The Best of Annapolis Food & Dining winners are here, as voted by our readership. This is an important designation. You chose the winners on the following pages; nobody paid to be included on this list.
So, thank you to our loyal readership that took the time to vote for the tops in town when it comes to restaurants and fave dishes. Last fall we called upon you to write-in your recommendations in many categories. After carefully vetting ballots for any duplicates or multiples originating from one source (no ballot stuffing allowed), we arrived at the resulting winners.
Editor’s Note: As we go to press on this issue and list of winners, we acknowledge that the COVID-19 situation has affected business operations. The good news is that many restaurants and vendors on this list are still offering delivery, curbside, and takeout menus; and many of the best items on this list are available to purchase. Please support these local businesses as they—like us—navigate, adjust, and creatively survive the COVID-19 situation. Thank you!
And the winners are…listed alphabetically by category
