Best of Best Winners
Citizens of Southlake have exercised one of the
inalienable rights – to have their voices be heard as
they cast their ballots in the 2015 Southlake Best of
the Best selection process.
Some are making their inaugural appearance on the
Best of the Best winners’ list. Others are perennial
top vote-getters on the list, earning their status in the
hearts of readers for good reason.
The results are in, and we reveal what the official
tally says about your choices for the top performing
businesses, organizations and individuals in
Southlake. Readers voted in a variety of categories to
share their opinions and to spotlight the businesses
and individuals they turn to for everything from a
savory meal to a great dry cleaning job.
We offer our congratulations to all of those who
appear in the 2015 list of the Best of the Best
honorees.
Some of this year’s winners are multi-tasking
favorites, winning top votes in multiple categories.
Best of the Best winners are chosen by Southlake
Journal readers in an unscientific poll.
Winners are not selected by the Star-Telegram or
Southlake Journal, and their inclusion implies no
warranty or endorsement.
