Vicki M.

First time at this Yard House and great experience! This space is huge with really cool decor especially the wall murals all over. Very quirky and artsy! We came here on a Saturday night to watch the FiFA game and have dinner. We had just stopped by Copley Square and taken some cool photos by the official tricolor football there on the green. I got my usual spicy jambalaya and it was great as always - that's the nice thing about chains you know you'll get consistency! The hubs got a salad with salmon and he enjoyed it as well. We ordered one of the mocktails and it was nice. Service was friendly. We'll be back sometime!

It was great seeing a place that has a wide variety of great food options. This is the 2nd time I've had edamame that tastes so good ! I'm going to try to find one in MY state. It was a great experience. I can't wait to do it again!

Virtual Ordering menu
Robert S.

Stopped in here for their Happy Hour. The prices looked great on the menu and the selection was also very good. Many items were 50% off. When I got seated by the host, I did not get any server coming for a while. I then noticed the virtual ordering menu Ipad on the table, so I decided to order my Happy Hour item...Chicken Lettuce Wraps. I waited for a bit and still no one ever came to say anything to me. A bit later someone from the kitchen came with my item and placed it on the table. I asked if I could get a glass of water, he said, later....he never came back. I noticed a small Bell icon on the iPad, so I pressed it to get some assistance....that red light flashed for over 10 minutes and no one came to ask if I needed something. I finally flagged someone far away to get me a water..... When it was time to pay, I used the virtual iPad but it did not work, so I approached the bar area and asked if someone could run my card. The lady asked me who was your server...I said No One. I finally got a server to run my card. The lettuce wrap was salty and forgettable. It came on a fried wonton and some Bibb lettuce leaves with two sauces...not bad, but not great either...

Food was fine but at the price point it's not above any of the great local spots near backbay Boston area. Owned by Darden, a major restaurant group. You can tell it's in that category of big business.

Blackened Ahi Sashimi

My parent came in here with me to try out their food after we browsed around Copley Place. It turned out that we came in right when their happy hour time started. We ordered Blackened Ahi Sashimi, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Poké Nachos and the Truffle Mushroom Pizza. The food overall was good! Out of everything, the pizza was definitely our favorite. Everything else ranged from decent to fine in terms of taste. The brussel sprouts were good, but after a while, the taste of eating it became a bit much, as the remaining ones in the bowl were either salty or a bit too burnt. The ahi sashimi was fine, nothing bad about the taste or fish's quality. The Poke Nachos were okay. I felt that the spicy sauce they put on top of the chips were too much. After eating a few bites of the nachos as time passed, the sauce became overwhelming. I think the nachos could've been better for the two of us if the sauce was instead placed to the side in a dipping cup, so that way we could control the amount of sauce we wanted. Our service was great, no complaints there. The built structure of this place is fine, the music was a bit loud playing in the background though. The seatings were all evenly spaced out well, so I didn't feel cramped at all. Service was great! No complaints there.

Orange Chicken

Sports bar nestled at the 2nd floor intersection of the Copley Marriott, Copley Mall and the Prudential. Great space to dine or have a couple drinks while not missing out on any live sports action. Servers are accommodating and attentive. There's also a touchpad on the table if you want to put in an order in between the servers' rounds. Food is reasonably good and well-presented. The orange chicken rice bowl was really good, we enjoyed our selection of tacos (Jorean chicken and beer battered fish taco were great, and love that the birria tacos came with a tiny saucepan of jus), and ahi salad was refreshing. For a lower carb option, for the taco mix and match ( Korean chicken and Beer-Battered Fish Tacos), our server was able to sub in roasted veggies instead of rice and beans, and bib lettuce wraps instead of tortilla shells- satisfying without the guilt.

KBBQ steak
Lizzy C.

Yard House was conveniently located in the Copley Marriott on the 2nd floor. After arriving to Boston late in the evening we got a late night meal. We only had about a 10 minute wait for a table which was great considering the host told us it was a 3 hour wait all day long as this was the end point for the Boston Marathon. It made it really neat to be able to see alot of the runners here at the finish place. My friend & I both ended up ordering the Korean BBQ steak and subbing the fries for mashed potatoes. We started with cheese curds & wings, both were mediocre. Cheese curds were good but were a bit on the soggy side - I am also a bit spoiled as the ones we serve back home are garlic crusted so these lacked in flavor in comparison. We got two types of wings - buffalo & sweet chili. The sweet chili ones were better than the regular buffalo wings, nothing too special about these. The flavor on the steak was delicious and the potatoes were top notch. I highly recommend those mashed potatoes they were the best part of the meal. We were glad the restaurant is open late and had a wide variety of items.

Yard House is solid! A great option for large groups as their menus caters to everyone including vegans and their expansive drafts and cocktails are enough to keep everyone satisfied. Our experience was a later evening so it took a minute to flag down a server but they quickly attempted to rectify the situation and were pretty on top of it after that.

Poke Salad
Lena L.

Convenient location right in Copley square. They have multiple huge TV screens for sports and a good selection for both food and drinks. The poke salad was surprisingly very fresh and tasty!

Blue Bleu Cheese & Bacon Burger with Sweet Potato Fries
Len L.

Located in the Marriot Copley lobby, we got sat in the eating section which was vastly larger compared to the bar section. The menu had a nice selection to choose from and decided on gourmet burgers. I got the blue cheese burger with $1 upgrade to sweet potato fries. The burger was perfect for a medium-rare. Service was great and my glass of water never was dry. The area was loud but manageable. Overall the food was great and I would come back again. Cost is average for the food and area.

Kale Brussels Caesar salad and Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich
Kristen S.

