Few Doors Down compared 103 food and drink businesses in Maitland, NSW, with 28,137 Google reviews between them. Of these, 92 meet this list's method. The median rating is 4.5 from a median of 115 reviews.
Of the food and drink businesses compared, the most reviewed is The Bradford Hotel, with 1,860 Google reviews at 4.3.
How this list is ranked
Businesses are ranked as in the fairly rated method, but only those whose name and website each appear in no more than two places in Australia are listed, so chains and franchises are left out. Each needs at least five Google reviews.
A business that shares its name with unrelated businesses elsewhere can be left out by mistake, and being part of a chain says nothing about quality.
