Google reviews used in isolation can’t, but I’d argue that no one source really can turn up something like that unless that one source is a human being who knows an extraordinary amount about restaurants in a given location. I use Google first to find highly rated places, then look at those restaurants’ websites and menus to decide if they are a place that I actually want to eat at.
