Great Food my favs include: Chicken Avocado Sandwich, Coconut Shrimp, Chicken Tortilla Soup, chocolate soufflé, Sliders we go for the atmosphere always loud music and full bar ( DONT FORGET YOU I.D no matter how many time you have been no ID no drinks for you) by the way the drinks are really good. 1/2 PRICE APPETIZERS MOST DAYS AFTER 10PM EXCEPT FRI AND SAT can u tell i come here ever week....lmao read more

We seriously love this place and drive down to Dedham like once a week to go. Food is great, and they have an amazing selection of Vegan/Veg options like their Gardein products. Amazing selection of beers and service is always fast and friendly. They actually usually always remember us as well as we have become sort of regulars. So even if a big chain place like this, everyone still comes to know your name. read more

3.5 stars. It's been a long time coming, but I've finally gave this place a try. Being a beer geek, I get recommended this place a lot. I think I unfairly hesitated to try it, being that its a chain. Big deal, it's a fun place. As expected, beer selection is impressively extensive for a bar chain. A few rare gems are mixed in with more accessible craft favorites, and rotating taps that seem to change often. Food is where I was pretty surprised. It's good. I'd suggest the pizza and burger here, they were both really tasty. Other options, not so great. Atmosphere can get a little stressful, as it's packed on weekend nights and the wait is long, but it's always fun. I should have given this place a chance a while ago. read more

I have been here a number of times and it's been the same every time. Huge line during dinner- usually about a 45min wait. Haven't been here during lunch hours so I can't comment on that. They have an excellent selection of beer- probably one of the biggest in the state. I'm not a huge beer person so it's nice to have a variety of other ciders to drink and lots of wine. The half yard is about 2.5/3 beers. The food is great! I've had multiple burgers and they've all been consistently good- the fries are almost like shoestring fries. The nachos are a huge portion- it can easily be a full meal so don't fill up too quickly. Truffle fries and sweet potato fries are on point. Calamari is pretty basic. Onion rings are delicious, especially the dipping sauces they come with. The most recent entree I've tried is the Blackened Swordfish Tacos- they were good for the most part and it didn't taste too much like fish; the spicy sticky rice was a bit hard and the baked beans were mediocre. The downside is that it's pretty noisy and very crowded. The service isn't always the greatest. I feel like half the time I have to waive down the waitstaff. It's understandable that they are very busy since it's a busy place but waiting as long as we have to for a check can get rather annoying. Overall it's a good place for a relatively small group but not a good place for something intimate. read more

Lets put it out there, I'm 24 and I still live with my parents. They are cool, hip musicians and we love hanging together. This said, the Yard House is one of our favorite places yet! The first time we visited this chain we were in Vegas and it wasn't busy at all! The beer selection was amazing and the staff was great! This Yard House is no exception. We try to go on Sundays during football season so we can watch the games. Now I will say last weekend they barely had ANY football on. All of the TV's had college basketball. I dunno where they think we are, but it's New England and it's Sunday.... HOWEVER- the beer selection is superb, the food is fantastic, and the staff is great. I'd go back again, and again! read more

You want a beer selection, you come here. Great place, have never had a bad meal or a stanky drink. The food menu could be a little more diverse, but other than that the food itself is great. Love the nachos! Service is usually pretty good as well. And it's always pretty busy. read more

We ate here last Sunday and the service was excellent. Stacy was our waitress and she couldn't have been more attentive. She was very knowledgeable about beer and made a perfect recommendation for me. I got the tomato bisque and my boyfriend got the clam chowder, to start with. We then shared a hummus plate before ordering our dinner. For dinner I got the pineapple and ham pizza. My boyfriend got the pastrami sandwich. I thought the tomato bisque was excellent. The hummus plate was good. It came with some grilled pita bread and was topped with olives as well as edamame. The only thing I would have changed would be to add some fresh veggies to the plate, like cherry tomatoes or celery. I really liked the pizza, it looked like it might have been wood grilled. I had a bite of the pastrami sandwich and thought that was good as well. I only wish it was served on better bread, maybe some toasted rye or something. Overall the food was delicious, and my picky-ness just stems from being a cook myself. read more

Eat here twice, best I can say is so so! Wings good, pizza bad, service at bar, mediocre at best!

