What an awesome experience. This was my first time here and I must say EVERYTHING we ordered was amazing. How do I know? Because I had a taste of everything we ordered. My favorite was the Lobster Garlic Noodles. Omgosh the Lobster and shrimp was amazing. You all have to come here. Levar our waiter was amazing. Very knowledgeable and kind. read more

I'm wavering between a 2 and 3. It was such a mixed bag. The service overall was a fun bunch (Tyrrell had to go and and Nate took over), but every dish was left on the table and there were some miscommunications. The manager Jor spoke with us and was made aware that the nachos, onion rings, Korean wings and Korean beef were all cold. With the exception of the nachos which were bland, the food had good flavor but was cold. We were under the impression we were waiting for replacements... uncertain as to what Joe and Nate discussed, but we finally had to put a request in and only two of if the four items were replaced and the beef was still cold. Our cocktails were great and the Yardhouse is a fun atmosphere, but I was disappointed with our meal. read more

Came on a Friday late afternoon at 4:15 PM right before a Reds game it was packeedddd. The lady overestimated and told us an hour wait but we got at seat on the patio in like 30 minutes. They have a texting system which is nice. We took a walk to the ohio river trail park which was really nice. Definitely come for happy hour if you can because it's such a good deal! Half off select appetizers, $4 off draft beers! We got a half a yard of Michelob Ultra for less than $7. We're really giving this place four stars for the value of the food. I'm a pretty fruity alcohol drinker. I highly recommend the Strainge Beast Ginger, Lemon & Hibiscus and the Steiger Radner grapefruit. The Steiger barely has any alcohol for those who are looking for something lighter and grapefruit tastes great. The Strainge Beast had more of a slightly tart taste to it and not sweet at all and was very refreshing. Our server Nathan worked really hard to try to get us our food on time, but because of how busy it was, food came out really slow. We were fine with it because we were just killing time before the ballgame. We ordered the classic sliders, which were more flavorful than I expected, the fried calamari was a safe choice, the Wisconsin fried cheese curds were actually better than I thought they would be. Nice and crispy on the outside and cheese was so good. The most disappointing thing was the pepperoni & mushroom pizza.... I don't think they know how to make pizza. The dough was just not good. Tasted like frozen pizza heated up. But we ordered all that food for the two of us and it only came out to $66 with food and four drinks. They do not take reservations, so you'll have to walk in and wait. Try to get there early. You're not going to get in after 5 pm for a while.. Staff members were nice. Nathan did a great job despite our food being so slow and he was extremely apologetic about it. Only one staff member wore a mask. Would definitely recommend this place before a Reds game! Because it's literally down the street from the entrance. read more

My husband and I attend/run a conference downtown each year and it has become a tradition to come to Yard House for Saturday lunch as it is in walking distance to the Hyatt Regency. We did not have to wait either time we've gone. The restaurant is always busy, but not too loud. It's still easy to have a conversation. My husband ordered the fish and chips. Holy moley was it delicious and HUGE. The fries came with a heavenly malt aioli and the fish with a yummy jalapeno tartar sauce. It was super spicy, but had great flavor. I do wish there was a non-spicy option as well. I ordered the poke nachos both times and they are truly one of my favorite things I have ever ever eaten. The ingredients are fresh, the tuna is clearly quality, and the addition of truffle is ICING on the cake. I am already dreaming about the next time I'll get them. Our server was a gem. She was bubbly and kind and accommodating. She even brought me pickles because I said I was craving them. Would highly recommend! read more

Once again, still love Yard House. Really wish there was a location in Columbus! Came here on a Saturday mid afternoon and sat at the bar. Around 4:30, it was PACKED. Very busy. We had rounds of drinks, and tried some fun ones too. The strawberry mojito was great. We ordered the poke nachos. Yum. But spicy! Very good. Our server Marco was so sweet and attentive. Elevated our experience. Hope he gets the recognition he deserves! read more

Was in Cincinnati for a Bengals game and we decided to go to The yard house, now we have been to yard house plenty of times in NC; but I felt the menu had changed and for the better! We started off with a flight of beers and the queso dip and it comes with tortilla chips and regular tortillas. I will say the next time I would only ask for the chips. The tortillas weren't cooked, like they just took them out of the bag. I had the garlic noodles and lemon pepper wings and the garlic noodles were so good, we took an order to go. My friend had the grilled cheese with bacon and tomato soup and half of my garlic noodles. she enjoyed the grilled cheese and said the bacon was so good. As soon as we got back to NC I looked up the menu to see if they had the garlic noodles. That will be my on my list to get every time we go. read more

