Yard House 261 19th. St. NW #1100…read moreAtlanta, GA 30363 Fried Calamari (not pictured) 20 Oz. Bone-In Rib Eye When I initially entered the restaurant, the service started off rocky. My girlfriend, her son, and I requested a booth. The hostess told us the wait time would be 20 minutes. Over 45 minutes had passed and we were still waiting for the booth. Another party had several minutes after us and they were immediately seated in a booth. Management admitted they unintentionally seated the other party first and they apologized. To compensate for this mistake, the server still honored the Happy Hour menu; our wait was so long that Happy Hour had just ended. We initially ordered an appetizer that was not eligible for the Happy Hour rate, so we changed our order to fried calamari (not pictured). The server originally still attempted to serve our first appetizer after we mentioned that we wanted the calamari. After this correction was made, the fried calamari was excellent. It was crunchy on the outside while chewy on the inside. The roasted jalapeño tartar sauce and spicy tomato sauces were perfect sides to the dish. As soon as the meal arrived, it was a decent finish to a rocky start. The steak was cooked medium, but still had a fair amount of pink. The cut was tender and juicy. I especially enjoyed the dipping sauce because of its bourbon flavor; I highly recommend requesting a second cup because the sauce also paired well with the mashed potatoes and broccoli. While my experience with the main course was spot on, there was a tweak with my girlfriend's son. He ordered truffle fries as part of his side dish, but it arrived several minutes after everything had already been served. He barely ate any, but he requested a doggy bag. Overall, the experience started off on a negative note with a few bumps along the way, but I was highly pleased with the meal and appetizer itself. If I ever visit this particular establishment again, I most likely will order my meal for takeout. #yardhouse #yardhouseatlanta #20ounceribeye

When I went on a Sunday afternoon, both were completely filled. I don't understand why the parking attendant at the slightly further lot wouldn't tell others turning into the filled lot that it was filled(?). A bunch of people street park for free along the hill, but it's a short walk. Tried their matcha kiwi lemonade - it's refreshing to say the least. The kiwi definitely overpowers the matcha. But as a lemonade in the hot summer, it's not a bad drink to try (but also it's like $7). Also got a honey latte with oat milk (which is not extra). However, I think the staff member forgot the oat milk because it didn't taste oaty and made my tummy rumble. Plenty of seating. If you want a quiet studying space, this isn't the right cafe. However, if you want a bustling chatty cafe with tvs and entertainment around, this is the place for you. I sat at the couches under the TV, and it was a great lounging place. Most people were chatting, eating, and drinking; however, they also had board games. Free water refilling station and cup water located by the outdoor seating exit.

There is a dedicated parking lot, but with certain nights, the spaces can get filled fairly quickly.

I ordered the black bean burger and the upcharge to pub fries. Burger was pretty loose and fell apart, they may ned to add an egg to the recipe or something, to hold it together?

Food was fine but could have been better. Probably a perfect spot for Oktoberfest!

We arrived around 1 pm on a Saturday and had issue finding parking in their main lot. There is an overflow lot behind the building and there is signage to direct there if needed. When we arrived, we smelled something delicious coming from the on-site food truck, heard some great live music coming from inside and there were a ton of folks inside and outside just having a good ol time. Once we walked inside, there was plenty of beer on tap but I appreciated that there were frozen drinks available and with their partnership with Urban Tree, I was excited to see some of my old favorite ciders. The guy that helped me was super sweet and helpful. He made some great suggestions and I had a vodka blueberry lemonade, came back later for a water-marita which was my favorite. We order some loaded fries from their onsite food truck and the fries were amazinggggg! Huge portion, hot, and just the right amount of food. They have plenty of other stuff on the menu but the fries were good enough for the both of us. I totally forgot what drink my husband got but I do remember he enjoyed them. We had a great time just people watching, listening to music and chatting with folks. This is a good place to just come and hang for awhile for sure and we'll be back sooooooon.

I noticed the place was very pet friendly and a couple dogs came over to visit with us.

I was greeted upon entering and the vibe was great. Diverse crowd. Beer taps all around. Good music. The meeting was upstairs on the second level. They had finger food and it was tasty. I was most impressed by the 3rd level which is a space that can be reserved for a private event also. It has a full bar. Service was great and I would return again with friends who actually drink beer. The only reason it did not get a 5 star rating, as I was viewing the upstairs the employees complained and hoped we were not ordering anything. Well I was not. I was checking the space out to see if I would consider it for other events. My thoughts...I would but I would not want that server/bartender dealing with my business.

