I loathe these listicle-type non-articles. Over and over again, such food listlets are generated by a poorly paid (or unpaid) writer who hasn't been to any of the places mentioned. The copy is vapid, the included restaurants randomly chosen or identified by an analysis of most-frequently-mentioned places. It's non-content, more about generating links & traffic than about information.

They've sort of become their own kind of cliche. Just a useless scattershot of mostly nothingness. No reason to even discuss them any more, really. None of the places are bad, but anything noteworthy on any of them have been discussed here ad nauseam.

Not picturing the actual Shrimp Buster for Herby K's pretty much says it all.

and this website is littered with them in the ad sections. seems like half the page on mobile is a click ad for some stupid top 20 list where they specifically say #12 will make your penis fall off or something like that.
