people that YELP are scumbags

steve shasta is a yelper

Yelp is OK, but Consumer Reports is more scholarly.

chaki,

sorry dude, i will try to find better information about pawnshops for you.

steve shasta

haw!

you arnt a scumbag steve. your yelps are like punk rock.

has anyone ever accused ss of being pedantic

only times he gets sort of pedantic is when discussing japanese food and denim pants at which point most of the people who would accuse him of being pedantic TLDR and move on?

like when nabisco talks about the huxtables or gabbneb is discussing road trip tour routes across america maybe

Did you see the thread on the noise board about how to romanize yamasucka augh?

YELP like little dogs or YELP like college girls who haven't seen each other for 6 months?

yelp.com you moran

It's not the yelping itself, it's the method of yelping

People who one-star yelp about something just because they hate the people that frequent there or just think the retail idea is like bogus man are the lowest on the scumpole.

they might as well fuck off to that new site where people talk shit about their neighbors. (not ilx)

wtf is yelp when it's at home?

yelp blows

i'm going to yelp this thread

Can someone summarise what yelp is? Use a series of gifs if it's easier.

Actually, don't bother, I just looked.

Man, fuck web 2.0!

Yelp is still the best place to meet cougars.

i've yelped.

Is Yelp outside of SF now?

You know what's annoying? Having people at a business plead with you to say something nice on yelp. "But that would require me to actually log in there!"

SF is not the world

it's rapidly growing in NYC.

SF is not the world

This cannot be stated often enough

it's big in l.a.

I guess there are Yelps for other cities.

Anyway there are a lot of jerks on Yelp in SF.

i've yelped, but find most of the people on there obnoxious.
just like the internet as a whole! and the real world!

www.burritophile.com > www.yelp.com

Yelp has been in Chicago for a while now, but it's only within the last few months that it routinely shows up among the top 5 Google results of any restaurant or retail establishment.

Yeah every time I watch Check Please! Bay Area I am reminded of how many assholes there are. It makes me very glad I have a job where I don't deal with the general public.

Who are these people who spend all their free time going to restaurants they have mediocre opinions of?

Also I def think you can meet girls/cougars on yelp

I am really curious to see Bay Area version of Check Please! What is the host like?

the yelp message boards are awful

"I am really curious to see Bay Area version of Check Please! What is the host like?"

Annoying. You can download free video Podcasts if you want.

I find the nyc restaurant/bar reviews useful but you have to filter out all the people who give one-star write-ups to williamsburg bars and restaurants that just say "full of hipsters!!#%@$!"

even with all that type of junk there seems to be more "real people" honest reviews and less shills than on places like citysearch

n.b. I've never reviewed anything just read em

i love the obviously planted and/or spam reviews on freew1ll1amsburg

Almost all the reviews of restaurants here are submitted by travelling Californiaites!

Honey 1 BBQ is like the only legit north side barbecue spot and the reviews of it on yelp are infuriating

This place totally sucks. I have eatten BBQ Everywhere in this country and this is seriously as bad as Orlando FL suburb mall BBQ.

I went with a friend, who granted is a chef. We both ordered pulled-pork sandwiches. We were the only people in this entire place and it took at least 35 minutes to get our food. A child, seriously like 12 years old brought it out. Why is my pulled pork wrapped with fries on top in a piece of wax paper? Why is it about 5 inches wide? For that matter, why is it just cooked pork, with a squirt of BBQ sauce on top?

Gross.

These two TINY sandwiches and soda cost almost 25 bucks?!?

Do yourself a favor and walk seriously, 3 blocks down to Fat Willy's which is awesome. Or even head or to Calvin's a few blocks over on Armitage.

love a good taco restaurant

pages of derek t goodness. his review of my old safeway is lol

could rly taste the emotion of the ocean... theres plenty of fish in the sea but there WONT be after i eat them all in taco format :P

o captain my captain

derek stopped posting reviews in 2013, hope he's ok

he's ok. wish I could say the same for his computer. he installed Odell Lake and reformatted his hard drive to taco.

first ilx mention of Odell Lake?

ilx is Odell Lake:
you are a Doctor Casino
you see a random googler ahead

hooked by an angler, every time

Liked this review of a local Asian market. Was originally structuring this post around a review that mentioned a sketchy exterior, a fishy smell, and products in a foreign language (shocker!), but then read the review above and wanted to recognize an anti-scumbag. Informative, pleasant, well-written, and thorough.

Unlike a lot of things, personally, the 1 in 10 Yelpers who write a decent review successfully offset the other 9 who fixate on some personal slight or bias.

