people that YELP are scumbags

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.

there are 3 five-star reviews for Ippudo Ramen in NYC. It hasn't opened yet.

ha, from a YELP review of a gigantic local bookstore written by an ilxor!:

Some weird things about JB:
1. The (men's) bathroom. The urinals aren't private at all. I used to get the creeps there when I was younger.
2. They put Jeff Buckley in the folk section.
3. I stole a dungeons and dragons book from there once. I think they need better security.

OTM!

I'm doing a BBQ tour of Chicago right now. So far we've done Fat Willy's (excellent), Smoque (also excellent), Merle's in Evanston (good), and Honey 1 (so-so.) Honey 1 is at the bottom of the pack because, unlike pretty much every other place on here, it didn't really leave us blown away. It was good, but not great 'cue. We really liked the family running the place, though. They were really friendly and helpful. The place seemed to be doing well too. Their dining room was pretty full at 8:00 on a Wednesday night.

lol @ putting merles in evanston above honey 1

A whole bunch of this stuff is people either propping their own organisations, or anono-dissing competing organisations, isn't it?

On Yelp the absolute worst, most rip-offy mechanic in the Twin Cities is listed as the best.

I guess it's under Minneapolis, whatever

i dont know how many scoops the large had but i wana large

"1. The (men's) bathroom. The urinals aren't private at all. I used to get the creeps there when I was younger."

im not sure what this is talking about, but has anyone else been locked up for a good 10-15 seconds when trying to piss in one of those fucking troughs they have at baseball stadiums?

deej, how do you rate Hecky's?

i love heckys but its also a personal thing, he was huge in the community everyone knows him here. his sauce is fantastic, i always keep a jar, but hes not doing 'authentic'-style bbq and in the grand scheme heckys is near the top of mid-tier bbq joints

oh and im referring to evanston heckys btw, the heckys near cabrini is terrible and not actually run by hecky, some dude just licensed the name and logo

Yeah, I assumed as much. I had some good cornbread from the Evanston Hecky's once.

yeah its great there too, my friend did his website pro bono so i get free bbq when we stop in sometimes

anyway this is not the frist time that she give us actitude but i love target anyway

Isn't giving every over opinionated schlomo the right to write about everything the ILX way??

she had a really but costumer service

Citysearch is full of the 10 grand stroller insane nyc mommies and Evil Gays

Can't Truss It

harder to zing

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

^^^^^^ this is also true of austin

Fine the yelp reviews of Honey 1 can suck, that will keep too many people out of there so it doesn't get ruined. Calvin's and Fat Willy's BLOW.

Lupita's Pupuseria
Category: Mexican
Neighborhood: East Oakland

if your looking for a Mexican place to eat and talk this is one of the best place to do is also always clean and the people Mis paisanas always nice don't be freak to go in i know from the out side and the neighborhood is not that great but is really good good food the prices are from 6 to 10 dolares for a plate. but carefully if you go you have to spend more then 15 dollars to use your credit card. waitress are great good costumer service they have mexican coca cola en botella too

Sites like Yelp will never ever replace having actual friends who know things for recommendations.

I'm starting to think English maybe isn't Angel M's first language.

Oakland public schools kind of suck.

My impression is the quality of Yelp contributions on the WC is greater than that on the East.

It makes me think of erstwhile minor jam band yEP!

* every fucking annoying 10000-review east asian girl reminding you that she knows what real (korean/japanese/chinese) food is like and this place (measures up|does not measure up|is ok) in every fucking asian place ever *

still, better than fat jewish dudes who claim to know what real asian food is like, no?

one reason i dont yelp is because if i did i would just end up rating every italian restaurant and pizza place in LA as one star and start all my reviews with "I'm from New Jersey, so I know what real Italian food is."

More likely to have grown up eating poor people ethnic food instead of hanging out with their rich college educated parents in Cherry Hill

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^this

That's about half of the Asian restaurant reviews in Seattle Yelp.

I fear what Vancouver Yelp would be like.

"i grew up in u.s. i should know what a real hamburger tastes like sorry canadians but a&w sucks lol [1 star]"

one reason i dont yelp is because if i did i would just end up rating every italian restaurant and pizza place in LA as one star and start all my reviews with "I'm from New Jersey, so I know what real Italian food is."

olive garden

I looked at the Yelp for DC and it was terrible and useless and full of flawed, miserable human beings who have chosen to live in this atrocious wasteland of injustice, fraud and sin, much like myself

so basically chaki otm

but in my case I think it has more to do with the locale

do u yelp?

yelp smells like a weird pyramid scheme and everyone on there sounds like easy marks for shit like landmark forum.

hahahahahaha

actually, my mechanic offered me a 10% discount on service in exchange for a ***** yelp review

he is a good mechanic tho

I wonder if I'd get any bites if I posted on CL asking for Yelp payola....

the nu yelp

Shasta is the mascot of the University of Houston athletics teams, the Houston Cougars. Shasta is a female cougar. While previously a live cougar, Shasta is now a costumed mascot.

LOVE A COUGAR: Yelp's sequel "Cougar Appreciation Night" is tonight at the Good Luck Bar. Help one Yelper answer these pressing questions: "Will the baby cougars stage a takeover and demand recognition from the men of Yelp? Will the public drunkenness factor of this event reach such epic proportions that Yelpers end up banned from the Good Luck Bar? Will any cougar-age women actually show up to this one?"

the good luck bar sucks too

I chak missi :-(

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