Let's get the obvious out of the way: This place is a bit expensive, and you will almost always have to wait a minimum of 15-30 minutes for a table during dinner time. I'm not sure how it only has a 2 dollar sign rating for price because I always end up spending close to $50/person here after dinner, 2 beers, and tip. Great beer selection on draft. They always have something interesting to try, and some old classics. Food is a bit expensive for what it is. I've had a number of different dishes here and they've always been underwhelming, at best. The service is downright bad. However, the wait staff is not at fault, it's the kitchen. They simply seem to be understaffed and/or mismanaged. Every time I've been here my food has taken inexcusably long to be served. And when I receive it, it's never cooked to specification, and it's almost always cold. Their customer service, however, is top notch. Last time I was here our food took about an hour to come out. They apologized and threw out the bill. The time before that my petite fliet was overcooked, and they offered (I didn't mention anything, but they noticed I wasn't enjoying it) to recook another one for me. But, really, I'm not interested in going out, wasting time, and having meals given to me for free. I'm interested in going out for a relatively speedy, delicious meal at a reasonable price. This place offers none of that. Even though they went above and beyond to make up for our bad experience, it's unlikely I'll be going back for dinner, but I will definitely be back for their great beer selection. read more

Been here multiple times. Just LOVE this place. I have never been disappointed. It's in Legacy place so you can catch a movie or do groceries/shopping. I haven't had trouble finding a parking spot here. Good for couples and also for groups. The ambiance is really good. Slightly expensive than the usual places in Boston. My husband usually orders different beers and he likes them. I tried the El Picante the very first time and I'm hooked to it. So I just get the same drink every time! We usually get the tower of onion rings, truffle fries or the tofu lettuce wraps. I love the tofu filling!!! It has much better flavor than the one at Pf changs. I also love the different sauces that come along with it. For main course, we get a veggie taco that's not on the menu. I also order the Gardein BBQ Chicken Pizza. I like the pizza coz it has some Asian flavor which is different than the usual pizzas. My husband liked the taco the first time he got it. I wish they could let us substitute one of their usual tacos with a veggie option. Like take out the meat n put mushrooms or avocado. The service is usually good. If we go with friends, we have to wait but it's worth it! Overall, I would recommend this place.The only reason for not giving a 5 star is because they are not flexible on changing their menu to accommodate vegetarians. I agree they have a menu designed for it but most restaurants are ready to make changes. read more

Yummmmm is all I have to say! The best vegetarian American food! Love being able to come here and grab a beer and some 'chicken' buffalo wings with my friends. The Gardein meat substitute is off the chain!! And def try their 6 pack sampler of beer. I was somewhat of a narrow minded light beer drinker. Now I have expanded my horizons and found some really great choices. Sometimes after I head straight to Whole Foods next door with the beer description list and pick up a couple of six packs of my favorite picks. I consider myself a lifelong faithful customer of the Yard House! read more

I come here on the weekend with some coworkers after we get out. The staff is always friendly, there are a lot of drinks to choose from and they are decently priced. I haven't had the pleasure of ordering any food but I hear it's great. read more

Great selection of beer, service is friendly. We usually get the appetizers - thai chicken noodle salad, the coconut shrimp appetizer are much recommended read more

Stumped about the bad reviews here. We had excellent service from Colleen. We ordered 5 or 6 different things from the menu and they were all good. The beer selection? Spectacular!! 5 stars all the way. I got a perfect beer recommendation from our waitress too. We will be back for sure. read more

