- datavirtue 3y agoPerhaps you could just scrape yelp and use machine learning to show the patterns?
- bombcar 3y agoI just read a few of the middle/bad reviews and see if they seem like reasonable complaints.
- NSMutableSet 3y agoHow I use Yelp reviews: 5-star, less than 100 reviews: probably paid for reviews. I've never been to a "bad" place in this category, but I usually avoid it unless it's the most appealing option, so my sample size is small 4+ star, 1000+ reviews: definitely not bad. i would rate every place ive been to in this category as good or excellent, although some are overpriced. all of my favorite places in the bay area fall between 4.0 and 4.5 3.5 star, 100+ reviews: possibly good, probably not bad. ill check reviews, if people are primarily complaining about service and not food, it's probably good. i never pick 3.5 places if it's somewhere i've never been before, but i won't veto one if someone else suggests it 3.5 star, less than 100 reviews: i avoid these completely. i've still never been to one less than 3.5 stars, any number reviews: i also avoid these completely
