Best of KC 2025

It’s that time of year again, where we ask you, our readers, to pick your favorites. 

From where to score the best martini to where to let Fido run free, we want to hear and learn from you.

Because you are the true insider.

Best of KC 2025, presented this year by GRID at Compass – Jonas Barrish, Real Estate Broker, is Kansas City magazine’s annual poll to recognize the best KC has to offer in more than 300 categories. It’s our way of celebrating the things that make Kansas City great and recognizing exceptional local small businesses. 

Nominations are now open through March 3. After the nomination round, the top entries head to the final voting round which will open March 10. And once again we’ll ask you to cast your ballot for your favorite in each category.
