You are correct in that Google does not provide the photos or reviews via the LocalSearch API. I believe that Yahoo! provides them via its local search API, but that is available merely as a restful interface. You have to build any and all wrappers yourself. You can check it out at the link below:
http://groups.google.com/group/google-ajax-search-api/browse_thread/thread/ccbcf6c42d5a78bc One thing you will want to note right off the bat is that Yahoo! puts a 5,000 query per 24-hour period rate limit on their API. This means that you can only submit 5,000 queries per 24-hour period (i.e., you can't run 5,000 at 11:59 pm and then 5,000 more at 12:01 am; you'll have to wait again until 11:59 pm to run the next 5,000). And I believe this rate limit is measured against your application id, which means that once your application has hit 5,000 queries, even if it's distributed across multiple computers (e.g., a web application making client-side JSONP requests to the API), the whole thing just stops responding.
