Stopped by here before our concert in Cincinnati. We ordered the yard house lobster crab artichoke dip for an appetizer. It came with fresh tortilla chips and pita bread. OMG that was the best dip ever! I don't know why I've never ordered it before at Yard House. Definitely wanted seconds. For my entrée I ordered the NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN. It came with fried sage, sweet potato pancakes, pickles, ranch dressing, honey hot sauce. I was not impressed. It was MEH! I asked for sweet tea but of course being in the north they didn't have it (only unsweet tea and offered to bring out sugar packets. No sir not the same lol). My friend ordered the fish and chips and he had a few alcoholic beverages. He stated that his meal was MEH as well. The star of the meal and the 4 stars go to that lobster crab artichoke dip for sure!! Our server was also GREAT!! read more

I love to have first visits when it comes to restaurants and I can honestly say I had never been to Yardhouse before yesterday. After eating there I am wondering why the heck we don't have one in Louisville?! The closest Yardhouse location is about two hours away from Louisville in downtown Cincinnati. Too. Far. Away. But if we never get one, I'm still willing to make the drive to Cincinnati. That's how much I enjoyed this restaurant. I checked out the menu ahead of time (because I always do) and was pleased to find that they had a wide variety of options. Usually when you have a restaurant with such a diverse menu, they don't do any of it particularly well. This is not the case at Yardhouse: they did all of it well. Let me backtrack a little because I have to give a shout-out to the atmosphere. It reminded me of a club, but HUGE. It sits right on the river, which is a really lovely view! The music selection was mid to late 80's-mid 90's hits and most of the tvs were playing sports while a few were playing the music video of whatever song was on. Looks upscale and the bar is expansive. The options for draft beer seemed endless (there was even a separate room I could see from where I was seated and it was filled with kegs) and their cocktail menu had multiple things on it I was eager to try, which is rare. It was hard to choose. For drinks we ordered the Sunset Sangria (I can't remember all of what was in it but it definitely had cherry, citrus, and Mindori) and a vegan pineapple beer that I can't remember the name of. Both delicious and I don't even like beer. The apps we ordered cheese curds (they came with a hot honey sauce and a horseradish sauce) and the firecracker shrimp. At the recommendation of our awesome waitress I mixed the hot honey and horse radish to dip my cheese curds in and that was super good. The firecracker shrimp was awesome- crispy, sweet, and a little spicy. It was served on a circle of crispy grilled rice. Eat as one bite and it's great! For entrees we got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with Parmesan truffle fries and the Korean bbq Philly cheesesteak. Both were phenomenal. Even though my cheesesteak had a bunch of ingredients on it that would've made it soggy, the bread was still fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The chicken on the Nashville hot chicken sandwich was both crispy and juicy and traveled well (we took half of it home and reheated it in the air fryer). I can honestly say I didn't eat a thing here that wasn't good. I'd make the two hour trip again. Admittedly it was a little pricey but I'm willing to pay for good food and Yardhouse has something for everyone. read more

We have also had great food any other time we have eaten here but tonight was less than stellar. The appetizer was not cooked , we sent it back. I order a filet medium -it was so dry it was hard to chew. I could not cut my carrots and the potatoes were cold. read more

I have not been back to the Yard House in probably two years or more. Not because I stopped liking it, but because there are so many new places the check out here in Cincinnati. We came with a large group of friends on a Saturday evening. While the wait for a table was long, it seemingly past by quickly as we were sampling the vast beverage choices. It was overwhelming at first as to what to choose, but I just usually pick a beer and go with it. The bar tenders actually know their beers on tap and could offer up any advise if you had a question. I was expecting just the ordinary bar food. I was impressed with the menu. I didn't order an entree, and just decided to get an appetizer. The ahi tuna nachos were absolutely delicious! The service was fairly good for the size of our party. The cold beers kept coming and that's all I cared about...hey it's Saturday night with no kids! read more

