Best of SLO County Readers Poll


For 40 years, our Reader’s Poll has been the ultimate test of local greatness—and this year, we’re turning it into a full-on survival challenge. From legendary businesses and can’t-miss events to the services you rely on most, only the strongest, smartest, and most beloved will rise to the top. Think of it as our community’s version of the reality series: no immunity idols required, just your honest opinions and hometown pride. Get ready to outvote, outlast, and outplay as we celebrate four decades of local favorites.

The ballot opens Thursday, Feb. 26 and will close on Monday, March 16, 5pm.
