​Yard House never disappoints! While this was my first time at this specific location, I've been visiting Yard House for years across different cities, and the consistency is impressive. ​It gets pretty busy, so expect a wait, but the host team is super efficient at getting guests seated quickly. The drinks are always fantastic, and the food hits the spot every single time. Highly recommend!

Salmon
Van C.

I was NOT expecting this at all. Yeah a chain. Yup it's Yard House. Not expecting much. Oh was I very wrong, let's get into it. Upon arriving we waited a moment until greeted. That's fine, no rush. Taken to our table with a party of 4. Our server was awesome. It's too bad I don't remember his name but the customer service was OUTSTANDING. Let's get into everything else. Ordered salmon, bacon cheddar burger and wings ( asked for Nashville hot ) and steak bowl. Salmon. On point. Cooked correctly, seasoned well, displayed perfectly. Was it amazing? No. Was it consistent and good? Absolutely. Bacon cheddar burger. Asked for medium rare. Ok I'm not kidding when I say this and it's odd to even say. But what an amazing burger. I would have never thought yard house would be a burger I'd remember. But it was. Cooked perfectly medium rare, seasoned to perfection. I asked for bbq sauce to put on it and it was PERFECT. Wings. Large wings. Seasoned well. Not much more to say other than consistency is good. Steak bowl. Asked for medium rare. Came out medium rare. Pretty solid dish. However this dish was lacking flavor/seasoning. Was it bad? No. Was it amazing? No. But not Terrible. Food: this location? Above average. Not the other yard houses. Not above average. Staff: amazing. Best server we've had in a long time. Decor: clean and basic. Cleanliness: very clean. Good location, enjoy!

Bavarian pretzel
Lenny C.

It's Thursday afternoon and the place is packed! Super friendly and smiley waitress named Sam took care of us. She was amazing and gets 5 stars! They have dozens and dozens of beers on tap... and good ole mix of American, basic Mexican and pizza. There's a huge assortment of burgers. According to him, pizza was not great and too salty. Wife had a huge salad, quite generous, and I ordered the calamari and guacamole and chips. Son unit also had an enormous Bavarian pretzel... see photo.... it was good! Calamari was tender and delicious!

Stacked Roasted Turkey Club
Denise P.

I visited Yard House today and ordered the Stacked Turkey Club, while my friend had the Korean BBQ Cheesesteak. The service was good overall. The host Denise was especially friendly and welcoming, and our waitress was attentive. Nothing was over the top, but everyone was pleasant. The Stacked Turkey Club biggest flaw? Was not the flavors, but the sandwich wasn't built in a way that made it easy to eat. Every time I picked it up, it started falling apart. The avocado slices slid out with almost every bite, making it pretty messy. I think pressing or spreading the avocado onto the bread instead of layering thick slices would help hold everything together and make it much easier to enjoy. The Korean BBQ Cheesesteak had really good flavor (but no cheese as stated in the name) the bread didn't quite work for the sandwich. It was very soft and had a texture that was too similar to the meat, so there wasn't much contrast. A baguette-style roll with a little more crunch on the outside while still being soft inside would have complemented the cheesesteak much better by adding texture and making the sandwich hold together better. The fries were one of the highlights, crispy, hot, and well seasoned. We also shared a sour beer that was excellent, although I can't remember the name. Even the pickles were surprisingly good. Overall, we enjoyed the meal, and the service was good. I just think a few small improvements to the way the sandwiches are assembled and the choice of bread would make them even better. I'd definitely come back and try something else on the menu.

Attending a conference nearby and having a team dinner. We were a group of 15 people. Attentive and prompt service by the 2 waitpersons with all our drinks, appetizers, main entrees, and desserts. Absolutely amazing! Food were good portions for sharing. My main dish was the delicious lobster garlic noodles. The tuna stack was equally scrumptious. An amazing team outing dinner. Thank you Yard House Long Beach!

Hibiscus Mule-ish Mocktail
Caroline S.

This was my first time going to this location. It was fairly busy for a Thursday night and almost every seat at the bar was filled. It was a bit loud in the bar area, but that's to be expected. The bartender/s were very attentive. Food and drinks came within a reasonable amount of time. The selection of craft beers was fairly impressive with lots to offer any beer aficionado or newcomer to craft beers. I ordered their Hibiscus Mule-ish that was very delicious for a Mocktail. The Small Cobb Salad w/ Grilled Shrimp; if that was the small I can't imagine what the large would have looked like And I ordered one of the Bavarian Pretzels with Beer Cheese & Stone Ground Mustard Togo. The Pretzel itself was delicious, but unfortunately the Beer Cheese left a lot to be desired. It was much runnier than I would have expected and I'm pretty sure the ABV was somewhere around 8% haha. The fermentation kind of just took over the entire taste....more beer than cheese if you will. I would have either loved a thicker, less alcoholic Beer Cheese; maybe even a Queso dip (yes, I know that wouldn't be Bavarian, but it would taste hella good with that pretzel ) The only other this was the parking situation is kind of annoying as you have to pay to park anywhere close. Yes, they validate; but you'll still have to pay to exit (no cash btw). So I will definitely be going back!

