Send me the list

Voting is officially open for Best of Morris County 2026, our countywide awards program built on one simple idea: the people who actually eat, shop and get their hair cut here should be the ones deciding who is best.

No panel of judges. No pay to play. Just a ballot, twelve categories, and every business in all 39 towns eligible to win.

The twelve categories

  • Best Pizza
  • Best Restaurant
  • Best Breakfast Spot
  • Best Coffee Shop
  • Best Bar or Brewery
  • Best Dessert Spot
  • Best Salon or Barber
  • Best Gym or Fitness Studio
  • Best Home Services Pro
  • Best Local Shop
  • Best Realtor
  • Best Downtown

More than 250 businesses are already on the ballot

Every one of them came out of our own coverage, the roundups and guides we have published across Morris County over the last few years. Start typing a name and it will come up.

That list is a starting point, not a limit. If your favorite spot is not on it, type the name in. Write-in votes count exactly the same.

How voting works

The ballot takes about two minutes. Vote in as many categories as you want, or just one. One ballot per person, and you can come back and update it any time before voting closes. The newest submission is the one that counts.

Voting is free, nominating is free, and no business can buy a nomination or a win.

Voting closes November 30, 2026. Winners are announced in December and every category winner gets featured here on Shop Morris County, in front of more than 140,000 readers a month.

Business owners, this is the part that matters

The businesses that win are going to be the ones whose regulars actually show up for them. If you run a shop, a restaurant, a salon or a service business in Morris County, share the ballot with your customers and let them go to bat for you.
