Yeah, you have to take these kind of “reader” or “viewer” awards with a giant grain of salt…they tend to go with the known quantity over the truly good quality.
It's not to say that these places don't deserve some recognition, it's just hard to believe that every one of them is truly the best in their category.

Dicks as best burger?!?! While I admire the company for the way they treat their employees the food is barely better than McDonalds. I can think of numerous places in Ballard all of which put Dicks to shame: Zestos, Lunchbox Lab, King's Hardware, Scooter's, etc., etc.

Next up I suppose they'll give the best Mexican food award to Taco Del Mar!

Yeah for Space Oddity!

Congrats Naked City! :-)
Though, I do have to question Dick's being in the greasy spoon category.

Good to see these Ballard businesses stand out as being the best. Congrats winners! There were also many Ballard businesses that ranked in the Top 5! I think is just goes to show that Ballard has a lot of great things going on.
