    Lavender Drop and Pink Dragon
    Malena J.

    Always the best Whiskey Black Pepper Wings, Chili Garlic Edamame and Poke Nachos! They've also got a great Happy Hour food menu during the day & late night Happy Hour drinks in the evening... Great service from Eduardo on a Wednesday night :)) and the vibe of the place was perfect!-- Lively, but not too crazy, with lots of folks inside having great convos.

    Spicy Jambalaya

    I have been to yard house multiple times but I like this newer menu much better. It has a vast variety of options. I LOVED chicken enchilada stack. It came as a surprise. Firecracker shrimp was great as well. I would definitely come back. We usually visit for my husbands favorite spicy jambalaya but this time it was little disappointing, there was less sauce and the flavors seem to have changed.

    Stopped by Yard House with a group of friends around 10pm on a Thursday night. We were just looking for a chill spot for drinks and apps after having dinner earlier, and it hit the spot. Our waitress was very nice and made the experience even better. We ordered the four cheese spinach dip and Miguel's queso -- both were really good. I especially liked that the queso came with flour tortillas as well as chips, which was a nice touch. We also had a couple rounds of amaretto sours, and they were tasty and well made. Overall, Yard House is a Happy Hour go-to for a reason -- it's a solid choice for apps and drinks.

    Delicious cocktails and huge selection of draft beers. We had the Lavender Drop, the Kish & Tell ( soju, cranberry, lychee puree and lime juice)

    Joined a colleague for dinner at the City Centre location. Opted to park in the garage and take the bridge across from the Norris convention center over to the Hotel Sorrel to take the elevator down to avoid the cold weather. Everyone I encountered on the staff along the way were polite and courteous. Be sure to stop by the restroom area near the old Fireside Lounge to take a selfie on their beautiful mural wall to commemorate the evening. At the restaurant, I was greeted at the entrance by the hostess. I was quickly seated, but opted for a different table in a less crowded and quiet area. My request was easily accommodated. We ordered the Rosemary Lemon Drop and a House Margarita. Both were delicious and great portion sizes. For dinner, we chose the garlic noodles, firecracker shrimp, and fish and fries. The garlic noodles were well seasoned, and the shrimp had the perfect amount of batter. They were deep fried yet still soft and crunchy at the same time, tossed in an asian sauce. The fish and fries were a large portion with 3 filets and ample fries. The staff checked on us regularly and was polite and courteous. We didn't feel rushed and enjoyed the music and the vibe. The restrooms were clean and well stocked with the necessities. This is always one of my favorite places to dine. Will definitely come back again.

    Happy hour menu

    This is my holy grail of happy hour! They have happy hour every weekday from 3-6pm. Happy hour gives you half off select apps, half off all pizzas, and discounts on alcohol. My friends and I would order a bunch of different appetizers and pizza to share. We always leave super full and sometimes we still have left overs. The portions are more than enough to share with people. The time for the food to come out was fast but I thought the service this time around was slow and not as attentive. I liked that you could choose from outdoor seating or indoor and that they have sports to watch while you eat. If you need a happy hour place to go with friends or on a date this is the place!

    Chicken Nachos
    Jarek M.

    Short and sweet follow up to my previous reviews. Service and atmosphere: Always spot on in both areas. Food and drinks: Great selection in both categories. Food is always well prepared and presented. Very good flavours and seasoning. We have not been disappointed even once. Pricing: $$ - worth the atmosphere, location and food quality.

    We've gone to yard house for a while now, and while the staff and service has always been great the food and restaurant isn't quite what it was. At our last visit the portions were smaller which is fine if the prices followed but of course they didn't. Know where the economy is at we get it. But they really couldn't be bothered with presentation in some cases lol. I ordered birria tacos and the tacos were good but small and the beans were suspiciously similar to what you would get at the grocery store. In a can. Plus the restaurant wasn't clean this last time, I also slipped and fell like 3 times on slippery and dirty floors. I almost felt like I need to break out my old slip resistant shoes from my own restaurant days. I really hope they put some effort into maybe a mini revamp cause I'd hate to see this place turn into a bland franchise

    Yummy. On HH menu.

    Basically Dave & Buster's without the games. Loud, busy, and full of drinks and bar food. The staff were hustling around like worker ants. There's a wide variety of food and drinks, though it's mostly glorified bar food , still, what we ordered was good. I liked being able to order drinks, dessert, and a few food items and even pay right from the handheld device without needing to call the waitress.

