    Chicken Nachos
    Marianne H.

    Went in after a fun day at children's museum. Was able to seat us in 10 minutes with a party of 11. Lucked out with 1/2 price appetizers and happy hour drinks. Food was delicious and bill was even better. Service was great. Family friendly and very understanding of kids. Great place and comfortable for all ages.

    I came here right before a fever game so it was a bit busy because they had their happy hour going on. We ordered appetizers and they all came out pretty fast with how busy it was. The poke nachos were superb- they were my favorite! The sauces on them were amazing and it had plenty of ahi on them. There's street parking downtown and in front of the restaurant if you're lucky. There's also a parking garage across the street. The interior is large enough where you don't feel like you're eating on top of somebody. It's very spacious. The ambiance was definitely buzzing because it was before the game. So if you're coming before an event being hosted downtown I'd suggest coming two hours before the start time of the event. Overall the food is always a 10/10 for me every time I come. Ahi tuna is always a hit with me!

    Espresso Martini was delicious!!!

    I always can count on you! This is a go to spot all over the US for me. Being downtown Indianapolis I don't get down there much but it was well worth the drive. Yesterday,3/25/26 I decided to grab a cocktail and some food to go from the bar. Jess and Lydia were so sweet and helpful as I couldn't decide on a cocktail too many good choices. I opted for the their Espresso Martini that was fantastic! Happy hour is always a plus here if you can make it. I had one of my favorites while just relaxing at the bar The Poke Nachos! Now if you don't like poke you may or may not enjoy these but if you're like me and enjoy wonderful flavors with a kick try these!!! To go I orders the Garlic Noodles another go to of mine. Hmmmmm so good and the brussels sprouts with these you can't go wrong. Many more items to try here and they do a great job. Shout out to Indy's Yard house you might be my favorite experience so far!

    Best meal we had in INDY! Amazing selection of meals from tacos to pizza to noodles and a HUGE selection of beer. Literally the first half of the menu is their beer. I'll definitely be coming back.

    Great draft line. Spacious and open. Friendly service. Lots of TVs. Worth a visit.

    Chicken Nachos, spinach dip
    Jessica B.

    Came here for happy hour with my work girls and had a great time! The appetizers did not disappoint - everything we ordered was on point. My only note: the spinach dip could use a little more love. The chip-to-dip ratio is off, and you'll find yourself wanting more dip before the chips are gone. Beyond that, Yard House delivers. It's a great spot for groups - family-friendly, downtown, and clearly focused on making everyone happy. The menu is massive, which means no one gets left out, and there's always something new to try on your next visit. Already looking forward to going back.

    I've been to Yard House a couple times and this time the food this time was decent. My coworkers and I went for half priced apps and we ordered a ton of food. No judgement! The food was lukewarm and didn't seem fresh, but the taste was still there. The ambience is still inviting and perfect for big or small groups. Our server was amazing and tentative to our needs. I'd definitely return for the apps with hopes that they will be hot!

    Sandy S.

    Always the best beer in town! Delicious appetizers, extensive menu filled with favorites, lots of tv's, quick and fantastic service! Yard House is great to watch a game at, grab a beer, have happy hour...and stay for lunch or dinner! It's always fun, always delicious and you always leave happy!

    Truffle cheese burger Sweet Potato Fries

    Service was good, nothing of note Got the truffle cheese burger medium well which was delicious. I liked the seated bun and enjoyed the truffle flavor with the burger. Sweet potato fries were in large quantity but a little floppy. Would come back again!

    Came here for an alumni pre college meeting before they head off to college in the fall, we were seated right away, and our waiter was great! Attentive and accommodating! I enjoyed a spicy melon mocktail, and enjoyed some very tasty tomato soup, with a grilled cheese, that I added avocado to, would definitely visit again! Love the vibe and selection! Check them out if you are in the area!

    Anniversary dessert
    Melitta S.