How can go you wrong with a chocolate stout beer float and an order of spicy jambalaya?? I always get these items when I come here. The jambalaya is never off par. Writing this review makes me want to go and get some again! The staff is always really friendly. I asked for bread last time and they were nice enough to grab me some since the restaurant does not do bread to start. read more

Yard house never disappoints. Really good fries and solid burgers. The selection of beers are unsurpassed. I would give 5 stars but the wait is extremely long especially during dinner and weekends. I would suggest checking this place out for lunch during the week. read more

Normally at any restaurant where I find hair in my food - one star. But the manner in which our server and the managers proceeded with the situation is what made me give Yardhouse a 3. Our server apologized and the manager (who had just started) came over and apologized. They took care of our bill (which was small) and offered me a substitution but at that point my appetite was done. I appreciate the effort they put in to still try to make it a enjoyable experience. read more

I used to frequent this place back when I drank. Now that I am 3 yrs sober I decided I would actually come in and look at a menu. Have to say they have some really good food. It's nice to sit on the restaurant side and enjoy good food. Staff is very friendly and I recommend Steph for exceptional service and knowledge of the menu. read more

Had a wonderful dinner and dining experience last night at the Yard House at Legacy Place in Dedham. The food was delicious! Our wonderful server, Takiya was so gracious and knowledgeable. Lovely!! Terrific evening in every way. Already looking forward to the Yard House again. read more

I was surprised by this restaurant. We sat at the bar on a Sunday night. It was pretty busy still. We started with the Spicy Tuna Roll appetizer. It was not sushi, rather a stack with edamame. We both really enjoyed it. My husband had the short rib ravioli and I had street tacos. Both entrees were very good. The bartender was attentive without being overbearing. We were very happy with the experience. read more

Very attentive service! Could not have asked for more with our visit. We left a restaurant for issues with the waiter returning to our table so we were very happy to have a waiter that was right on top of what we needed. read more

This place can do no wrong. Huge assortment and have yet to have a bad meal. Delivery is packed up well and organized with everything you need. Definitely our go-to delivery spot! read more

1/2 priced apps and sides during their happy hour - 4pm - 6pm! Went with the boy and a few of his coworkers - I was in a light beer kinda mood, and our super awesome server suggested the Kronenbourg 1664 for me - which was honestly, DELICIOUS. My new beer of choice! You gotta love a place that feels comfortable enough to suggest new beers for a patron. The apps were also really good - my Hawaiian Poke was awesome, as was the boyfriend's onion ring tower. Got super angry (on our server's behalf) due to a blonde biotch who treated the waitstaff like crap and sat there with the most awful expression on her face the entire time she was there. She needed a good punch in the adam's apple. I was a few drinks in and almost got up to educate her on good manners, but proceeded to just talk oodles of crap about her with all of the waitstaff. She suuuuuuuuuuucked. All in all - would definitely come here again! And you, girl who was way too big for your rhinestone studded sweatpants, please just stop projecting your misery to the world. And please don't ever act like you're better than someone else just because they're serving you the $4 half priced burger you ordered. Get over yourself. read more

Went here by myself as I was in town for work. Got a two top right away even though it was about 6:00 on a Friday night. The place is huge, dark (just enough) and cool. The bar speaks for itself. 130 tap beers! Holy crap! What's not to like? I had a salad and the sliders. Pleasantly surprised that I snuck in before the happy hour ended at 6pm. Got 4 sliders and an entree amount of fries for 6.75. Sweet! Sliders were good sized and gooey, greasy goodness. The salad was average but it was just a house side salad - I wasn't looking for anything fancy. Unlike one other reviewer, I didn't get the impression that they were 'blasting classic rock'. I had a phone convo with my sister while waiting for my beer and I could hear her fine. Come on. Classic rock is their thing. It says it on the door of the place for chrissakes. You can't fault them for it. Also, pretty much everyone who says playing classic rock at a bar is lame - you know you're tapping your toe and singing along in your head. Just sayin. PS. They'll take a reservation if you have a party over 10. Says so on the table card thingy. Overall was very pleased with the experience. Check it out - especially if you're a beer snob. read more

