What BBN said on air

Kenji MoonfieldA viewer on bbn. live asks how Red Lobster rates on restaurant sites. And the answer is, it depends which app you open.

Kenji MoonfieldPissed Consumer has it at two point one out of five from four hundred eighty-six reviews.

Kenji MoonfieldComplaints Board says one point two, from eight reviews and four hundred thirty-one complaints.

Vera BullockFour hundred thirty-one people came back to talk about it. That's a deeply engaged community.

Kenji MoonfieldIt's a site called Complaints Board, Vera. Nobody goes there to say the biscuits were fine.

Kenji MoonfieldOn Yelp, Houston is a two point seven and Brooklyn a two point six.

Kenji MoonfieldBut Tripadvisor gives Orlando a four point four, from three thousand seven hundred seventy reviews.

Vera BullockThere it is. Orlando is the flagship experience, and everywhere else is a regional preview.

Kenji MoonfieldOrlando is tourists on vacation. Everything's a four point four when you just got off a roller coaster.

Vera BullockAnd one San Antonio diner gave it a two in June and said it's not what it used to be.

Vera BullockI'd call that a heritage brand.

Kenji MoonfieldReal verdict: there's no single score, these are user averages, and they swing wildly by site and location.

Vera BullockSo open Tripadvisor, set your location to Orlando, and order from Brooklyn. Ask yours at bbn. live.
