    Amazing cake for dessert
    Emily C.

    What a fun spot! They have a crazy huge selection of beer on tap and you can order them in what looks like mile high glasses. I went for dinner with a friend in a Friday night and the place was packed! Despite the crowds the service was excellent! Opting for a healthy option I had the Poke salad, which was delicious, while my friend had the Bacon burger. I was surprised by the Oreo cookie crumble for a belated birthday celebration and it was divine! It's a great spot to gather with friends. I appreciated that they offered NA beer but they should expand their selection and I would love to see Noughty AF sparking and still wines on the menu.

    We've been to Yard House many times whenever my husband and I have something to celebrate or a special event. We truly love the atmosphere and the service here. The staff are always friendly, polite, and very professional. The restaurant itself is beautiful ,spacious, stylish, and very comfortable. We usually order the fried calamari, burgers, steak, and mac & cheese for our 4-year-old daughter. Everything is always delicious, fresh, and juicy. There was just one small issue today , previously the mac & cheese included chicken, but this time it didn't. Maybe the order was entered differently or the receipt was changed? Just something we noticed. Overall, we still had a great experience and will definitely keep coming back!

    Taco Flight
    Stephanie T.

    There's plenty of space to be seated but it can be a bit noisy. You order from the table. As well as pay from it. The staff were nice but not very attentive. They also took my order wrong. I got the flight of tacos, which was pretty good.

    HH Chicken Nachos
    Klariza F.

    I usually have a good time here for HH. I think it was just too busy. My friend was waiting in line to be seated. It didn't take long to be seated, but that was the first time I've ever waited to be seated. We got a booth. I like getting a booth. It's just so comfortably dark. We came during HH so we got a beer, espresso martini, chicken nachos, and poke nachos. My espresso martini was good, but they put too much cinnamon and nutmeg on top. It made me choke a bit. The chicken nachos are always great and such a great price during HH. I was a little upset about the poke nachos coming later. I'm so use to them coming at the same time as the chicken nachos that I thought it was strange. They were making so much of them all together is what happened. I was disappointed by the taste of it. It just tasted different to me and I won't be ordering it next time. Great HH price, but I would like to try other food next time.

    Garage mango Hefeweizen
    Perla R.

    Great service at the bar seating area, I ordered the garage mango hefeweizen and it's good very fruity but not too sweet tasting. We started with an order of cheese curds those were crunchy & yummy, I also ordered a 3 taco plate with the birria, crispy Korean chicken & vampire carnitas it came with spicy rice and pinto beans it was delicious. We also tried the bbq bacon cheddar burger it was very good!

    Happy hour menu
    Toby P.

    I really like spot for happy hour. Who doesn't like half off select appetizers and discounted beverages? It's nice to have a shaded patio to enjoy cold drinks and food on a hot day. I always get the poke nachos with sauce and Serranos on the side. It's been a bit since I've been and while the dish size has remained the same the amount of ahi has decreased (hopefully, just this visit). We also tried the lettuce wrap, which we agreed was good too. The Miguel's queso with chips & tortillas was good, but our least favorite of the 3. I'll definitely be back for the happy hour with friends as we all enjoyed it.

    First time at this location and I enjoyed our waiter. Super friendly and helpful. We got the onion rings and lemon pepper wings for starters... the lemon pepper wings!!! O M G!! They were so yummy! I was sad we were sharing! ...haha. We all got the 20oz Steak and it was so tender. The food was really good at this location. I went with my coworkers after work lunch and we really enjoyed the atmosphere at this location. Definitely a great spot for beers and watching sports too.

    Located front and center at The Shoppes at Carlsbad, the Yard House is my go-to for a chill time, great food, and tasty cocktails. I'm never ever disappointed with the service. The staff is always friendly. There's something for everyone to enjoy for lunch, dinner, happy hour and late night - known for its extensive menu. It's also known as the world's largest selection of draft beer. Their Happy Hour is the BESTEST...must say the happiest hours of my day :-) Do I need to say more? Just come to the Yard!!

    Fried Calamari, Shiitake Garlic Noodles, Poke Nachos, Chicken Tortilla Soup

    I go to this Yard House with my friends all the time. I love that there's a really diverse menu. As an appetizer lover, I can always find something here that I want.

    Oreo- Sundae
    Mella P.

    This was such a great afternoon lunch spot! We sat outside on the patio and the weather made it even better. The service was timely and attentive, and our server Nelly was upbeat and genuinely friendly. We ordered the garlic noodles, traditional BBQ wings, and the Oreo cookie dessert. The wings came out perfectly, just as delicious as they looked! And the dessert was easily one of the best I've had in a while. I'd come back again for all of it.

    Beer-Battered Fish & Chips
    Dmitri R.

    Came here with my familiy amd loved it! We were able to get a table right away and the servers were nice and took our drink order quickly. We were sat at a booth which was pretty spacious as well. We ordered a few appetizers and were blown away with the size and flavor. I recommend getting the Korean Chili wings if you like spice! Our main courses were also delicious and well sized. We had to get togo containers for the excess. I definately recommend coming here.

    Dreaa was our server and she was so sweet and attentive. We were watching the soccer game and she took great care of us. Highly recommend coming here to watch a game!!

    This is a good spot later at night when many other places are closed. They also have a late night happy hour which is good. We usually sit at the bar and receive excellent service. Their tomato soup is one of my favorites.

I wanted to go there for the longest especially for Happy Hour. When I got up there, I was amazed at the ocean views and pleasantly surprised it wasn't crowded during this beauuutiful late afternoon.

After our experience, we were so happy we found Nick's as we visit the area frequently and will be back many more times. The restaurant seemed to be the busiest and chicest in the area with a great crowd and environment. Our drinks were top notch as was all of our food. The tuna tartare was one of the best we've had - and I'm obsessed with tuna tartare. Their chopped salad was also super delicious as was my fish sandwich and my husband's entree as well. The service was polished and the whole are very walkable and safe. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Nick's and can't wait for our next visit.

Jacob was our server, and he was fantastic. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. Later, Kaitlyn brought out our butter cake, and what started as a quick interaction turned into one of those unexpected conversations that give you a different perspective and refresh that we all need every once in a while. The food was just as impressive. We started with the Spinach & Artichoke Dip, which was the perfect appetizer. For dinner, we ordered the Center Cut Filet, Cha Cha's Spicy Rigatoni, and the Buttermilk Fried Chicken. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and something we'd happily order again. If you're thinking about dessert, do yourself a favor and order the butter cake. It absolutely lives up to the hype. What stood out most, though, was the people. Working in a restaurant can be overstimulating and exhausting. Everyone we interacted with was kind and welcoming. It's easy to enjoy a great meal, but it's the people who make you want to come back. From the service to the food to the atmosphere, the entire team is doing an incredible job. Thank you to Jacob, Kaitlyn, the manager, kitchen staff, and everyone else who made our evening so enjoyable. We'll definitely be back.
