<![CDATA[This study conducts a sentiment analysis of customer reviews for Ayam Betutu Khas Gilimanuk Cabang Tuban on TripAdvisor, a leading platform for culinary and tourism references, to assess consumer perceptions in the digital era. While prior research has explored online reviews in the restaurant industry, few focus on heritage culinary establishments, leaving a gap this study addresses by analysing 421 reviews (2012–2024) across variables such as rating, comment, and region. Using RStudio, the data underwent text preprocessing (tokenisation, case-folding, stopword removal), sentiment labelling (positive, neutral, negative), and lexicon-based analysis, supplemented by word clouds and temporal trend evaluation.

Theoretically, the study highlights that product quality alone cannot sustain positive sentiment without complementary service excellence, while practical implications offer actionable strategies for heritage restaurants and regional gastronomy development, bridging digital analytics with culinary heritage preservation.]]>
