About Ohio Valley Hometown Guru

Welcome to Ohio Valley Hometown Guru, a companion site to the Best of the Ohio Valley Readers' Choice Awards.

Each year in Best of the Ohio Valley, we ask the public to nominate, and then vote for, their favorite businesses, businesspeople, events and attractions in and around the Ohio Valley.

On Ohio Valley Hometown Guru, you’ll find the winners, finalists and top-five vote-getters from the contest, so when you’re looking for the best burger, the right dentist for you, a good plumber and more, you’ve got solid recommendations from folks in the know.

How do I know where a business placed in Best of the Ohio Valley Readers' Choice Awards?

When you’re viewing a business, note the gold, grey and white tags above its name that show where it finished—winner, finalist or top 5—and in which year. If a business that won in prior years has since closed, there will be a red “closed” tag above it. We’ve retained those businesses to honor their victories.

See something wrong with a business's information?

We do our best to stay on top of changes as businesses move and expand, but as most humans do, we sometimes miss things. Want to suggest a correction or an edit to a business' information? Simply click on the business name, then click Suggest An Edit on the top right above its name, where you can fill out and submit a form with your feedback.

Have a general question or feedback not related to a specific business?
