Yard House is a fun, cool place to enjoy sports or catch up with friends. The ambiance is fun with dim lighting and they even have a large screen for sports! Great place for a beer and sport in my opinion. For food options, that's where it gets a bit shaky. I've never loved Yard House food since it's on the more expensive end, and the quantity and flavor just don't match price. I'm never really full leaving this place. I typically stay away from the apps, but have settled on the tasty pork chop - which gives me a good balance of protein and veggies. Just note, if you're a big eater you won't be full. The portion looks decent, but I'm not sure what it is that just keeps me hungry here. The chop was perfectly cooked and I loved the glaze. The veggies are good, but nothing stellar. I also opted to try the bread pudding, which was not my favorite. There was something off putting about the flavor like if the bread was a bit old...? Service was great with the server doing frequent checks. Great service and they even have a mobile pad to quickly checkout!

6.5/10 Got the seared ahi. I was a little skeptical about getting fish and a yard house, but I can say the flavor, sauce, and freshness of the fish were good. It did have a slightly tough texture which I was a little confused about, but it wasn't fishy at all which is a key indicator for fresh fish. Portion size was also really small in comparison to every other dish they have which was a little disappointing as well.

I visited this restaurant with six relatives on a Saturday night and they seated us very quickly. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is a typical pub/sports bar chain restaurant with dark wood decor. The food was pretty good. Nothing really stood out as particularly good or bad. Everything was pretty good.

Fried Calamari

Happy Hour! Monday to Friday; 3pm-6pm; 1/2 off select apps and pizza. Hope that was a good attention grabber. Came here without realizing there was happy hour so we loaded up on some appetizers! We definitely got more than we can eat but left overs are OK! Server was super friendly! Got sat down quick and food came out fast. Apps Calamari - nicely seasoned 9/10 Chicken Nachos - BIG portion size and loaded. 10/10 Boneless Wings - nothing too special; we got plain and lemon pepper. Tasted like wings 8/10 Entrees Spicy Beef Garlic Noodle - New item but SUPER SALTY. I see what they're trying to envision but less salt would be better and wait for your noodles to try up first before stir frying it. 6/10 Bone In Ribeye - cooked perfectly to medium and I enjoyed it with broccolini as a side. 10/10 Public parking available across the street. Valet is available next to the restaurant.

I visited this location 3 times before deciding on the review, I did not want to fall by one impression only and instead to be able to review consistency in quality, service and ambiance. Quality: Food quality is great, I tried different hamburgers every time and all of them are worth to try. They have special nachos that are BOMB! Service: They shown excellent customer service, today for example we went for 3rd time this never happened before but they took longer to take the order and the manager showed up apologizing about the oversight on there end as well as the assigned waiter I believe that level of professionalism and accountability is what restaurants need onsite; leaders that know how to deal with people and make the service a good experience for the customer. Great job on that! The whole experience deserves 10 starts because at end not matter how good the food is service also matters a LOT. Ambiance: Light is tune down kinda bar style which I believe is the purpose, I like it. I personally like the barrels with blue light very original. Highly recommend the dessert attached. The name was S'MORES" BROWNIE MELTDOWN, to DIE for! Heaven in earth for sure!

Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Sunday B.

Popped in for lunch and had no problem getting seated. Our server was prompt and friendly. (Wish I could remember hour servers name) I got the chicken lettuce wraps and they were really tasty and the chicken was super juicy. It has small cubes of tofu combined with the chicken, green onions, wonton cup, sweet chili, spicy peanut vinaigrette.

Loved this place! Locating parking for this place is very easy to find, if you don't locate street parking they have multiple parking structures in the area since it's a busy street-shopping center. A Friday afternoon got us about an hour wait to get seated but thankfully one of our group members found an online reservation that allowed us to arrive with our name already on the list. We waited a total of 20 min after arriving and got seated at a comfy booth. It was a big location with plenty of seating on the inside. The service was great, our server was very attentive and patient with our group as it was some of groups first visit (including mine)! I ordered the shrimp and chicken pad thai and it was so yummy. I'd definitely return to order something new as their menu has a huge variety!

I've been able to come here for birthday celebrations and just to hang out, and every time the hospitality is awesome. The food is excellent and you really can't go wrong with anything you order. Hats off to all my peeps here at the Yard House in Brea, California - the whole team always takes great care of us. Stop by, you're going to love it, and Griffith is the best!

Firecracker shrimp

Recently stopped by my old stomping ground, Yard House in Brea, for happy hour. HH runs Monday-Friday from 3-6 PM for drinks and appetizers. We arrived around 5:40 PM and it was already packed. Unfortunately, we weren't seated until 6:05 PM, so we missed the happy hour pricing. We stayed anyway and ordered my usual favorites: ahi poke nachos, sliders, and the onion ring tower. As always, the ahi poke nachos and sliders were absolutely delicious. I could eat those every day! We also tried the firecracker shrimp for the first time. It's served over crispy rice with plump shrimp and garnishes and looks great presentation-wise, but the flavor fell flat. The sauce definitely needs improvement. Parking includes valet for a fee and limited free self-parking. Service was excellent: friendly, fast, and our drinks were always refilled. After happy hour, the crowd eased up a bit, but both the bar and dining area stayed busy. Restrooms were clean and fully stocked. Our total came out to $74 for all the food plus two refillable drinks, without the happy hour discount. Would've been about 50% less if we'd been seated before 6 PM. Pro tip: get there early and beat the happy hour rush--- it's worth it ;)

First time here Tuesday for a relatives birthday. We came at for happy hour,which is until 6pm everyday and then starts again at 10pm. The service was great!We were greeted by a friendly warm welcoming host named Alexis who quickly sat us and was giving us her recommendations. We had the truffle mushroom pizza, cheese pizza, chicken nachos, wings, and chicken lettuce wraps. We all just opted to share the happy hour menu and it was about 7 of us. We all ate and were full and had leftovers to take home! The appetizers and pizza are definitely shareable for at least 5 or more depending on appetite. I was happy to see they had my favorite huckleberry beer and framboise beer. Will definitely be back for happy hour!

