This Years Finalists
We asked, you answered—loud and clear! Carroll Magazine is proud to announce the results of our first annual Readers’ Choice Awards, where the power to nominate and vote was placed entirely in the hands of the community.
Every nomination and every vote came directly from the public—no editorial input, no behind-the-scenes selections, just honest favorites chosen by thousands of engaged Carroll County readers.
To ensure fairness, each vote was verified by email, and the businesses with the most verified votes earned the title of Readers’ Choice. From best bites to standout services, this list reflects the voices of those who live, work, and thrive in Carroll County.
Congratulations to the winners and honorable mentions (in alpha order not in order of place) and thank you for taking the time to vote!
