CA · Google vs Yelp divergence

Google loves them. San Francisco is less sure.

When a restaurant's Google rating significantly outpaces its Yelp rating, the gap is signal. Google captures first impressions, tourists, and the hospitality of novelty. Yelp captures repeat visitors, locals, and the truth.

Google and Yelp ratings converted to the 0–100 scale. Δ is Google minus Yelp — the higher the number, the wider the gap between public enthusiasm and local assessment. One entry per name, so a chain's branches don't crowd the list.
