I went with my family for a Friday night drinks and we really enjoyed it. The food was good, the drinks were good too. The place is a little bit louder so if you want a quiet place to talk this is not. Good place to enjoy with friends. read more

I just ate here .. and wow !!! Great food , great drinks!! If you come ask for coda, sweetest person you'll meet. He attends me and my husband super good and nice! He's so great! I love eating here , they make me comfortable and happy ! read more

This could be someone's favorite steak house, it was a favorite of mine in the past. During my last visit, I experienced a very inattentive waiter, which is common and for many reasons. The most important, I made a huge mistake ordering the fish street tacos, the tacos were mediocre, the beans an rice though I would not feed to anyone and claim it as something I was proud to call Mexican food. Yard House, send a representative chef to come and eat at my home, bring a note book and learn hot to make beans and rice. Please stop claiming that rice and beans to be Mexican, at least go visit El Pollo Loco, that is some thing worth imitating. Sincerely, Octavio M. Capilla 10/23/2018 read more

Would give it 5 stars, but it's just so dern expensive... They used to have happy hour all night on Monday nights during football season, so bf and I really exploited that. We would get an appetizer (spinach cheese dip which came with these gigantic pita pieces, which are really crispy and good), and an entree (I like the chicken lettuce wrap, and their Poke stake is good too, I also like their seared ahi salad, bf gets sliders which come with good fries), and then desert (a chocolate souffle, usually) and we would each get a beer or two (their chocolate stout melts stress away). Anyway, good place to chill, a little more "upscale" than Bj's, and higher prices. read more

Beer menu is to DIE for. Half price beers and several half price apps and pizzas during happy hour. Even tried some of the house brews, and loved the House Pale Ale. What is possibly not to like about that? Very extensive menu, which is great, but also makes you wonder what they really do well. Had the calamari, and a grilled cheese sandwich with the organic tomato bisque, and both were good, but also next to impossible to screw up. I was happy. Hubby had a FABULOUS tasting chicken tortilla soup, which was very creamy, so not on my personal list of things to eat, but it did have a really great spice to it. Service was a little slow, but it was a big sports night, so they may have not staffed up to the level they should have. I'll check it out again for other food offering. And BEER. Always, always BEER. read more

Came here on a Thursday night with a gigantic party of 17 for a birthday and they were very accommodating. The service was good and they were friendly without too much waiting for small things like water and an extra chair (etc). My girlfriend and I ordered the BBQ Bacon and Cheese Hamburger and the Korean BBQ Beef with Rice. The hamburger was above average, but nothing better than what you can get at Chili's or BJ's. The Korean BBQ Beef with Rice was funky and white-washed that was drenched in Teriyaki sauce. Other than that, the place is a decently priced and nice place to be. Of course, I may be a bit biased because it was my girlfriend's 19th birthday :) read more

Met a friend here for apps and drinks. The restaurant was relatively empty, but very spacious. Seems like it would be great for a group or to wtch a game. We'll start with the food.... the wings were flavorless, the sliders were okay but not worth the price, and my friend confirmed that her tomato-basil bisque was Vons because she buys it from there all the time (fortunately, she likes Vons food). Three strikes. Huge beer menu, including all of my favorites and some creative combinations of brews.It was pretty hard to flag down waitstaff when we needed them. This place didn't seem to have the same energy as the Downtown LA one or others I'd been to. I'd come back for drinks or to watch a game, but I'd probably avoid the appetizers. oh, wait! HUGE parking lot right out back! That got it its 3rd star! read more

I had the delicious MISO GLAZED SEA BASS over jasmine rice, bok choy, carrots and edamame. The sea bass was very tender and the vegetables were cooked to perfection! I will ask for less sauce next time I visit because it made the dish a bit salty. My husband enjoyed the NEW YORK STEAK & FRIES (14oz cut) with green beans and garlic mashed potatoes. The medium cooked steak was flavorful and tender. The garlic mashed potatoes were the best! My husband also tried the Organic Tomato Bisque soup, which was out of this world! I tried the clam chowder, but couldn't stop sampling my husband's Tomato Bisque soup. Next time, I know what to order! We celebrated with some Deschutes Black Butte Porter and Firestone Walker's Reserve! We spent over $80 for the two meals, two soups, and two beers. We drove down the street for some Banana Cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory ~ yummy! read more

