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 →

Portions are huge! Very good food and clean atmosphere. My husband got the hot honey chicken sandwich and it didn't disappoint. You definitely get your money's worth. They do add in 18% service charge into your bill.

Food is good …but the worst service ever, Had to wait 20 minutes for somebody to sit me down and take my order after that nobody came in not even wants to ask me if I need anything and then had to wait another 25 minutes for the check
High Prices and Value
Several reviewers note that the food and drinks are quite expensive, even when factoring in the large portion sizes and location.

Breakfast for 2 should not cost $110. Champagne was not involved. $10 for a glass of apple juice. Prices are cheaper on Ocean drive. Food is ordinary. THE BIG PINK IS A BIG RIPOFF!!!

Very good, we loved it. There was a very nice waitress named Mariana who spoke Spanish and English (she was from Argentina) like us, and my children spoke to her.
