Welcome to 2027 DFW Favorites

We live, shop, eat, and play in beautiful Dallas-Fort Worth and we wouldn’t have it any other way. In celebration of our great communities, Fort Worth Star-Telegram is presenting 2027 DFW Favorites. This contest is truly designed to engage the community in celebrating the places, restaurants and local businesses we love.

 

The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic regions in the country, known for its entrepreneurial spirit, diverse communities, and ever-evolving dining, shopping, and entertainment scenes. From family-owned neighborhood staples to innovative new concepts, DFW offers something for everyone, and local pride runs deep across every city and suburb that makes up this vibrant region.

 

Now in its fifth edition, DFW Favorites continues to build on its strong foundation, with growth and engagement reaching new heights. Last year’s contest saw over 310,000 votes cast, a clear reflection of the pride, passion, and local knowledge that define the DFW community.​
