I've been a regular Yelp user & contributor for several years and I've only been to one of these restaurants. Ironically the lowest on the list (#100). And that one restaurant cemented for me my current method of using Yelp: I look for businesses that are well reviewed on Yelp but not too well reviewed. A restaurant with a few dozen reviews and a strong average? Probably a solid place. A restaurant with thousands of raves? That's past the tipping point where crowd sourcing becomes groupthink.
