Here are the nominees for the 2019 Best New Restaurant Foodster Award. Because we did not have an award for 2020, eligibility has been expanded to restaurants that opened within the past two years. Foodster Awards are for independent restaurants with three or fewer locations; chains are not considered.

To vote for your favorite newcomer, check the box next to its name and then click the VOTE button. You may vote only once.

After you make your choice, leave a comment below telling us why you think your favorite should be recognized. Be sure to mention the name of the restaurant in your comment or we won’t know which one you’re commenting on – we can’t see who you voted for back here.

Voting will continue through Dec. 23. The winners will be announced on Dec. 29.

Here are the nominees:
