Restaurants carry the largest median of the six trades on this page, 474 Google reviews per business across the 20 we read, with the three most-reviewed listings at 4027, 3443 and 1280. The restaurants answering the most of their recent reviews are B-52 Burgers & Brew Inver Grove Heights, at 2 of its last 10 against a file of 4027 reviews, and Lakewood Tavern, at 2 of its last 10 with 1227.
Among the bars, two of the businesses answering the most are Blvd Tavern, which answered 8 of its last 10 and shows 1614 reviews, and Jersey's Bar & Grill, at 8 of its last 10 with 1333. The median review count across those 20 bars is 355.5 and the median rating 4.45; for restaurants the median rating is 4.65. A median is one figure for a whole trade, and it does not tell you which listing is which.

Park Cafe answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 821 reviews; Cahill Diner answered 10 of its last 10 with 809. Amore Coffee, with 1095 reviews, answered 1 of its last 10. Among bakeries, La Boulangerie Marguerite answered 10 of its last 10 with 442 reviews, and Trung Nam French Bakery answered 1 of its last 10 with 769.

What to do about it
The two kinds of number here come from two different places. The reply counts are drawn from each business's most recent reviews. The review totals beside them, 4027 or 1095 or 442, are the whole listing. That gap is worth understanding before you look at your own page, because it sets the size of the job. Park Cafe answered 10 of its last 10, and that is ten replies, not 821.
So if your file runs to hundreds, you are not behind by hundreds. Start at the newest review and work backwards, and answer the straightforward ones as well as the difficult ones. Write each reply yourself, in the words you would use across the counter, rather than from a stock line: a reply that would fit under any listing in this catchment is one that reads that way. Catching up once is a fixed amount of work. Staying caught up is the part that is different.