Large beer selection, great food options, and worth going if you've never been. This was not my first time to yard house but was an easy stop while hanging out at the river front with my kids. My kids were very excited about the size of the Mac and Cheese! I probably could have ordered one Mac and cheese and an extra side to split between them both. We had leftovers regardless. The Philly cheesesteak was not you're traditional style sandwich, the meat in this one was cut up chunks of steak. Regardless, it had great flavor and I very much enjoyed it. Food was good, beers were a bit pricey in comparison to other bars, the restaurant could use a good cleaning and was a bit grimy where we were sitting, but overall it wasn't horrible. I look forward to going back again. read more

They've got a huge variety of grub that's basically a menu for every mood. Burgers, salads, tacos, you name it - they've got your cravings covered. The ambiance is lively and mostly welcoming, making it an ideal spot for gatherings with friends or family. The vibes are chill, also perfect for a laid-back hangout with pals or a casual date night. The staff's super cool and friendly, making the whole experience even better. (Great for graduations, parties, celebrations etc). Also has pretty outside seating and plenty of inside seating. Parking is annoying and service within the restaurant is inconsistent though (hence the 4 stars). Whether you're into classic comfort eats or want to try something wild, this joint is the go-to. Seriously, my crew and I keep coming back because there's always something new to munch on. This place does have variety, vibes, and good times all wrapped up in one awesome package! read more

I'm not sure at all why this place has lower reviews on Yelp. My only guess is how busy it is, that it gets people complaining about the service. I'll admit that our food took a little longer than typical to get to the table, but our server consistently checked on us to make sure all was good. The place is constantly packed, so I think a little more understanding is necessary. The area of Cincinnati that this is located in is amazing! There are so many great places to go and great sights to see with the bridge, fountains, carousel, Queen City sign, sports stadiums, etc! It really starts to look even more awesome at night! The vibe inside of yard house is definitely fun, and there's a great view of the river from inside! The food and drinks were great! My personal favorites that I tried were the spicy edamame, firecracker shrimp, and the Thai grilled pork chop, with the pork chop being the best. It was grilled to perfection. The smoked pink dragon margarita is great too, and I also had a red cream soda seltzer that was delicious and surprisingly on point with the red cream soda flavor. All in all, we had a great time here while visiting my family in Ohio! read more

Came in for a late lunch. Our server was Tonya and she was great. She was very attentive. They have an extensive beer list. You are also able to get a variety of sizes. I ordered the chicken Nachos and they are huge! Share with the table or take some to go! The reason I took off a star is the restaurant had a kinda funky smell coming from the bar area. read more

Late night eats that are a treat. At The Banks for late night food and drink and this place was the only one available. While it may come across as the last option it certainly is not. I was pleasantly surprised at my service and my selections. Everything was delicious and it came out quick without the rushed feeling. Tips to make your visit a success. 1) Peruse the menu beforehand. Ordinarily I would not have went for the items I chose but after perusing their extensive menu this became my well chosen decision. And boy was I impressed with the taste of my food. 2) Let the drinks choose you. These aren't your basic cocktails they are intriguing. And the smoking Pink Dragon really wowed me and tasted unique. And this wasn't the most exclusive of their cocktails. So by all means try and experience something great and different. If you're hungry and want to try something different then the Yard House is your spot. read more

We had such a good time tonight at the yard house. Unfortunately, I don't remember our waitresses name, however she was really great.

Yesterday, 7/29/2024, at the Yard House, was one of the worse dining experiences I ever had. The main reason was because of the rude, non-apologetic waiter, Josh. The cheese curds were barely cooked and became a mass of melted, oily cheese. I ordered a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich, that I should have sent back. I brought the fact up to Josh, the waiter, that there was no sauce on the chicken, and it was not hot at all. He said "well that's because corporate decided to make a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich that is not hot. He offered no solution, comments, and simply walked away. I bottle of hot sauce could have taken care of it. This is the worst Yard House I have every been in, and I will not be returning! I generally do not write reviews, and I only took the time in hopes that some of you do not experience the same. read more

Arrived on Sunday afternoon 01/26/2024 after my grandsons confirmation with a request for 27 people. They didn't bat an eye and seated us quickly and the service, food, and hospitality were first rate.... Thank you to the Yard House for making a special day complete. read more

Great food and experience Excellent server Enjoyed the ahi tuna salad; tuna was fresh and well prepared. Salad was tasty. Bavarian pretzel would have been more to my liking with less oil or melted butter. This restaurant was a pleasure at 3pm on a Thursday in October. read more

