Last year, the New York Times looked at essential restaurants across the country, naming the Webster in Iowa City one of the best nationwide.

That place gets 3.5* out of 5 on Tripadvisor. But yeah, the New York Times.

Understandable.

tripadvisor and the Times do rankings to get clicks

I do not trust either of them

I don't get to Iowa City often, but I'd try the Webster and rate it myself.
Last time there with customers.... they suggested Jethro's BBQ
I wasn't impressed a tall

Trip Advisor has gotten to be useless (when new, it was at times useful if one was careful).  Everything gets about 4 stars on TA.  I've been in small towns where the local Pizza Hut was their highest ranked restaurant.

I don't know any rankings of anything I use for much any more unless I'm very unfamiliar with the area and want to get a rough general notion of what might be worth seeing or trying.

I find it useful to read the comments.

I've also dug in and checked on reviewers who give 1 or 2*, for kicks.

Most of them 1 or 2* every place they review.

Unhappy people.

I can soemtimes tell when a commenter is "real" and has useful suggestions or observations.  That's about it for me.

I know folks can have a poor experience anywhere when it's not the common event, and they are more motivated to review than someone who has a normal experience, which could be pretty good.

I am surprised CFA has such a large coverage (if they do).  Most popular could mean anything.

not many CFAs in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota

popular must not mean, most often

"Most popular" could be the result of some poll, or actual sales volume.  I think it has to be the former here.  And that is dubious.

The main reason I like CFA is their service.  I'm fine with the sammich and waffle fries, they get a bit pricey.  The service to me is excellent.  That said, I have not dined at one in two plus years.  My wife likes it, if we're driving somewhere it's high on our list for quick food options.
