It depends on where you are using Yelp. Using Yelp outside of the US is dicey given the low usage ex-US. If in the US, always filter out by Elites, and then trust Elites with high usage/review numbers and from a big city. When I go overseas, I usually rely on Google results and (occasionally) TripAdvisor reviews.
