    Crispy Traditional Wings

    Very busy for a Tuesday night, wait for 2 was 25 mins but we were seated after about 15-20. There was racing and an Astros vs Yankees game on screen. The vibe was cool. Lemon drops on point. We ordered a variety of food. I opted for the adult mac and cheese which was tasty but didn't have much meat throughout. The lettuce wraps were surprisingly good. The carnitas were amazing, that whole plate was great! Overall no complaints, our server was pretty attentive.

    Not understanding the aesthetic, but I like it.

    The Yard House. What can I say to a restaurant that sounds more like a bar. Really enjoyed walking inside. Felt like a chapter in the movie "Heavy Metal." it is a setting that feels like being in an underworld. It's dark, it's moody, smells of beer and food in the background and the roar of conversations throughout the room. My wife and I sat down and enjoyed some of their good eats during happy hour. It is a technology based restaurant. I like their little digital pads to view your orders. We ordered a few things on their menu and they were terrific! It's easy to over order, so be careful. Your table is only so big. Their staff was very friendly and excited just for you being there and serve you. While you're at the Domain, go check this place out. Parking is around the corner and it's a good way to escape the heat.

    You will like the ambience here! Very sport driven and their happy hour from 3 to 6 is amazing! I looked at my tab and I wondered if it was correct it was cheaper than I thought. The bartenders are sweet and nice and very customer service above. Be happy hour Monday through Friday. The pizza is amazing here. And may have also special drinks that are very tasteful. I recommend the espresso martini here. It's located right across from Perry Steakhouse-green garage. For a happy hour event or watching a sport this is the place to go and they have numerous table and numerous TVs. It does have an outside patio bathrooms are clean and everyone's just very friendly.

    Today was my second time at Yard House. They got rid of the vegan meat burger, so I got a veggie burger. We were in a large party, and everyone really enjoyed their food. The veggie burger isn't vegan unless you get the gluten-free bun, so it was a crumbly mess, but it wasn't bad.

    Surprisingly good experience considering it is a large chain AND busy restaurant. It is more of a casual spot with some interesting menu options. Somehow a lot of Asia-inspired food options. The beer menu is EXTENSIVE and well broken down into sections. Boyfriend got a stout and I got a Kish & Tell (soju based cocktail). Both were great options. We got a bone-in ribeye, by default was done med-rare, and a Cesar salad. Service was really friendly and fast, although these guys were for sure busy!

    Yard House at The Domain is a solid go to spot, especially for happy hour. Monday through Friday from 3 to 6, they run one of the better deals around with half off apps, two dollars off drafts, and cocktail specials, which makes it really easy to try a bunch of things without the bill getting out of hand. The portions are no joke. The chicken nachos are huge and perfect for sharing, loaded and satisfying. That said, the real star on the apps menu is the poke nachos. They are fresh, flavorful, and something you do not see done this well everywhere. Definitely a must order. Service has always been friendly and welcoming, and the staff keeps things moving even when it gets busy. It is a lively, reliable place to meet up with friends, grab drinks, and snack on some great food. Easy 4 stars IMO here!

    My husband and I absolutely love going to Yard House for our date nights. It has become our go-to place whenever we want a relaxed evening out. The location at The Domain is perfect -- we enjoy grabbing drinks and then taking a pleasant walk around the area later in the evening. Their happy hour on Fridays until 6 PM works perfectly for us. One of the best things about Yard House is their amazing selection of beers. I'm a big IPA fan while my husband prefers Pilsners, and they have great options for both. The happy hour appetizer and food selection is also fantastic. They actually have some really good vegetarian options on the menu, which I always appreciate. Some of our favorites are the Four Cheese Spinach Dip, Miguel's Queso Dip, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, and the Margarita Pizza. On the non-veg side, I usually stick to chicken, and their Chicken Nachos are our absolute favorite. The serving size for the nachos is very generous and super filling. During our most recent visit, we tried Bavarian IPA, Blood Orange Hefeweizen, Aiyyenger Pilsner, and Revolver Blood & Honey along with Chicken Nachos and Guacamole with chips. Just like every other time, we loved everything. The service is usually fast and the servers are friendly. During peak hours it can get a bit slow sometimes, but in our many visits it has only happened once or twice. Overall, it's a great spot for drinks, good food, and a fun date night. We'll definitely keep coming back!

    Came here for a work dinner with a large group last night and had a very nice experience! Service was great, our drinks and food came out very timely. I ordered the filet mignon and it was a perfect medium rare and seasoned pretty well. All of the appetizers we ordered were great and the desserts were so tasty! Overall, would def recommend for a group outing.

    We had been out at the racetrack all day, so wanted to grab something to eat, but finding locations that were still open was a struggle. We arrived on Friday of the US Grand Prix and the entire domain area was super busy. When we walked up to the Yard House we fully expected that we would have a longer wait, but we were pleasantly surprised that we were able to be seated right away. Again, there are plenty of parking garages in the area so you can park and walk over but again very limited street parking. My husband ordered the filet and it was cooked perfectly came with mashed potatoes and your choice of vegetables because it was seasonal, they came with carrots, but my husband also got an order of brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts are definitely spicy, but they are delicious. I ordered the steak bowl, which was the perfect size. The steak was cooked perfectly, good seasoning on it and the mix of the quinoa, mushrooms, and other vegetables was just the perfect ending to an evening. Our server was very attentive, even though it was super busy inside and very loud. He still made sure he took care of us.