Caramel Butter Cake w/ Vanilla Ice Cream
Debbie D.

Stopped by the Yard House at Shoreline Village in Long Beach for a quick bite to eat for lunch. Never disappointed by the Yard House. I had a wonderful cheeseburger, my husband had salmon and we shared a caramel butter cake dessert. Everything was very delicious. There is some construction going on right now to revamp the pier at Shoreline, but there's still plenty of parking and it's still a cool place to hang out during the construction. I can't wait to see what the pier updates will look like.

ZoEy H.

Just had another amazing time with my friend. Kimmy was awesome. She made sure to sever us from her heart. Nice , quick and friendly. Food is always delicious and a nice hit, I tried out the beer sampler for the first time, it's really good. Yard house is still the best place to chill.

Yard House (Long Beach, CA): Happy Hour deals
Savannah R.

I visited Yard House in Long Beach, CA [401 Shoreline Village Dr] on Wednesday, 05/13/26 around 8:00 PM. Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by the hostess. There was up to a 15-minute wait, which wasn't too bad. I ordered the following for dinner: * House Salad (starter): made with mixed greens, baby tomatoes, carrots, white cheddar, hard-boiled eggs (added modification/extra charge), no croutons, served with extra ranch dressing. * Chicken Enchilada Stack (entree): prepared with corn tortillas, pasilla peppers, jack cheese, pinto beans, sour cream, chipotle & tomatillo pepper sauces, fried jalapeño. The house salad tasted freshly crisp, with all the delectable vegetables and the addition of hard-boiled eggs. The ranch dressing and black pepper both pull the entire salad together for satisfaction in each bite. The enchiladas were dynamite and addictive. The chipotle & tomatillo pepper sauces were beyond flavorful. The portion of the dinner plate was filling. Overall, the dish was enjoyable. Samantha ('Sam') was my server throughout the dining experience. The service provided was decently courteous and satisfactory. The entire atmosphere was inviting, with a plethora of tables and chairs available inside as well as the outdoor patio area. The menu was extensive with a variety of choices. The food was generous with portions and adequately priced. This restaurant is located within the Shoreline Village of Long Beach, which offers gorgeous views of the Rainbow Harbor + Queen Mary. Having dinner at Yard House met expectations. I recommend stopping by this restaurant.

This is the original Yard House with about 180 tab beers! The service is impeccable. They're so kind, they let you try as many beers as you like until you find the perfect beer. We were there at happy hour which was a beautiful thing, who does love a deal! The chicken nachos were awesome only $8! Our server Jeanette was bubbly and so accommodating! We're getting a Yard House at the Legends in Sparks, NV right by our house so I was excited to have a prelude to the opening! The food is great, the beer is better, and the service is amazing! Have fun!

Buffalo pizza
George Y.

First visit here. Patio seats. Nice view. Payton was an excellent server. Buffalo pizza was tasty but mild

Happy hour sliders
Coco V.

Came here for happy hour. Sliders: I must have been in a burger n fries mood because these were my favorite. Calamari: decent. Can't complain. Buffalo boneless wings: we thought we ordered the ones with the bones but boneless we got. We didn't feel like sending it back so we just ate them. They pretend decent. I'm not a big beer drinker but will definitely come back for happy hour!

Christanne C.

Went here for lunch for a coworkers's retirement. You park in a parking lot after an arm gate. I didn't pay attention to the parking lot or how much you have to pay or if there's a certain amount of time for free after validation. We all sat outside. Service was good. Food was ok. Nothing bad and nothing too out of the ordinary for a lunch experience. Wouldn't have been my first choice for lunch but I do enjoy their happy hour once in a while. I did get the fish and chips and was surprised at the portion. For lunch? What in the world haha.

I ordered the potato taco which had a fabulous crunch and a perfectly delicious chipotle ( ? ) dipping sauce on the side. The taco itself wasn't very flavorful but I think it's perfectly fine because the sauce carries more than enough. I also ordered the vegan fried chicken and I was so intrigued by the flavor. They had a notable buttery taste to them which was rich and pleasant. I believe they were coated with a cornflake cereal which gave them a proper crunch. The hibiscus drink was a tad thicker than I expected and wished it had a more balanced flavor ( sweetness : tartness ), but it wasn't a bad drink by any means. Definitely one to drink cold. I let mine sit for a bit and I think that affected the tasting experience. & Service is genuinely chill which I respect and prefer. No need to perform.