Chicken strips and brussel sprouts
Kimberly F.

Yard house was yummy! Came here on a Sunday evening and it was busy but the service was still quick. Lots of options on the menu, but I went with an appetizer as my meal- poke nachos. They were super yummy and decently sized/priced. The wonton chips were super tasty and the flavors were delicious! We parked across the street in the garage parking and walked over. The area is super cute and I'd definitely go back for a nice meal.

We came on a Saturday night for dinner and it was busy but we were able to get seated quickly. They have a menu outside which you can look at while you wait for your table. Once inside we ordered the poke nachos (my fav!), truffle mushroom pizza (a must try!), onion rings, fish and chips, and chicken tortilla soup. The poke nachos were delicious but the wonton chips tasted like they were fried in old oil because it had a bitter taste to them. The poke tasted fresh. The truffle mushroom pizza was delicious with a rich truffle flavor profile. It's really rich and best shared with some friends. The onion rings were crispy but again the oil I think they're using is old. The fish and chips were okay but the portions were nice with really big pieces of fish. The chicken tortilla soup was rich and creamy but too salty for my taste. Our server was amazing and constantly checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed.

Chicken Bowl
Rod A.

Stopped by for dinner to watch the NCAA men's national championship before the LA Kings game. It was nice as we were seated rather quickly. Ordered the Queso Dip which came out quickly and was amazing. Comes with chips and warm tortillas. Perfect appetizer. We ordered the chicken bowl and a Pepper Jack Burger. Chicken bowl was excellent and had pepper flakes in it. Finished everything on the plate. My son loved the burger. The only downside, quite a few beers were out which was surprising. The staff was awesome especially with how crowded it was.

Came for a girls lunch date earlier to this weekend and this spot did not disappoint!…read more THE SERVICE: 5/5 - Quick, friendly, accommodating, and our waiter made a real effort to engage in conversation with us. The FOOD: 4.5/5 | Drinks: 5/5 Off the appetizers, we had the pork belly bites and dirty fries! First dish came with a long hot pepper, several mini tortillas, and 2 dipping sauces. The pork was crunchy on the outside and soft+succulent on the inside. I can see myself doubling up on this appetizer the next time I come. Dirty fries were great; it came with a generous amount of pickled onions - providing a really nice contrast to the savoriness of our meal. Our waiter graciously accommodated our request to have the egg on the side. Off the entrée/taco menu, my friend ordered the Korean tacos and I got the Ensenada (fish) tacos. But you can also order the Ensenada tacos with shrimp. These were delicious, I would have loved a little more lime crema to go with the fish - but not a big deal. I got a Watermelon Margarita. I wasn't expecting it to be HUGE, but it was the perfect amount considering how much food we as a pair ordered. My friend ordered the La Toxica table side cocktail and one additional mango cocktail. Table side cocktail was a whole show and my friend really enjoyed it. We had a great lunch at Tempo Cantina. I can't wait to try more of their bar menu, maybe even at night when the restaurant is lively

You have to be careful not to pass it since there is only one entrance to the parking lot , if you pass the entrance you will have to make a U-turn and come back.

The place is really big and has a lot of seating. It was quite busy. I ordered a Spanish omelette and my son ordered the blueberry pancakes. My omelette was ok, it had way too much peppers and I didn't see the cheese , it comes with a side so I went with country potato with onions and bell peppers. I only wish that it included some kind of toast. My son's pancakes were ok, they are only topped with blueberries we thought the blueberries were going to be inside the batter or inside the pancake. He had to add a lot of syrup to make them soft. The one thing I will say is that the house coffee is very good. It's Lavazza coffee which is really good. I wouldn't mind coming back and trying some other options or coming back for lunch or happy hour.

For some reason the refinery spend their 40 minutes cooking the hell out of my burger, and they could even put the tooth pick in the middle of my burger, like is it that hard to stab my burger in the middle. I honestly don't know how The Refinery inside the Hilton in Brea manages to stay open. This was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. First off, the place looks nice when you walk in, but that's where the positives end. The service was painfully slow -- not the "busy restaurant" kind of slow, but the "did anyone remember we're here?" kind. We waited forever just to get water, and it somehow took even longer for the food. Then the food actually showed up... and wow. Bland, overpriced, and somehow still cold. It tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp since last week. For a restaurant attached to a Hilton, I expected at least basic quality, but this felt like cafeteria food with steakhouse prices. To make things worse, the staff acted like helping customers was a huge inconvenience. No check-ins, no refills, no effort. Just vibes of "please eat and leave." Between the slow service, disappointing food, and ridiculous prices, this place feels like a tourist trap hiding in a hotel lobby. Save your money and eat literally anywhere else in Brea. Even a gas station snack run would be a better experience.
