I have to say, this place is pretty darn great! The only negative is how freaking loud it is in there. It was difficult to talk over the music. Now, for the positives: The service. Top notch, from the hostesses to the wait staff. The food. Good portions and good flavor. The drink selection. I had a sour that was phenomenal. The pricing. Won't drain your wallet. I cannot wait to return! read more

I tried The new Yard House in East Lake. We were seated pretty quickly but it took a long time for our waitress to come to our table. Not sure if they want everyone to order from the little machine on the table. I personally like when they come by and bring water and take your order. To me it's much more personable. They weren't super busy so not sure what the protocol is. We stopped for a quick snack & a drink. The Poke Nachos & Lavender Lemon Drop. Both were delicious. Parking is great here and on this day we didn't have to wait to be seated. Otherwise it's super busy. They also have a good Happy Hour. read more

Came here with my date. We were seated immediately and helped by our server Christian. Christian was very helpful and talkative, but entertaining. Thank you for all your help! We were suggested to use the table app for ordering, which I understand. But we like that more personal touch. Drinks were good, our food came fast, and not overpriced. We were happy campers. Thank you for a great start to our night out. I have been to many Yardhouse's, and on this one, I appreciate the privacy. Good visit, I'll be back with my other girlfriend. read more

Came here shortly after opening on a weekday, it was not busy at all throughout our time there. we were welcomed and seated right away. a decent size menu. We ordered the tower of onion rings, brussels sprouts, chicken nachos, and a cheddar bacon burger. the onion rings had a tasty beer batter coating, it was good but seemed to loose alot of the crunch rather quickly. the brussels sprouts were delicious! also with a lovely flavor and perfectly caramelized. chicken nachos were a generous portion with lots of toppings. and the burger was juicy, flavorful, and w a nice char. would love to come back during happy our to try more of their appetizers. it's a large restaurant, great for groups. comfortable atmosphere. lots of drinks on the menu to choose from. our staff was attentive and friendly. read more

Yard House continues to deliver where it counts -- massive draft selection, energetic atmosphere, and consistently well-executed elevated bar fare. We kicked things off with a beer flight (Honey Blonde, Belgian White, Golden Pilsner). Pours were fresh with proper head retention and served at ideal temperature -- a strong start. Paired it with the Poke Nachos (Poke Chips), which were layered thoughtfully rather than piled high. Crisp wonton chips held up under diced ahi, creamy sauce, scallions, cilantro, and a drizzle that added just enough richness without overwhelming the fish. Clean flavor, good texture contrast, and balanced acidity. The Mushroom Pizza delivered solid umami depth from roasted mushrooms over a nicely charred crust. Even cheese melt, structured base, and green onion brightness to cut through the richness. Crust had chew with crisp edges -- properly baked. The Whiskey Burger + Cheddar was the standout. Well-seared patty cooked to temp, sharp cheddar melted evenly, and a whiskey glaze that added controlled sweetness without masking the beef. The toasted brioche bun held together, glossy and lightly crisped. Fries were golden, crisp exterior with fluffy interior. Pickles on the side provided needed acidity. Service was attentive without hovering, and food timing was dialed in. High-volume operation with disciplined execution. Not flashy -- just consistent. Reliable 4.0. read more

Who doesn't like Yardhouse?! I will say that I've only been able to get a good seat when we go as soon as the open or anytime before 1pm. Anything time after that, good luck. Place gets so packed it's crazy. I have very little patience so if the wait is more than 15 minutes, I'll just go somewhere else. The food variety is great! There are so many options! So whatever you decide to get, I'm sure it will be great! The environment is the Yardhouse theme: yacht rock and beer. No one outmatches their beer selection, so I can't even write about that. Just come here with patience if you wanna come after 3pm and be ready to drink some beer. read more

A welcome addition to the Otay Ranch Mall food scene. Typically don't give chains a 5 but they're really doing a great job with the opening of this spot. Lots of food options, great happy hour deals. We've been here a few times and each time the bartenders are super friendly and the food comes out super quick. Love their HH chicken nachos, wings, and whiskey glazed salmon. Lots of Hazy IPAs to choose from and the vibe is always on point. Def enjoy the energy here over the Cheesecake Factory bar area. And a shoutout to Katie who did a phenomenal job taking care of us last night! read more

