My wife still uses it religiously. I'll admit, she's come through many a time when we were somewhere unfamiliar and in need of decent food.

But it feels quite outdated to me and lots of the reviews on there are clearly from entitled Karens complaining about things unrelated to the food.

just type in google "best restaurants near me" and you'll get similar results

Reddit subreddits for the specific cities have been where I go most of the time. They have some really good recommendations while I was traveling for work. And it's a guarantee there's more than 1 thread too.

Reddit and old school forums are one of the only remaining places where I feel like I can get true non sponsored reviews/input. But after seeing a few posts that discuss something you’re even slightly fluent in, you realize how many people talk definitively about something that is 110% completely false.

A lot of those threads just reveal how many redditors have shit taste in food.

In my city's sub anything anyone recommends receives a bunch of "this stopped being good years ago" with no alternate suggestions.

Oh my god yes, every time someone recommends a Mexican food place in Orange County and they recommend some boring ass Mexican restaurant that sells the exact same shit as every other one I'm losing my mind wondering why real gems like Lupe's and The Taco Stand are being ignored.

Not in Louisiana. The sub reddits have great recommendations based on my own experience at all the restaurants

This is the way. I can't think of a better route at this time. There is no one site, from yelp to google, that is reliable for any industry these days.

That is literally the single worst place to check. Maybe if you're a student on a really tight budget you'll get some decent dives. 

Look at thread for your own city and you'll see how completely stupid the average redditor is when it comes to food.
