today to make sure your favorites are in the running, then stay tuned for details on the final round later this summer!
Thank you for helping us celebrate our incredible food scene. We can’t wait to see who you crown this year!
