This Yard House location is attached to the SONO Collection Mall, on the Bloomingdale's side; no access from inside but just a short walk. Parking at the mall is convenient - pay by app or a link sent by text (we paid $3 for 3 hours so $1/hr.) There is Happy hour from 3-6pm like at other locations: 1/2 off select appetizers and pizza, discount on some alcoholic beverages. Great deal - our app orders came out to about $5-$7 each. Still enjoyed the sliders, tenders which came with fries; more generous with the calamari here; fried cheese curds are like mozzarella bits; liked the crispy brussell sprouts, well more burnt than crispy but liked them anyway. I know we ordered mostly fried food but there were other options for HH. We just didn't feel like having nachos, boneless wings and pizza. Blackened ahi tuna sandwich was good although some found the sauce a bit salty. Added $2 to change fries to onion rings. Mac and cheese had fried mushrooms and oil which we had on the side. We went on a weekday, so not as busy. Service was friendly and fast. Food came out pretty quickly and got drink refills when needed. read more

Love their happy hour! The menu is limited but it such a great value! We try to do this every few weeks or so. We usually get the calamari, brussel sprouts, boneless wings and sliders. Drinks are discounted as well. Plus, it's not as busy as the weekends so we never have to wait for a table. read more

Finally got a chance to check out this Yard House location. It's a great space and perfect to stop by after shopping in the mall. Unfortunately, you can't access the restaurant through the mall. They have a large food selection with a little bit of everything. The drinks were great! I recommend any of the burgers. They were juicy and cooked to perfection. read more

My dad enjoyed his first time here. Great and attentive service. Portions are more than enough. Food was well prepared. Menu options are extensive without feeling overwhelming. Bar has something for everyone just like the menu does. Vibe is like a classy Sports bar. They offer HH and late HH which is a plus read more

How to review this place? Great interior and clean. Nice service. They validate mall parking for 3 hours. Beer I was told was great. 5 star delicious truffle veggie burger and huge! They messed up my order and I ended up with an extra order of fries. They were the worst fries ever - both the regular and the sweet potato. The cheese steak was pretty good but I should be banned from reviewing cheese steaks since I am spoiled after having the best one ever in Philly. The avocado toast was pretty inedible- had a very strange flavor to it and too much salt. So.. I recommend the truffle veggie burger! read more

Yard House is a chain of casual dining restaurants that opened in Long Beach, California in December 1996. It was founded by business partners Steele Platt, Steve Reynolds, Tom Yelenick, and William Wollrab. Platt previously owned a bar-restaurant operation in Denver (CO) known as the 'Boiler Room'. Some elements from that restaurant (including a large beer selection, "pub grub", and classic rock being played in the foreground) would be reused for a new concept. The new partners had a vision to create "the world's greatest tap room". The name 'Yard House' was chosen as a reference to yard glasses (designed to hand to stagecoach drivers in 17th century Great Britain). Today the chain features nearly 90 locations that all have over 100 beers on draft as well as a variety of different food dishes. Platt and Reynolds are the only founders that are still with the company. My family and I recently visited the Yard House at The SoNo Collection in Norwalk. This particular location (the only one in Connecticut) opened in 2021. My wife received a gift card to any Darden Restaurant (of which Yard House is a member), so we decided to go one day for lunch. We loved the interior which was spacious and aesthetically pleasing. We also really liked the classic rock tunes that played throughout our visit. For food, we selected some items off of the Kid's Menu for my two sons. My older son had "Fried Chicken Tenders" (white meat chicken breast strips, buttermilk ranch dressing) with Fries, while my younger son had the "Mac & Cheese" (elbow macaroni, cheddar cheese sauce). They were both very happy with their plates. My wife had the "Nashville Hot Chicken" (spicy sweet slaw, white cheddar, garlic aioli, toasted brioche bun) with Sweet Potato Fries; she said it was very crispy and flavorful. I ordered the "Beer-Battered Fish & Chips" (whitefish, house fries, malt vinegar slaw, roasted jalapeño tartar, malt vinegar aioli) and I enjoyed every bite. Obviously I had to order the signature half-yard glass of beer. I had it filled with New England Brewing's "Fuzzy Baby Ducks" IPA (one of my go-tos). My wife enjoyed a glass of Ace Cider's "Guava Cider". I was really impressed by Yard House's beer selection. I was expecting mostly macro-brewery offerings, but most of it was craft (and a lot of it was local too!) Overall, we had an excellent experience at Yard House and we look forward to returning! read more

