I lovee yard house! I can always rely on poke nachos or a pizza; and some beer to satisfy my needs. The service is fast and reliable. The food quality is the same every time. As long as you know what you're getting yourself into, I love the outgoing atmosphere inside as well. read more

I've enjoyed coming to Yard House many times over the years and recently discovered their happy hour, which is one of the reasons I chose to visit again. Unfortunately, my experience yesterday was disappointing. We arrived at 5:10 PM, well within happy hour (3-6 PM). Because I had my dog with me, I requested patio seating. At the time, there were only a few occupied tables on the patio and several empty tables that simply needed to be bussed. I waited about 20 minutes before checking with the hostess again, only to be told the tables were waiting to be cleaned and that they were short-staffed. I completely understand staffing challenges, but what was frustrating was that during that time I never saw anyone attempt to clear or reset the patio tables, while guests continued to be seated inside. If staffing was truly the issue, management should have stepped in to help turn tables and support the team. After waiting a total of 27 minutes, we were finally seated. Unfortunately, our server was then given several tables at once and was clearly overwhelmed. This was not the server's fault--he was doing his best under the circumstances. However, because of the delay, we didn't even receive water until after 6:00 PM. My dog, as well as the rest of us, had been waiting quite a while by that point. Our beers arrived several minutes later, after happy hour had already ended. The food and drinks were good, and our server worked hard, but the overall experience was negatively impacted by what appeared to be poor staffing decisions and a lack of management support. A little more attention to table turnover and guest flow could have made a huge difference. read more

We came here with a group of 8 and we enjoyed our experience! We came during lunch time and the hostess was kind and accommodating! We also needed a booster seat and two kids menus. Our waitress was friendly and attentive! We came during happy hour so I ordered a glass of their house wine and poke nachos and both were half off! The entire table enjoyed their food and drinks! The bathrooms were clean and this place is huge in the inside! They have all different types of seating! read more

I wish I took a photo of their Brussel sprouts appetizer it is SOOO yummy! The restaurant itself is quite big you can sit at the bar, inside and I was even allowed to bring my dog to sit with us outside! Personally, I love their appetizers more than their entrees, but nonetheless their food is enjoyable! read more

Food was good, service not great. They messed up my order and I waited too long to have my correct dish, but we left satisfied because we all ate well. Waiter was a little distracted, slow and not very attentive. It was a good place to enjoy the World Cup game. At the end we had a good time, it would have been great with a better service. read more

**This is an Updated visit*** I arrived at Yardhouse this time at 11am when they opened. The host was training someone but she was still able to make time to check me in. I got seated in the booth in the corner by Steph and Edison was my Waiter. Mind you, I was the first one seated in his section because I was the only one seated at this time, other than a couple of guys who sat at the bar. I ordered 10pc Crispy Chicken Wings with BBQ sauce and waited about 12 minutes before I got my order. While waiting on my food, there were two other parties that were seated in the same row I was in, so Edison had two other tables to tend to. I was the first to arrive. I do remember the first time I ordered these wings they were dripped in more sauce, but this time, the chef was a little shy haha. I asked Edison if he could either bring me some extra BBQ sauce or have the chef put some more on for me. He gladly agreed and brought me back two cups of BBQ sauce. The wings were actually really crispy and good. I started to notice that Edison wasn't checking on me as often as he was the other two tables that came in after me. He would ask them if they needed more sauce or condiments but not me. I even saw one time as I was eating, he looked right at my table but he quickly looked away again without checking on my table. It got to the point where he checked on the tables (who came after me) without saying anything to me so I had to yell his name across those two tables just to ask for his help. I yelled, "Edison. Edison!! Can you help me??" I mean don't like to yell but I had to speak up. I wanted my to go box and I just wanted to get out of there. This was the third time I've visited this Yardhouse location, but the SECOND time I've been treated differently by these waiters. I don't like to play the "racist card" but in these SAME two instances, I was treated much much more poorly than my white counterparts at this Yardhouse in particular. This will be my last visit at this one. I don't like the way they made me feel. read more

They're always in motion, they make sure everyone in their area as well as surrounding is taken care of, they're personable, and give the most efficient and speedy of service.

