    Lobster Garlic Noodles
    Eduardo D.

    My brother in law wanted to get together so we decided to go to the Yard House. We were able to walk in and get seated immediately. Our server took our drink orders and came back with the drinks quickly. She also brought us water! We shared the cheese curds and it certainly was a great choice. The curds came fast and they were plentiful. The batter was good and light, We also shared the fried Brussels which was fried just right where it had crisp edges (you know what I mean). I decided to get the lobster garlic pasta! The lobster was cooked correctly and the meat was tender and not over done. I really enjoyed the dish. I'd order it again in the future. Overall, the service and the food were great! I highly recommend this place for some good food and drinks!

    Met up with a couple of friends here to watch a basketball game (sadly our team lost). We had a reservation and they did let us sit even though the whole party wasn't there yet. The waiter was nice, no pressure to rush us at all. We ordered the poke nachos, the chicken lettuce wraps, and 3 different tacos. All were pretty good, not huge portions. The guys enjoyed the wide selection of beers and were intrigued by the yard but not willing to drink that much! What I really thought was great was that when we were checking out on the app we could select the items we purchased for payment as well as just deciding to split an entire bill by percentage. So kudos on the bill pay for sure!

    steak salad

    Love the happy hour option on weekdays, 3-6pm which includes $2 off cocktails and 1/2 off select appetizers and pizza... ... though many of the apps are underwhelming. The chicken nachos don't taste as good as they used to, and the pizzas are extremely thin crust. The toppings on the carnivore pizza are too much for the crust and don't hold up. The 2 apps I would get on repeat are the crispy Brussel sprouts and the cheese curds. My husband's shrimp and chicken pasta was tasty on our last visit, and the Mediterranean veggie burger was A-OK. Tasted like chickpeas, garlic, and onion, but needed a little more mayo or sauce. The side house salad was bland, and the carrots were browning and on their last leg. To end on a high note, our waiter Julius was very attentive and speedy. The complimentary birthday (half) brookie was a hit for my now 9 year old, and thanks Julius for joining in on the singing! Always a fun atmosphere here, and something on the menu for everyone. Easy garage parking nearby.

    This was a very busy and happening spot when we stopped by one evening. There were plenty of people enjoying the outdoor tables but we sat inside at a booth. This is a large space and there were lots of people dining inside too. The menu is quite extensive (food + drinks) and I had a shrimp appetizer (very tasty) and we split truffle fries (nothing special). Our food came out quickly, our server was friendly, and I liked that you could pay via tablet at the table.

    This was a five star experience from beginning to end. We entered, were seated immediately and the server was at our table before we even sat own. Drinks were at the table just as quick. Ordered the calamari appetizer. I enjoyed the two dipping sauces. For the entree I chose the Nashville Hot Chicken and my dining partner chose a lobster pasta dish. Both were delicious. Portions were generous. 100% recommend that you visit here!

    Shiitake Garlic Noodles was not what was up
    Quin B.

    We met at the Yard House in Glen View for a birthday party of my wife's coworkers. The House has potential for a place to celebrate and have drinks. It's very large on the inside with plenty of tvs playing and drinks pouring. The Malibu Peach drink I had was delicious and the taste did feel like a vacation as the category it is placed under. The food however was not all that great. I had shiitake garlic noodles and was disappointed with the flavor. The mushroom or garlic flavors did not come through on a dish that should have been very savory, but much of it was degraded by something sweet that was added. Miguel's queso dip was a little better than the noodles. It was hot, rich, gooey, and came with plenty of chips and tortillas. If I came back here it would not be for the food, but maybe the drinks and lively atmosphere perhaps.

    I'm sorry today for the rating I feel I have to give. The service? 4-5 stars. Attentive waiter. Quick service. The food? I'm so disappointed. Cheeseburger 2 stars. Medium cook, but zero flavor. None. The tomato was bland. The onion is some kind of super thin paper curls with no flavor. No seasoning on the burger. It was my least fav burger. The Parmesan truffle burger my daughter had was the same way. We both had truffle fries. Needed salt. The bbq chicken salad unfortunately didn't have much bbq sauce or chicken in it. I just remember when the food was 5 stars. The sauces were excellent. Even the angry orchard on tap had this bad taste. Anyway. We will come back eventually because the waiter and I did talk, and there's been some shift in staffing, chef is new. But guys, this can kill a business that was so popular. Thanks for the great service. Wish the food was better.