This location replaced the Victoria's Secret and is across from The Cheesecake Factory. Parking is best in the lot behind. Came here on a Friday for Happy Hour for a party of 2 and it took about 35-40mins to get seated; they utilize a virtual waitlist where they text your phone. The inside is spacious but very loud in comparison to other locations I've been to, the layout almost feels like 1 huge booth. The staff are nice and the food came out quickly, and everything tasted great! The only downside was how long the wait was. I'm sure it's due to being their newest location, so I would recommend arriving earlier in the day. read more

Saturday 1;30pm for NFL playoffs. Couple dudes at the bar. Busy and attentive staff. Plenty of beer selections, all available. Pints, pub glass, and half yards for sizes. We ordered sliders and chicken nachos. Skies were tasty but dry. Not mad at it with such large menu. Fries that come with sliders were deliciously salty and fresh. A couple thick sliced pickles compliment the dish. Chicken nachos are tasty. Spread out on large plate so every chip has a little sumthin sumthin. Scoops of sour cream and guacamole plopped in center. read more

Customer service, vibe, food all amazing. I like to start with the Customer service, my server Dre J was amazing! He was polite, helpful, fast & very attentive, we never had a drink empty to the bottom before giving us a refill, he caught it every time & his patience with my brother in law which can be picky was great, my bro in law was impressed & happy with his service too. What really impressed me was the work ethic & speed of the General Manager Jason W Carr. I saw this man cleaning tables, putting tables together, serving drinks, answering the phones & with a positive, professional attitude, The whole staff was moving fast & very friendly & we appreciated considering it was a busy Sunday night. Now for the food, kudos to the cooks, food came out fast, fresh & delicious. Best Sliders I've ever had, true story. Pizza was very good as well, that Margarita pizza is a must. Onion rings with Chipotle sauce was a hit & don't sleep on their chips & Guac, the Guac is on point! Nephew said his burger the classic was filling & real good. Over all we loved all our food & can't wait to come back, especially during Happy Hours! Dre J, Jason & Yard House squad keep up the great work & see you soon! read more

We had our Christmas luncheon here and everything was wonderful. Cybil, our server, was amazing and took great care of our party of 9. The place isn't too big but they did have a lot of tables and a large bar area. The appetizers were delicious and the service was outstanding from start to finish. It did get busy after 2pm, likely due to people being on vacation and doing their holiday shopping, but everything still ran smoothly. We all enjoyed our lunch and had a great time. read more

Yard House - Menu - New American Near Me - Chula Vista, California

We went here for my wife's birthday. We have been to the Yardhouse in Vegas many times. We arrive during a weekday around 530 and the place is backed. A line going out the door! We checked in online and said there was an hour wait. When we get there they said there is a 90 min wait but we should get in within 30 mins or so. We also check in at Cheesecake Factory just in case lol. Yard house texted us in 25 mins that are table was ready. We got a great table in the middle. Our server is MJ and he is very nice and energetic. My wife orders the Lobstah garlic noodleThe photo looked amazing. I ordered the Tennessee hot chicken sandwich. I also ordered the grand patron Margarita and she ordered Pina spritz mocktail. The wait wasn't too bad knowing the place was at capacity. Within 15 mins we had our food. The chicken sandwich was amazing. Probably one of the best ones I've ever had. It was both crispy on the outside and very tender and juicy on the inside. It had the right amount of heat to it as well. My wife's Lobstah garlic noodles was another. Story. Where was the Lobstah?! It was just noodles and shrimp with a couple small pieces of Lobstah that should have been thrown back in the ocean near Maine. I've seen similar complaints about the dish in other reviews. The noodles and shrimp were good but this coulda used a lot more Lobstah. We had the same dish last year for her birthday in Gaslamp and it was loaded with Lobstah and a bit cheaper. We took away 1 star fit that dish. She wished she ordered the Tenn hot chicken sandwich instead. The mocktail. Was excellent and had a great presentation for all you Instagram lovers. My Grand Margarita was excellent as well. Again MJ was awesome he brought out a birthday cake for my wife. Overall it was a great experience. The only issue was the Lobstah dish which was over $30 with just a couple small pieces. I included a stock photo of what it looks like on the menu for comparison. My sandwich was very reasonably priced at $16 and was amazing The atmosphere was amazing and we will be back for sure read more