Came here for my friend's birthday and it was whatevers. We went during happy hour and the food and drinks were cheap, but service just wasn't that great. When ordering drinks for me and my friend (Birthday boy) i was told i couldn't order more than one drink... We also had to wait in between drinks before being able to purchase another round which was quite irritating. Ohh well First time here and it wasn't good, don't think i'll be back read more

I love it for the service. I wish I got the waiter's name to give him some brownie points! The manager was real professional too. read more

Only two problems with this place. Okay, three. Location. My California Roll. My Gin and club soda. 1.) Its in downtown Brea, so parking sucks. It's not Yard House's fault, but just thought that I should put that out there for those who aren't familiar with the area. 2.) I always order the huge California Roll for my appetizer. But at this location, I had to send it back. The first one the waitress brought out was terrible. I eat this all the time so I know how it's supposed to be. That night it wasn't right. The rice was undercooked, basically hard. I believe that because this is a popular item, the cooks pre-make them, stick them in the fridge and serve them when ordered. 3.) I got my usual gin and club soda. It was weak as hell. It was more like lots of club soda with a small splash of gin. I wasn't trying to get wasted but it was impossible for me to get a buzz of that kiddie drink. That was not a DRANK. I called the waitress over(by now she probably thinks I'm a bitch by now but I don't care) and told her about my drink. She told me that there is a standard amount of alcohol allowed. She was nice and offered me a shot of gin to spike my drink at my own cost of course. I accepted her offer but knowing this about their mixed drinks, I will order beer from there from now on. Other than that, its Yard House, the experience will be typical of a chain bar and grill. read more

Parking: Plenty of free parking in the parking structure across the street. Food: great offerings Service: the staff here are pros at splitting bills because of the nearby University. read more

Total fun party atmosphere to have dinner at, and I love the music selection they play! I caught myself singing to almost every one while we were there. Lots of TV screens to look at while waiting at your table and our server was very friendly and suggested some great food items to order. Although there's a Mac and Cheese item on the kids menu you should really go with their other Mac and Cheese item on the regular menu (and get the half order) because the ingredients in it seem more worth it.. Made with bacon & mushrooms. I did also ask them to add broccoli too. Gotta make sure there's veggies, have to make sure it gets eaten. Also, super delicious Cuban Dip sandwich and Sea Bass. While on the way out we also bought a couple of t-shirts, the price is very reasonable and shirts are made by American Apparel (at least that's what the salesgirl told us). The material is also soft. read more

Love all of their gardein options. I also really enjoyed the scallops. So delicious read more

Went here for lunch and it was alright. Definitely a chill atmosphere, and a good fancy-ish place. Delicious food, and pricey, as expected. We reserved ahead of time and they accommodated our large group well. Great service, as they kept refilling my water (I drink a lot), and everything just all around nice. read more

Great food needs Liquor spirits Menu for anyone who wish to see what selection they have not just Draft beer & Domestic beer menu's

Everything is good but the service...we are bored and the bartenders are staring at us right now. We are eating spinach dip (really good) Meiomi Pinot (great) and a Patron Margarita (great). Love Cats is playing in the restaurant...extra cool! :-). Would be better if their bartenders interacted with their patrons a little more read more

I've had several sub-par experiences at Yard House locations all across Southern California. Thankfully, my latest outing to the Brea spot was not one to add to that sad list. There was no wait - and my wife, baby, and I were seated promptly, greeted attentively, and even when our server was a bit too busy to come right back to take our order... the manager did it! Kudos to the manager on duty for helping out. Everything came out expeditiously and was tasty. We enjoyed happy hour - believe it or not is was a HAPPY HOUR. No complaints - we'll be back. read more

Heather our waitress was amazing! Attentive and very friendly. There needs to be more Heather waitresses out there. I'm disappointed the Yard House has discontinued the dark beer Golden Draak which I hear is now available at Vons (Bevmo too I'm sure). There is a light beer which tastes exactly like fruity pebbles (seriously) that is awesome. Visit during happy hour (4-6) and save some $$. read more

