Lavender Drop

In town visiting and came to Yard House to eat with a cousin. I had the best experience. Jessie was our server and was absolutely amazing. Not only was she attentive, but very inviting and easy to talk to. She recommended the Lavender Drop, which I didn't even know was a thing, and it was delicious! Big portions on food and everything was fresh! The restaurant was also clean.

steak salad
Tricia D.

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 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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

Carne asasa tacos and regular cheese burger
Nick M.

Every time we come here the food is always cooked to perfection. The burgers are great and have a really good flavor. The wings are perfectly sized, sauces, and crispy! Excellent with their ranch. The tacos are a hit - I've done the carne asada and leave me craving for more And of course the beer and cocktail selection is on point. Come on down! Great service and ambiance too!

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.

Really nice bar with a few TVs for sporting events -- but I wouldn't' call it a sports bar. Friendly local crowd and attentive bartenders. Menu is an interesting one, with some large and delicious apps. Along the way and through a couple of visits I've enjoyed literally everything I've had there. From the app menu, props for the eggplant stack (unique presentation), the hummus trio, and the octopus -- all of which were solid, all of which were enough to be an entree. The entrees are a range of sandwiches (predictable and good), pastas (loved the mushroom pappardelle), chicken (ok, haven't tried them yet -- can get chicken entrees anywhere!), steaks/chops (the pork chop is excellent as is the skirt steak), and seafood (bravo for the swordfish -- which I don't see around these parts much, and the seafood platter). Service was a little spotty at the tables, but that was at an early visit and perhaps it's been worked out; bar service truly outstanding. Glenview is becoming a more competitive restaurant market with several new entrants (although many of them in the old downtown); hoping this family-owned/operated place succeeds the way it deserves to!.

What a fun venue and restaurant! Walking into the place you have to walk up the stairs. The…read moredining area/bar is in the middle and on either end are the courses, two on each side. We first sat down for a meal, and coming on a early weeknight it was not that busy at all when we arrived. They had a happy hour deals for $6 of four different kinds of shareables. We tried all four. The loaded tots, Nashville hot chicken baos, onion dip with chips and southwest quesadillas. Our favorites were the loaded tots and onion dip. The loaded tots had a decent amount of small strips of bacon and was covered with a white and cheddar queso. Very good and tasty and the right amount of toppings on it. The onion dip was good too, the dip came in what looked like a smaller sauce side but there was plenty, we had leftover dip after finishing the chips. The bao were decent sized, came in a set of 2 and wasn't overly spicy. The least favorite was the quesadillas, just not much to the flavor and filling. After eating we played a 9 hole round of putt putt. The holes are fun and interactive. You pay for the round at the kiosks and then get your ball at the start of the course. Each hole is digitized and shots are auto calculated for a score. It was a fun way to play putt putt.

This was a mixed bag for us. My husband and I took our five year old son here recently…read more Ultimately it was a fun experience but with a few caveats. The restaurant inside is convenient and our server was great. The woman working inside the kitchen was also extremely sweet to our son. My husband ordered the burger and said it was great. I had the hot chicken sandwich and it was very dry. Prices were reasonable so I'd say this lands in the "fine" range. There are four courses of nine holes each - ruby, emerald, sapphire, and amber. Some holes do repeat across all courses, which seemed odd. The designs were fun for both adults and kids. We definitely had a great time on the two courses we did. It did get a bit congested at one point, and they were not very busy. For whatever reason 90% of the groups were on two adjacent courses while the other two courses had one group between them. The distribution was not the best. There are also these numbered posts at the front of each hole to let you know which hole you're at. The problem is they are directly in the way of your swing. It's a strange design. The ball automatically keeps track of your strokes. This was pretty cool and we all had a great time with it. However, the voiceover that tallies your strokes at the end is very sarcastic and pokes fun at you if you go over. This is funny for adults but discouraging for kids. My son was having fun and then heard the voiceover and asked if he did a bad job. It would be great to have the option to play without the voiceover if you're playing with kids. My husband and I just kind of cheered over it to keep our kid distracted. We had a lot of fun and found it reasonably priced ($52 for three of us to play two 9 hole courses). We will definitely go again.

The plentiful and delicious brunch buffet goes for a very reasonable $35 per adult, $15 for kids 6-12, and free for kids 5 and under. Throw in a photo session with Santa and Mrs Claus and it's a fun holiday deal that can't be beat. This particular Santa was the most fun and gregarious Santa I have ever encountered also. After the photos, he spent some quality chat time with the kids he encountered. The food and food layout and seating layout here were great and it's a much better setup here than at the overly spread out Oakbrook location. I particularly enjoyed their prime rib, smoked salmon, and waffles with home-made whipped cream. Our server was prompt and attentive despite how busy it was.

So I provided my information to them so management could call me back and they could process a refund. Surprise surprise, they never called me back. Thanks.
