Here's a 100+ word Yelp review you can use: Yard House is one of my favorite places to grab a drink and watch sports. They have an amazing selection of beers on tap and plenty of drink options, so there's always something new to try. It's the perfect place to meet up with friends, catch a game, and enjoy the lively atmosphere. The food is consistently good, with generous portions and lots of variety on the menu. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and keeps everything running smoothly, even when it's busy. The restaurant is clean, energetic, and has plenty of TVs, making it a great destination for any sports fan. If you're looking for great food, excellent drinks, and one of the best places in town to watch the big game, I highly recommend Yard House. It's a spot I'll keep coming back to. read more

TWO HAGS RATING BEER! Chris had salmon with kale and said it's was actually really good! Hummus and pita were wonderful vegan snack! Please add more radishes, crispy garbanzo beans and a bit more pita bread because there were only 4 slices of radishes for a portion. Now to beer! Rita: * Lengthwise Zeus: subtle hint of evergreen fur tree, NICE! 8 out of 10 * Allagash curieux: very sugary, never again, no amount of their delicious hummus could disguise the taste of this beer. 3 out of 10 Chris: * Hacker pschorr: Malty flavor goes down smooth. 5 out of 10 * Allagash Curiuex: if you like Jack Daniel's you'll love this beer. 3 out of 10 ----------------------- Review from the previous experience Rita: * Lizard beer. 8 out of 10 * New Holland dragons milk . 8 out of 10. * Sour passion. 3 out of 10.

Spring break means errands and mom and son lunch out, in the middle of a Wednesday! I have quite the picky eater with me 99% of the time so I don't get to go where I want 99% of the time. But that's to one of the biggest kids menus I've seen, I was able to talk my son into some real restaurant food and not fast food for lunch. It was not busy at all. The hostess was really friendly and so was our waiter. We were immediately sat and given waters. I went with the poke salad and it was so good! Very filling and a lot bigger than it seems in the photo. The amount of tuna was great,they definitely did not short me on my dish. My son got the kids cheese pizza and he was very impressed by the stringiness of the cheese. It also came with a decent amount of fries and fruit. He also loved the dragon fruit lemonade. The lighting was a bit dark but the music was great and my son enjoyed watching the Dodgers play on one screen and music videos on another. Definitely going back soon! read more

Yard House has been one of my favorite restaurants in Bakersfield for years, so I don't enjoy leaving a negative review. Unfortunately, I had an experience here that really concerned me from a cleanliness standpoint. During one visit, another family's soda spilled on the floor. An employee placed a hand towel on the floor, put his shoe on top of it, and dragged the towel across several feet of the restaurant floor to clean up the spill (wiping twice the amount of floor space than the actual spill itself). What concerned me most was that the same towel was then used to wipe the guests' table and chairs after they left. I understand that accidents happen and that employees have to clean up spills quickly, but using the same towel that had just been dragged across the floor to clean dining surfaces did not seem hygienic to me. I hope management can review the cleaning procedure and make sure separate materials are being used for floors versus tables and chairs. Perhaps I would recommend that the establishment begin using mops to clean spills. Faster and easier then cleaning a I still really really like Yard House and hope to continue going there, which is why I wanted to bring this to the restaurant's attention rather than simply stop visiting. I love the food, the appetizers, the burgers, the vibe, the employees are always nice and helpful. But I do not want to sit and eat at a table that was cleaned using the same towel to wipe the floor. read more

The staff here is hands-down the best I've experienced at any Yard House, and honestly some of the best I've seen at this level of dining. From start to finish, every interaction was exceptional. We chose to sit at the bar since we enjoy seeing what drinks others are ordering and asking questions about anything that catches our eye. The bartenders were fantastic knowledgeable, approachable, and happy to answer questions. At one point my wife needed to use the restroom, and they even offered to walk her over so she wouldn't miss it, which was a really thoughtful touch. We ordered the queso dip during happy hour, and as usual, Yard House's happy hour menu did not disappoint. It's generous, well-priced, and hard to go wrong with. Overall, an outstanding experience driven by truly great staff. read more