Yard house is my favorite restaurant and my fiancé isn't a big fan but I've been wanting to go for a while so he agreed to go for our anniversary. Unfortunately it was the worst experience I've ever had at this location. After being sat the server got our orders in within like 15 minutes so that was no problem at all. Our server got switched to another person right after our orders got put in and it took forever to get our drinks refilled. We had been sitting and waiting for a pretty long time for our orders as well. Probably about 45 minutes. I got the salmon and my fiancé got the steak with shrimp. His shrimp was super cold but the rest of his meal was okay. My potatoes had been sitting for so long under the heater that they had formed a hard layer on top and the baby broccoli was so burnt that I had trouble chewing it. We were pretty hungry at that point so my fiancé just ate his meal but I waited for the server and it took her like 10 minutes to come check on us after the food was brought to us. By the time she was able to replace my sides my fiancé was already done with his dinner so I just got a to go box. I hadn't been back for over a year so I had been looking forward to dinner so I was pretty disappointed in the whole thing. The server was super nice but I was disappointed in the lack of service we had received. I'm not sure if it's because we are a young couple or what but as a former server I know that was definitely not something that should have happened. read more

I usually go to Yard House for their Happy Hour - very good food for very reasonable price, as all their appetizers are 50% off if you go there during the right time. Their poki nachos and chicken nachos are amazing. Mind you, they don't skimp out on the portion just because they are half-priced appetizers - they are still full size. I think it would be pretty hard to find any deal better than this. Their main food is somewhat mediocre, though. Not bad, but not memorable - just your typical American restaurant food. It is also very conveniently located, right next to the comedy club, and right across from the downtown Brea, so it would also make a great date spot. read more

Great place. I love the bit open spaces. The waiter we had was very nice. We were famished and parched and this was the place to go for sure.! Then after we headed to Brea Improv next door. Totally recommend it. read more

This location is amazing. From the staff all the way up to the management. Very attentive to the needs of the customer. I brought my wife for a little get away, and i was not dissapointed. We had a lobster dip that was served with pita bread and chips which was spectacular. For our entree we had the rib eye with mashed potatoes and it was so perfectly cooked that the meat would just cause an explosion of flavor in your mouth. My wife had a pomegranate margarita which was really good as well. We will be definately be coming back to this location. The manager bernardo made sure that my special dinner was perfect, and our server james was really good too. He was constantly coming around to see if we needed anything, and or take any dirty plates away. read more

Came in for a late dinner on a Monday night around 9pm. We were craving pancakes, but settled for Yardhouse. No wait. We were seated right away. Our server Emery was awesome! Super personable, very attentive and service was so quick. He cleared the table, got us refills without us having to ask, checked on us throughout the entire visit. We'll definitely be back! read more

came here for drinks for a friends birthday after dinner. very friendly staff, ordered calamari it came out pretty soggy, drinks are pretty good, but a tad bit sweet, definitely did the job though lol. read more

As soon as our food started to arrive at our table, we knew something was off. The buffalo wings, which we ordered dry (with the sauce on the side) and extra crispy, was glistening in oil and light in color, as if it was partially cooked. Chicken fresh out of the fryer is not supposed to look shiny, feel rubbery, and room temperature to the touch. Before the guy could slip away, I showed it to him. He promised to have them re-fire it and then took off before I realized we didn't have any utensils or napkins to eat the rest of our food. We had to flag down our waitress. Later, food guy comes back with the rest of our food, which included the roast beef dip and fries. There's no ketchup on the table so we had to flag down our waitress again. We also noticed that the sandwich was pretty cold, like it had sat under the heat lamp for some time. When they finally brought back the wings, they were golden in color, but not crispy like what you would get at Wing Stop, Hooters, etc. For something that had just been "refired," it was not even steaming hot. What the heck happened? These are standard items on their menus and for some reason, they couldn't get it right tonight. We figured they got a new cook... When the manager happened to stop by and asked how our food was, we couldn't help but to mutter, OK, and expected him to systematically move onto the next table. To our surprise, he actually wanted to know what happened, so we told him. The food at the Yard House, no matter which location, is always consistent - except this time. I asked him if they got a new cook and although he didn't verbally confirm it, his demeanor was pretty telling and suggested that they did. Anyways, he took both dishes off our bill and for that, we were grateful.. I would have rated this experience a 1-star had it not been for the manager, who actually cared about our concerns. For that, I give it another star. read more

