Amherst Patch is featuring a tournament to determine which small business can be called "the tops" here in the town.

America likes to get its food fast.

It is always nice to sit down at a restaurant once in a while, but sometimes it is just as good to stop for a quick bite. Just a fast in-and-out to get something delicious right then and there.

Nothing makes a busy day better than grabbing a slice of pizza or chowing down on a well-crafted sandwich before heading back to work. In fact, it is sometimes the one good part of the day.

We want to know which spot in Amherst is the best to stop in and grab a great meal. Let us know which one gets your vote and your favorite thing about it.

Vote in our poll and comment below on which one you think is the best of the best in Amherst. Voting ends on Friday at 9 a.m., before the winner is announced in the afternoon.

Passionate voters can add an extra vote by commenting about their favorite business below, which will be added to the final count. Also, feel free to click on the link for each business to rate it and leave a review to show even more love.