We recently dined in for the first time. Yard House has been in Bakersfield for about 5yrs and even though I probably pass this place almost everyday I never made it out til recently. I didn't know what to expect when coming in because I figured it's gonna be a similar atmosphere like the neighboring restaurants and it was. They have music playing overhead kind of loud, but I'm all for it. They're rocking out to a lot of 90s R&B so I can definitely get down with that . Service was okay. The staff was nice, we didn't interact with staff a whole lot, but our experience was still great. The restaurant is clean which is a plus! I also didn't really know the types of food on their menu, but I did notice they have a lot of Asian menu items which was up my alley haha. My husband always tells me I always pick Asian restaurants hence the fact that I'm Asian, but it's not true.... I like all kinds of places. I definitely wanna try other things on their menu. So far from everything I have tried, I haven't eaten anything I didn't like. I'm actually impressed I have liked everything here which is very rare. I plan to come back and try other items here. If you haven't tried them out yet, I recommend you check them out for yourself! :-) read more

I had a good time ! I came late so they had a late night happy hour. $2 off my cocktail. They have an amazing happy hour though Mon-fri 3-6. I got the ahi tuna appetizer . It was delicious. I really enjoyed the sauce and I like that they had ginger and tomato garnish under it and some radish pieces. I thought it was overall really good and I like the thickness of it. It wasn't too thick. It wasn't too thin and then I also ordered the lavender lemon drops and that was a pretty good drink. It comes with Tito's vodka, which I like and it was a nice refreshing cocktail. My son ordered the sliders and for a kids portion. It was pretty big came with french fries pickles and he seems to like them. read more

We stopped by on a Sunday evening with a group of six. Ruby, the hostess, warmly greeted us and added us to the waitlist. She estimated a 30-minute wait for a table, which was quite accurate. After a few minutes Kirsten greeted us. She informed us that our server was busy but they worked as a team so she would get us started. Kirsten was incredibly friendly and promptly brought our drinks. Not long afterwards Holly, our server, arrived to take our food orders. She was just as pleasant and efficient. We kicked things off with the spicy edamame, which is a must for our group. Perfect level of heat, super flavorful, and gone way too fast. I opted for a smoked old fashioned cocktail, which is my go-to drink when I'm not trying one of their many draft beers. For my main course, I decided to try the bleu and bacon burger. It was exactly as described. The meat was cooked to my desired temperature, and the bacon was crispy. The only downside was that my vegetarian friend ordered Gardein wings but received chicken instead. This has unfortunately happened to her multiple times at this restaurant. She now makes me try her food first whenever we dine here to ensure she's doesn't get meat on accident. All that said, solid service, great drinks, and food that keeps us coming back. Just hoping they tighten things up a bit on the vegetarian orders. read more

Yard House continues to meet our expectations with food, service, and mood. Treated my family to a nice dinner and were told that it would be a 15 minute wait which isn't bad at all! However, to our surprise, our table was ready within a minute or so. It was Oktoberfest and so I urged my brother to try one of the Oktoberfest beers! He was able to try most of them and liked the Weigen Festbier! For food we got the fried calamari and bbq wings for my mom, whiskey glazed salmon for myself, and the 8 oz steak for my brother. My mom loved how breaded and fresh the calamari was! The whiskey glazed salmon also tasted really good, it was soft and flavorful! My brother, who goes crazy for steak, mentioned that while the flavor profile was good - the steak was a little dry. However, the mashed potatoes on both of our plates were so so good! read more

My partner and I came on a weekend evening for dinner and to catch the game. It was very crowded and lively inside, but we decided to sit at the bar. I got the Thai grilled pork chop and we shared the onion ring tower. The onion rings were delicious - very crispy outside and super flavorful. The Thai pork chop was well cooked and tasted great, especially for the calories. Overall, we had a great experience and will be back for the next game. read more

