2024 Best of Fremont

readers’ choice awards

The 2024 Best of Fremont, which comprises this special 20-page section, represents readers’ favorites for the city’s local businesses. There were well over 100 categories represented this year.

The 2024 Best of Fremont is a special adver-

tising project for the Fremont Argus newspaper.

The survey is not scientific and does not claim to be.

But it does reflect opinions of those Fremont residents who feel strongly about a business, place or person, and all votes that were legitimately fielded

were objectively analyzed and counted. Online voting runs from February to early.

When the Best of Fremont winner was closely followed by others, the honorable mentions were recognized with an Honor Award. The outright

winner is listed first, below the category header.

When two businesses tied for first place, both appear above the Honor Awards.

This list recognizes who the readers choose as their top businesses they frequent. It is also a good

guide for long time locals as well as newcomers and visitors to get acquainted with merchants recommended by our readers that feel strongly about local businesses in Fremont.

This special section is meant to be a yearlong staple in the Fremont house-

hold. Find us online as well at bestinfremont.com.

Thanks to all of the readers and advertisers who participated in the 2024 Best of Fremont Readers’ Choice Awards. Congratulations to all those businesses that were listed in our special section.

2024 BEST OF FREMONT VOTED BEST BBQ

Smoking Pig Fremont’s Smoking Pig BBQ is Back in the Saddle with Breakfast, Blues, and Brisket!

Get ready for some finger-lickin’ good news, Fremont! Smoking Pig BBQ is firing on all cylinders again, and owner Paul Reddick is smokin’ things up with a delicious new addition: Sunday breakfast. Starting at 9 am, you can now fuel your weekend adventures with brisket hash, great omelets, biscuits and gravy and all the standards. By the way, did we mention that coffee is free with breakfast? Why pay $4 a cup?

But that’s not all! Smoking Pig BBQ is famous for their award-winning barbecue, and they haven’t forgotten their roots. Expect the same mouthwatering pulled pork, falloff-the-bone ribs, and juicy brisket you’ve come to love. Pair your barbecue favorites with their classic sides and you’ve got a meal fit for a king (or queen) of the grill.

Speaking of classics, Smoking Pig BBQ is also bringing back the live music that made them a Fremont favorite. Get ready to tap your toes and sway to the soulful sounds of legendary bluesman Chris Cain, along with the electrifying stylings of Andre Thierry.

They’re bringing the good vibes back to Fremont, one delicious plate and toe-tapping tune at a time.

“We love Fremont and we’re so excited to be back to full service after the challenges of Covid,” says Paul Reddick. “We’ve missed serving our community and can’t wait to welcome everyone back, old friends and new, for some smokin’ good barbecue, delicious breakfasts, and awesome live music.”

So, whether you’re craving a hearty breakfast, a legendary BBQ feast, or a night of fantastic music, Smoking Pig BBQ has you covered. Head down to 3340 Mowry Avenue and rediscover the Fremont institution that’s smokin’ hot once again!

2024 BEST OF FREMONT VOTED BEST FUNERAL HOME:

Berge-Pappas-Smith Chapel of the Angels Meeting the Fremont community’s funeral needs is a difficult job. Berge Pappas Smith Chapel of the Angels sets themselves apart by honoring families and employees with respect, active listening, and a deep level of trust. The Smith family is now in its third generation of owning and operating the funeral home with the same compassion as they have since day one.

We have served the families of Fremont for over 110 years in business.

We donate our time and volunteer in countless Fremont organizations that provide beneficial services to the broad community - including multiple Rotary clubs, the Lions Club, Knights of Columbus, HERS foundational board, Chamber of Commers, and Washington Hospital Foundation to name a few.

Our extended staff provides free lunch and learns to families in hopes to educate and assist in planning for the future. While also presenting canned food drives, toy drives, and meals for hospital workers who continue to make an impact for the community. For the last 40 years we continue to host a remembrance service every holiday season for families to gather and remember their loved ones.

In recent post COVID years, we are proud to hold a First Responders BBQ with our firefighters, police, and service personnel. We take great pride remembering deceased individuals by assisting families to create beautiful memorials and custom celebrations that highlight lives well lived. Whether bringing a loved one home for the last time to celebrate life or personalizing a cremation for a family to witness, we always strive to meet a family’s need for a meaningful goodbye.

Through all of the growth in Fremont we continue to maintain small town values and treat every family with a personal touch. The Smith family has found that mutual respect and trust from our community has inspired us daily over so many years in business. Our set mission has always been and will continue to be, to serve, educate, and meet the ever-changing funeral needs of everyone within the greater Fremont area with the understanding that community is what has allowed us to be in this position.

VOTED BEST PRESCHOOL, BEST SUMMER CAMP, BEST DAYCARE, BEST PRIVATE SCHOOL, (WRITE-IN) BEST CHRISTIAN SCHOOL & HONORABLE MENTION FOR BEST MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Prince of Peace Christian School “God has called us together to do his work by connecting people to Jesus and his community so we can transform lives and impact the world. Toward that mission, Prince of Peace has made an impact not only in our Tri-City area but through the missions we support around the world since the church was officially incorporated and received as a member church of the Lutheran Church” – Missouri Synod in 1955.

Since its official incorporation and acceptance as a member church of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod in 1955, Prince of Peace has dedicated itself to the divine call of connecting individuals with Jesus and fostering a transformative community.

Through unwavering commitment, the church has not only impacted the Tri-City area but has extended its influence worldwide, supporting various missions.

Prince of Peace has flourished over the years, boasting an average Sunday worship attendance of 450 – 500 individuals. This growth is not merely numerical but encompasses the addition of small groups, Bible studies, community outreach endeavors, youth classes, and special events. The church’s impact extends far beyond its local congregation, with a notable presence in missions and schools in Cambodia and Guatemala.

Guided by a divine hand, Prince of Peace Christian School has served the Fremont, Newark, Union City, and Hayward areas since 1957. Nearly 500 children and families benefit from its provision of both academic excellence and Christian values. The school’s ethos centers on instilling in students a profound understanding of Jesus and God’s boundless

love. It is committed not only to academic achievement but also to nurturing holistic success in life.

Individualized attention and celebration of each student’s unique gifts and talents are at the heart of Prince of Peace Christian School’s approach. By cultivating a loving, nurturing environment alongside personal accountability, the school endeavors to educate the whole child. Every student is esteemed as a special creation of God, and their journey at the school is one of discovery, growth, and celebration of their individuality.
