These ratings mean very little considering how an eatery can change very quickly depending on who is in charge at the time.
Absolutely agree wtih you, Jan
I also prefer eating-out by recommendations and my or my friends' experience. Don't trust those paper-pushes.
Also, used to look through ratings on popular sources like tripadvosor, yelp, etc. and read through visitors reviews.
P.S.: Former King's Kebab (now Dover Kebab) never had a reputation for a good meal and staff. So for me, it is not a surprise they advise to avoid it. In any case, I don't like fast food, never understood eating in 'snack-bars', prefer tasty home-cooked food and Italian cuisine, good restaurants and old-style pubs.
