Do you prefer using yelp or urbanspoon?

This goes for both reading and/or writing reviews. I have a modest amount of reviews on US but thinking about switching to yelp since you can review non dining establishments there.

Urbanspoon topped out about 3 years ago.

Really? When I'm in a new area I use urbanspoon most popular restaurants thing to decide where to eat. So yelp is better? Does it have a similar function to group restaurants by popularity and city?

I used the yelp app exclusively to pull up what was near me and see the star ratings on each. Then I could look at the map to see location or click to get more information such as the menu on a restaurant

I like to look at the pictures of food on urbanspoon.

I use Yelp first but I also like to confirm on US…some Yelpers suck and it affects the restaurants rating pretty bad
For example, waiter brought me an old fashioned and it sucked!! 1-star or there was a 45-minute wait but I saw 3 open tables!!! 1-star

There are not only also photos on Yelp, but there are almost always more and better quality.
I'm not a huge Yelp fan (prefer this site), but of the two, Yelp is much preferred.

Tis so true.
I ordered the turkey sandwich and the cheese was not aged properly ONE STAR
Posted on 7/31/14 at 7:32 pm to MiloDanglers
Yep.
And they'll give 4 stars instead of 5 to a place that they have 0 complaints about.

I read both, but honestly I think people are idiots and it's just for fun. Reviews, for anything, from people you don't know are completely worthless.
Posted on 7/31/14 at 9:17 pm to TheIndulger
I may be in the minority, but I prefer Urbanspoon. On a whole, their posters seem to be more knowledgeable.

LL, does yelp allow me to post about my bad gravy experiences?
Posted on 7/31/14 at 9:20 pm to Draven
Zomato is a good alternative.

I certainly hope so!
