One trick on ratings is to sort by date. The most recent reviews are more likely to be reality, as opposed to the common bot-farm positive reviews. It still won’t help you identify if customers aren’t likely to leave reviews, however.
This is also generally good advice anyway, since a place can go from good to bad or bad to good over time. There is a gas station near me that has a pretty obvious point in which it went from pretty decent to utter shit, and it’s when the current owner took over.
