Frequently Asked Questions

How are these restaurants ranked?

Rankings are based on how often each restaurant appears in AI-generated responses across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. The more platforms that mention a business, the higher it ranks. This is not an editorial ranking — it reflects real AI output.

What does "mentioned by X out of 4 platforms" mean?

It means the business was named in X of the 4 AI platforms we queried. For example, "mentioned by 2 out of 4" means two platforms independently recommended that business when asked the same question.

Which AI platforms are included in this ranking?

We query four AI platforms for every page: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. Each platform receives the same prompt and is analyzed independently.

Are any of these placements sponsored or paid?

No. There are no sponsored placements anywhere on this page. Rankings are determined entirely by the output of the AI platforms we query.

What does it mean when a business is mentioned by multiple AI platforms?

It means the same business was independently named by more than one AI platform when asked the same question. Cross-platform agreement is the strongest signal we use when assembling the ranking.

Does this page recommend or endorse any of these restaurants?

No. The page reports which businesses AI platforms mention in response to a specific question. It does not constitute an endorsement, verification, or recommendation by us.
