No lawyer but demonstrating that "only an idiot blames the company cooking the food when the independently-contracted delivery guy is too slow" seems quite challenging, people leave reviews for all kinds of random, unrelated reasons.

I would never make a bet on peoples inability to be idiots.

Especially so when the independently contracted delivery guy impersonates the restaurant. A reasonable person will assume that the website restaurant-xyz.com connects them to the restaurant xyz and if they place an order, they are placing an order with that restaurant, not an independent contractor.
