Jambalaya
Jo C.

Still one our favorite places in Waikiki we enjoy sitting at the bar. The food is really good for a chain restaurant. Pumpkin spice beer last night was yummy! Some of our favorites are yhe Jambalaya, kale/romaine salad, clubhouse, and tacos.

Buffalo wings and BBQ

We stopped in during happy hour and were pleasantly surprised. The half-price appetizers were a great deal! The cheese curds were the standout--they tasted like they were battered in-house and were perfectly crispy with gooey cheese inside. The boneless wings were decent as well, and overall we really enjoyed both the food and the drinks. We typically try to avoid chain restaurants while on vacation, but we were hungry and this was close by. In the end, we're glad we stopped in. Our server, a dark-haired gentleman whose name we unfortunately didn't catch, was fantastic. He was very attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Great service and a solid happy hour.

Service here was sooooo bad. Came on a Thursday evening, and it was not terribly busy. Our server was not attentive. We only got dessert, which was ok. It took an extremely long time for us to get our dessert, You pay your bill at the table, thankfully, so we didn't have to wait for a check. I had to get up and ask for a box because no one was checking up on us.

Happy hour deals!!

Yard House hands down has the best happy hour deals on this island. Not only do they offer half off select appetizers and pizzas, but it also runs from 2-6pm (M-F)! That's crazy good. The portions are LARGE and the quality of food is good. My favorites so far: Poke Nachos - they are generous with the poke and the flavor is perfect. You really cannot go wrong with $12 on this one. Pizza - large and nice crispy thin crust. The cheese and pepperoni are fresh. Calamari - crispy and fresh, the flavors are there and this goes perfectly with pretty much anything. Spinach Dip - I actually really loved the spinach dip here because it's super cheesy hot and fresh. Even the chips are delicious. I could probably eat one order of these on my own it was so good. In the past I have also tried the nacho dip (beware this is HUGE), chicken tenders, sliders, and salad cups - and they were all good. You really can't go wrong with Yard House Happy Hour. This is the perfect spot if you have a group and you don't want to break the bank. The service has always been good here as well.

Lobster Garlic Noodles

We visited as a party of four with a baby and a toddler. We didn't have a reservation, but we were seated fairly quickly despite how busy the restaurant was. The atmosphere is lively and definitely geared toward people who enjoy drinks with their meal, so it can get a little loud. Even so, the staff was accommodating to our family. My husband and I shared the lobster garlic noodles and the poke nachos. Both portions were generous and perfect for splitting. We got a grilled chicken on the kids menu, and it was okay. Overall, it was a great dining experience with delicious food, a vibrant atmosphere, and reasonable wait times even without a reservation. We'd definitely come back.

Poke nachos, good but not worth an hour wait.
Mark F.

Could have been better, we stopped in this afternoon for some drinks and a quick bite to eat. During a shift change we were asked if we wouldn't mind paying up and the next shift could finish taking care of us. But we were finished already just waiting on our poke nachos which actually never came. The wait person realized this and went ahead and put the order in so I think all in all we waited almost 1± hour for our poke nachos. We ended up getting a separate check just for that and although it was much cheaper during happy hour there was no real I'm sorry type of feeling expressed.

Relaxing while the Mrs gets some pampering done. An Ommegang and a Gulden Draak ... if you know, you know . Rory behind the bar took good care of me. We'll be back

We have been in Waikiki for 12 days we come every year, our go-to is the Yard House which is one of many restaurants we really enjoy. the food is exceptional. The service is absolutely exceptional as well and you can't beat the ambience with the good music and people watching. Our server was Liv she knocked it out of the park. Unbelievable service. Very very happy both my wife and I. As for dinner, I had the pork chop which is absolutely delicious and my wife had the shrimp tacos which was equally delicious. Unbelievable job guys! See you next year!

Dinnertime!
Bengie M.

Best selection of brews we've found on the Island so far. Service from Tanner was 5's outstanding. Everyone from the hostesses, to the server to the bartenders go out of their way to satisfy. Our second visit already this week as we return to enjoy happy hour and 1/2 off a good number of select appetizers and $2 - $4 off beers ( depending on the size and style). I'm sure we'll be back again before we leave !!! Mahalo

1/2 Yard Beer!
Rendon L.

I think over 100 beer on Tap, food is always hot and presented well. I've had good service when I have been, just know they get busy there in Waikīkī. Be patient and you'll enjoy yourself!

John C.

Felt like beer night so we walked from Ala Moana and skipped the line to get a bar seating. Half-yard beer was amazing and so was the pineapple beer! Also ordered food and I was so impressed by the cook on this steak and cilantro chicken. Steak was perfectly medium rare and it's definitely on par with a steak house. $50 for a 20oz ribeye is hard to beat around here. Service was amazing as well with quick and professional staff. Definitely going again!

Blackened ahi, Margherita pizza
Virgie L.

They have a real good happy hour. Food was good & drinks at a good price. Had a happy vibe and service was good. We had a great waiter. I forgot his name but I did take a picture with him haha. I would go again

Kathryn R.

If you are down in Waikiki and want to take advantage of a really good happy hour I recommend Yard House. During my first visit I did their beer flight to try 4 different local beers and really enjoyed it. Good bar food and they were quick to bring my daughter her meal when we ordered, really appreciated that. Not too loud or too much going on but a good amount of people coming and going. Second visit our server made great recommendations and I really liked the Lilikoi Margarita.

The vegan sour cream is so creamy, thr coleslaw is perfectly tangy and crunchy, and the vegan fish is delightful. My husband got the chicken tacos which were hot, in contrast to the fish tacos. They had avocado and a green sauce and we also liked these though the fish were our favorite. The hibiscus lemonade was lovely and refreshing also. The service here is very fast. We basically ordered and then looked around at the other truck menus and by that time our food was ready! I would definitely recommend this place especially for vegetarians and vegans and would love to come back!

The bartender told me I would have to buy something, I said of course. As I planned to eat and drink the entire game there. The owner then came out with someone else to change the channel right after I bought a beer. Needless to say I left and went to Rivals where the bartender was more than happy to change one of their many tvs to the WNBA finals. Needless to say I won't be back to the place that baits and switches. Update: the operations manager came to Rivals to apologize. He said he didn't know someone asked to watch WNBA Finals game and didn't see me, so when another guest asked for it to be switched, he switched it. That may be true, but his female manager who was so negatively vocal about someone wanting to watch women's sports was standing right there and didn't say a word. Not very Aloha Spirit like.