Met my good friend here for her birthday dinner. She recommended this new location and it was her birthday so yay! I got on their website and joined their "wait list" before arriving. I walked in about 5 mins prior to the "wait list" time and checked in with the hostess. She was friendly and happy to see me. The place was PACKED! There were about 20 people outside waiting for a table and another 15 inside with me waiting. I heard the hostesses telling new arrivers that the wait would be 45 min to 1 hour. I am so glad that I reserved a spot! We were seated within 5 mins of arriving by a hostess. Our server, Christian, was very customer service oriented. He gave us suggestions and he answered all of our questions when we asked for recommendations. Our server Christian checked on us occasionally and he was very good about showing us how to order on the table kiosk for self ordering. This is a wonderful device and feature! If we decide to add things to our order, we can just do or from the table. I ordered: Cobb Salad with Salmon added and my friend ordered the Honey Crusted Salmon Dinner. She ordered a couple of cocktails while we were there and they were delicious she said. I had the Melon Spicy Mocktail, which was DELICIOUS too! The dessert was a Brookie brownie topped with vanilla ice cream, and IT WAS SO DECADENT! The Birthday dessert was also the Brookie brownie with a candle and a nice HBD msg in cocoa powder on the plate. I had an excellent experience here. I normally do not come to chain restaurants but this visit at this nee location was definitely a game changer for me. Thanks! read more

Went here a second time on a busy Saturday night, and I would say I enjoyed it more than my first visit, which was right after they first opened. The service is great and the food is pretty good. But the beer and ambiance are just okay. Likes: Poke Nachos, online Waitlist, great service, beer sampler Dislikes: Amber beer (flat!), slightly slippery floor, no Apple TV (no MLS games) Overall, I really want this place to do well, so I recommend checking it out. But I'm not a fan of hoppy beers and was really upset I couldn't watch SDFC in their inaugural playoff run. read more

Really happy a location near home opened up! Went here during happy hour (3-6pm M-F) twice and had such a great experience both times. One of the times was during opening week and when we saw a long line at 5pm, we had a feeling we would miss it. However, we got seated in about 10 mins, ordered on the iPAD and got all our food in less than 10 mins. Same thing with the second time--we went at around 4pm, got seated immediately, our server was very attentive, and we got our food so quickly. I'm honestly so impressed with happy hour here from the quality of the food, the servings, the price (half off), and just how efficient it's always been. My favorite so far from the HHmenu is the poke nachos! Delicious, fresh, and a great serving size for under $10. Honestly, a top tier place for HH since you can get so much food without breaking the bank. Highly recommend! read more

Yard House - Poke Nachos - New American Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I have dined at the Yard House Otay Ranch location a few times since it opened. The service has been attentive and the food consistently delicious. This time, we stopped in on a Tuesday for Happy Hour. Happy Hour includes 1/2 off most of their apps, $2 off beer and cocktails and $3 off 9 oz wine. We ordered the three cheese pizza, the boneless buffalo wings, poke nachos and a Cobb salad. The pizza has a thinner crust and was cooked to perfection, especially if you like it a little crispy. It was a little light on sauce.. Next time I will ask for extra. I have had the poke nachos several times. It's a generous portion with lots of fish on each wonton chip. The Cobb salad was also a generous portion with ample toppings. The wings were also good.. you get to choose two sauces. We chose buffalo and spicy Korean. Both tasty. The only con for me is it is a bit loud. The music makes for a fun, lively atmosphere. But it could be turned down a few notches so you can hear your dining mates easier. Tip: join the wait list online before you head over, especially during peak times. read more

Great happy hour selections! Service was fast & friendly. The restaurant seems pretty busy around HH time which is a good thing. We were still able to be seated right away with plenty of seating throughout. We ordered brussels sprouts that had a sweet slightly spicy tang, poke nachos which were a bit on the salty side but still good, chicken tenders with garlic Parmesan fries. I also ordered their soju cocktail which was refreshing and tasty. Overall a great experience and definitely a place to get away for a quick bite. read more

First time coming here to celebrate a friend's birthday. First of all the service was great. Our waitress was very attentive and polite even though the place was packed. Let them know if you are celebrating something special for a complimentary dessert. Thanks to our server for letting us know. It's a spacious venue. A lot of tables but it is too open. It gets pretty loud. A lot of parking available. But plan ahead since it gets busy especially on weekends. The food was great, its well seasoned and the portion is big. Food came in still hot which is a big plus. Just be aware if you're like me who is not a big fan of spicy food that some of their pasta dish was fiery. Looking forward to coming back in here to try out the other dish and hopefully their cocktails. read more

