WHAT WE DO


We give you honest-to-goodness reviews about food, entertainment, services, and all kinds of products you’ll find here in Dallas. All of our content is contextualized to suit you and your needs and comes from real Texans.

Basically, we’re your go-to place for the best of what Dallas has to offer. We’re a one-stop-shop for all kinds of service suggestions you might need, whether as a local or a tourist in the city.

THE DBEST TEAM

Come and meet our staff:


Erica Tan

Jackson Williams

Contributing Editor

Jackson has years of travel under his belt as a freelance journalist and photographer, but is fond of saying that he’s always relieved to be back in Dallas. Recently, he decided to settle down in his home city and joined our team as a contributing editor. When he’s not helping to steer our staff to the best stories and businesses, he’s usually with his family singing along to Willie Nelson.

Liam Wiley

Staff Writer

Liam is the staff member we usually bring along whenever one of us is reviewing something in the construction or installation industries. This is because Liam himself co-owns a hardware supply store and has been dealing with people in these industries his whole life. His interests go far beyond hardware, however, as he’s also a self-avowed gourmand, with a particular relish for all things battered and fried.

Olivia Wilkinson

Staff Writer

Olivia is an alumna of the Constantin College of Liberal Arts in the University of Dallas. While she does graphic design at a marketing agency, she also writes reviews for us, being a confessed bargain hunter. When she’s not at work, she can often be found at the latest exhibits at the Dallas Museum of Art.

Ben North

Staff Writer

Ben’s great loves in life are writing, his pets, and the Dallas Mavericks. He often says that joining our team allowed him to indulge in the first while also giving him more time to enjoy the latter two. He’s currently taking classes at the University of Texas at Dallas for his Masters in Management Science.

Allie James

Staff Writer

Allie is our barbecue expert and holds the best barbecue parties this side of the city. She often has the team over for brainstorming sessions about the next things we should cover. Away from DBest, she’s usually with her husband doing some bass fishing at one of the nearby lakes.

How do we make our reviews?


Reviewing starts with research. We often try out the services of the businesses we review, aside from polling other customers to check experience consistency and quality. Whenever we test services, we also do it incognito, to ensure businesses don’t give us special treatment.

Only after gathering sufficient data on all of our top choices do we compile our lists. We’re called DBest for a reason, so only the very best choices make the cut.

How do we make money?


We’re a reader-supported publication, so we may earn commissions when you buy things through our site or on pages you visited after clicking on a link through our site.

This does not mean we promote services we would consider bad-value. We don’t sell reviews and never recommend a business if we wouldn’t buy from it ourselves.