I always loved Yard House I think it's the best option to go to if you're deciding where to eat near riverwalk. I've always had excellent customer service , especially today our server was so sweet and patient with us and she even brought us refills on drinks even when we didn't ask, brought multiple dipping sauces for us to try, and always checked on us but not too much. The food is amazing. Their Mac and cheese is so flavorful. Their alcoholic drinks are always top tier. I just have nothing negative to say. Even paying is easy for not only us but the servers as well. Will always keep coming back. read more

Alright, so by now I hope you all know flavor and me, We go together. Tell those folks we go together. So, if you didn't know, now you know, and that's why Yard House of Bakersfield only gets 4 stars from Me. A couple of the dishes We ordered fell a bit short on that for Me. Today My husband and I were on a mission to catch and enjoy their happy hour. His bonus Mother kept telling us of this very big chicken nacho they serve for only $8.50. When We arrived 20 minutes to 6, the place was packed and there was a wait list. My oh so ever concerned husband didn't think we would get seated in time to fulfill our mission. However, I know that the bar is open seating, so after I confirmed this with the staff, of whom all were awesome. From the host, to the many bartenders Who tended to us, to the manager, to a waitress just passing by who grabbed me extra soy ginger sauce for the poke nachos(my favorite) The Hubs ordered. Every staff member I interacted with gets 5 stars from Me. Along with the chicken and poke nachos My husband ordered the sliders and fries. Now Mother was not overreacting regarding the quantity of food Yard House serves. My husband got 5 sliders and a rather large basket of French fries for under $8. These and the chicken nachos get 3.5 stars, due to their lack of flavor, the meat on the nachos-delish. However, the beans on the nachos tasted like they were served straight from the can with no doctoring up, and the guacamole looked delicious, but failed to offer that kick; the sliders need some special sauce and grilled onion added to them and they could very likely become a 5. The poke nachos earns 5 stars off top. The wonton chips and ahi tuna- super fresh, all of the sauces on those- bomb. All I added was extra soy ginger sauce. We will be back again to try their pizzas and a few other items off their massive happy hour menu. read more

It's not very often you get to wind down for some Yard House mid week, so when my daughter wanted to treat me, I gladly accepted. Even on a random Wednesday Yard House was still alive, fortunately my daughter had arrived a bit earlier so we didn't have to wait to be seated. Our waiter was all business, but he was polite. Being that I was at Yard House, of course I would be unable to continue the evening without first starting out with an order of the spicy garlic edamame Such a simple appetizer but always very tasty. For my meal I thought I would try a new item on the menu, the Twisted Fettuccine Alfredo. I also made a small alteration and added chicken and shrimp. Everything was cooked really well. The pasta, shrimp and chicken were all of good quality, but I felt as if the flavor just wasn't there. Very neutral and rather plain. To end the night, I of course could not leave without a final order of the cheesecake brûlée, which was fantastic. read more

Came here for dinner and there wasn't much a wait on a Monday after work. The iced water tasted.. odd. It had a weird after taste - hard to describe. The food itself (My fave Truffle Cheeseburger) was good. I asked for a lettuce wrap and it came with a bun :(.. so I was a bit disappointed. The bathroom was horrible. One stall wasnt flushed properly. Two stalls had no toilet paper, so there was only working stall with toilet paper. read more

Six of us ladies come through Yard House for our individual birthdays together and have enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. We love the food and we love sharing the dishes, family style. Every waiter and waitress have been very outstanding in their service for us and their personalities were wonderful. We sit outside in the open restaurant area even if it's very hot. We just enjoy ourselves together there. Inside is quite noisy and the music is very loud. However, being outside has worked out well for us to be able to have wonderful conversation over outstanding food. read more

Tip! Join the wait list on the app for minimal waiting. I was going in the middle of Happy Hour, joined the waitlist from my house(takes 23 min to get there) table was waiting for us as soon as we walked in, and there were so many people waiting. Its giving Landrys member vibes... Anyway. Went for the half price appetizers and pizza amd of course the gluten free options for the kiddo. Our waitress name was Lyric, how precious is that? I asked her for the best pizza and she suggested the Mushroom Truffle! Lyric is the goat! It was an amazing pizza. The crust was thin and crisp, mushrooms delicious and that truffle sauce, chefs kiss. The poke nachos always hits, freshest ingredients, never disappoints. The hummus was nice and flavorful but I would ask for the pitas to maybe be a but more crisp as they seemed a bit more soft and chewy than I like. The kid loves her gluten free burger and fries and of course a 1.99 ice cream sunday. She's a sucker for ice cream. The atmosphere waa lively with a mix of people from all walks of life. Music and videos played, sports were playing. There really is something for everyone. I volunteer to Yardhouse with you anytime!! read more

