When we walked in, the restaurant smelled a little funny. There were a lot of things on the menu and I ordered one of the salmon dishes. The Mediterranean salmon was super delicious with the extra lemon and hot sauce I requested. It was also very healthy, and our server, Eric, was very pleasant. I would order this again.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.

Food is always tasty and this restaurant is v definitely a nice place to go to meet up with friends. The Blue Garage is just a couple mins - walk away which is very convenient. Service is usually pretty quick too! read more
Came in for Mother's Day, there was a 45-60 minute wait (as expected) service was great as always good came out quick which was a plus...for some reason the drinks take longer than the food which is confusing but ehh! My pole nachos were amazing of course the calamari was delicious and perfectly cooked. The Spicy Tuna Tower was not spicy at all which was disappointing and now let's talk about why I removed a star....The Shiitake mushroom garlic noodles no salt, not as garlicy as I would like and most importantly these were baby portobello mushrooms NOT THE SAME!! And pissed me off. I took them home and added actual shiitake mushrooms, more garlic, garlic salt and crushed red pepper to make them less disappointing. read more
We met friends here one night for dinner. My only complaint was that we had to wait about an hour for a table. Once we were seated the service was great. I had a dragon fruit Cosmo which was deliciously crafted. For dinner I have a dish with shrimp and noodles. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals and they were able to accommodate one of our party's food allergies. read more

We came back here for a work lunch and enjoyed it. We were able to get seated immediately without a reservation, which was nice. The food was delicious! I got the Cobb salad with salmon which was very good. Others got the poke salad & shrimp bowl which I was told were also pretty good. And our server Ian took solid care of us as well. We will be back, as it was a good visit. Well done!! read more
By far the best happy hour in town.half prices apps and $2 off most alcohol, coupled with the longest list of beers on tap means I can often be found here at 5.30 PM on at least one Friday a month. Try the chicken nachos or the brussel sprouts for the apps and you won't go wrong with any beer you pick. read more
I love going here for happy hour. The food is normally pricey but happy hour the poke nachos, chicken nachos, pizza and spinach are half off. My favorite is the poke nachos and the chicken nachos and they are definitely worth it during happy hour. The pizza did not hold its shape when I picked it up but it wasn't bad and I was hoping the spinach dip would be better but it was still good. The service was fast and you can order from a little tablet at the table. Space was nice but a little dark. read more
Came here with visiting friends as we were checking out the Domain area. Beer options, even from other countries, are really expansive here. The prices are a big yikes for the lack of flavor and how overcooked the food was. If you're with a picky eater, like we were that day, this is probably a good pick because there is very basic foods to choose from. We're from WI so it's always exciting to see cheese curds on a menu around here, they were okay but gushing out cheese, they didn't do the breading quite right. The onion ring tower was presented adorably in literally a tower, but they were a bit tough. The sauces that came with the onion tower were yummy though! We also got some tacos and they were bland and the Spanish rice that came with it was dry. The patio was very comfortable, they had fans going and other than an occasional fly there was no bugs for eating outside in the open. It's the Domain so it is a louder atmosphere, but they keep the music here at a good level. The biggest plus was the service was fast and they checked in the appropriate amount of time even when it got very busy they were attentive to all the tables and we had zero issues. read more

