Interesting. I started using Yelp specifically because Google's results are awful especially around the DC area.

Grade inflation is prevalent on every platform except yelp, at least from my experience. I haven't seen any formal research on it and would love to see something confirming or refuting my hunch, but my experience has consistently held that Yelp reviewers are picky almost to a fault--useful when deciding whether I want a solid experience vs. an exceptional one.



Which platform is better varies by city, I've found.


Someone should make a meta-service which searches different review sites depending on where you're searching and what you're looking for.
