Lately I’ve noticed Google Maps had better images. Not sure if they scrape some of them but they didn’t overlap with Yelp. Google Maps reviews also tend to be more positive.

The two bad things I noticed were fake guides and a few bogus sounding comments.

I've noticed Google Maps tends to have more recent reviews as well compared to yelp and newer restaurant information is updated faster.

Really wish they'd make it easy to show images of menus in restaurants. I usually use Yelp for easily viewing photos of different aspects from interior/exterior to menu, etc.