I ordered the insanely great fried chicken and it came with coleslaw and a biscuit. I also had the potato hash on the side that was killer. We ordered some shareable plates of food including the deviled eggs trio, and the scrumptious cornbread covered in butter. The mixed drinks looked amazing although they didn't have bloody Mary's on a Sunday g brunch afternoon for some reason but I just ordered a Guinness to go with my food anyway it's a beautiful restaurant just like the old location and the service was impeccable.

We had brunch at Holeman and Finch Public House yesterday (Saturday). Everything was outstanding…read more This restaurant continues to be an Atlanta institution and one of the best in the city. Holeman and Finch is known for its burger, and deservedly so, but I can't stress enough how good the other food and drink are here. Looking at the current list of Atlanta restaurants in the Michelin Guide, I think Holeman and Finch deserves to be included. I wonder why they got snubbed. Holeman and Finch relocated to Colony Square in Midtown in February 2023. The restaurant validates parking in the Colony Square garage for two hours. We stayed just over two hours and ended up paying $6. I like to enter and exit the garage via Peachtree St NE. There's also an entrance/exit on 14th St NE, next to The Starling hotel. We used to go to the original location in Brookwood/South Buckhead circa 2010 when only 24 burgers were made per night and released at 10pm. Holeman and Finch existed in that location from 2008 to 2020. It was quite the Yelp hot spot: https://www.yelp.com/biz/holeman-and-finch-atlanta-2 This new location at Colony Square is way more spacious and looks great. There's indoor and outdoor (covered and uncovered) seating. The atmosphere is that of a modern, upscale pub. It's nice. Reservations can be booked on OpenTable, so get those dining points. Our server said the brunch menu was served until 4pm. Here's what my wife and I had: Drinks: * H&F Bloody Mary ($14) * Iced Tea - half sweet, half unsweet ($5) Graze: * Naturally Served Oysters ($5 each) - cocktail sauce, mignonette, buttered saltines, horseradish - Lowcountry Cups - Charleston, SC - Dukes of Topsail - Topsail Sound, NC - Dixon Point - New Brunswick, Canada * Deviled Egg Trio ($9) - classic, country ham, and Pickapeppa mayo * Hand Chopped Sirloin Steak Tartare ($20) - capers, horseradish, egg yolk, chips * Simple Lettuces ($15) - citrus vinaigrette, crisp shallots, fromage blanc, pecans Sandwiches: * H+F Cheeseburger ($28) - certified Angus and Hereford beef, onions, Kraft, fries Plates: * Housemade Scottish Gravlax ($18) - toasted brioche, fried Pantelleria capers, lemon dill clabber * Holeman + Finch Vegetable Plate ($32) - "all that is best from our Southern farms" Dessert: * Sticky Toffee Pudding ($14) - vanilla ice cream Everything, down to the sweet tea, was fantastic. The Bloody Mary was strong and so delicious that I gulped it down. All of the dishes were beautifully plated and finished. The oysters were fresh, superb quality, and cleanly shucked. They forgot the crackers, but that's okay. I highly recommend the deviled eggs. They were perhaps the best we've ever had anywhere. If you're unfamiliar with Pickapeppa, it's a sweet and savory Jamaican brown sauce that is used to make the mayo for this dish. There was nothing "simple" about the Simple Lettuces salad. It was pretty much a perfect, tasty, and refreshing salad. As for the H+F Cheeseburger, it's a classic and continues to be one of the best burgers around. Every bite is just so good, and the ketchup and mustard remain distinct. If you've never had the burger before, get it here or at H&F Burger at Ponce City Market. The Truist Park version isn't the same and I've never tried the Mercedes-Benz Stadium version (the old Turner Field version was legit, though). If you like gravlax, wow - the gravlax here is amazing and really well made. The Vegetable Plate was terrific as well. It featured potatoes, okra, beans, succotash, mushrooms, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and more with a fried onion ring on top. It's a great dish to share. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was top-notch - exceptional texture and flavor, and perfectly paired with a scoop of dense vanilla ice cream. Our server was Jonathan R. He was friendly and took great care of us. A manager checked on us too.

My only complaint was that the music was a little too loud, making it less than ideal if you're planning to take work calls or attend virtual meetings. Overall, it's a great spot for remote work, happy hour, or unwinding after work. I'll definitely be back!