Enjoyed the food and how open the space is. Lots of room in between bar tables and booths. I liked how the bar was right in the center of the restaurant. Just a really great layout and great customer service from our server. I Ordered: Guacamole and veggies for the appetizer DF/GF - Yummy! Kale & Romaine Salad DF/GF - This was a fantastic salad!!! and the dressing (which I cannot remember now), was a great added taste! BBQ Bacon Burger DF/GF - It's always hard to come by a GF bun, but their's was pretty good! I miss cheese, but it's alright..everything else tasted delicious. read more

Been going here for a while for pick up and it's been getting worse and worse. Forgetting sauces, this time forgot the chicken on a BBQ CHICKEN salad. It always seems rushed even with nobody at a table. read more

I was FLOORED by my experience here!! We came around 11 am on a Friday and it wasn't busy at all so we were able to quickly get seated outside. Danielle was our waitress and she was PHENOMENAL!! Our friend wasn't sure if she'd like a cider that she was planning to order so she brought her mini samplers of a couple for her to try. We also came at a lucky time where they were testing new menu items and got a smoked old fashioned and a firecracker shrimp over fried rice appetizer for free. On top of that, service was quick and food was delicious. Extremely happy with our visit here!! read more

Food drinks and location are amazing, my sever Arnie was the absolute best!! We would definitely stop again before a game!

The tacos were some of the best I've had! The fries could have used more salt. We also got the brookie for dessert which was very tasty! Very friendly staff and great seating! read more

Great Beers and great service always at Yard House. Every location rocks. Thank you for being great, Yard House!!

Absolutely ridiculous the amount of time waiting for a table at 3 pm with 4/5ths of the bar/restaurant empty. Poor management and planning to not have a better handle on service and staffing before a reds game. Quite an embarrassing experience bringing family from Ireland to experience the banks. Unless you enjoy waiting and being aggravated when showing guests the city I would highly suggest looking somewhere else. It may have been easier to stomach the wait if the receptionists were a bit more welcoming and not as dismissive. Very disappointing and sickening experience from someone who loves their city. read more

Really appreciate that they have a decent gluten sensitive menu that's safe for my fiancé who has celiac. The first time I was there (a week prior with a friend) we had a fantastic waitress and I wish I had gotten her name! The most recent time with my fiancé, our waitress was okay but not very attentive or quick to serve. The food was good though and it worked for what we wanted! read more

I try to avoid "chains" when traveling because I prefer trying local places but we were in a hurry and this was down the street from the stadium. We each had a salad and split the onion ring tower. Everything was great. Food was excellent. Sat outside in perfect weather. Service was also excellent. She even plugged my phone into her service station for me. Got in and out of there in time for the game and had great food. That's a W. read more

I went to yard house with a large group of friends, and I want to say if you're a teen, going with friends your age I would suggest you go somewhere else. 1. Waiters were INCREDIBLY rude and unprofessional. We had 2 waiters serving us. Our first waiter complained when 6 of us asked for strawberry lemonade and demanded we pick something else because they took too long to make. (some of my friends got strawberry lemonade, some didn't ) He then also complained when we all wanted WATER later that evening. 2. Next, the same waiter continued to "ship" us together and ask why some of us were or weren't dating, trying to figure out if we had couples in our group and it was just very uncomfortable for some of my friends involved in that. 3. At the end of the night, one of our waiters started asking 2 of my friends why they didn't tip, please keep in mind that one of my friends only got a DRINK that costed 4$ .. so yeah he wasn't going to be tipping for a drink, when service was ok, and the food was just alright. While I think you should always tip, I think this server only asked because we were kids. At the end of the day if you really want Yard House, I would recommend going with a parent. The staff here seem to think they just say whatever they want to teenagers because they think it's a little harder for us to speak up, and they seem to think we won't do anything. I've been too Yard House many times with my parents and while service was bad it was never this disrespectful. If you're a group of teens and you want somewhere to eat downtown I would NOT!!! Recommend yard house, and I do want to add, majority of our group was black. Thank you I hope this is helpful . read more

Bread pudding is chef's kiss! The best I've ever had. Great selection of craft beers and the chicken nachos and salmon are superb!

