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.

When I first came here about 4 months ago I loved it. Since then they under went a renovation and full change on the way they serve. There’s a fixed menu after 5pm. I was pretty bummed cause I wasn’t feeling any of the options they gave. An...

“Historical since 1939”, so what do we do? Go ahead and ruin everything that made this place the down-to-earth diner that it has been for decades. This place has BEEN our diner for a long time. Abysmally disappointed with how the new owners...

Reviewers note that the music can be excessively loud with heavy bass, creating a club-like environment that hinders conversation.

DO NOT GO TO “CH STEAKHOUSE” in North Bergen, New Jersey. I was enjoying the ambience and the company until I realized it was 2 hours and we didn’t get served a glass of water. Then someone came with a glass of wine. After 40 mins we place...

Came here for brunch on the Friday before a holiday in a small group and we were the only people in the entire restaurant. Maybe that should have been a sign - we just figured it would start getting busy soon. From the start, they were out...
Good for
- Steak dinners and upscale casual dining
- Group celebrations and private events
- Brunch and cocktails in a modernized setting
Avoid if
- You are looking for a traditional, budget-friendly 24-hour diner
- You prefer a quiet environment without loud lounge music
- You want a vast classic diner breakfast menu at old prices
Recent pattern — New management recently took over, completely renovating the interior into an upscale steakhouse and lounge, reducing the menu, dropping 24-hour service, and raising prices, which has divided regular patrons.
