I've moved twice in the past four years and I have gone to yelp for food recommendations a few times -- totally useless, sadly. Always wants me to go to Papa Johns or some other chain. The days of interesting food discovery via yelp are over. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
- M_Grey 10y agoIt's still moderately useful, if you know how to read for bullshit reviews and the usual disturbed people, as a way to find out if the place you're thinking of getting food from is alright.
- beamatronic 10y agoI don't know if anyone remembers the old days of Yelp ( talking 2006-2007-ish ). It was a fun community to be a part of. As a reviewer you had a great feeling like you were appreciated. There were community organizers setting up get-togethers at bars, sending swag to you in the mail, and earning stars and badges. It's really too bad they threw that all away.
- frandroid 10y agoThat's why I use Foursquare.
- buckhx 10y agoMy thoughts on Yelp is that you are getting the average recommendation instead of exceptional ones because of the law of large numbers.
- hsod 10y agoI use Yelp all the time when I'm in a part of the city I don't know well. I mostly ignore the star rating and just look at the pictures and skim individual reviews for relevant info. Works great for that purpose.