    We had a fabulous dinner tonight!! Our server Morgan was exceptional!! I enjoyed the tacos (Korean chicken and battered fish ... both perfectly spicy accompanied by beans and rice) Cohort got cilantro lime chicken --- watching his figure. I loved both cocktails.. I had a coco passion and picante margarita. Each delicious in their own right. Cohort had beers. This place has over 100 on tap. Our server found out it was our Anniversary and brought dessert .... Um tear .... Way to make the night!!!! I'd come back when we're in the area. Lots of Football opportunities

    The food was phenomenal, service was quick & great, & there was no wait. It was freezing in the restaurant but that would be the only downside.

    Yard house came up first when I Googled board games & drinks near me. Website doesn' tmention. Is that a thing there?

    I personally don't recall seeing board games. They do have a wide variety of drinks to indulge in from the bar.

    Can my 20-year-old eat here?

    Yes.

    Do u have gluten free options?

    There are many wheat-free options!

    Would this be a good place for me and my 5 friends to go before prom?

    Yeah. I think that is the nice place. I have seen there were many groups coming over for their birthday or other celebrations. I would still suggest call them and check before heading out!

I did see they allow you to make reservations on Open Table, so I booked it for a weekday to try it out. It wasn't nearly as busy as the parking lot looked, there was plenty of seating. It was a nice day so they had the windows open and they also had someone playing live music so it was a tad loud but, not overly loud where you can't hear your conversation. The menu is not your typical menu, it's very crafty if that's a word. The service was very good, and she explained the menu well and we took her up on her recommendations. Turkey pastrami which I had never had before. It tastes really fresh and felt healthy. The salad comes in a little small bowl but full of goodness. It's a really nice place for a girls night out, or a family dinner. Wouldn't consider it a good place for date night as it is pretty loud.

Themed around Indy native Kurt Vonnegut, you'll see old typewriters, books, and names of menu items paying tribute to the famous author. The menu feels high class but the atmosphere and wait staff are friendly and welcoming. You could dress up for a special occasion or come in casual every day wear and either fit in just fine. Their ever changing menu featuring local produce and meats is always unique, inventive, and most importantly, delicious. Their cocktail list is one of the best and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had an extensive mocktail list as well. Their sodas and syrups are all house-made which means every drink is full of fresh flavors. I had a lemon pasta dish an my husband ordered the hanger steak. Both were cooked perfectly and composed of flavors and textures that complimented each other perfectly. There's nothing that wouldn't be good on their menu because you can tell the chefs are exceptional as well as the ingredients they choose. I really can't say enough good things about this place, it remains one of my favorite places to enjoy a meal and no matter what I choose, I'm never disappointed.

Reviewed the menu seemed to be eclectic enough, off we go. The place had a decent size outdoor dinning area. Few of the tables were occupied. Table for one...indoor, outdoor was the question? Indoor. Although the weather was beautiful, indoors was my choice. Al fresco dining is not my first choice. I don't like to do battle over my meal with insects and other wild life. I deducted 1 star for red wine served at room temperature. How is it that, red wines are chilled (55F) on the west coast but served at 'room temperature' (72F, 82F...) on the east coast. Had two dishes, they were OK, service was ok Would I go back? Yes, if the red wine was chilled.

Listen... this wasn't just a dish, this was an EXPERIENCE. The grits were creamy, smooth, and perfectly rich, but that sauce layered on top?? Whew. Flavor on flavor on flavor. You've got that deep, savory, slightly smoky profile with juicy shrimp, sausage, and those pickled onions cutting through everything with the perfect tang. Every bite felt intentional. Like somebody knew what they were doing in that kitchen. And can we talk about how beautiful it was plated?? Because yes, I absolutely appreciated the aesthetics before I even picked up my fork. Paired it with a simple coffee moment, sitting by the window, and honestly... it felt like a reset. Not rushed, not loud, just good food, good atmosphere, and a chance to actually enjoy it. If you're looking for a brunch spot that feels a little more elevated, a little more intentional, and delivers on both flavor and experience. This is it. 10/10. I'll absolutely be back!!!
