Hello @kevindurant1990 welcome to the Local Guides Connect community!
All posts, that is reviews, photos and videos are checked by an AI filter not only for obeying the rules, but also for suspected SPAM and false information. If the filter rejects any phrases of text or the content of media, it will not be published (“hidden” or “private”).
Looking at your profile, I can tell 3 out of your 5 reviews and all 3 photos are hidden.
If one or more photos or videos are attached to your review, the entire review will be hidden if only one of them is rejected.
Therefore, if photos are attached to one of your hidden reviews, as a first try, you should remove the photo(s) and see, if text-only is accepted.
For more information, I suggest reading the series of articles written by @MortenCopenhagen a while ago: How to Get In and Out of Trouble: The Main post
Hope, this helps for now. Feel free to ask questions.

@kevindurant1990 I can see two >24 hour old reviews live under your profile as well as on the restuarants’ pages, so perhaps you just need a bit of time for them to show up on your other devices. Welcome to the Local Guides Connect community!
Hi kevindurant1990
If the reviews are not going live, you can appeal. The verification process takes up to 60 days, but you only need to make one appeal for all blocked reviews. To do so, use this form: Account investigation for contributions not visible on Google Maps
Please remember that after you have appealed you must not modify the review, because this action will cancel the appeal submitted, and you will have to appeal again.
I hope this will solve your issue.