    Poke Nachos

    Yard house does not disappoint. I went recently on a Friday for their happy hour and their service is quick and attentive. I love their poke nachos and getting them during happy hour is a steal!

    Crispy Brussels Sprouts
    Kim L.

    Went in on a Saturday night at 5:30, greeted by friendly hostess and seated immediately! Server came by asked if we'd like water , and them took our drink order. We were waiting on a 3rd guest , and he noticed we had birthday gifts and flowers and he asked if we wanted to have the comp bday dessert delivered to her at end ! Very nice he noticed and suggested with out us asking! I had filet mignon with carrots , asparagus & parm mashed taters! It was amazing! Daughter had a pineapple chicken dish she loved it & our guest had truffle fries , brussel sprouts and chicken lettuce wraps , she loved as well! Sever was amazing with refills and table clearing! Really enjoyed. It was a lil loud so if you want quiet not the place , but amazing food.

    Chicken fingers & Sweet Potato Fries
    Kitty K.

    The Yard House came in clutch when needing some tasty food in the middle of a snowstorm. The cozy interior was super inviting - along with our awesome server- he totally made our experience here at Yard House a perfect Valentine's Day choice! I opted for a delicious, Smokey mezcal cocktail- so yummy I ordered a second! He ordered a pineapple cider- which he loved. Not too sweet, not too sour! The cheese curds were battered perfectly, and one of his favorites. The chicken fingers were tender & juicy, and the side of sweet potatoes fries were the perfect side dish! He wouldn't stop raving about how delicious the house cheesesteak tasted. We were served freshly dipped chocolate strawberries as a complementary side for the holiday. What a perfect ending! I know this is a chain restaurant- it's against our "code" to dine at one when we travel- but Yard House was totally worth it! Give them a try!

    Half of Grilled Chicken & Avocado Sandwich
    Frances B.

    We love this place. Continues to be good for a casual dinner. Easy to get in or get on the waiting list and walk around the glen until the table is ready. Love the vast drink menu especially with so many beers on tap. I had the grilled chicken sandwich again which is always good and i love that they'll sub a gardein for just about anything. Husband got the hot honey fried chicken with pancakes which I've also had before. A little spicy for me but good.

    1/2 Grilled Chicken Avocado Sandwich & 1/2 Whiskey & Aged White Cheddar burger with Parmesan Truffle Fries!
    Amy A.

    I think Yardhouse is always a solid restaurant option. The menu has a wide variety without being overly huge. My husband and I started by sharing the queso which was great! It's a pretty large portion though! I like that they serve it with both small tortillas and chips. Then for our meal we split the chicken & avocado sandwich and the whiskey & aged cheddar burger. Both were good options! I also upgraded my side to the Parmesan truffle fries. My husband and I are not drinkers, but if you are then they have tons and tons of beer options! The staff are all very friendly and service is fairly quick as well! Our server was great at bringing us a drink refill before our first was even finished. It's a comfortable place too if you need somewhere to go watch a game!

    Cheese Pizza
    Robert B.

    The chicken tenders were very moist and my friends pizza was excellent. Service was excellent. I had a Belgium golden beer and it was served ice cold. Delicious!! My friend had 1 of the 3 sours and she felt the same way as I about hers.

    The beer is great. Food mediocre. Other than at happy hour, overpriced. There are better local options in both Glenview and Northbrook.

    Do they have outdoor heaters for the outdoor dining area?

    No they do not, but a place a couple doors from this place does.