I understand that happy hour gets busy. Your bartenders and servers are not present or good at customer service. The poke nachos I ordered barely had anything on them. Your Brea and chino hills location is much much better. Fresher and your employees are better. I was ignored while at the bar, barely asked how I was doing. It made me so upset to see that most of your employees and staff are socializing with each other versus taking care of customers. It made me so annoyed I closed out and left. I won't be returning to this location. Your staff lacks awareness and your food sucked. I shouldn't have to chase employees around to ask a question, or close out! Employees not attentive. read more

We were seated quickly. Our server was very attentive and helpful with suggestions. She said the pineapple mule was really good. It was!! She also said the steak bowl I ordered was really popular and very good. I loved how many onions were in it!!! I also loved the quinoa, mushrooms, and snap peas that were in the dish. All delicious'!!! read more

Really enjoy coming here for their happy hour. Beautiful view of the sunset in Long Beach. The staff is also very nice. Very accommodating for our dog and baby.

Great food! Good service! Waiter was kind. Sat immediately. Dog friendly. Vegetarian friendly. My only issue was the cleanliness.

Group recommendation for drinks after doing an escape room. Located at Irvine Spectrum and close to Pepper Lunch. Parking in the biggest issue during peak times. They do have directory throughout the spectrum and it points you to the direction toward your destination For first timers, this place is known for variety of draft beers and diverse California classics such as pizzas, burgers, steaks, and salads. Even have under 700 calorie menu. Other than drafts, they have coke fountain products include Dr. pepper. Female waitress was helpful on answering questions/concerns and offer some recommendations. Order the fried calamari, onion ring tower and Korean ribeye Fried calamari is fried to perfection so it's not too oily nor greasy. Onion ring tower is must have and it's not too oily nor greasy as well. Let's talk about the Korean ribeye. Not only it's the most expensive item ($44) but it's the biggest oz on the menu (20 oz to be exact). Ask medium-rare and it blows your mind. They have regular 20oz ribeye but instead of friends...it's garnish with mashed potatoes and asparagus I believe and it's like $3 cheaper. Overall, very good. The only issue is that I had to ask two different people on the status of my order while the rest of the party got their food already. Recommend this place as long service is good read more

Stopped at the Irvine location before going to the movies later. We just enjoyed all the great food choices on the menu. I had my usual Poke Nachos and Garlic Shiitake mushrooms, my nieces and husband had sandwiches and the ahi tuna salad. I tried their new Orange Yardtini and it was delicious! The service was great, very friendly and always checked in on us. The ambiance was casual loud, just what you'd expect here. read more

A staple happy hour spot in Irvine right inside spectrum. It is a decent place to hang during the happy hour as the prices are reasonable but the moment it's not happy hour prices, it immediately becomes not worth it. Just like when the clock strikes 12 for Cinderella, when the clock strikes past happy hour just close the tab and leave. read more

went to yard house for happy hour which is from 3-6 pm! our server was super nice and helped us get our order in before 6 pm so we were able to take advantage of happy hour pricing. the food is decent, I think the chicken nachos are the best but we also got calamari, boneless wings, margarita pizza, sashimi, and lettuce wraps. I also got a strawberry lemonade which was delicious! the ambiance is great for large groups and big hangouts! read more

Came in and sat at the bar and we were served but no one came to check on us so we called a server over and asked if he can help us check out. (His name is Ricardo) He didn't say anything and grabbed the iPad and looked at us with a rude face and said "tap here" but we asked for it to be split and he just looked at us and took the iPad away and split it after. His whole demeanor was rude like we were an inconvenience but there was no one around to help us. I work in a restaurant so I make sure to be nice to all workers and this was very unwarranted since we asked politely read more

