I've never bothered looking at Google's interpretations of menus on Google Maps. When available, I'm just always going to go to the actual restaurant website and look there instead. What I have found occasionally useful is the (presumably automatic) categorization of photos into a menu category. Those at least generally let me know whether something's up to date (especially useful the last couple years as restaurant concepts have fluctuated wildly), and are very helpful for places that don't have much online presence - street food stands, pubs, local fast food places, that kind of thing.