Went in last week for a dinner with friends. It was pretty busy, but they do have a wait-list to not have to wait there. Expect an average wait-list time of about an hour on weekends. Once in, we were promptly tended to. They do have an option of placing an order through a tab like thing in each table. Since we needed multiple things, we waited for a server. We ordered a bunch of stuff: Chips and Guac- this was alright. Pretty standard. The peppers gave some necessary heat too. Baja Fish Tacos with Cod- this was meh. Heavily coated and deep fried. I wouldn't recommend. Mediterranean bowl with Salmon- this was good. I think the Salmon was cooked nicely and the dip was yum. Kale and Romaine salad- this was pretty good. Wasn't a fan of how the brussel sprouts were cooked, and would have preferred more kale. Vodka pasta with Chicken - this was actually on the drier side. Some of them had absolutely no sauce on it. The portions are good. However, I'm not sure if it justifies the price point. Service was really good. read more

Best variety of drinks I've seen in the city/surrounding area, especially draft beer! 4 stars because the food is always hit or miss. Some things are great, but some times very underwhelming for the price point. Great for large groups/parties or a date/special occasion! read more

Just left The Yard House in downtown Cincinnati when my family and I were denied dinning inside the restaurant after we ordered a takeout order. We picked up our food from their takeout menu but then it started to rain outside. so, we asked if we could dine in and the guy with beard behind hostess said no!! He stated that because we ordered take out we can't change it- citing that it's an Ohio law! He even mentioned that like McDonalds - if we ordered their fast food, we couldn't change it to dine in the restaurant.. I told him that was a lie! I've changed my at McDonalds all the time and they let me eat inside the restaurant.. What a bunch of croc!! Asked to speak to the manager and he said he was the manager. Sugar levels were low so gotta eat ., otherwise I'd get my money back !! read more

The food, service, and the Ambiance were great. Great selection of drinks and appetizers as well. Can't go often enough to really enjoy.

My wife visited here several months ago during a Yelp event. She was given a gift card, and my wife is vegan, while I'm very much a meat-eater, so we are always looking for restaurants with options for both of us. The wife had her eye on the Gardein (vegan) wings, which she ended up ordering with half barbecue and half buffalo. I was teetering between the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and the Spicy Jambalaya, and ended up choosing the latter. We also got the sweet potato fries with maple syrup as an appetizer. The food all came out at once probably ten to fifteen minutes later--not a bad wait at all. Our server was very attentive, checking in and replacing waters every five to ten minutes. The potato fries were okay. They didn't taste very seasoned, and they got cool fairly quickly. By themselves, they were unsatisfactory, though the real maple syrup was obviously delicious, and made the appetizer far better overall. I did try a bite each of my wife's faux chicken wings (tenders, really), and while I wasn't a big fan of the meat substitute, which doesn't play a huge role in the rating since I'm not the target audience for that dish, the buffalo sauce I thought was high quality. The barbecue sauce was fairly run-of-the-mill. The Spicy Jambalaya was okay, but not the best I've had. The blackened shrimp was the main shortcoming. For a large order of the meal, which cost about $20, only four pieces of shrimp came with the meal. Large pieces to be sure, but only a few. In addition, the shrimp all came with the tails still attached. I realize this might be done for authenticity, which wouldn't be a be qualm for me, until I bit down on a shard of shrimp tail in a bite without any shrimp. Lastly, the shrimp, despite having a nice layer of seasoning, was rather bland, and only slightly darkened. As for the rest of the dish, there was some decent flavor in the sauce, the andouille sausage, and the rice, but not the full flavor palette that I expect from creole food. Overall, we had some decent food, but also some mediocre food, and with the price on the jambalaya and the appetizer being a little more than I'd expect (just a few dollars each), Yardhouse gets 3 stars. read more

Ate here on March 19th, 2024. Upon arrival we were seated promptly and our server arrived immediately. Ordered firecracker shrimp and the double BLT. They have an extensive beer selection. Our food arrived in no time and it was outstanding! Everything was fresh and beautifully plated. The views from the dining room are lovely. Highly recommended! Only regret was that we were too full to order dessert. read more

Came to this establishment for the first and last time this afternoon. We were graced with the service from Rachel, who turned out to be a terrible person. Rarely check on the table and ended up sitting with empty drinks more often than they were full. Coming from a table of service industry people, we can be very lenient. Have to say it was extremely hurtful to see her having conversations with other tables while we can even get a simple form of eye contact. Safe to say I will not be returning for as long as Rachel is there. read more

