Community recognition · Never purchasedWorth discovering. Worth celebrating.
This is a collection of positively rated food stops, not a best-to-worst ranking. Free and featured listings qualify by the same rules. Paid exposure cannot improve a community score.

HOW RECOGNITION WORKS
Earned through appreciation.
- At least 10 different opted-in passport accounts must rate a currently listed, source-reviewed food stop.
- Each account contributes one star rating per business. Changing a rating replaces its contribution; removing a visit removes it.
- Contributions become eligible seven days after opting in. Your existing ratings count too, if you choose to participate.
- Recognition requires a confidence-adjusted score of at least 4.2 out of 5. We add five baseline ratings of 4 stars to balance smaller samples: (total stars + 20) ÷ (number of ratings + 5). Cards show the actual average and count, not this adjusted score.
- All qualifying places appear in a rotating daily order. No paid ranking, negative labels, or public list of low scores.
Ratings reflect participating passport accounts, not a representative survey of everyone in Siouxland. Visits and purchases are not verified. One-account limits and a waiting period discourage simple manipulation but cannot eliminate fake accounts.
Recognition may change as ratings, consent and public listings change. Not appearing does not mean a place is poorly rated. Sponsored visibility remains separate.