Yard house has been a long time staple of mine to visit since the banks opened the last 5 years. This has been the place to kill time prior to the Bengals games or Cincinnati Reds! The food selection is great between their wings, brisket, and burgers. The beer selection is endless and there are a ton of seats inside and outside as well. Make sure to come early during game days as the wait can be up to 1-2 hours if you wait too long. Come check this place out! read more

If I could rate negative stars I would!!! I(Mom) was looking a make a reservation for my daughter 18th birthday for her family (grandparents, aunts/uncles, siblings and a few friends)to attend. Was told when I called a month ago that they didn't accept reservations on weekends(Friday). I was told I can do call ahead for seating on day of for accommodations. So I called at 2pm(for a 7 pm arrival time)and was told by the manager on duty that he would recommend us calling when we were on our way. So instead we arrived 35 minutes earlier(625pm)upon arrival we were told we were told and hour wait for 22 guests. A few minutes before 7pm a basketball team came in I was immediately seated. Bitch mention we over here waitress saying she doesn't know what to tell them(us) and she never approached us with any updates. I asked the waitress why were they seated ahead of us and we were told they had a reservation once I acknowledged that I kindly reminded her I per policy they don't take weekend reservations waitress told me that it's up to the manager's discretion if they want to do a reservation or not and shrugged her shoulders. So l asked her how long was the wait gonna be be now and she said and additional hour to hour and a half(at this point it is now 720pm). So because of the mis-communication, mis-handling, total disregard for our time and rude customer service I refused to spend any money in the establishment. While in waiting area I called Moerlein Lager House disclosed the situation at hand and asked cook they seat a party of 22 for my daughter birthday and she said my table would be ready when we arrive(mind you they are a 2 minute walk away). Not to mention we had elders in attendance with us while holding cake, cupcakes, gifts. Were I received outstanding customer service and accommodations where my $1000 total ticket was much appreciated along with our additional thank you tip of $100 (on top of traditional gratuities added to bill). The rules apply all!!! read more

Came here the night before a football game with my dad, and enjoyed our visit. It would have been a 20-30 minute wait, but we chose to grab a seat at the bar instead. The place was pretty crowded, and got busier as the night went on. The staff was friendly and efficient. They have a pretty expansive draft beer list, with many good options from domestics to craft. The food was solid, I had the Korean BBQ cheesesteak, and garlic parmesan fries. It was solid bar food. Whenever I return to Cincinnati, I'd be open to coming back. read more

Absolutely horrible. Flat out the worst experience I've ever had. The wife and I changed our drink orders, nothing big, and the waiter became extremely pissy. The food was extremely disappointing as well. I was under cooked and cold. Didn't want to even complain after how the waiter was behaving. Folks, this literally was the absolute worst experience I've had to date. read more

We went on a Friday night with no reservation and they were able to find us a table for 4 in 15 minutes or less! That's impressive enough for me! Our server was very attentive and wearing a mask, the tables were distant from each other but we still got the YH experience. We also ordered edamame and those are perfect for the table since they don't fill you up before your meal. I got the Noble Pursuit IPA from the Brewer Collab Series, would recommend! This restaurant is a staple at The Banks in Cincinnati and has beautiful views of the river during the daytime. read more

The Service was excellent! My friend and I went for Happy Hour (3pm - 6pm) and it was 1/2 off select appetizers and $2 off my Martini. I had the Malibu Peach Martini, Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and Spinach Dip. The Martini was very delicious, however not very stiff. The Chicken served with the Lettuce Wraps was cooked perfectly and was delicious. The Spinach Dip was served with Tortilla Chips, and Crackers. I liked that I had options to dip with. I will definitely return for Dinner sometime soon. read more