Easy dinning at yard house. We sat on the patio which wasn't too hot and all the tvs were on the game so we were happy about that. We ordered a turkey club, sweet potato fries, chicken tenders with kale Caesar salad and had a beer each and then shared a final beer. Our server was a little slow because there was a BIG party in our section, we were fine taking it easy. These days we aren't in a rush eating out if we have a babysitter and the toddler isn't with us. We like taking out time and enjoying our meal. Dave Ramsey says restaurants are entertainment which I kind of agree with, we are paying for food, ambiance, and entertainment especially at big chains like yard house where you go to watch a game. We enjoy yard house for being exactly that! An entertainment experience. Food is good, beer is good, atmosphere is good! read more

Ambiance way too noisy. On the positive side good loud music. Super busy night for a Thursday. Food-muscato wine (yum). Sweet just how I like it. The whiskey salmon was ok. It had flavor but a little dry. Mashed potatoes were hot and flavorful. Baby carrots were a bit undercooked- too firm and hard. The broccoli was flavorful and good. Service- Carter was very busy. There was quiet a few people on a Thursday night. He was informative about the questions we had on some of the dishes. read more

Who can't love a decent chain restaurant? I have never been let down at this place, the four times I've visited this location. From apps, drinks, and entrees this place doesn't disappoint. The wait time has never been astronomical and they do it the right way, with a longer estimated wait time, with an actual wait time of 15-20 minutes earlier. The place is noisy. Just know, any place that serves beer in the measurement of feet, it's going to be louder than most. They have a GIANT beer selection, with a selection as if you're at a fine dining establishment with that giant wine list. They also have a full bar, with a decent drink selection for that as well. Good they're all over the place. They have a huge starter menu, to go along with that beer menu. They travel across the globe, when it comes to their dining options. I've sadly haven't strayed from my Korean BBQ Cheesesteak the last two times. I don't think they have a bad menu item. To circle back around; the restaurant is clean and well maintained, the menu items for drinks and food is vast but easily manageable and the prices are fair for market value. Overall a great place to stop in and have a drink or bring the family or a large group for lunch or dinner. Great addition to the Bakersfield area. read more

I visited Yard House for the first time. I went during the weekend around 4:30 and it was pretty busy (45-60min wait). They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The food was good, I ordered a burger. It was cooked perfectly, but it did seem a little small for the price. The apps were also good. Onion rings were cooked perfectly and had a nice crunch. The cheese curds were a little greasy. They also have a nice happy hour with specials on drinks and apps. read more

New Year's Day was so busy but I put us on the waitlist before arriving which made our wait super short. Service was outstanding considering how busy it was. We ordered the calamari and queso dip as appetizers. The calamari was a hot, very good. The queso dip was blah, nothing exciting. I ordered the vampire tacos with rice and beans and it was good. I get these quite a bit when I come here. I don't come here often but when I do it's pretty dependable. read more

Pretty outstanding selection of beer! Wife had a tasty Mezcal cocktail called "It's Mezmerizing", very tasty for chain restaurant cocktails. We had the Shittake Garlic Noodles, Poke Stack, Spicy Crispy Chicken sandwich and tacos Vampire style. It's was all very good - service was super fast. Our wait said 30 minutes, but they had us seated in 10. This one was also better than the Santana Row one which is surprising because it's Bakersfield. The wings are good - I'm not a vegan, but the Gardein Vegan wings are worth trying! We joked that this is what the Cheesecake Factory and BJ's strive to be. Super consistent, excellent chain. Will 100% be back to this location. read more
