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 →

I ordered a double-double, French fries, and a Coke. I was given a number and called a few minutes later to receive my order. The vegetables were fresh, and the meat and bread paired well with the sauce. It was delicious. The portions were...

It’s a shame we don’t have In-N-Out in Chicago, because I would eat there every single week. It’s a fast-food chain with a homemade taste, fresh ingredients, and a level of quality that really stands out. In my opinion, it’s definitely the...

In-N-Out Burger is great, but it's always so crowded that parking is always difficult and the drive-thru can be a bit time-consuming. On the other hand, other places in LA Downtown are so far away that this is the only place worth going. Be...

To be clear, they named their franchise wrong. It should be something like In-N-Wait-Wait-&-Wait-Some-More! Waited 30min to and another 25min to pick the order up. Not good numbers for a fast-food burger-n-fries joint. Phewww! The saving...
Disappointing Fries
Reviewers report that the french fries are frequently dry, soggy, or unappealing.

It was so crowded that the line stretched all the way outside. There's seating inside and outside, and the turnover is fast, so we got in faster than expected. The staff member was very tactful when taking our order. I didn't say anything,...

The diner that has established itself as the largest and best fast-food chain in California truly lives up to the love Californians have for it. With a simple proposition—just three sandwiches on the menu—it delivers something increasingly...

The same quality and delicious burgers we all know and love. It's in a very convenient location, right on Hollywood Boulevard, and that's part of its charm… and also its biggest problem. The place is usually extremely crowded, finding a tab...

The burgers were fresh and juicy, especially the Double-Double. Fries were hot and crispy, and the staff was friendly. The place was clean but a bit crowded during peak hours. Overall, great value for money and fast service.♥️♥️