    The food was better than expected... The atmosphere was nice.. We got to watch sports without being blown out by high volume All in all, this place over delivered for us. I hadn't been in some time because the Yard House in Houston was way too loud for me and we couldn't hear people across the table but this one has better acoustics and I was glad to give another Yard House another try. I'd recommend this to others and will definitely try the one in Houston again

    Queso
    Macias S.

    Had high hopes for this place based on reviews and videos circulating social media but it sadly did not live up to our expectations. To start off we placed our order and at the same time asked the waitress for extra chips for our app not minding if we had to pay extra. Waited a while for the food to come out, when it did they forgot the chips and by then the appetizer had already gone cold so we didn't bother. The tacos were okay except for the cheese that gets melted on the tortilla on one of them , it just tasted very greasy. The rice and beans that it came with were not good at all, not sure if you're able to tell in the picture but that rice was burnt, half of it was inedible, hard burned rice and the beans were cold. My fiancés fettuccine was too salty and she left 80% of it untouched. The only upside besides the other server who took our order and forgot our chips, our original server was friendly and nice. The drinks were the best thing here and the only thing worth the money. Everything else was not worth the money or hype.

    Queso with upgrade
    Mariel T.

    Good spot for happy hour. Otherwise it's not at the top of my list! Nachos served to a table near us looked better than our orders! Poke nachos were okay. They're good for people who don't actually like sushi or spice. Queso with beef addition was slow to come out and was almost burnt and sludgy? As if it had been under a heater for awhile and then reheated. It was massively filling so I guess it did the job.

    Shametria S.

    We decided to stop in during a Saturday visit to the Domain. The hostess greeted us promptly , and we were surprised to get a table on the patio for 7 right away! While the hostess and server were really nice, the food was underwhelming. With $18 dollar burgers, $23 salads and $15-6oz cocktails, we expected flavorful food and yummy cocktails, but it was all just okay. A little over priced and overhyped for my taste. Happy Eating!

It's a scratch kitchen concept with seasonal menus. There are plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options.

While the pancakes were good, for $8.50 I had hoped we would've gotten at least 2 pancakes but it was just a single piece. The Korean noodle bowl was good but it seemed pretty pricey for the amount I got since any protein add-on is a separate cost. At the end of the day, these prices are pretty much what you can except at the Domain so it is what it is.

We noticed also the outdoor seating options. We were seated in a side room still open to the main restaurant but a bit more secluded. The menu consists of healthy food choices with a lot of fresh components. I had the ancient grain bowl with seared salmon , glazed sweet potatoes cubes , onions, portobello mushrooms, avocado slice , snap peas and pistachio pesto which delicious. I could have eaten the pesto by the spoon My friend had the Chinese chicken salad with bok choy, watermelon relish, mixed greens , pickled ginger and avocado. The food is healthy AND delicious. The server suggested the Edamame dumplings as appetizer which was heavenly tasty. He also recommended the jasmine green tea where I as an avid tea drinker immediately noticed the bursting flavor of jasmine. He answered my question that it is high quality loose tea fresh brewed to order. True Food Kitchen definitely a must see when planning a dinner or lunch in the Domain.

It has a nice, big piece of battered cod with turmeric sauce on top, sitting in a bed of fried onions. The onions were a bit too salty, so I removed them. The salmon taco felt light. It had salmon bits mixed in with pico de gallo. It was different and was fine. The velvet cake is my favorite velvet cake in Austin, maybe that's why it's called Velvet Taco lol. The cake is very moist, with cream cheese frosting in the center and on top, which is very sweet. Definitely check out this dessert if you have a sweet tooth, since it's pretty sweet. IMO it's just too expensive for tacos. For one taco, it's between $5 - $7.

From the very beginning, I worked with Tra, the event coordinator. He did an amazing job and was incredibly patient with me because I can be a little picky and indecisive! He listened to what I wanted, answered all my questions, and always guided me in the right direction. Everything came together beautifully. Heaven was the lead on the day of the party, and she was fantastic--warm, helpful, and always making sure everything ran smoothly. Everyone we encountered was so kind and welcoming. Cale was our server, and he truly went above and beyond. We kept him very busy with a party of 25, but he handled it all with a great attitude. He was hardworking, personable, and just an incredibly nice guy. The food and drinks were amazing. I only wish I had been able to eat more myself, but all of our guests raved about everything! Most importantly, my husband was genuinely surprised, and everyone had a wonderful time. Catarina, the general manager, followed up with me afterward to make sure I was happy with the service and how everything went. She was amazing as well, and I truly appreciated her taking the time to personally check in with me. The atmosphere was fun and lively, and the entire event was exactly what I had hoped for. I highly recommend Culinary Dropout for a private event--especially working with Tra, Heaven, Cale, and Catarina. We will definitely be back, although next time it may just be for a relaxed afternoon to watch a game, enjoy the food and drinks, take in the great atmosphere, and give Tra, Heaven, and Cale a much-needed break from my party-planning craziness! Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart for making my husband's 60th birthday so special.

We ended up getting the soup dumplings, braised beef noodle soup, shoyu ramen, sticky lotus rice, and a lychee martini. The food came out at a decent time but in between ordering and getting our food a few members of our party ran into issues where the restaurant was out of things and they had to keep coming back to clarify what they did have which felt a bit off.
