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 →

This location consistently gets orders wrong, burns the buns, and the patties are always dry. It's super busy so it takes a long time to get your food. I waited half an hour for a to go order of 3 burgers and they got it all wrong
3★ · 2025-10-31
I generally like this in n out but there have been many times they mess up orders so just double check your things. All the women who work here have been very accurate but for some reason the men taking orders either get it completely wrong...

Explained my order twice in the drive thru, repeated it once again at the window, still got it wrong.

Some customers complain that the french fries are occasionally cold, dry, hard, or inconsistent in quality.
