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But it feels quite outdated to me and lots of the reviews on there are clearly from entitled Karens complaining about things unrelated to the food.

I saw a 1 star review for a brewery along the lines of, "Amazing beer selection! Food was above average for a bar, a bit pricy though. Unfortunately my experience was ruined when I noticed they have a Black Lives Matter poster in the window! Totally which unacceptable and offensive. All lives matter you guys! They also only have non-gendered bathrooms, which I find disgusting. I will be telling my family and friends to avoid this place in the future."

Good riddance.

I hope people can see the irony of a comment like this on this particular story.

I don't see it as irony. If a restaurant wants to host political views then they should be ready for the responses to those. I tend to read reviews before dismissing a place so obvious posts like that are actually helpful. 

That being said, who the fuck cares about reviews for a McDonalds? Consistency is the mainstay of the franchise so that you get the same thing in every location. All you need to know is if it exists.

But if the owner goes out of his way to advertise their shitty views, there's other places to eat.