This is a fun place to go to with a group of people! Tv everywhere, great vibes, enjoyable. The portions for nachos were good too! Service was slow but the waitress was nice, even after getting some drinks wrong (I don't know if it was her fault or the bartender's, so whatever). She was nice about everything though! Some interesting menu items so maybe I'll come back. The drinks are good as well! read more

Ordered Steak Nachos, and this is what I received: stale, dry, and barely any flavor. I mean look at it !!! Would you eat this? Where are your standards, Yard House? Do the cooks look at what they prepare? Unbelievable. Rating -3 out of 10 read more

Big fan of the Yard House. They have a few spots and its one of the better chain restaurants out there. Great vibe Plenty of TVs Good menu lots of options Decent HAPPY HOUR (Sun-Thur 3-6 then 9-close) ---- HALF OFF CERTAIN APPS $2 OFF DRNKS I have been here several times. Just writing about it now. Located in the palisades mall which in itself has a-lot of food options. But the yard house has a certain live vibe and the food is above average. The AMC movie theater is right across from this place. So definitely a good option for dinner and a movie. Got there for the happy hour. (Sun-Thur 3-6 then 9-close). Most of the apps r on the happy hour menu and are half price. And the app portions are a very healthy portion. Coming from a big guy. You can definitely be satisfied with a couple of apps. I ordered the: 1. CHICKEN FINGERS, they were real chicken tenders fried up. You could definitely taste that they were made fresh and were not sitting under some hot lamp. Crispy and juicy. Just how a tender is supposed to taste. They also come with a side of fries with several fries upgrades if u wanted to switch it up (sweet potato fries or garlic truffle parmesan fries) 2. POKE NACHOS with a spicy truffle sauce. I enjoyed the tenders but these were the highlight of my meal. They were fried wontons disguised as the nachos, paired up with the freshly diced tuna, topped with scallions cilantro and that spicy truffle sauce really made the dish pop. The wontons were so light and super crispy. Wonderful dish. 3. CHICKEN NACHOS. My friend had them and they were very flavorful too huge portion good to share. The place was very clean and friendly staff. Always a must go when i come to the palisades mall. read more

First time visiting Yard House came here for a friends birthday dinner must say that the food is the typical burgers fries, pizza Thai bar the vibe and atmosphere was very good, but found that the music was very loud and really couldn't hear myself think or speak. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive Always check up on us to make sure that we were OK. Our dinner came out pretty quickly, even though it was a packed house, the wait time was pretty quick. We were able to get a table as soon as we walked in the food was your typical bar food but it was actually pretty good if you're ever in the area definitely would recommend this place for something quick to eat definitely family friendly. read more

Being a Californian now living in the East Coast, I was pleasantly surprised they had a yard house near me! We came on a Saturday around 4pm so it wasn't busy. We asked for a table for 3 plus a toddler. We were seated right away. Even though it was an early dinner, lots of families with small kids were there. Definitely family friendly. Our server was really nice. He let us sample some beers before we picked our drink and he even switch our high chair when we requested a different one. We ordered the cheese curds (must have!), a burger, steak salad and spicy beef garlic noodles. Everything was pretty good. I personally got the garlic noodles and it was a big portion that I had to take the other half home. It wasn't spicy though. Even let my 1 year old eat some noodles. Would definitely order again! read more

