[tor-talk] Yelp blocking Tor users from viewing entire site

So today I noticed Yelp appears to be blocking Tor.

I tried using multiple identities, but get a 503 error every time.

Anyone else have this issue?

This seems really overbroad... I could understand the argument against 
letting a Tor user post reviews, but to disallow simple browsing seems 
like overkill.