Visiting from Dallas and this place blew my mind. Dozens of beers, tons of awesome foods, and this place stays busy! Def coming back when I visit Boston again! read more

Yard House - Bars Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

See all

Yard House is a really solid, decent spot to find a great draft beer and get some yummy comfort food. There are a ton of food options to go with the ridiculous rotating draft beer selection. The Spinach dip, onion rings, korean bbq short rib are all never-fail options for appetizers. Their burgers are solid as well. On this past visit, I decided to try a special from their St. Patrick's Day menu and I ordered the Guiness Shepherd's Pie. The waitress kept talking it up and I figured, why not!? When it came out, I just looked astounded...because it literally was like a whole pie. The size of a WHOLE PIE. I can't profess to be educated on what "traditional" Shepherd's Pie is, but growing up...I always had beef, corn and potatoes baked in a casserole dish. This was more of a beef pot pie. I've never had Shepherd's Pie with a crust before, but perhaps that's actually how it's traditionally made? I dunno. I would have liked it more if I had ordered it knowing what I was getting, but what I thought I was ordering was not what I got. If' I'm rating the dish as a Beef Pot Pie...it was really tasty. As a Shepherd's Pie, it missed the mark. Yard House continues to be, in my opinion, a good spot for decent bar food and great beer selection! read more

Wow, this place is fantastic! I love trying different kinds of beer, so when I heard about how many kinds they have here, I made it a point to check it out. I wasn't really expecting much out of the food, since usually when a place chooses to focus so heavily on a large beer selection, they don't put as much focus on the food. Man was I wrong! This is not your typical fried pub food joint! The seared ahi tuna app was amazing, the spinach and artichoke dip had lobster in it, and everyone at the table raved about their meals! And ohhhh the beer! I've been here twice, and the second time was just as good as the first. The shrimp enchilada that came with my jerk chicken with shrimp stack was possibly one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. The only negative thing that I can say is that you can expect to wait an hour for a table (even on a weeknight), and they don't take reservations on weekends. Maybe because they're still pretty new? Fortunately, Yard House is in a pretty nice shopping plaza, so there's lots to do to kill some time while you wait. read more

Really enjoyed this place! Huge beer selection as pointed out by everyone. Martinis, mixed drinks, mixed beers. Giant (half) yards of goodness. I also went with great company so maybe I'm biased. I guess I could of been in an alley way, half naked and homeless shooting up and i'de still give it 4 stars. No but really, the waitress was nice! The hostesses were great! Only down sides, no blue cheese olives, no small little dish for soy sauce (came on a giant dish randomly). And it would be nice having maybe prices listed on the menus, or alch percentages. Free parking though! And just a great meeting place if you're in the Legacy Place area! And the sushi was delish! read more

Waited a long time, but ultimately had a good meal and some nice beer. I had heard about the Yard House first on a trip to the West Coast. Heard about the theme and planned to stop in, then nixed that idea when i found out it was a chain and they had just opened one in Dedham. So i jumped at the chance to accompany three friends there when the opportunity presented itself. I arrived about 15 minutes after my compatriots had put their name in, and we still waited a good 30-40 after that. Mind you this was not a Friday/Saturday. Good for them - if they can do that kind of business on a weeknight. All parties at the table seemed to enjoy their food, except for one diner (who shall remain anonymous) that had some issues with undercooking. The table discussed at length whether that type of cooking was actually suitable given how they had ordered the burger - the result was a split decision - 2:2. No one else at the table experienced any undercooking issues. Beer list comes as advertised - extensive - tried a few new things and got someone hooked on Youngs Double Chocolate Stout. Certainly worth the wait. read more

