    Shrimp Zoodle Bowl
    Justine C.

    We got seated with a party of 10 of us in a large booth. It was fairly cramped but it was manageable. The server was really nice and efficient. I loved how you can see tvs anywhere you sit in the room. I ordered the espresso martini and the shrimp bowl. I loved the flavors of my shrimp bowl, it was the perfect portion as well! It was super busy so service was fairly slow. Overall a solid spot for any party size and various kinds of foods.

    Their salmon dinner with a teriyaki glaze with mashed potatoes and veggies. Very tasty.

    I've been here several times, but it's hard to beat their half off appetizer happy hour from 3-6pm. My wife and I went this week. We got the 3-cheese pizza, chicken strips, and sliders. All were outstanding. I got a 20oz. Local lager. Wife just got a soda. Anyway, we both got the salmon dinner as well. It comes with mashed potatoes and veggies. It's really good and reasonably priced at $26. Our server was quick and had our waters refilled all the time. He was friendly and the food came out quick. The place itself has a lot of TVs but it's not terribly loud. You can hear yourself talk and still watch different sports shows on many different screens. They have millions of beers and ales available, and it's $2 off most of their beer during happy hour. I really like their food, and the salmon dinner is outstanding. We brought a lot of our food home for leftovers for the next day.

    Salmon with veggies and potatoes, delicious sweet sauce was served on the side.

    Visit date: 11/12 I had an early dinner here solo while traveling for work. It was 5pm and the place was PACKED! I couldn't believe it, but it was likely the great happy hour specials on food and drink. Definitely packed for a weeknight at 5! I ordered a beer at the bar and then placed a carryout for the teriyaki salmon. The different servers at the bar were great. Very friendly (even given they were slammed!). The staff were good natured, professional, and efficient. My food was delicious too! They packaged the salmon carryout nicely, I really enjoyed it!

    I absolutely love this restaurant such a very nice & spacious, have several booths, huge bar that wraps with several beer, wine, and cocktail options. The sunset sangria is the best I've ever had the service is great and servers are very professional and friendly!

    Onion Ring Tower
    Alano V.

    Came here for a quick dinner after shopping nearby! Cheese curds were so bomb, we're from WI so we werent sure if they were going to be good. We got the onion ring tower but was not impressed, we didn't even finish it! We also got the sliders that were really good. I got their lavender rosemary martini which was pretty good. My cousin tried the virgin piña and liked it. Waitress was super great, came and checked in on us and was really nice. It was super busy so we had to wait a bit. Very much sports bar vibes but liked the energy. A bunch of different seating, very big space!!

    Super good lunch here!! Very spacious, noise level wasn't bad. Servers were very nice. My drink never sat at a low level for long. They were refilling and taking any dishes in a timely manner so we have space. I got a mix and match two tacos, Korean and fish. I didn't want the rice and beans so I asked for it to be switched out for fries. I got plain fries. Love that I could make a substitution. The fish was extra crunchy!! Stayed in the taco well too. There was a good amount of sauce also. The Korean had a good crunch. Sauce was good but a little heavy handed. The toppings weren't bad either. Only thing is that I had a hard time keeping the chicken in the taco. I just wish I had more lime on the side. Citrus and the spice on the Korean sauce would have sangggg. The fries were all consistent and crispy. I'd come again and try more. Before coming here, I only knew of the onion ring stacks but now I have more reason to come back!

    Came here on a happy hour (it worth every penny) i loved the poke nachos, the pizza and the battered chicken fingers. I felt that the artichoke dip it was salty enough to have the nachos salty, so it was a little over salted for me. The waitress was great and she was at all moment making sure we were not missing anything. Would keep coming back for the happy hour

    Happy hour half off pizza and drink specials.

    The half off appetizer menu from 3 pm to 6 pm is definitely an experience. The food are generously portion out and every plate was delicious. The service the staff from the host, to the servers, back off the house chef/ line cooked, and food runner, is unbelievably fast and friendly considering how busy it was. The ambiance of the dining area is generally natural lighting. A few battery operated candles. And over head lighting.

    The server Nichole, working on April 16, 2025 was so nice. She made the experience great. The steak was off the chain. Korean Ribeye cooked medium RARE.... OOOOOWEE!!! The only disappointing thing was I didn't receive my Guinness in a Guinness glass!

    Poke Nachos

    I would say Yard house is pretty much like an upscale Chili's. They have popular, classic American food. The food was okay. I think it is only worth it if you come from the happy hour, which we did. They are known for their large selection of beer, so if you're a beer person, this place is for you. Otherwise, I found the food okay. The interior nice and staff is nice!

    Sangria
    Sierra B.

    I went to Yard House years ago and never went back. I happened to come this time because this is where my group wanted to meet up. I won't be coming back after this either. The food just isn't good. The chicken nachos had absolutely no flavor. My sangria was good. Service was great. The waitress did a great job accommodating such a large group. We had about 20 ppl in our party on a busy summer weekend. I really like how splitting the check was no big deal at all. We just passed around the device and paid and left a tip without having to wait for checks to come. More restaurants should implement this method. 1 star for the service, sangria, and splitting the checks. I think that's fair.

    This place FILLS UP! It's like every other Yard House I've ever been to. High quality food, made fresh, huge beer selection. Service is generally pretty good in my experience. I like that they do a good job trying to get people seated ASAP, but the reality is that it's a busy spot and sometimes there's a bazillion people there. Environment is on the frenetic side, and it gets rowdy during game days. But other than that, I'm happy to come by and get my whisky salmon. Delicious.

Truly - eating at PLANTA is an experience. We weren't sure how busy it would be on a Saturday evening so made a reservation, which turned out to be the right move. We were seated promptly and our server thoughtfully offered descriptions and suggestions that guided us to the following assortment of mind-blowing items: -Bang Bang Broccoli: if you order nothing else, get this. Perfectly cooked, beautifully seasoned, with just the right amount of crispiness and a magical peanut chili sauce. -Firecracker maki roll: filled with sweet potato and avocado, topped with a monstrous pile of potato straws, unagi, and glorious sauce. -Udon noodles with truffle mushroom cream: the description is deceptively understated. This dish is magic - thick chewy noodles generously coated in an unbelievably creamy sauce and SO MANY mushrooms. Pricing is fine - more than I'd like to pay for a routine weeknight dinner, but justified by the flavors and the experience of elevated plant-based cuisine. It's a good (but also terrible) thing that I live far away, otherwise all my time and money would likely be spent at PLANTA.

Unfortunately, my appetite has fled, so I couldn't do my usual "try all the things." I loaded up at that hot bar and had food for the next 3-4 days. As previously mentioned, the food on the hot and cold bar rotates daily. But I was never disappointed with the offerings because there are always at least a few things that I like. Whenever they have anything with broccoli in it, I get that. It's usually a tofu + broccoli combo, and the broccoli is always seasoned to the gawds! Cabbage and sweet potatoes are two more of my favorites here. And it's so easy for me to eat gluten free with their offerings too. (Disclaimer: I avoid gluten due to sensitivity issues; non-celiac. So I do not know if it's safe for those with celiac disease.) The juices in the fridge are good too. I got several hibiscus and ginger bottles. I finally tried a smoothie from here, the Very Berry with agave. It was delicious. They have WiFi, so I could do some work and eat before I put back on my boxing gloves to fight my way back to my hotel in Orland Park. Of note, most employees are very nice.
