Ehhhhh maybe not for local restaurants, but I think Yelp is a lot of people's go-to source for finding restaurants when visiting a new location.

Yelp is the default restaurant rating display in Apple Maps. Between that and Google Maps, a lot of people are going to see those ratings and it does have some impact even if people don't trust them absolutely — otherwise businesses wouldn't feel that they needed to pay Yelp to hide bad reviews.

I search on Yelp when looking for a restaurant to go to. I’m more likely to go to places that show up higher in the search ranking, and the rating seems to be a big component of that.

Other the other hand, I don’t actually read the reviews at all. I do sometimes look at the user-uploaded photos.

I care about Yelp. It is still the best place to find businesses and restaurants. It is an app I rarely think about, yet use it almost everyday.

I just don’t give a fuck about Yelpers.

They won't let you see much without the app. I've never been back.

I have the app because I’d rather be a first class citizen.