This is a very Large restaurant with a chill atmosphere. There are tons of rotating craft beers on tap as well as a huge menu with something for everyone. I've been here at various times of day and days of the week, and the wait is never bad. There are booths, an outdoor patio (enclosed and warmed in winter), high top tables, and regular tables to accomodate any group size. The bar seats are comfy and there's plenty of room to eat there too. It makes for a good place to hangout for a while with friends or catch a game on one of the many TVs. Staff is helpful and attentive, even at busy times. I have never had the issues with service here that others mention. I find the food to be good and consistent, but never a WOW. My biggest draw here is their happy hour deals on food. Most of the apps are half off and there is an early happy hour as well as late night (late night no drink specials). My go to is always the Poke nachos. The portion is huge. There is a generous amount of poke tuna atop wonton chips with a great yum yum type sauce. Other good apps: The chicken nachos are ok and you get a large portion. Their sushi appetizers are a very cool different take on that fare, try it! My favorite entree is actually the Ahi crunchy salad. Love the truffle fries. For drinks, id stick to the beer. Ive tried some of the cocktails and they are overly sweet... not really worth the high price even on happy hour special. read more

This place is terrible! I placed 2 orders of wings to go and when I picked them up it began to storm outside. I called my wife and 2 kids who were outside to come in so we can eat at a table. I asked the manager if I could sit at an "empty table" briefly without a server so we can wait for the rain to stop and he said, "no"! read more

The service was outstanding. We watched the OSU PSU game and really enjoyed it. The food was good. The drinks kept coming. Great place.

Terrible service. My friend called weeks ahead and was told they don't do reservations on Friday nights, but to just call ahead. We called ahead and when we arrived said there's a 20 minute wait for a party of 15. We waited over an hour on the street with kids and pregnant women. This place is not honest and does not deserve your business. The food is not even that good with high prices and pay for parking nearby. Overall bad experience here! read more

Happy hour was 3 to 6 with 1/2 price appetizers & discounted drafts, we missed it! There is a long wait for a table because the restaurant feels empty they are short staffed. We found dirty seats at the bar & ordered drafts. So much to choose from! We started by sharing an order of wings. They were disappointing, they were not crispy & fresh but mushy & cold in parts. The wings appeared to be frozen with sauce dumped on top & microwaved. Then shared a slice of chocolate fudge cake with fudge frosting chocolate chips & chocolate sauce for 890 cal. This is there a tad significantly less calories I just saw I want my dream I was around server knew Trump was just telephone calls it's in in between I'll be neutral nine neutral not very likely the guy We each had a beer, shared a new order of wings and piece of cake, service wasn't good & our bill was $55, crazy! The ladies room was particularly gross! read more

They may have been short staffed as there was a wait for a table. We sat at the bar and ordered wings. Not crispy & fresh but rather mushy, and some were cold. I suspect they were microwaved and not well. The chocolate fudge cake and the tap beer was better. I would miss it the next time in Cincinnati. read more

So I decided to have thanksgiving at yard house this year, instead of cooking for only 6 people, We showed up earlier than our reservation and no issues with that they sat us quickly. After that the visit just continued to get worse, after waiting for 20 minutes for the waitress to even come to our table. Mind you it wasn't busy at all, she then came and got our drink order, appetizer order and food order all at once, then she only came to our table 1 other time to fill our drinks. When I got my bill I expected it to be high around $250. I had no issue giving a good tip for a good waitress but I felt the service was sub par at best, then she held the table pad while I paid which was weird to me but after that I still gave her a tip, she freaked out and told my family and I we should have stayed home and not came to yard house. LOL. We have been to yard house a ton of times we have never had this happen before. Very dissatisfied with this visit. 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 love this place! It's a great place to take a date to or to go with friends and family. The vegetarian orange chicken is the best plant-based meat I have ever had. My glass of wine was $12 so it gets pricey with drinks.

Fun, upscale, casual restaurant/bar spot to grab drinks, eat very good food and watch sports or attend nearby sporting events. Large atmosphere so nice for group gatherings. Wide range of food options from tasty apps, gourmet salads, burgers cooked to order, signature sandwiches and dinner entrees; plus they have a full bar and big selection of craft beer taps. Pricing is above average, so expect to pay ~$15 pp for a large gourmet salad or specialty sandwich (comes with good fries). Ordered wings as an appetizer, meaty and flavorful tossed in right amount of buffalo sauce. For my meal, I ordered a small Cobb salad with blackened Chicken and a side Al Pastor taco (without cilantro). Taco meat (pork belly) was cooked crispy and was really tasty with fresh onions; recommend this if you enjoy a Street type taco. My Cobb was excellent - it had edamame, corn, fresh bacon, egg, avocado, radish, bleu cheese with creamy ranch. It was a good option knowing I'm going to eat unhealthy (fun) ballpark food tomorrow! If in downtown Cincinnati, it's an upscale sports bar with excellent restaurant food, wide drink variety and loud atmosphere. Enjoy! read more
