Food & drink in St. Louis Park, MN

We read 120 businesses across 6 trades — the businesses someone searching in St. Louis Park, MN is shown — and recorded what their Google reviews look like.

Among the 20 coffee shops we read, the two businesses answering the most of their recent reviews are Honey & Rye, at 3 of its last 10, and Angel Food Bakery & Coffee Bar, at 2 of its last 10. Those are the top of that list, not the bottom of it. Among the 20 cafes we read, the business answering the most is Hold The Wheat, at 1 of its last 10, on a listing holding 466 reviews. Separately, across the 55 businesses we measured in the set someone searching in St. Louis Park is shown, a typical one answered 60% of its recent reviews.

The files underneath are deep. The 20 restaurants we read carry a median of 1023 Google reviews each, and the three most-reviewed hold 4629, 3356 and 3126. The 20 bars we read sit at a median of 937.5, with the largest listing at 12019. Reply counts on that scale are still counted ten at a time, because they are drawn from each business's most recent reviews. The Block Food & Drink - St. Louis Park answered 10 of its last 10, on a listing of 2488 reviews. Punch Bowl Social answered 10 of its last 10, on 2810. Bunny's Bar & Grill answered 6 of its last 10; its listing holds 3723.

Bakeries read at a median of 553 reviews. Isles Bun & Coffee answered 7 of its last 10 and holds 1901 reviews. Perkins Restaurant & Bakery holds 1808 reviews and answered 1 of its last 10. Depth swings hard across this group of 120: food trucks come in at a median of 37.5 reviews against 145 for cafes and 205 for coffee shops, yet the biggest food truck listing we read holds 1564. Bad Rooster Food Truck answered 3 of its last 10, on 439 reviews; Taco Taxi answered 1 of its last 10, on 1199.

Median ratings run 4.65 for restaurants, 4.7 for bars and bakeries, 4.75 for coffee shops and 4.8 for cafes and food trucks. A median is one figure for a whole trade, and it does not tell you which listing is which.

What to do about it

A median of 1023 reviews in restaurants, or 937.5 in bars, means nobody is going to answer the whole file, and nothing here asks you to. The counts on this page come from each business's most recent reviews, ten of them, so the useful unit of work is small: open the listing, start at the newest, and write something under each one until you run out of recent ones. That is an hour, not a project.

The harder part is the second week. Catching up once moves a count from 1 of 10 to 10 of 10 and then lets it slide back as new reviews arrive, so pick a fixed slot — Monday morning, end of shift Friday — and treat it the way you treat ordering stock. Write the replies yourself, in the voice you use across the counter, and answer the good ones as well as the difficult ones. A reply that names the dish someone mentioned reads as a person; a line reused word for word does not.
