This year's BEST EATS Restaurant Survey was our biggest ever—not just more categories, but more responses. Plano Profile readers by the hundreds went to our website to vote for their favorite eateries in and around Plano, filling in blanks in 33 categories and, for the first time this year, telling us about their favorite appetizers, cocktails, and desserts. We also gave readers the opportunity to create their own categories; we feature the four most popular write-ins here.

Newcomers like Mi Chula Good Mexican and One2One Restaurant and Bar have made a definite impression with local diners, while perennial favorites like Isabella's Italia and Poor Richard's Café made the final cut once again. There's no doubt from looking at the survey winners that there's plenty to choose from when it's time to eat in Collin County! Thanks to all our respondents, and a hearty congratulations to our winners. Happy dining!
