We've been to a nearby Persian restaurant about six times.  One time, on Mother's Day, the service was bad enough we resolved not to return, but we did a few months later give them another chance and the service was fine.  It gets VERY noisy at dinner, it's very popular.

There is another Persian place a block away that I prefer, we're going there in an hour for brunch.  It doesn't get nearly as busy, or noisy, and I prefer the food, my wife prefers the first place.

Anyway, I used to be kind of attuned to "rankings" and obviously these days I view them a bit askance.  I THINK any place in the top ten or so is going to be roughly as good as any of the others.

If you're saying there's no point to any ranking, well, I guess.

Except that it drives business, which is a good thing.

Except that it also sometimes creates super-long lines at previously undiscovered gems like Interstellar which is about 3 minutes down the road from my house and where I could always get good BBQ quickly and easily and now all the dirty unwashed huddled masses want to wait in 4-hour lines, which is a bad thing (for me).

So there you have it.  The rankings are pointless and/or good and/or bad.
