Is there also a privacy focused alternative to yelp? I’d like to know the ratings of a business before I start driving.

This is honestly the only thing I use gmaps for too. I feel like organic and other map apps are useful, but there are very few others for looking up restaurant/business info with the ease of gmaps

There are organizations that purport to be Yelp alternatives, such as Open Reviews Association, but I haven't seen anything with widespread integration or adoption. It's a cool idea nonetheless.

Is yelp even reliable? No bots?
