Do you guy's "Yelp"?
I had not heard of this web site until last night on "Anger Management" When Charlie Sheens character mentioned it.

I don't.  I use FB and Urban Spoon for that information.

I have the app but I never reference it.

i just started using Yelp a few weeks ago while in oakland/sf.  it worked great and has now become my "go to".  i actually used it last night for restaurant ideas here in town (my wife and i have a habit of going to the same places over and over).  i can't say that Yelp is better or worse than its peer apps.  it may just be more esthetically pleasing (or like a new toy) to me than the others.  i do like that it isn't limited to just eating.

There is an ancient Celtic axiom that says 'Good people drink good beer.' Which is true, then as now. Just look around you in any public barroom and you will quickly see: bad people drink bad beer. Think about it. - Hunter S. Thompson

I use it when traveling. The search option to show restaurants that are "open now" is key when it's late and  you're looking for a bite without having to wade through a bunch of joints that have already closed for the night.

This. I use the iPhone app when I am traveling to find things.

When traveling I prefer to use Chowhound to get restaurant reviews/feedback.  Unfortuantely, Chowhound is only useful for the larger metropolitan areas.

I used Yelp locally for a while, but the 5-star reviews for Cracker Barrel made me question its usefulness.

What? You don't think canned green beans and gravy ("cravy") rates 5 stars? Snob.  Cheesy