Four other customers also had to get refunds because they were waiting forever for their food. I understand places can get busy, but waiting 90 minutes for food is just ridiculous. We basically wasted our time sitting there and left without getting what we ordered. Definitely wouldn't come back.

I also ordered a Jamaica water ( a bit on the sweeter side, but appreciate that they had it on the menu) Overall it was a great experience, it was a very welcoming space.

Phenomenal food, and I'm not even vegan!…read more I'm doing a no-meat fast for October, and finding food I really like has been challenging. This place blew me away. Everything tasted freshly prepared and arrived piping hot (no heat lamp!). Here's what we tried: * Olives, 9/10: I'm not a huge olive fan, but these were delicious, served hot with grilled bread. * Carciofi salad, 9/10: A lighter choice that still delivered on flavor. I'd love to try the Caesar next time. * Risotto, 10/10: Rich, flavorful, and full of garlic, with finely chopped mushrooms. * Gigli, 10/10: The standout for me! If we hadn't been at a vegan restaurant, I wouldn't have known it wasn't meat. I usually don't enjoy tofu or soy, but the seasoning was excellent without being overly salty. Highly recommend. My only question was about the "goat cheese." I wasn't sure what the vegan version was made from and would have liked a little clarification. The restaurant is small, clean, and quaint, with a casual atmosphere. There's a small free parking lot in the back, plus street parking. I honestly can't wait to go back after my fast is over!

If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

Came for the $3 Taco Tuesday night. Surprisingly not busy! Was worried about parking on the street…read morebut luckily we found a spot not too far of a walk away. They had sports playing on the TVs and the interior is pretty small. It's more of a casual vibe good for a chill night out. It kinda feels like a place where you order at the front and get takeout, but they have someone who will wait on your table if you choose to dine in. I came with a vegetarian friend and we had a fun time sampling the different taco meats and rating each. Here is my ranking: 1. Asada - I hate to be basic, but this was good for what it was. It tasted like they might have used mushroom meat, but this takes place as #1 for me because I think it could be a general crowd pleaser for any non-vegetarian. On the contrary, my vegetarian friend did not like it because she found it too dry. 2. Barbacoa - A very, very close second. The only reason it places behind asada is because asada is a classic. Barbacoa has good texture and I could eat a lot of these too. 3. Chorizo - This was the closest to tasting like its actual counterpart. I could eat a bunch of chorizo. Crumbly meat with lots of flavor. 4. Tinga - I'm not as familiar with tinga meat, but the pickled red onion that went with this taco gave it a savory taste. Good to try out but you're not missing out if you choose other flavors. 5. Chicken - Tasted like tofu meat? Not bad - I don't usually pick chicken for taco meat so this might be a personal preference choice. 6. Pastor - Sweet, but did not taste like pastor. Had a little trouble distinguishing between the pastor and the tinga at first, but came to the conclusion the pastor was the one with pineapple on it. I mostly prefer savory meats and while I don't mind the pineapple, the pastor I usually have is not sweet itself. If you like sweet meats, this might be worth getting. 7. Potato - Everybody can skip the potato. It's a fried potato taco, but the potato they use resembles a breakfast hash. The crispiness is nice, but the texture is flaky and the sauce doesn't save it. Even my vegetarian friend was let down by this one even though she had high hopes and usually likes potato tacos. Overall the server told us most of the taco meats were soybean based (not the pastor). I think the chorizo might be falafel, but that's a guess? Ended our meal with the Tres Leches as a dessert. Frosting is buttery and sweet (maybe a little too much frosting) but the cake goes super well with the milk. It sits in a soy milk bath which is a first for me. I wish they had added more soy milk! The menu is huge though. I was very tempted to try other stuff on the menu so I am very open to coming back and trying the breakfast platter (or getting more tacos again, yum).

They also had a pastry case filled with some drool worthy cakes. The friendly employee quickly found my order. The menu was vast but I ordered an indulgent chocolate crepe, as I was craving something sweet and light. The crepe had a lovely pillowy texture and was so heavenly, both the chocolate sauce and chocolate mousse were so rich and decadent and had me wanting more! I loved the freshness, sweetness and juiciness of the berries! The coconut whipped cream really took it over the top and added a nice airiness. Their crepes are must haves and I'm dying to try more of them! I will definitely be back soon to this location or one of their other conveniently located ones!