    The food was meh. More of a place to go to drink and have some bar bites than sit down and eat. The pizza was hard to eat since the toppings kept sliding off. The chips tasted a little stale too. The service was amazing! The waitstaff are very attentive and nice. The also check on you. The place is busy, even on weeknights. It's in a nice area and has a lot of bar space. Would recommend coming here to watch a sports game or have a drink.

    We came in for happy hour on a Thursday evening and it was fairly easy to get a table. However the booth we were seated at didn't have a server yet as it was right around shift change. We didn't know and started ordering off the kiosk and the food still came around. Maybe 10-15 minutes later the manager came over and apologized for the confusion as we didn't have plates or silver ware. We understood and it wasn't a big deal. He was also helpful in getting out the correct dish because i accidentally ordered the gardein chicken tenders instead of the regular tenders. Service was pretty prompt and our waitress was nice and helpful when it came to drink orders as we weren't sure which craft beer to go with and wanted something fruity/tart. She recommended the cherry stout and passion fruit sour. We even got to try a little before ordering which was nice. The ambiance is casual and lively with plenty of folks enjoying happy hour after work. We also ordered poke nachos and the mushroom pizza. Their sliders looked good and the buffalo wings they are definitely on my list to get next visit.

    SZECHUAN CRISPY BEEF NOODLES
    Jakki J.

    Amazing date night. We were seated right away. Our server was Courtni P. She was amazing. We ordered the SZECHUAN CRISPY BEEF NOODLES and the SPICY JAMBALAYA with linguine. They were both good but the beef noodles were the star of the show. They were amazing. I would definitely go back for this dish but our server said they maybe changing it soon. The jambalaya with linguine was good but definitely should have asked for extra sauce. Our server did end up getting us extra sauce for my to-go box. The portions were huge definitely enough for leftovers.

    Mocktail
    Jai G.

    The ambiance works: somewhat dim, spacious, but approachable. A great place for a casual to nice bite to grab. We came just for a snack in the middle of the day. We had not been to a Yard House in a long time, but love how vegetarian friendly their options can be. This Yard House we were assigned an incredibly friendly server and they were accommodating for our preferred area to eat in the restaurant. The food was fine: truffle fries (3.5/5) and gardein wings (3/5). The gardein wings have not aged well in the era of Impossible and Beyond "meats" and taste a little too fake/processed, though are appropriately marinated and the sauces offer great taste. The mocktail was tasty but could have been elevated with a little more spice (4/5). Unfortunately, the major hit for this experience is the price point in comparison to the quality of the food. Yard House is quite expensive for the food quality they have. Worth trying if you have not before, though this may not be a place to repeatedly visit.

The Brussel sprouts and crab hush puppies were great. The breakfast skillet, I could have done without. It had absolutely NO flavor. Luckily I asked for some sour cream and they were able to provide it. That's the only reason I was able to slightly enjoy the dish. The drinks. The mimosa was perfect. Hard to mess that up though right? I asked if they had any stouts and if so, if they could provide a sample. I'm so happy I asked for a sample and didn't just order the "one" stout they had. The beer was flat. So disappointing! Overall, the place was okay. I'd more than likely return for their drink happy hour, but it's a hard pass outside of that.

I called back again to make sure there wasn't a minimum or anything, and they confirmed my reservation.

I told him I had just spoken to someone yesterday, and he "you have wrong information, there's no way we can do reservations with this many people - you probably called the corporate office (it's the number listed on their website so that made no sense)" and was very dismissive of me and not apologetic whatsoever. It's totally understandable that reservations wouldn't be possible on a World Cup day. Seems like the staff are not all on the same page, or I was misled to just get my group into the bar (which has happened at other bars during the tournament so it's not unheard of). Had to take my three nieces elsewhere at the last minute and don't imagine I'll be returning after that experience.

The indoor bar area is massive, and the patio is just as big, making it great for large groups or events. It definitely has that laid-back, social vibe, and it's also dog-friendly, which is a nice touch. Customer service was good, and the drink prices were reasonable, especially for a place of this size and popularity. It did get pretty crowded, which adds to the energy if you're going for that kind of atmosphere. There isn't a full kitchen, but there was a food truck on-site (I believe it was Hearsay). It was okay--not bad, but nothing standout. You can also bring in outside food or order from nearby spots, which is convenient. Nothing super fancy or over-the-top, but if you're looking for a casual place to hang out, watch a game, and enjoy drinks with a group, this gets the job done.