I thought for months about whether I wanted to write this review, as I am quite hesitant to say something very negative about an establishment. However, I do have to share that my experience here was unfortunately one of the worst that I have had in years, mostly due to the service :// I came here with my parents and some of my extended family, including a toddler. From the get go, the waiters were extremely dismissive when we got into the restaurant - they rolled their eyes when we tried to get someone to serve us, and when we ordered mostly plates to share, our waiter seemed quite angry and asked us "that's it?" The food we ordered (particularly the shiitake garlic noodles and calamari) was also consistently cold and subpar. When our waiter brought them out they all but threw the plates down in front of the toddler in our group, which could have been dangerous. I have had good experiences here in the past, but this was not one of them. I do not know what happened this time when we went, but I truly hope it was a one off! read more

Food was incredible and so so filling for a decent price! I tried their new Szechuan crispy beef plate and wow it was incredible! I wish it had a bit more spice to it but still ate the whole thing! It was pretty mellow for my visit this time around so the waiters were always readily available and around. read more

Just your typical casual dining restaurant. Get seated quick in a clean dark atmosphere but the food can lag on busy weekends (game days!). As always a GREAT selection of beers on tap and the appetizers are all amazing. But the entrees we tried are mid level. Parmesan truffle fries are a MUST, onion ring tower is MUST #2 (ask for a side of ranch). But they brought us a side of fries instead of the tower & charged us for a tower. Vodka chicken pasta with fettuccine is okay. Jambalaya with fettuccine was okay too. Didn't expect Michelin status pasta but still below my expectations. I'll stick to a truffle mushroom pizza next time (way better in my humble opinion)! read more

I came here on Saturday night with my family of 4. We love yardhouse and come all the time. The food was great as always but this time the service was lacking and a bit unprofessional. My server was Alana. We unfortunately started out waiting over 5 minutes to have anyone come up to us. While she got us our drinks and took our order, after our food came out she was just seen talking with other coworkers! While my kids needed refills. I also heard inappropriate language being used and would hope Yardhouse would take more pride in professionalism. We will be back because my kids love this place but I do hope we get a different server! read more

I don't usually eat at American chain restaurants, but my boyfriend was craving cheese curds one day and I remembered coming here when I was younger for their happy hour 1/2 off appetizers. It wasn't bad, but nothing necessarily stood out to me as particularly amazing. It was just one of your usual casual dining spots. For food, we ordered the fried cheese curds, poke nachos, and fried calamari. I also got the strawberry mule and my boyfriend got 2 pints of beer. The poke nachos were still my favorite, but I feel like there should be more fish. The cheese curds were also good, though I wish they were a bit warmer (they came out room temp). The fried calamari was just alright, a bit bland but not the worst. The service was great. We got seated immediately and our server kept checking in on us and even gave me the recommendation for my drink which was pretty good. Overall not bad for a casual hangout spot, especially with the happy hour deals going on from 4-6. read more

We came here for their happy hour (Monday through Friday 3pm-6pm) which includes half off appetizers, $2 off cocktails, wine, and, beer, and $4 off half yards. They also have a late night happy hour (Sunday through Wednesday 10pm-close) that only includes drink specials. I recommend making reservations for big parties. If you have a smaller party it might be a little wait but you can take your chances at the bar tops. We were fortunately to grab two chairs at the bar right before happy hour ended. We ordered the poke nachos, cheese curds, boneless wings, carnivore pizza, and parm truffle fries. The poke nachos were good with a balance of sweet and spicy. The cheese curds were crispy with good dipping sauces. We got the boneless wings with Korean chili garlic sauce which were good. The carnivore pizza was meaty and filling. The parm truffle fries were just okay. For drinks we got the grapefruit paloma and espresso martini which were decent. It's a good place to hang out with friends and family and you'll often find large groups here. However, when it's super packed it might be hard to flag down servers and bartenders. There are TVs throughout the restaurant which makes for a good place to watch sports games. The happy hour deals were really good but I wouldn't pay full price for them. read more

