Do the ratings on Google Maps have any correlation with the quality of the businesses? (sh.itjust.works)

Less so now than ever. I used to use Maps a lot. I see a lot of businesses lately offering deals for good reviews, so I've been to a few places with hundreds of reviews and 4.7+ stars that are mediocre at best. So I've started to read the 1 star reviews and look for reports of those deals and that helps some. Or the phrase "I don't understand all the 5 star reviews."