Service: Extremes. 1) First, the waitress kept checking on our table excessively. 2) Then, when it came time to get the bill, said waitress was nowhere in sight. We spent a good 10 mins trying to flag someone down, which was quite difficult since the place was deserted and/or the sparse people who were present were not paying attention to us. Food: Parmesan basil fries were super seasoned to the point that you literally had a pile of parmesan and basil collecting at the bottom of the basket. Prices: Happy Hour = 1/2 off appetizers and drinks. Parking: Same private lot as the one behind Old Navy. Bottom line: Go elsewhere for your Happy Hour fix. read more

Always try to stop to dine at the Yard House when in Brea. The food is great and the service is very attentive. Love that they have so many vegan Gardein options. Tried the Boneless Buffalo "Chickn" wings today and they didn't disappoint. read more

Nice vibe, maybe a bit too loud. Nothing to bad. Penne Chicken was fine, above average but nothing out of the ordinary. The BBQ Ribs were okey-cooked and had a little to little BBQ sauce but was accompanied by sauce on the side. Sweet potato fries were delicious but not very warm. The creamed corn could have been better. The brownie was just fine regarding the texture of brownie and the ice cream. However what really pulled the grades down on this place was the Creme Brûlée. It had a banana on top with sugar respectively on top of it, which i just dont think was okey for that dessert. The bottom had chocolate of some sort which also didn't help. What i will accept is that i did not pay attention to the menu stating the presence of bananas and chocolate and therefore i'm a little generous with my point deductions. read more

Best place to eat and drink atmosphere, and service is always great im a regular OLD 43 drink is the drink of choice!!

I came here again recently for happy hour, i.e. Monday Night Football! Appetizers and drinks 50% off = awesome deal. Most of their appetizers are so-so: the firecracker wings were drenched in the sauce, the Hawaiian poke stack was not that good (just sort of plain) , but the calamari was surprisingly decent. I also had their House Hef for the first time which was really good; I like theirs the best! Of course, I love Yard House for its burgers so I had the pepper crusted burger, but instead of Gorgonzola, I requested pepper jack (per the waitress' suggestion). I didn't know the burgers there could be even better! So juicy and creamy and satisfying, I'm drooling thinking about it. I still haven't tried dessert so that will be for next time. Overall, a good experience but without the happy hour, might be considered a little pricey. read more

Yardhouse is a great place to get a drink or get together with friends, but when you just want a regular dinner, have you sat down and just had a real meal there? One of my favorites on the menu is their dry rub babyback ribs. The meat is tender and falls right off the bone. It goes great with their mac and cheese, and of course, their beer. read more

Depends on the time you go when it comes to getting timely service. Other than that, the food and drinks are good.

Great atmosphere for a few brews with lifelong friends. Came here on a busy Friday night to celebrate a friend's birthday and everyone had a great time. Servers were great and their customer service went beyond expected. The only mishap was that I received a beer that I didn't order. Apparently, the waitress misheard me but she was able to get me the right beer even after I drank a few sips...and then some ;) Overall, great place to go for drinks in Brea. read more

We come to Yard House regularly and love their happy hour and steaks! Their service is always great, however, today I feel like our server, Mauna, has gone above and beyond. We got here 6 min until happy hour ended and she made sure to ring in our drinks and apps before it was over. Mauna was very friendly and kind, and checked up on us frequently. She truly went above and beyond! read more

This place is so mediocre for the price. Marinara sauce on deviled eggs is wack, wings came out with barely any sauce and were cold, and the crab dip is legitimately SO DRY. The pita that came out of it might as well been called leather. I don't think I'll be a back for a while. They need to focus on their food a little more and not just be chatting at laughing the whole shift. read more