I really like this place, the food is pretty good, I had the crispy salmon with vegs and mash. Four dessert , I had creme brulee cheesecake and bread pudding. It was so good! The bartender made sure we had what we needed, he was very attentive, the ambience gives upscale sports bar, I would recommend Yard House anytime for sports events or Just a pregame drinks ,lunch or dinner! read more
My boyfriend and I have have been here a few times for happy hour. We are glad the menu is fairly extensive for HH too! I'm a vegetarian and usually get the gardein wings with black pepper sauce and a lemon pepper sauce (you're able to get 2 sauces for one order.) My boyfriend loves the chicken nachos as well as the chicken tender plate. The fries are cooked to perfection, just enough crunch to softness ratio. The Dijon sauce that they have is also divine, not a grainy Dijon, but one that is silky. My boyfriend is a cocktail fan and has tried some of the ones they have. I am a beer fan and love how many options they have! We usually sit at the bar, we've luckily found seats as the bar area can be packed, but is big enough to find seats together. The staff are super friendly and we've usually gone on Wednesdays so we can see the same crew work well in unison. It does get lively but we are always happy to come back! read more
Yard House self identifies as a "New American" restaurant, which at first glance seems like a redundant thing to say considering there are trees older than the USA. However, we will admit, we understand it now. The menu at Yard House reads like a company potluck, with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. We didn't go into the experience expecting much but we were pleasantly surprised. The good: the food. Did not expect that at all. Maybe it's the idea of American restaurants being synonymous with chains like Applebees or Chili's but we just assumed the food would be okay at best, but this was good food. We ordered sliders to start and they were good; hard to mess up meat, cheese, and bread. The fries were also good, on the softer side but seasoned well. For our main dishes we ordered the fontina vodka penne and fish and chips. The portions were absolutely huge. The fish and chips were lightly battered and almost fell apart if you gave it a touch, the chips were the same fries as before so they have the same rating. The vodka penne was a substantial plate of savory pasta and well cooked chicken. Truthfully a way better pasta dish than we expected coming here. As for the tacos, they had a good crunch and the fish was very flavorful. No complaints at all. Ordered the strawberry lemonade and the Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA and both were standard. Lastly we ordered the Oreo brookie which was unfortunately a miss. The taste is fine but being able to actually get pieces small enough to bite felt like having an arm wrestling match with the spoon. The bad: not glaringly big issues, but still noticeable. It is a bit noisy which we understand should be the case considering it's Yard House and it's a fun atmosphere, but the added noise of 50+ people congregating in the front as they wait for seats and overly loud music don't help. This leads me into my next problem with Yard House: the lack of a reservation option is a supremely large issue in The Domain. You can opt to go on the waitlist but in an area where waits can go from 5 minutes to 45 in the blink of an eye, it would be tremendously helpful to be able to set reservations. Lastly, the service is a bit lukewarm. Our server was a bit nonchalant but other servers were warmer so this could just be chalked up to random chance. The final verdict is that Yard House is a fun and filling experience held back by operational issues that don't sink the boat but certainly don't make for smooth sailing. read more
I happened to be in the area waiting to meet up with my kids, so I stopped by the Yard House to have a beer. It's really cool that they have so many beers on tap. The beers come in 3 sizes, small (pint), medium (23 oz), and very large (half yard), perhaps 32 oz of good beer. So whatever size you think you can handle, rest assured it will be cold and fresh. The bartenders were busy drawing beers and ciders as well as making cocktails. They ensured my cup was full. I liked the layout of the bar. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. The aisles are large, so you don't feel crowded. There were also many TVs throughout to let you watch some type of sport. I didn't eat, but I did see someone getting a giant pretzel. It was almost the same size as the half yard beer they were drinking. It was a great experience, and it would be worth your time to check it out! read more
Came here on a Sunday expecting it to be packed because of the football game but we were seated fast, got to enjoy the game and good food. They have a variety of options for picky or adventurous eaters. Restrooms were clean and the place has an elegant vibe. It's on the pricey side but I think it makes for a good first date. read more
We visited Yard House for St. Patrick's Day, and it was a fun, festive experience! They offered green drinks, and many diners were dressed in shades of green, adding to the lively atmosphere. Their Happy Hour deals are always a win--half off select appetizers and cocktails, plus great discounts on other alcoholic drinks. We sat outside as a big group, and Gavin and the team took great care of us with friendly and attentive service. I was at the far end of a long table with the vegetarian diners, and all of our vegetarian orders were crispy, hot, and delicious. The restaurant had a fun, energetic vibe--perfect for a group celebration. The back patio is super dog-friendly, and our pup had a great time just chilling while we enjoyed our evening. Looking forward to coming back again! read more

Our server/bartender Jason was a total rockstar! Super friendly, quick with refills, and had the best recommendations. Jason kept the vibes fun the whole time--we left full and smiling. Can I request Jason every time?! the food was amazing too! read more
Yard House (YH) is always a solid choice when you have individuals/group of varying wants/tastes. YH provides me the variety and the consistent quality I enjoy; nothing amazing but nothing bad either. Service is usually good but you do have sometimes with some misses as the staff are human and might have other things going on for them in their lives too. For the most part, YH is a yummy and a great Plan B when others fail or late night ;D munchies read more
The Yard House happy hour is such a banger and I'm giving it five stars just for the value and the food you get. Some of the dishes were really good. Some of them were just OK so this is what I got: brussels sprouts: do you have a pretty good flavor but they're very salty and very greasy because their fried but it is a great value Tuna nachos: probably my favorite dish because the flavors work so well together in the wonton chips were crispy Sliders: I was not a big fan of these. The meat was a little over cooked in underseasoned and fries were good, but nothing special. Calamari: the calamari was pretty good. There was a lot of breading, and the marinara sauce was very watery. Overall, I had a great time and the service is good, but you don't really need a waiter because everything's kind of automated from the tablet. I'll definitely be back. read more
I've been here many, many times and have always have had a good experience. I've tried many items from the menu that always tasted great! Today I tried the spicy shrimp noodles tasted really fresh. Our host and server were welcoming and friendly through and through. Early in the day it's pretty quiet where you can converse normally, later in the afternoon can get pretty loud. The only "bad" thing id say is the menu pricing can be all over the place. Some of the pricing makes sense for what you're getting and some doesn't. Other than that, love this place. read more