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful with a warm, cozy atmosphere. It feels upscale without being pretentious, which made it a great place for a special occasion. Our server was friendly and helpful, so we asked for recommendations and ended up ordering a variety of dishes to share. We started with the Sweet Corn Hummus, which came with their complimentary pita bread. The pita was phenomenal! It isn't your typical plain pita you find at most Mediterranean restaurants. It has a delicious seasoning that makes it incredibly flavorful, and paired perfectly with the sweet corn hummus. We also tried the Moroccan Onion Dip. It has a slightly sweet flavor with noticeable cardamom notes. While it wasn't bad, it wasn't quite what I was expecting. Next time, I'll probably order the popular spicy whipped feta instead. One of our favorite dishes of the night was the Hamachi & Charred Avocado. It was light, fresh, and packed with flavor. Every bite was delicious. We also shared the Brussels Sprouts & Honeycrisp Apple Salad. The dressing was fresh and flavorful, but I realized I'm just not a fan of raw Brussels sprouts. The texture was a little too tough for my liking. That's on me--I should have asked beforehand if they were served raw. I think I'd enjoy it much more if the sprouts were roasted, so I probably wouldn't order this one again. For our hot mezze, we chose the Sweet Potato Latkes. They were very tasty with great flavor, although they were just a little on the greasy side. For our entrées, we ordered the Faroe Islands Salmon and the Shawarma-Spiced Skirt Steak Frites. The salmon kebabs over rice were my favorite dish of the evening. They were perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and something I'd absolutely order again. The skirt steak had great flavor as well. Although we requested medium, it came out closer to medium-rare. Thankfully, I'd rather have it slightly under than overcooked. The only disappointment on the plate was the fries--they tasted dry, almost like they had been refried instead of served fresh. The highlight of the meal, however, was dessert. The Triple Chocolate Torte was absolutely incredible. It wasn't overly sweet, the chocolate mousse was smooth and creamy, and the cake itself was rich, velvety, and decadent without being heavy. It was the perfect ending to the meal. And as part of the birthday celebration they served us frozen yogurt with sumac strawberry sauce which was so delicious. Overall, we had a fantastic birthday dinner. While there were a couple of dishes I probably wouldn't order again, the excellent service, inviting atmosphere, and several standout dishes made for a memorable experience. I would definitely come back to try more of the menu.

The service was great they were checking on us and following up on everything and very attentive. Now let's go to the food my sister recommended the shank I opted for the pork tank I think they also have a lamp one but the pork one was really good and super tender you don't even need a knife for it you just cut it with your fork or spoon in the meat comes off the bones right away. The pasta we ordered was also good came with the sausage it was the sausage rigatoni with sausage. My sister recommended the crispy brussel sprouts she said it was really good but we opted to go for the octopus I feel like the octopus was over seasoned a bit but it was cooked perfectly really tender. Will definitely be coming back to this place to try more stuff on their menu. Happy eating!

    We had made a reservation a month in advance to try a new restaurant on Father's Day. However, as…read morethe day approached, the weather forecast consistently called for thunderstorms, heavy rain, and possible flash flooding. We decided it was not a good idea to drive to an unfamiliar area in inclement weather and canceled the reservation on Friday night. We were fortunate that Social Inn is close by and is a great restaurant for celebratory dining. Best of all, they still had reservation available. As it turned out, it was just light rain the entire evening on Father's Day, but we didn't regret the change at all. Although the restaurant was not filled to capacity, it was bustling with many families celebrating Father's Day, creating a festive vibe. It's the first time that we met the owner, Daniella, who's so warm and welcoming. She invited us to choose from available tables in three different dining areas. We selected the table right by the lounge that had a large TV, homey décor, couch and cocktail table. It was also right by the big window overlooking the small and charming front patio. Our server, Chis, was very friendly, pleasant, and attentive. I ordered a Lemonade ($3), my husband and daughter each enjoyed a glass of Mer Soliel Reserve Chardonnay (2 for $26). We shared a Grilled Octopus ($22) which was cooked to perfection. The warm, lightly charred pita points paired well with the creamy and tasty beet hummus. I had a Slow Roasted Lamb Shank ($39) which was tender and full of flavors. It was a very generous portion that I shared a big piece with my husband; and still had leftovers to take home. It made a delicious lamb sandwich for my next lunch. My husband liked his Spiked White Fish ($29) so much last time that he ordered it again. Our daughter enjoyed her order of Rigatoni Sausage ($23), another generously portioned dish that she couldn't quite finish. By the end of the meal, we were too full for individual desserts, so we shared a Crème Brûlée ($8), which was the perfect sweet ending. All in all, it was a wonderful dinner. With consistent delicious dishes, warm hospitality, comfortable seating, and a convenient location, we will definitely be back again.