All around amazing experience. They lost a star for saying the wait was going to be much shorter than it actually was. Also, we each got a beer sampler and the bartenders put the beers in backwards so while we were drinking each sample and reading the descriptions, it wasn't matching up. The server helped us fix it, but it happened with all of our samplers which means the bartenders kept making it wrong. That's a pretty big deal if you're sampling beer. It was a Thursday night and absolutely packed, we could barely get a drink at the bar. Once we got seated our server was attentive and helpful. We sat for a while and never felt rushed. Food was delicious. I had a pineapple pizza and the sauce was so garlicky I loved every second of if. I wish I had a Yard House closer to me so I could go more often. read more

What a disappointment. Yard House is mediocre at best. They have however many beers on tap. All of the food is kind of blah - one thing to definitely stay away from is the pizza. It's gross. And they are EXPENSIVE! Waits tend to get very long as well. Only good point - it's nice to see a unique chain come to the area with some outdoor seating. Solid anchor for attracting people toward the back of Legacy Place. Okay place to hang and have a drink, but much beyond that is not good. read more

I'm only taking away one star because the place is ridiculously crowded and standing in the waiting area with hoards of people and their Legacy Place shopping bags is enough to make you want to drive down route 1 to Five Guys or Chipotle. Once you get seated you can't go wrong with 100+ different draft beers and a food menu with just as many options. They have a pretty extensive gluten SENSITIVE menu and they're very quick to point out that while the food will be gluten free, the kitchen is not a gluten free environment. After talking to the Manager we don't think this is any different from any other restaurant with a gluten free menu, but it can be a little concerning if even slight cross contamination can get you sick. My wife ended up getting a monster sized turkey club wrapped in lettuce that she enjoyed very much. I went with a Pork sandwich that I ordered without cheese, but ended up coming with pieces of cheese remaining from a poor attempt to remove the melted cheese after the fact. The waitress and Manager were extremely nice about it and ended up sending me a whole new sandwich AND taking it off the bill without me even having to ask. The sandwich was just ok, but the sweet potato fries were awesome and the customer service was even better. We'll definitely be back to try some new things and make fun of those people awkwardly drinking out of the half yard glasses of beer they ordered. read more

The food is exceptional and the beer selection is out of this world! However, I went here for a work holiday party on a Thursday in December and the place was PACKED to capacity (and it's pretty big). Service was a bit slow because of it and it gets pretty loud in here. I felt like I was packed in like a sardine. Lunch is pretty good, not nearly as busy. Don't go here if you want an intimate dinner out. It is more for a "classy" rowdy crowd (if that makes any sense at all). read more

I first discovered Yard House back in September and have since been making monthly trips to the sports bar. There is something about their Truffle Fries that really hit the spot which keeps reeling me back in. On the weekends you can expect to have a 30-40 minute wait-but have no fear! You'll be given a buzzer and you can kill time in the neighboring shops at Legacy Place. The times that I have gone on a weekend evening we received our orders relatively quickly but today, (sunday 1:00PM) it took a bit for our food to come out even though we were seated right away. No matter the wait I am always much enthused over their truffle fries!! I think they are fairly priced for what you get and they have always been consistently seasoned and salted. However, on my first visit to yard house our fry order came out cold and the management had no problem swapping them out for a freshly fried bowl! The jerk wing appetizer is very flavorful and is served on a bed of deep purple cabbage alongside with rum bbq sauce that is reminiscent of an asian based A1 sauce garnished with string thinned scallions. These two apps are always a staple for my party when we visit. For entrees the baja fish tacos come in a pair with a side of pinto beans and rice and are served with lime and guacamole. The presentation of the entree is quite nice as they are held with parchment paper and metal napkin holders. I ordered the 5 ounce blackened ahi tuna burger upon recommendation from a friend. The mixed green salad was fine but the burger left much to be desired as it was not seasoned very well and was cooked too thoroughly. A friend had ordered the "house favorite," Parmesan crusted chicken which was served over garlic mashed potatoes swimming in a pool of mushroom gravy sauce. I gotta say that that entree took the cake for the night. Although I only had one bite of the chicken I could see it was a crowd pleaser as three other friends had made their way into her dish. You'll find that Yard House has an extensive three page listing of beer that will please any novice or connoisseur. It is said that there are over 100 on tap and the list features some unexpected which the servers are more than happy to introduce to you. It's nice that the menu provides an alcohol content % for each option too! Although I wasn't too happy with my choice of entree I enjoy the feel of this sports bar and again, cannot forgo my love for their Truffle Fries. Sidenote: if you come for a sports game, there is no time limit and you can stay for as long as you'd like!! read more

