    Lobster Garlic Noodles
    Kaelan M.

    Went here with my sisters and the food was quite tasty. I ordered the Lobster Garlic Noodles and they were really good. It had shrimp, mushrooms, spinach, and lobster meat. It was pretty good. I just wish it had more sauce in it. One of my sisters had the Thai Chili Pork chop and baby, let me tell you. That chop was deliciously marinated and cook to perfection. It was so juicy and flavorful. It came with a spicy honey sauce that elevated the whole dish. My other sister had the Jambalaya and she said it was pretty good, she just didn't like the Cajun cream sauce it with. The music was great and the service was fast and very helpful with our choices of food. Overall it was a great experience and I'll be back.

    Pink dragon

    Us and a friend stopped in for a bite to eat and a drink before the Indians game. Pink dragon margarita was 10/10, I highly recommend. The grapefruit Paloma was not great, it wasn't made with real grapefruit juice and I would call it more of a summer spritzer than a Paloma. The smoked old fashioned was smoked tableside and very good. That was fun to see. Service was quick and we were happy overall with everything. I also recommend the Miguel's queso group to share with the table

    Boneless Wings

    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!

    Truffle Fries

    I was in town for a concert and needed a place to eat that would have good food and drinks and that's exactly what I found at Yard House! The wings were probably some of the best wings that I've had in a while! The lemon pepper was lemon peppering and I would have ate more if I had the room. The fries also came out fresh and were good. I also had a margarita (two of them ) that was pretty and delicious. What also sealed the deal was the server that was friendly and attentive. If I find myself in the area, I would definitely be back. It was the perfect spot to be before our night of concert fun.

    Espresso Martini was delicious!!!
    Adrienne M.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Menu (so many choices!!)
    Antonio G.

    Speedy service. Great waiter and team. He knew we were in a crush for time with a party of 20+. Everything came out fast and hot, as well as flavorful. I didn't hear any complaints about anything messed up regarding orders. Nothing had to be sent back. I had the lobster Garlic Noodles, my wife had the shitake garlic noodles, and my daughter had a bacon cheeseburger and fries. All great! Got to come back for the Nashville hot chicken and pancakes!! Maybe also the brussel sprouts and queso appetizers!

    Garlic pasta
    Shawn B.

    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!

    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!

    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.

I liked the added touch of the date night plaque at our table when we arrived. We started with the Evil Jungle Princess (10/10 tiki drink) and the paper bag beer + blind shot pick (gross but kind of fun if you like beer, I think we got a PBR lol). For apps we got the Wagyu pigs in a blanket and the broccoli cheddar soup to share. The piggies were so savory and delicious. For entrees we got the fish and chips and rainbow roll. The fish was perfectly battered and tasted great. The rainbow roll had good flavor but really fell apart immediately. I felt like the presentation could have been improved. They also did not bring out soy sauce with the roll and didn't come even after asking our server for it. Still good flavor to the fish. We finished off the night with the monkey bread (100/10). So sweet and delicious! It came out hot and fresh with a side of ice cream. Definitely sugar overload but totally worth it. And our nightcaps were the Espresso Martini (HAVE to get) and the Campfire Vibes. Both great drinks. Highly recommend this spot for any special night out.

    FLAVORFUL RESTAURANT IN A HIP PART OF INDY…read more======================================== My daughter-in-law recommended Bluebeard for dinner on Monday, June 22, 2026. I would have to say this restaurant is my favorite in Indy right now after one meal. Most of the things we shared were amazing and for a complete description please refer to my photo of the menu. We ordered the following: Burrata with Amelia's bread as an appetizer which was delicious. Gem Salad - This was amazing and I could eat it every day of the week. Stacci house made pasta - This was a big hit and I would order this every time. Hanger Steak - My husband, aka the picky eater, loved it. I didn't try it, but everyone seemed to like it. Chicken with a few dumplings - We all loved this. Three desserts to share: a cheesecake with fruit on top, one a bread pudding and a chocolate crisp. I ordered a delicious Monsoon Season cocktail with song cai vietnamese gin, cocchi americano, st. george thai basil eau de vie, elderflower, lemon and basil oil. My son and I also ordered glasses of Port after dinner. The service was great and I loved that they were playing really good rock music like Soundgarden and others. There are lots of antique typewriters above the bar and a cool print of Kurt Vonnegut by the bathrooms. I am looking forward to going again the next time my husband and I are in Indy visiting my son and daughter-in-law unless they move out of state.

The interior is bright and fun. They're in the strip mall at 86th with the Noral Target, so there was plenty of parking. We each ordered separately, but they nicely put our order on the same overall table ticket so that it was delivered at roughly the same time. I hadn't been here before, and was excited to try it. You order at the front counter then they bring it to our table. The menu can be a little daunting if you aren't sure what you want. I chose a chicken enchilada bowl, but was then told they were out of cheese. Nothing else was jumping out at me, so I just ordered the avocado toast. (see pics) Our food came fairly quickly. I will say, my coworkers' dishes looked good. I was pretty disappointed with my avocado toast. For $9, it was a sinlgle slice of bread, only very lightly toasted. The jammy egg was maybe 1 hard boiled egg, chopped up on top, and it was cold. It did have shredded cheese over it (not sure why that couldn't have been used in my enchilada bowl?) . It also tased like it had a lot of "everything bagel" spices on it, and was overall fairly salty. So it was a little disappoining. And I left hungry. But I wasn't in the mood to order anything else. My coworkers had sweet potato fries (I tried some - really good!), and different bowls that looked good, so I would give them another try sometime, but the avocado toast did not live up to expectations. #ReviewsByRL

Definitely needed salsa, but as I mentioned earlier, the salsas were not very good. Good. I had a roasted red salsa, salsa Verde, plus chili de arbol. None of them, had anything going for them. That was positive. It tasted like it was just the ingredients without seasoning. The salsa Verde tasted like just green tomatoes, and the same for the red. The spicy one, tasted like Tomatoes and spicy peppers. The menu appeared to have a nice variety of different items. I would definitely give them a second chance on something else.

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!!!

It was accessible for wheelchairs and service animals. There's both indoor, and some outdoor seating. There was a large area for bigger groups too, inhabited by what looked like a wedding party?
