How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

AVOID THIS PLACE OVER AN HOUR WAIT FOR PIZZA!!! Never in my life have I waited over an hour for an expensive average pizza. The wait time is ridiculous, over an hour wait for 2 pizzas picked up. They said 40 minutes, came in after 40 minute...

Way too long waiting for our meals to come out. Generous servings. The American fries were tasty, but cold by the time they got to the table.

Good food however terrible management. Multiple times I have called on the weekend to make an order and been told it will be over an hour wait to make a basic burger. The business has been open long enough now that they should be competent enough to prepare a basic order in a timely manner.
