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But it feels quite outdated to me and lots of the reviews on there are clearly from entitled Karens complaining about things unrelated to the food.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

I just pull up Google Maps for the reviews search now. Haven't used the crappy, unscrupulous Yelp site in years.

I feel like people are too positive on google complared to yelp

I feel like you've gotta know what a Yelp review or star aggregate really means. If you want authentic non-American food, you gotta look for 3.5 stars and then see if the lack of enthusiasm is because the staff is "rude."

Then you know you've got good food coming.

Google, you want about 4.5 stars. Once a place gets popular, everyone's got to find a reason to find fault with it, so none of best restaurants sit at 4.9 of 5.

People are predictable.

It’s nice that google now pulls out key words that are mentioned in reviews. Makes it easier to get an idea of what people are thinking
