For two decades, consumers have turned to Yelp to post their own reviews as well as to get the scoop on everything from restaurants to tourist spots. Now, the review site is disclosing the 20 most popular businesses among its millions of reviewers.
Yelp, which is marking its 20th anniversary, said the list of top 20 spots are based on nearly 300 million customer reviews of 691,000 restaurants, stores, cultural institutions and more since the site started in 2004. Places that earned top spots in the ranking ranged from museums and scenic sites to independent eateries.
The online forum kicked off in October 2004 with its first post from a reviewer named Jon B., who posted about Kabuki Springs & Spa in San Francisco. ("Show up early and take advantage of their sauna, showers and fruit bar before your massage.")