I've been a loyal customer of Yardhouse for years now, and the food has never disappointed me! The reason I'm not giving this restaurant five stars is because of the service. It's really hit or miss. I've had multiple occasions where the service has been so terrible that I've needed to talk to their manager. Otherwise though, I love coming here for the food and drinks. Food -- just about everything I've tried has been delicious. I'm a huge fan of their burgers and truffle fries! For appetizers, try the onion ring tower...or more truffle fries. I also really enjoy their lobster mac and cheese as well as their jambalaya pasta. Drinks -- pages and pages of beers, enough for everyone to be happy. If you want to get really happy, go for their yardsticks (Yardhouse, you have to!). If you're not in the mood for a beer, they have a decently sized list of cocktails as well. Great place to come on a weekend night for drinks or to watch whatever sports games are on TV. They have multiple TVs playing multiple games all around the restaurant! read more

I thought this place was really good. We went there for a late lunch/early dinner on a Saturday and it was packed. We sat in the bar area, which was a little noisy...but I am chalking it up to the fact that it was the high tables surrounding the bar. The service was good and refilled drinks without asking or encumbrance. The food was really good. We tried the clam chowder and classic ranch salad for appetizers ($2.95 added onto any meal). They were both very good. For a $3 salad appetizer it was quite large. For entrees I had the Pepperjack Burger, and my girlfriend had the Mac & Cheese(2). They were both excellent. I would recommend this place to anyone, and probably better if you are a beer drinker as they have a huge selection. read more

Ok, we came back for dinner on a Friday night-April 1st and the place was hopping and the wait was long. I think we arrived at 5:45P. I immediately put my name in & was told 10 minutes, we would be seated.and received a "beeper". I noticed another woman coming in 10 minutes after us, as I was right by the hostess Station & was advised the same & she received a beeper too. Now I was still waiting an additional 15 minutes for this thing to buzz, so we can be seated. Then I noticed the woman that came in afterwards that she just got buzzed & was shown her table?? I went up to the hostess & had asked her why she was sat before us? & all she can say was "Well, your next!" & immediately looked down on her sheet. I asked her again- & she said again,. Oh, I just said you were next in line, just then she punch some buttons in & the buzzer went off & we were seated by another hostess, and of course, next to the other couple that was seated before us.(Just my luck!) I had complained to the that hostess how displeased I was & she was like Umm? would you like to speak to a manager? I said Yes, very much so, well the manager never came around until the end of the meal when I was had said something to our waitress Tanya, who was awesome by the way- & she brought one over right away. The manager was very understandable, I wanted to let her know, I was not looking for any discount or anything, but just to make sure that when the hostess station does do something like that, not to do it so blatant read more

Aps. It's all about the apps. Three types of wings, five kinds of sliders including Ahi sliders to die for, a Calirfonia roll that will knock your socks off and if you play your cards right you can get a large number of these for half price during their specials. How do you go wrong? We hit up the Yard House from time to time for their crazy appetizer specials. Load up the table and reload when things get low. The Ahi Sliders with Truffle fries (the fries here are amazing) are a staple along with the onion ring tower and Sweet Korean BBQ Beef. But the thing that might take you by surprise is the California Roll. Don't expect fake crab in a nori roll cut into six pieces here. We're talking a huge round stack (they call it a cake) of Sushi rice with snow crab, avacado, and cucumber arranged on top and served with wasbi soy sauce. It's a must if you're stopping for your first time. Since it's located directly across for the Showcase Cinema it also is a mandatory stop before grabbing a flick with co-workers and friends. The atmosphere is comfortable and the waitstaff is always fast and attentive. It doesn't seem to matter if it's just the better half and I or the whole 20+ team I work with the wait staff somehow manages to keep on top of it all and make the service feel completely personalized. I have to be honest, I've never actually had a meal here. Every time I come in it's a constant stream of "Oh yeah, that was great let's get those again!" with no room for an actual meal. I can't even recall looking past the appetizer section except maybe to check out what they had on tap. I'm reserving the fifth star for the day I go back and actually order an entree. My guess is they'll earn it easily if the meals match the apps. read more