Went during happy house on a Friday and got so much food. The nachos alone are enough food for two, maybe even 3 people. Their prices are a bit high during a regular day but during happy hour it's well worth it. Our server, was absolutely fantastic. I'd go back simply for her amazing service. She anticipated what we needed before we could ask and made me a delicious custom tea. read more

Just happened to stumble across this restaurant in a Google search and I'm glad I did. I had the Brussels sprouts, fried calamari and the Garlic pasta. The food was amazing especially the Garlic pasta without shrimp & lobster. I will definitely stop in the next time I'm in Cincinnati, well worth the stop. read more

This place has the best beer on tap selection I have ever seen! It's kinda a large sports bar looking over the river in downtown Cincinnati.its a great place to pop in and get a bite after walking over the suspension bridge and cooling down from the summer heat..... The bar food is standard but nothing blew me over. The bussing / pickup staff seemed a little slow with cleaning up tables which wasn't too great to look at. It's also too bad there are a few homeless people standing right outside the door trying to get your leftovers. read more

We literally had 25 people in our party. We had a reservation for 430 and we were sat at 4:31. No bad things to say about this restaurant. Our waitress was great and attentive. All orders were correct, no cups went empty she was on it. I had the grilled chicken and avocado sandwich with a side of tomato soup. Amazing. I look forward to visiting another yard house soon. read more

We had THE BEST experience at Yard House today. We started our lunch adventure off at the Moerlein Lager House and it was quite the struggle so we left in search of a better experience. Landed at Yard House and holy crap, we had the best time!! We'd mentioned our rough start when we sat down and the whole staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a blast. Food was great, service was fast and top notch, drinks were a plenty and it was overall amazing. Shout out to Andrea who was probably the best server any of us have ever encountered. She was AWESOME!!!!!! We were a party of seven and none of us had ever stopped in before. Every single one of us chatted about how we'd be back because it was such a good time. Thank you for turning our day back around! (PS probably the best carrot cake I've ever had at a restaurant). read more

Yard House is a great place to come to try a new beer and get some tasty food. I especially enjoy coming here to watch games (when sports existed). Pre COVID they would give you a sample of any beer you wanted to try. I can't confirm if they are still doing this. Back in the winter I came here with a group of friends to watch the Crosstown Shootout. Unfortunately a big football game was also on at the same time so that took a large portion of the TVs, but they were accommodating and made sure we could still see our game. On my most recent visit we tried the onion ring tower and the coconut shrimp. I have also tried the sweet potato fries and I'm obsessed with the dipping sauce! I would highly recommend both appetizers. Even though their menu is a little more limited, they still have a lot of delicious options. I want to return on a nice day and enjoy their covered patio area. read more

What a great experience! My siblings took me out for my birthday, and I'm so glad my sister recommended Yard House! Gail took excellent care of us. We arrived during the dinner rush, and though she was clearly very busy, Gail made us feel welcome and important. She even took part in a little joke at my expense! The food was fabulous. We shared a few appetizers including the edamame and the spinach artichoke dip. Both were delicious! I ordered the Whiskey Salmon for my main course. It was perfect. Cooked just right, flavorful and tender. Definitely the right choice for me! We will definitely be back! read more

Food was great and service was spot on. Not somewhere we go all the time but return to. Highly recommend.

