IMO, the star rating is useless as 4 stars can often be worse than 2.5 stars, but some random reviews can be helpful.<p>So, if your willing to spend a while going over them it&#x27;s better than nothing.  However, actual restaurant reviews are more accurate, take less time to use, and your less likely to read 10 reviews and learn nothing.  IMO, Yelp way over hyped for how little value it&#x27;s actually providing.
