Our Ranking System for Reviews

We’re welcoming in 2013 by introducing our new ranking system for restaurant and booze reviews. As we want to continue to bring you great content, we thought it was necessary to clear up our product review system in order to give you a clear and consistent rankings for products that we think are worthy of recognition.

Our New Ranking System

We want to give you a unique ranking system that fits our brand, The Trot Line. For that reason, we are sticking to a fishing themed ranking system. Below, you will find our terms and how to compare them in layman’s terms.

Trophy – A Must Buy
It’s a Keeper – Extremely Good
Catch and Release – Fun, but not worth repeating
Throw It Back – Not worth your time or money

Our Philosophy

Our review philosophy is centered behind delivering positive information about products and businesses that we love. For the most part, you will not see negative reviews from The Trot Line. Our mission is to support small, Southern businesses that are delivering amazing products; not to slam the ones who are missing the mark. We believe that this positive, straight forward approach to product/business reviews is the best way to lift up those who deserve to be noticed. If you have any questions or concerns about our ranking system, or how we feature businesses, please feel free to candidly contact us. We are always happy to hear from our faithful readers.

With our most humble thanks,

The Trot Line Family
