I did take a picture of my food at a restaraunt once because it looked delicious. Manager walked over and started telling me all the stuff about why the restaraunt was awesome and telling me about all their deals. Realized 5 minutes later it was because he thought I was a Yelp reviewer or some shite



A good way to get your waiter/waitress's attention is to just put your hand up with a slight wave and say, "Yelp!" in a high pitch voice. It sounds almost like a dog bark, but it really makes them hop to. Also, snapping pics of the walls and ceiling makes them pretty attentive.

Is it just me or do these folks come off as incredibly needy, self-obsessed assholes? "The waiter did not smile and didn't respond to my stupid attempt at small talk."


Yep. Everyone thinks they are a freaking critic because they've watched a few food shows.

They focus on little nuances because most have no clue about food. That’s just the facts.

I have never written any kind of review for a restaurant. I saw this thread and went to Google maps reviews for a BR place I used to get food from when I lived there. Most reviews were good but there were a lot that said the elderly woman who is the waitress is mean as hell and has a horrible attitude.

If this many people are griping about her, surely the owner knows about it? If it were only 1 review I would ignore it if I owned the place but it was about 15% of them. Do owners just not read these reviews?