3 stars for service and the amount of food served. The food was NOT hot/ fresh at all, but I guess they figure the portion sizes make up for the quality? WRONG! Next time I go during Happy Hour, I'll ensure to communicate with my waiter I would like FRESH FOOD! read more

stopped by to get a drink before shopping. very cute place, it was pretty busy on a sunday afternoon so we sat at the bar (first come first serve). they had a lot of options on the menu and have happy hour deals for drinks & half off apps and meals. lots of beer options as well. staff was nice. read more
Yard House is great for one thing, and one thing only: their happy hour (and their draft beer selection, given that it's the "world's largest selection" - although I don't really care for beer). With 1/2 off select apps (a wide range of apps) and all pizzas, you can easily spend $30-$50 here and feed 3-4 people. You may even take some leftovers home. The variety is fun and satisfying for everyone, and while the food is average, it's a big bang for your buck when everything clocks in at around $7-$8. Happy hour is M-F from 3-6pm and Sun.-Wed. 10pm-close for late night/reverse happy hour. I will only visit Yard House for their happy hour because the food isn't worth the price to me otherwise. However, it's a great go-to spot for happy hour with friends! Some of my go-to orders are the chicken nachos, poke nachos, and a pizza. The variety of options on the happy hour menu is pretty high. Service is great - ask for Logan if you visit! He was great and has worked there for 5+ years (also served in the Army, and his wife works at Yard House, too)! Free parking in the parking garages (there's a garage right behind Yard House) since it's in the Domain! No reservations but you can join the waitlist online or call ahead if you're expecting a wait. The restaurant itself is large, clean, and has good vibes. read more
I have been to the Yard House in Addison (Dallas) and always on the list of places to go for a late bite yet nice bar and variety of options. Since I live at the domain, this location, here is so convenient and I absolutely love the vibe, the ambience, the lighting, and of course, the menu options as they are a wide variety. Not a lot of margarita options as they took away the magic margarita drink, but they have a wide variety of beer and some other good options. I love their garlic noodles and appetizers plus a nice steak dinner if in the mood for a good filet. Just a wide variety with something from every ethnicity such as Asian, Mexican, American, Pasta, Pizza, etc. Always a good vibe at this location. read more

Visited yesterday afternoon and was really impressed. Our servers, Josh and Denisse were great. We started off with a beer and Picante Margarita (it was soo good!) along with the Crispy Brussel Sprouts. They were easily top 3 best sprouts we've had. For our entree, we had the Nashville Hot Chicken and the Ribeye. Both were 10/10. We also tried the Cheesecake Brulee, it was awesome! Will definitely go back! read more
I came here with a group of coworkers after 6 PM on a Wednesday and the place was already packed. I read many of the recent reviews before I got here and the majority of yelpers like the place with the exception of a small minority. I have to admit, I was surprised there's not a single "business owners" response to any review. Walking in to this place, you immediately are surrounded by the noise of the crowd, music and the bartenders are very busy running around numerous taps at the center of the bar. There's a flat screen every direction you turn featuring a sports channel and there is an army of servers scurrying around. There were 15 of us enjoying a beer and a presentation, but we were seated on the main floor since they do not have a private room. It didn't take long for a variety of appetizers to show up and they were great. Keep in mind. this is just really good pub grub, but they're not gonna win any Michelin stars here. If you're looking for a loud fun festive atmosphere, you'll enjoy this place, but I don't recommend it for a business meeting. Informative photos included. read more
Their burgers are great! I'm a fan of medium rare burgers and this only seems to be an option at the pricier spots. I got the truffle cheese burger and my boyfriend got the whiskey aged white cheddar burger. I actually ended up liking his burger more -- the truffle burger did not have much of a truffle flavor. I enjoyed the standard fries a lot and the truffle fries had a much stronger truffle taste than the burger, surprisingly. The service was efficient and there are little self-checkout tablets on every table which we found super convenient. We were here as a group of 4 and the tablet allowed us to separately pay by item! read more
The yard house is one of our top 5 go-to spots while at the Domain. They have a large menu so there will always be something for someone in a group. They can handle large groups, we would go for corporate events. Great beer selection but the bartenders make decent old fashions. Service is normally good. They have a large patio option that is dog friendly and TVs on outside with sports on mainly. My go-to food is always their poke nachos and their firecracker shrimp. You can also browse the menu on their tablet and order from there too. It makes it easy to split checks this way. Restrooms are always nice and clean. Been here at least 20 times and never had any major issues overall I can think of. read more

This place is always very busy, especially on a weekend. Just popped in to grab a beer, but ended up choosing the house beer flight- spot on. The spicy tuna stack was not what I was expecting, but still good. The Calamari and the sauces were spot on. Our waiter recommended some different fries, as opposed to truffle ones, they were good, but needed a bit more sauce read more
Perspective from the bar! Incredible service and quality. The staff here will take the time to find you the perfect beer that suits your palate. I love that they have sours on tap all year! The clientele that sits at the bar are friendly and welcoming. I was here on business and flying solo. Nikk and Jason were kind and welcoming, and enthusiastic about helping me find the best beer and dinner. I enjoyed friendly and genuine companionship from the other diners who sat at the bar. The Domain is generally very impersonal but I loved my experience at Yard House! read more

The food was decent, and the waiter was attentive. However, there was a server named Carolina that came out with our salad without bringing the dressing, as well as ignoring us when we requested her to take the dirty and finished dishes back to make space on the table TWICE. It was not a busy time at all, please adjust attentiveness from the staff. read more