I have waited about 2 years to go to the Yard House. Every time I had plans something would happen and I wouldn't get to go. I should have taken that as a hint from the universe. We decided we would go to Yard House after the CluedUpp Alice in Wonderland game we participated in earlier that day. Which was great! When we got to the restaurant I was pleasantly surprised when we were seated immediately on an early Saturday evening. Especially since I called 15 minutes earlier and was told there was a 30 minute wait and that I couldn't put my name on the list even though their website says you can do that. We were seated at a big comfy booth near the front desk. It took longer than expected for our server show up and to take our drink order, but that was no big deal as our group was still talking about the game. We received our drinks and placed our appetizer orders. The calamari was cooked to death and the onion rings were soggy, but everyone was hungry so we didn't complain. Again there was a very long delay until we saw our server again to take our dinner order. In the mean time a busser had removed all the plates. When I placed my order for the Korean cheesecake sandwich I asked for onion rings cooked well done. I got fries. The salad for the kids meal was supposed to be balsamic. It was ranch. When we asked for a different salad the new salad came in a bowl 1/2 the size as the first. So the joke at the table was "you must get penalized here when they give you the wrong food". There were about 4 more of those same soggy onion rings with the cheese pizza, but they were supposed to be french fries. The fish from the fish and chips dinner was good and crispy, but way to oily. The oil was puddled on the plate. The BLT was good, but the chicken tortilla soup was very thick. Like it had been microwaved repeatedly or been cooking for days and the steak bowl was bland. We also ordered 2 margaritas. They tasted good, but seemed very small for the price. When we were ready to leave we used the table computer to call our server who had disappeared again and place it on the end of the table so it could be seen. After the red light went off twice with no sign of our server, I turned it on again and held it over my head. Another server asked if she could help us and told us she would find our server. He then showed up and told him she was looking for him. The total of our party's bill was roughly $183.00 (pre-tip) for 4 adults and one child. The meal and service did not come close to the price. I was very disappointed and even embarrassed since I was the one who suggested this place. We had had such a great day walking around our city while playing the game. We were looking forward to ending our day with a wonderful meal and that did not happen. I will not be going back there. AWFUL. * Sorry there are no photos. Our phone batteries died during the game. There was nothing worth seeing anyway. read more

Had a late night outing so glad that Yard House was open. We wanted a while to be seated but understood due to the current issue. We were greeted and had a nice conversation while we waited for the table to be prepared. Our server was awesome. He was very friendly and helpful with the menu item. I just got calamari and sweet potato fries. Probably not the best combination late at night but I wasn't super hungry. It didn't take long for the food to arrive. My only challenge was that the calamari was super spicy and I was not expecting it to be that spicy. The sweet potato fries with syrup was good. are all those. I would definitely return. Menu was condensed which was fine. Staff was great despite the challenges. I will note the parking was a challenge due to issues in the area so we had to walk a little ways to get there. Food overall was good. Look forward to coming back. read more

Came here with my mom for her birthday after spending the afternoon at the zoo. We were greeted and seated fairly quickly. Our server had a large group of about 20-25 while also taking care of 3-4 other groups, including us. I ordered the cheeseburger with the truffle fries. My mom has the grilled chicken sandwich with avocado. The food was delicious and came out fairly quick for as busy as the restaurant was. The main issue was the service (and it wasn't the servers fault). Our server was so overwhelmed with the large group that the other tables were forgotten about. We weren't checked on once we got our food. We weren't offered condiments for the fries. We both ran out of drinks and weren't offered refills until we were ready to leave. The service was just subpar due to the larger group. I would like to come back at a different time and give the service another chance. read more

We had a very good meal at the Yard House. We started with an appetizer and all three of us ordered different entrees - we were all happy with our selections. The menu is usually huge but is currently smaller due to Covid. I think that the prices were a bit high but you're paying for the location. We were celebrating my mom's 84th birthday and they brought out a complimentary dessert. Not many places do that anymore and it's a shame - nice touch that goes a long way. read more

The food here is as delicious as the photos suggest. The server,Anthony,was outstanding. His friendliness gave us a lift in spirits & his service was excellent. I ordered shrimp tacos & they were served hot and fresh with just the right seasoning. The side salad substitute was plentiful, fresh and had a variety of items to keep it interesting. Add that the ambiance is quiet with booths by a bank of windows overlooking the city's iconic bridge over the river & you have the perfect place for date night or a family outing. If I ever return to this city, I'll be back. And again, the service was awesome! read more
