The Insider Score is our own 10-point editorial rating, set by the writer who covers the room. It is never an average of other sites’ stars, and it is never for sale. It weighs three things:
01Track record
How highly a kitchen rates, across how many diners, over how long.
02Consistency
Whether recent diners still agree with the long-term verdict.
03Distinction
What the kitchen does that its category does not.
Helen's Hot Chicken earns a 6.1, solid on our scale for Southern in Nashville.