Yard House - Whiskey glazed Salmon on Mashed Potato with baby broccoli and carrots. - New American Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I'm so glad Yard House opened at this mall, which is close to home. I've been here twice so far for happy hour, and both times were great! The service is friendly, prompt and attentive. The food comes out hot and fast. They haven't even been open very long and they have a smooth running operation. HH food is 50% off! So far; I've had the poke nachos (my fave), truffle mushroom pizza (good but can use more truffle), blackened ahi (good but we realize blackened is not our thing), and the queso dip (yum!). All drinks are $2-3 off during HH. I've enjoyed the espresso martini and the lavender drop. One issue I've encountered on one of my visits is Hubby's beer was a bit delayed and the wrong beer, but he kept it as it was a pub vs pint size and drinkable. :) And there is a little inconsistency in portions (poke on nachos first vs 2nd time). We'll def be back to try more from their extensive menu. read more

Came here for their soft opening and it was an awesome experience! Got to meet upper management and their regional manager who came to support this location. Our server was very attentive and was able to answer any questions. We frequent the Mission Valley location often so we're familiar with their menu and drink concept. Food was good and came out quickly. Happy hour here is one of the best! I know yard house is going to do well. Their food is great, ambiance is amazing and always very lovely. They have a lot of alcohol and food selection. What's not to love? read more

I have been to other yard house locations and this the first location I don't have much complaints. I feel like a big chain restaurants like this can be hit or miss by how the workers are, to the food and drinks can be, and how busy it can be to keep up with the incoming customers. I end up coming on a Sunday evening rush. I checked online if they had a wait before leaving the house and there was no wait for a small party of 3. But once arriving to the area of the restaurant, saw many people waiting inside and outside so I checked the online and they had a wait of 15-25 minutes. And it only took us 10 minutes to get to the location from my place. It is nice that you can put your name on the waitlist through your phone especially if you are barely driving to the restaurant. The hostess at the front was very nice and checked me in. The wait time was pretty accurate. Our server, I believe his name was Brian. He was awesome and very persistent even though how busy it was. Food was good and end up getting mostly appetizers. We got the calamari, sliders, shiitake garlic noodles, and poke nachos. I highly recommend the noodles and poke nachos. read more

Walked in and waited and waited at the bar for help. No one greeted me or even acknowledged that I was here. Then, about 8 minutes later, a bartender slid a menu towards me - didn't say a word. I was ready to order a simple glass of Sapporo and Ahi Poke Stack. So, I waited ever so patiently. Another 8 minutes go my and I stopped a young man in a white short. It was the manager, Guadalupe. I told him as I was about to leave that no one came to take my order for almost 20 minutes. He kindly apologized and helped me. I stayed oblige him and was very thankful for his amazing service. read more

I was excited they opened this restaurant near my home finally, Since the last time I went to Yard House I loved but loved my meal. I was very disappointed when I noticed their menu was different now. I ordered a chicken tortilla soup, it was definitely not what I was expecting but I was pleasantly surprised and it was the only thing I liked. Also ordered a mushroom pizza and their house cheesesteak sandwich with shaved ribeye meat. The meat was greasy and salty and the sandwich was so plain. The truffle mushroom pizza was greasy too and the bread and crust were so doughy, not all the way done. I was not happy with the service either. Had to wait so long for the waiter, I do not like flagging down waiters but after waiting over 30 minutes I had to flag down another waiter and asked for boxes to go. I paid at the table using their self paying kiosk. Our waiter never came back. read more

Yard House - Sesame-Crusted Ahi - New American Near Me - Chula Vista, California

We stopped by Yard House Eastlake after the Judas Priest concert on Saturday night to relax and enjoy a couple of cocktails. We were served our drinks and had just started sipping them when a girl who worked there, possibly a manager, came behind the bar and loudly announced that everyone had five minutes to finish whatever they had and get out. I was honestly shocked by the way she said it. Her tone was rude, abrupt, and completely inconsiderate. I only had a drink, so it wasn't a huge issue for me personally, but I looked to my left and saw people who had just been served two plates of food and she told them the same thing! It was unbelievable. The way she handled the situation instantly killed the mood for everyone, guests and staff alike. She literally took the smiles off everyone's faces. That's not how you treat paying customers under any circumstances. I wish I had gotten her name, but between trying to finish my drink, use the restroom, and be out the door within five minutes, there wasn't exactly time to ask. Same reason why I have no pictures to go with this review. I will say that our bartender Mauro was nice and professional, too bad that other employee probably ruined his tips because of her actions at close out time. Shameful behavior. I've never been treated so rudely in a restaurant, and I will never go back to this location. I absolutely do not recommend supporting a business that allows its staff to treat customers this way. read more
