YES !!

If someone posts about how the nachos are great, steer clear

If someone first posts about how huge the portion was and the food was 'good', steer clear

If someone in another thread posts about how great domino's, pizza hut, subway, Olive Garden, etc is, steer clear

If someone only posts about how the drinks are good, steer clear of the food, go for the drinks

I'd also add that I look for posts where someone has actually posted the menu or taken time to describe a dish instead of simply posting "food was great".
