Funny Restaurant Yelp Reviews
1. Poetic Flair
Kung Fu Noodle has wonderful food and eccentric fans. This restaurant is so popular this customer decided to create his own song/review sung to Kung Fu Fighting.
I chuckled when I first saw this.
But I also realized that Vin T, the reviewer, is actually a review savant. He’s included incredible details about the restaurant’s menu and service (e.g., the xiaolong is a bit unexcite-ing, there’s just too much MSG).
It’s creative reviewing at its finest.
2. Luxurious waistline
What about Larry H.? He can’t seem to pull himself away from Botto Bistro Italian Restaurant.
He’s so addicted to their food that he can’t seem to say no. That sounds like an endorsement to me.
3. A love story
Then there’s Michael T., who admitted that he lusted after Minato Sushi’s food.
It’s a love story that begins with lust, progresses to love, and concludes with a hopeful breakup. His amusing review reads as if he’s willing to give the relationship a second chance (lol).
4. Punny prose
Finally, Fox E., an aspiring Yelp emcee, decided to share his thoughts on Pinocchio’s Pizza in Cambridge.
Each of these reviewers showed an incredible amount of talent.
Their reviews were fair; they were eager, engaged, and willing to provide customers with legitimate and helpful information. The fact that these were funny was a wonderful bonus.
Funny Lawyer Yelp Reviews
5. Clean "rest stop"
Samuel G thought it would be a good idea to do a tongue-in-cheek review of big law firms in his area.
6. Granola bar buffet, looks like a break room
Samuel did the same thing to BigLaw firm Sullivan and Cromwell LLP.
He treats these international law firms as though they’re local shops in his neighborhood. He loads up on snacks from the cafeteria or snack cart and makes himself right at home. BigLaw typically isn’t represented on mainstream review platforms like Yelp, so it’s hilarious to see these reviews.
Funny Doctor Yelp Reviews
7. Fantastic butt-side manner
Jeffrey G. shared his review on anal fissures (you read that right).
His review reads like you’re candid advice from your best friend as he’s sharing his experience.
His review is great for several reasons.
All of the hidden objections that come with getting an embarrassing procedure done — having someone you don’t know inspect your nether regions, the pain, and discomfort, the insecurity, it’s all relieved by a doctor who has “great butt-side manner.”
8. Boss dentist is an OG
What about teeth?
Eboni F. gets right to the point in her review.
Like every good review, she includes helpful information and entertainment. She even shares photos of her teeth after her procedure is finished.
Funny Home Services Yelp Reviews
9. Wasp devils be damned
At first, Steven’s review reads like an aggressive infomercial.
His review is absolutely hilarious.
You can tell there’s no love lost between Steven and the wasps at his house. There’s lots of specificity in his review as if he believes these wasps are intentionally trying to ruin his BBQs.
What makes this better is the fact that he shares specific details, photos, and content to validate his experience. This makes his story all the more entertaining.
Funny Wedding Yelp Reviews
10. Anything but this!
Nick S. shared his experience with The Knot on Yelp.
It doesn’t seem like his experience is intended to be funny, but it’s hilarious all the same. The hyperbolic language would be over the top, even if his experience were a positive one.
Funny Car Dealer Yelp Reviews
11. The magical Tesla
Teslas are magical.
Michael T. walked into a Tesla store and walked out a believer.
He used passionate and imaginative language (e.g., Teslas are magical creatures and obviously take magical creatures to repair them, Willy Wonka’s workshop). It’s endearing to see how passionate he becomes as his visit progresses.
Funny Hotel Yelp Reviews
12. Savage burn
If you’re running the hotel in question, this negative review may sting slightly more than usual.
This reviewer leads with “this hotel is as welcoming as a neck and shoulder rub from Bill Cosby.” It’s an absolutely savage introduction that continues with more pop culture references. This reviewer manages to include the Chipmunks, Fabio, and incredibly detailed feedback.
13 - 14. The Cincinnati Fart
Tom Segura, or rather his wife, Christina Pazitsky, shared the story of her legendary fart in a hotel room while traveling. Now, a large segment of their fan-base travels to the very same hotel to pay homage to her intestinal distress.
What’s phenomenal about these reviews is the fact that they include honest and helpful feedback about the establishment in question. It’s hilarious that these two comedians have started a trend where adults travel to a hotel for the sole purpose of honoring flatulence, lol.
15. If you like getting robbed, this is the place...
Laura M. uses humor to cope with a horrifying experience.
No one enjoys these things, of course.
But she shares the specifics of a horrifying visit to this hotel in a humorous yet candid way. She admonishes readers to avoid this business, but she spends the previous paragraphs explaining why.
Funny Salon Yelp Reviews
16. A true professional blow dries your crotch
This review is a 2018 classic from a local barbershop, The Mane Barber Shop.
This customer accidentally gassed his barber, but his barber went along with it, doing what he could to protect his customer’s dignity. Barbers are probably used to gassy patrons, but it’s still probably pretty embarrassing for customers.
Until you decide to get a pedicure.
17. Until you decide to get a pedicure from the little shop of horrors
I laughed until my sides hurt after reading Vin’s review; he shared his first pedicure experience, and he did not disappoint.
I laughed even harder when I read his scorecard.
He gave them four stars overall but one-star for all of the positive benefits he received but didn’t want, absolutely fantastic.
