Manipulation score
CleanCompleted Jul 19, 2026 · 49 reviews flagged
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 →

Went to pick up a catering order from here. Met with Bob Betke. Claimed he was the catering manager. Bob gave me the creeps. He kept messing with my young son. He was making both of us uncomfortable. Kept asking my son if he liked dogs. So very weird. This man needs to go. We will not be back.
