Best of Pullman 2025 lists winners in 25 food and drink categories on thebestofpullman.com.

The site's About page, checked October 21, 2026, says Best of Pullman is a group of locals who intentionally do not reveal their identity. It says the awards are that group's opinions and that the program does not claim to be voted on by the public. A Methodology graphic on the page shows four segments: word-of-mouth testimonials, online reviews, secret shopping, and large language artificial intelligence. The page also says businesses cannot pay to sponsor or advertise. The winners page shows 2025 in its title but gives no award date.
