2026 Best of the West

Welcome to the 11th year of Best of the West, Revue’s annual readers survey where the people of West Michigan choose their favorite restaurants, bars, musicians, attractions, people, artists and much more.

This year, we once again have two rounds of voting. In the first round, voters had a blank slate to write in whoever/wherever they wanted for each category!

Round 2 is now open! Cast your votes now through May 15, and check out the finalists in each category by clicking the category icons below.

You might notice that we added quite a few categories this year, so keep an eye out for new opportunities to support your local faves!

When we enter the second round, voters will choose who is the best of those three—easy!

Here's the timeline:
Round 1 Voting: February 20 - March 20
Finalists announced: March 30
Round 2 Voting: April 24 - May 15

Once both rounds of voting are over, winners will be announced in the July 2026 issue of Revue. In the meantime, thank you so much for supporting local people, places and organizations.