Came here again last night as we are staying in the hotel and have a daily dining credit. Taylor E was our waitress and she demonstrated excellent customer service. I ordered fish tacos that were crazy spicy, couldn't eat them, and she was very courteous about it and understood. I really appreciate people who do their best and are friendly even when things don't go as planned.

10 Crispy Traditional Wings with Buffalo Sauces
William H.

The food they serve is more of a bar food than restaurant food. But their menu is similar to TGIF or Fridays. We tried it as we had hotel credit to burn. It was packed when we went for dinner on Tuesday night. There was some private event along with MLB all stars and WNBA is in town. That made service very slow. Including ordering and getting refills. We ordered Buffalo Wings, Guac and Chips, Turkey BLT, and Fish and Chips. The Guac and chips were good as it tasted like Chipotle's Guac. The Turkey BLT probably the best of the bunch. Pile high with Turkey and a good amount of avocado and bacon. Both the wings and the fish and chips were a disappointment. Wings were not crispy at all and could be straight out of a frozen bag of buffalo wings. The fish were too heavily battered and oily. The tartar sauce tasted like out of a bottle from your local grocery store. Overall, nothing memorable. Maybe their drinks are good so these are just bar food.

Stacked Turkey Club
Melanie T.

I frequently eat at Yard House before heading over to Back Bay station to catch a train home. I really enjoy the food and they always have pretty good service. Nice selection of beer, appetizers and a good happy hour. Be aware it's a loud sports bar so if you're looking for somewhere quiet don't stop here! One of my favorite sandwiches is the stacked turkey club. It's easily enough for two people and it never disappoints.

We arrived for our whirlwind 1 day Boston day with a few things planned. The Wig Shop was a spot I had earmarked as a maybe. On the way to Boston by train from New York, I read an article of great bars in all of America, and the Wig Shop had made their list. I showed my gal as we were in route to Boston, and we agreed that Karma was leading us there. I checked about a reservation, but ended up going over early to try and beat the walk in crowd. That worked out great, we had almost no wait. The place was full. There were alot of people enjoying the food menu, which we didn't plan on since we had dinner reservations elsewhere for later. But we got a couple of drinks. There are many types of speakeasies. The Wig Shop is one of favorite kinds, classy. The drinks were alcohol forward, with elegant presentations. It was perfect. It was nice that the universe pointed us towards this great Boston spot.

This place was awesome!!!…read more If you are a Gen X'er, and love great cocktails, you will love this place! So we are from out of town; Texas, to be exact, and we were in Boston on vacation. We were looking for a place we could get some drinks and appetizers, and maybe watch some sports. A person in our group found this place online, so we gave it a try. We loved it! The 80s & 90s decor, as well as the 80s & 90s music they were playing made it an instant hit for our Gen X group. Every single song that was played was on my personal playlist, so we sang along and danced at our table to the tunes that took us back in time. There were some early 2000s songs played, too, but all songs played were songs we know and love. So needless to say, we loved the music!! Also, the drinks...oh my, the drinks. They were so, so good! Some in our group had the Adult Caprisun, including myself. It was so tasty, and served in an actual pouch, which brought me back to my 80s childhood. Another in our group ordered the Pink Flamingo which came with a little inflatable pink flamingo that you could take home with you. We noticed that the drinks were just perfect, too; not too strong with alcohol, and not watered down, either. The food was okay. It's bar food, so it's not going to knock your socks off or anything, but it hits the spot if you are drinking and hanging with friends. Our server was good. She was attentive to our needs and took good care of us. It was interesting to me that we, a group of age 50 somethings, were the oldest among the clientele, as everyone else was probably in their 20s or early 30s, but we didn't care. We had a great time! The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars is because someone in our group wanted to watch the Red Sox game, and apparently it was on Apple TV that night and the bar didn't have Apple TV.

The atmosphere is very casual and low-key, perfect for grabbing drinks and a bite without any pretense. I ordered a flatbread listed as a Margarita, but it was more like a cheese pizza than a true Margarita. It was still decent, just not what I expected. The online menu did not match what was available at the restaurant, which made ordering a little confusing. On the drink side, the wine selection was underwhelming, but the beer list was solid, and the cocktail menu stood out. They clearly put more focus on mixed drinks. This is not a fine dining destination, but it works well for what it is, a laid-back bar with better-than-average food and a great drink program. I rate it 3.5 stars, but will round up to 4 for the strong service and cocktails. It is a good choice if you're looking for a casual spot downtown with good energy.

We made friends with a super cool guy sitting next to us at the bar while having lunch at Select…read moreOyster Bar who recommended this place. He said it's the best bar in Boston. So of course we had to see for ourselves! This is an upscale bar and the decor looks like a sitting library. They take reservations but we didn't have any so be prepared to take your chances at the bar - even on a weekday during lunchtime. We ended up standing by the bar and ordered two old fashion's. Oh my goodness they were SO GOOD. Expensive but worth it. Eventually a seat at the bar did open up so one of us sat and the other stood. We only stayed for one drink but the food people were ordering looked good. And the other drinks looked good too. The bartenders were also friendly. I would say the attire is mixed but mostly smart casual for the daytime. There was a couple visiting their daughter in college who were casually dressed so I really don't think it matters. At least not for the daytime. Money is good whether you're wearing yoga pants or a nice dress .

I said "I'm okay with that." he sighed "okay." and finally let me in. Not a nice greeting. I went in and waited at the gorgeous bar, just as cozy as I had hoped and got a drink. I had a negroni and it was meh. I decided to leave because this was not the experience I was hoping for. Cozy setting, Great location, Dismissive rude staff ruined the whole thing. Busy is one thing but rudeness? Not okay.
