About our ranking system
We measure every restaurant on the food, service, and atmosphere, using a 5-star scale (where 5 is the best). We also look at a few other criteria which might seem a bit surprising, but in fact tell us a lot about how much a restaurant really cares about its customers:
- The “Iced Tea Test” — does the restaurant take the time to brew real iced tea, or do they cheap out with fake syrup-based “tea” from a soda machine? If they brew it, is it fresh, or has it been sitting around a few days? Did they brew the tea on the same machine they brew their coffee without cleaning in between? Our lead reviewer, Jim, is an avid iced tea drinker who can detect all of these things pretty much instantly. While it might seem silly, this one thing can tell you a lot about how much the management and/or employees care… and by extension, how well (or not) the kitchen is run.
- Accepts all major forms of payment — does the restaurant respect their customers by accepting all common forms of payment? We define this as accepting cash, as well as all cards with Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover logos. If a restaurant doesn’t accept, for example, American Express, that tells us they’re more concerned about saving a few pennies than making their customers happy. If a restaurant doesn’t accept cards at all, they are either VERY old school, or, more likely, cutting corners to save costs. If a restaurant doesn’t accept cash, then we know their management is either totally crazy or totally stupid!
- No credit card fee — does the restaurant charge a fee for paying with card? This is a HUGE red flag as to the thinking of their management — it means they don’t understand which things are THEIR problems to deal with, and will instead try to pass them off to the customers. Credit card fees are just a cost of doing business, and most businesses already factor this in. It’s not the customer’s fault for wanting to pay with a common, everyday payment method. Plus, who likes being nickel and dimed?
