How this was ranked
Ranked by a Bayesian average of public Google ratings rather than raw star rating. Each business is weighted toward the 4.3 local average until it has 25 reviews, so a perfect score from a handful of reviews does not outrank a record built over hundreds. Businesses with fewer than 5 reviews are not ranked. This list covers the 8 businesses in this category and city that Rviewo tracks. It is not an exhaustive survey of the local market. Ratings and review counts are public Google data, shown as facts rather than as our own assessment.