High energy from the moment you enter. This is definitely a little bit of California right in Dedham. I've been to the original in LB and I have to say I enjoyed myself more here. Partially because the waitstaff/barstaff and Manager are world class. That just doesn't happen organically. They have one of the best restaurant managers in the area holding the fort here. He makes sure his team is courteous, available and professional. The best thing to do here is try a beer you've never had before. With 130 on tap you'd be a sucker to try some $10.25 mixed drink. While they are probably great; stick with the beers, that's the point. The other 'best' thing about the menu is that they are never short on avocado. I LOVE the green stuff and there are plenty of menu items with avo on it. Check out the Spicy Tuna App. It's a 6"diameter of layered decadence! Tomato, edamame, Ahi tuna, with actual chunks...a layer of avocado and shredded seaweed. I ate the entire thing! Then the Caesar salad was scrumptious, by the time my entree came, I had to box it up (Orange Chicken with Brown Rice). My BFF had edamame, gluten free beer and an avocado burger that looked yum. You cannot order anything cooler than medium here...they don't serve it! So I stuck to the raw fish! ;) Awesome place, great crowd. Thanks to our handsome bartender and Ed. read more

Yard House - Yummy Tuna Appetizer - Bars Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

Visited the Yard House last night with my boyfriend and a few friends. I had heard rave reviews from some other people and had been meaning to check it out. We called at 7:30 to put our names in for a patio table and at that time I was quoted 45 mins. We picked up our buzzer around 7:45 and waited outside for the rest of our party to arrive. We were buzzed around 8:30, so a little longer than anticipated but considering that we made a specific request to sit outside, I didn't think it was too bad. While the restaurant itself was busy for a Wednesday night, the patio didn't seem hectic or crammed at all. They have a lovely little fireplace you can sit near and they also have heat lamps overhead in case it gets a little chilly. I was pleasantly surprised with the menu selection for both food and beer. This place has something for everyone - salads, burgers, sandwiches, pizza, fish, pasta - you name it, it's probably listed. They claim to have the largest selection of draft beers in America (I'd estimate about 150-160). I think that Sunset Grill and Tap in Boston is the closest runner-up with 112. However, the Yard House beer menu is much easier to read than the pamphlet you get when ordering at Sunset! Our waitress, Meaghan, was very nice and well-informed about the menu, but she did seem to be a bit distracted while waiting on us. My boyfriend ordered an Arrogant Bastard while I stuck with my usual Blue Moon. We started with the onion ring tower and the spinach and cheese dip. The onion rings were pretty standard in quality, but the portion was huge. However, it paled in comparison to the spinach and cheese dip. I started wishing I had ordered that instead! For dinner, my boyfriend and I both ordered the Classic cheeseburgers - a pretty boring selection on this menu - but we ended up with BBQ burgers. Delicious (and cooked perfectly) but definitely unexpected. I did love the shoestring fries! Our friends both ordered the fish and chips, which looked like a more-than-substantial portion, and they seemed satisfied with their selection. The bill for the four of us came to about $100; not too bad for 3 beers, 2 apps and 4 entrees. We had a great time catching up and didn't feel rushed at all. I will definitely consider the Yard House again for lunch or dinner when I'm shopping at Legacy Place. read more