Tikis On The Ave, 210 S Wenatchee Ave, Wenatchee, WA 98801

This place is unfriendly and fosters an unsafe environment. My husband went into the restroom only to notice several men snorting cocaine.

Ma’am.

...and they would not give him any
ZERO STARS

Stopped by this restaurant yesterday when I was in BK. I tried to get in a few years back but it was crowded, late and I didn't have a reservation so I thought I would try again.
It was packed again; which is good sign that the food and drinks are still good.
But I'm sorry to say...I didn't get to try it.
We waited at the hostess stand for about 5 mins. The hostess only came in our direction when a gentleman come up behind us. Not sure if he worked there or not. But he walked passed us.
He then turned and said she is seating you.
Instead of the hostess using her big girl words like, "hello, right this way, Table for 2" she waved her hand in a gesture to follow her. Which I found to be very rude and uninviting. There were two tables in the front, one in the window the other near the bar. Instead she wanted to place us in the back in a crowded area squeezed in between to couples.
I asked the gentleman for another table, like perhaps the one in the window, he relayed the message to her. She looked confused and annoyed that I was asking if the other table was available. Mind you in directly in front of her.
If getting a table was going to be this bad I didn't want to see what else was in store.
We left...

opening your own restaurant inside of an operating burger king is a bit rude

instant classic

i was very pleased a couple weeks ago to read like every yelp review to a very expensive and famous restaurant in my neighborhood. multiple people complained that they saw cockroaches or mice in the dining room. lol.

Instead of the hostess using her big girl words like, "hello, right this way, Table for 2

Machines should also do waiter work imo! it will embiggen their silicon souls.

every ai must spend a virtual human lifetime working at a simulated dairy queen next to a simulated used car lot

i worked at a dairy queen in my high school years (next to a used car lot!); there's no need to be that inhumane.

one of my coworkers was a frazzled nam vet with one arm and he would have me help him peel the american cheese slices out of their plastic sheaths and then we would stack them into star-shaped towers.

we are the same person, i think

common rite of puberty in north america iirc

The soup was too spicy, the chairs are uncomfortable and tables are narrow. But the cranberry margarita was very yummy

YELP are scumbags

i don't know what the best thread for this would be, but i was reading about local sausagemakers and i ran across a gem of a review - on Google, not Yelp. it was by someone who knows enough about writing to put in a first sentence that grabs the reader, in this case:

"As I’m picking bullet fragments out of my teeth, not for the first time, from the deer sausage I didn’t want, I thought I would post this review."

that's exceptionally good writing for an internet review of a local german butcher, and i appreciate it.

His voice is gentle, and he speaks with a subtle posh British accent. He tells me he's from Oxford, England,

That guy singlehandedly balances out all the scumbags in this thread put together

The addas (red lentil soup) is pureed and that is not necessarily the most common way it is prepared in the Middle East, and the menu doesn't mention that it is pureed. It was more like a broth and not all that flavorful.

From a non-middle-eastern reviewer

From local strip club review:

"1 of the girls farted on me I left instantly omg never again. I came to visit and all my friends told me to check that strip club it's 1 of the best . He got me good"

Should have to pay extra for that

I searched google today for bars that are open in the morning (take this as the given, don't judge me)

First two results were from yelp, with phrases that would seem to match my query exactly.

But, because I wasn't born yesterday, I knew not to even click those links, because I'd get a long list of bars that in fact do not have morning hours. I'm sure you know what I mean.

How is this allowed to happen? It'd be one thing if google owned yelp

"Typical, in many ways, of a mainstream hotel restaurant. Caramelized apple salad had apples which were not caramelized, but sautéed. Sweet potato fried were the best I think I've ever had, but they were finished with so much salt I had to scrape off each one before eating. The menu looks promising, but the chef is unskilled, or lazy. A friendly dining room manager exercised no quality control of food coming out of the kitchen. The bartender who served me was attentive, but presented as troubled, or sad."

troubled by a major league baseball career that didn't work out

caramelized... a word that may not mean what this yelper thinks it means

big lols at "presented as troubled, or sad."

The words "exercised" and "presented" are both deployed really precisely in this review

You don't really see a sunset over the harbor. It just gets darker.

^^^ somehow, one of the best things anyone ever copied from the internet and pasted onto ilx

Now, when a business gains attention for reports of racist conduct, Yelp will place a new Business Accused of Racist Behavior Alert on their Yelp page to inform users, along with a link to a news article where they can learn more. https://t.co/1K2bJ46uM8
