- orbitur 12y agoIt is untrustworthy when a restaurant has only 4 or 5 reviews, even if they're written by "Yelp Pros". But when hundreds of people have "Checked In" at a place, you can usually rely on the star count to give you a fairly accurate estimation of how good it's going to be. I've also noticed some cities are way more into it than others, making it more reliable. Everyone in Halifax, NS depends on it, but when I visit my home Little Rock, AR, it's worthless, even though Little Rock is technically a larger city.
