Sadly, OpenStreetMap is weakest in POI coverage.
In typical area Google has simply much better data - and that is before interface optimised for selling ads about POIs and therefore displaying POIs quite well.
I map a lot in OSM, and POIs in my city are still light years behind Gmaps. And even with StreetComplete (an Android app that I recommend) that made adding and resurveying opening hours data easier, this info is often missing/outdated :/
