I recall when Yelp started out, it was hard to find legit reviews because of the constant influx of fake reviews. Personally, I find 4 and 3 star reviews far more realistic and helpful, but it also depends on the establishment.
There's a great dive bar down the road from me that has a bunch of moderate reviews because people review it as if it's fine dining. I actually broke my rule of never reviewing anything to give it 5 stars because it has everything you'd want in a dive bar: cheap booze, great bar food, and smoking.