Yard House has a special place in my heart because I met my husband here for our first date.. so I'm a little biased! But ok YH has the *best* happy hour! Most beers are $2 off and appetizers are half off, which is amazing because the appetizers happen to be the best things on the menu. We usually get the boneless wings, chicken tenders, and a pizza. Service is fast and friendly. There's usually a wait on weekends, but you can always shop nearby while you wait for your table! read more

I love the food and drinks at Yardhouse but this locations service is consistently rough. I usually think that bar service is a lot quicker but it doesn't seem that way. Our bartender making our drinks and taking food order was very nice, but the service was very slow. I'm not sure if this location is understaffed, but it's unfortunate. I will say I thought the poke nachos tonight were very good and filling! This is the only location in the area so I'll continue to come back but I do wish they could improve service. read more

We've been coming to this restaurant quite often, so it was disappointing to have such a bad experience this time. The food we ordered had a burnt taste, and the server brought us a dish that we had never ordered. Unfortunately, the service was also very poor and inattentive. We really hope the management pays more attention to both the food quality and the service. We've enjoyed coming here before, but experiences like this make it difficult to want to return. read more

Poor excuse for a steak. I asked for it well-done assuming it would be self explanatory, but apparently not since this steak was cooked unevenly. Broccoli was fine. Mashed taters needed some more milk to make them creamy. Although I've been here many times with minor inconveniences, I should've expected this from a fast food place. read more

Yard House - 20 oz steak - New American Near Me - Irvine, California

This is actually the first negative restaurant review I have ever written. I usually avoid leaving bad reviews because I understand that service can be stressful and busy at times, and everyone can have an off day. Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing enough that I feel it needs to be shared. The service from our server, Kimberly , was extremely poor from start to finish. Our water was never proactively refilled, and whenever we asked for water, she acted like she did not want to provide it and showed clear reluctance and frustration. What made the experience worse was the overall unprofessional behavior. While we were still eating, she attempted to remove plates we were actively using. She also threw a used napkin from another table onto a plate she was taking from our table, which was completely inappropriate and unhygienic. Throughout the interaction, she continued making rude facial expressions and seemed irritated whenever we requested anything. When we asked to speak with a manager about the situation, we were told the manager was "not available" and would not come speak with us. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have had, not because of the food, but because of the service and lack of professionalism. read more

TLDR: We hadn't been to this location before, but we were blown away by the food and the service. My +1 and I were given a gift card, so we decided to make an evening of it and enjoy the Spectrum. The place is easy to find, and there's a parking garage nearby. Actually, there are two - one you have to pay for, and one you don't. We preferred the latter. There was plenty of parking available. We had reservations and we were seated promptly. The Yard House is like an upscale sports bar, so it's a bit loud, but we were still able to have conversation. We were greeted in short order by Jess, who was an absolute gem of a server. She gave great advice when we asked, came around just enough, and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. We started off with an app, the blackened ahi sashimi. It was amazing. It was seared on the outside with a black pepper crust but the rest was delicate and tender. The blend of textures was wonderful. My +1 liked it so much she ordered the sandwich, which was more of the same goodness, and garlic truffle fries to go with it. We could eat those forever. I decided to try the Korean BBQ tacos. I was a little skeptical of the fusion, but felt daring. I was glad I took the risk. The beef was perfectly seasoned and the onions and other garnish really brought all the flavors together. I also ordered a side Caesar salad to go with it, which was also good. It also needs to be said, they have an extensive drink menu and we both indulged. I loved the both passion fruit sour I ordered first, and the cherry chocolate stout I had for dessert. When it came to paying our tab, we tried using the tablet on the table. It took the gift card balance, and then the remainder on a card with no problem. Overall, we had a great time, and look forward to coming back and trying different things on the menu! read more

I would expect for a place like this to have it more organized and clean. read more