We were quickly greeted and seated when we walked in. Our server Nikia came over and was very friendly and attentive. We ordered our drinks and apps that were both good. (Calamari and 4 cheese spinach dip). For dinner we ordered wings, salmon and a Turkey club. Nokia nicely came back over and informed me that there was no Turkey left. I had a hard decision to make, as I was set on that. She did help with other options and then she mentioned they said they can do the club with grilled chicken. hesitantly I agreed to that. Anyway, it was very hard to eat, as the bread was breaking apart. I ate 1/4 of it. Brought the rest home. But, threw it out today. There was literally a sliver of chicken on each piece. I should have taken a pic. We would go back based on the service we had from Nikia, but I would not order that sandwich again. read more

I've been coming back to this place for an already and it is definitely one of my favorites in the area. This time I got the Poke Nachos and really enjoyed it. As usual, the customer service is always top notch. I happened to drop my nachos while I was moving from the bar area to my table! I was offered a new dish despite me dropping the appetizer. Thank you for being kind to the team on duty. read more

I must say I love going to the Yard House and enjoying the ambiance. The location is right at the SoNo mall and it's very convenient. I got the traditional lemon pepper and whiskey black wings which is delightful. The seasoning was just right and sprinkled with seasoning to perfection. You have to also try the fried calamari which gives you a bit of spice and kick to your pallet in all the right places. And to add to my appetite my wife and I shared a mushroom truffle pizza and I topped it off with a crisp angry orchard 32 ounce beer the "Yardie" so I could wash down my New Year's Day meal with exuberance! I appreciate our server who took care of us with such care and kindness. I'm always appreciative of great service and experience. So go check it out for yourself and if you're like me a frequent visitor go back again and tell them the "Butler Brand Review" sent you!! And happy new year to you May your 2025 be filled with great joy and Yelping!! read more

Great experience at Yard House again. Me and my friend came to the bar for food and drinks. It was moderately busy. We were able to get a seat at the bar pretty quickly though. They cleaned up the area very quickly. Our bartender K was awesome. We ordered Korean Ribeye, 20oz Bone-in Ribeye, 10 Crispy Traditional Wings (5 Korean bbq and 5 whiskey). Both steaks were good, alittle fatty but no bad and well seasoned. The broccoli was little over cooked, but the chili garlic fries were so good and crispy. I had the espresso martini and it was very good too. Highly recommend if you into that type of drink. It was my first time trying that drink and won't be my last. I can not say enough wonderful things about Yard House, I will be back again. Oh and there is a parking lot attached to the Sono Collection mall, which is a huge plus. read more

Great food, great drinks, Been going there for a minute and definitely will bring a lot of family and friends there

This place started out so strong when it opened. It gets two stars for its selection of beers. It's a good robust selection for various types of beer lovers. The food. Yea that's another story. Most of the food is super greasy and not very flavorful. We ordered a pizza for my son, yes not normally the type of place we would order pizza from but hey my 6 year old wanted it. So we got him some. And not only did it come out last but not was raw. The doe in the center of the pie was completely uncooked. Unbelievable that they could not even get that right. Use to be good but that did not last very long. Unfortunately it has the mall to prop it up. Otherwise I would expect it to fold. read more

First visit this past weekend and I look forward to returning. Immediately loved the atmosphere. The large bar with several TV's. We sat at a booth and were quickly greeted by our server Krystle(K no A). She was amazing the entire evening. Checked on our table often and was very engaging. She asked my IPA preferences and without asking supplied me with samples that fit my taste buds. The Sweetwater Half Gummie was a hit. My wife enjoyed the Fontina Vodka Penne and my Whiskey Burger w/Truffle Fries was cooked to perfection. Needless to say we will return and we will request Krystle as our server. I highly recommend this establishment! read more

One word about this Yardhouse, wow. I went to this yardhouse on a tuesday around 12:45 and it was quite empty but it had wonderful decor and music playing however i'm sure it would be much more lively and festive with more people were here. The food was delectable, I got the caesar salad and the penne a la vodka and it was amazing! The salad had a lot of dressing in my opinion but for others who tried it they said it was lovely. The other people who I went with got the brussel sprouts and the onion ring tower and they said it was lovely the tables fav was the brussel sprouts. Overall an amazing lunch and experience. read more

Arrived to the restaurant and it was busy however we were sat within 60 seconds of walking in which was excellent. Our server was Leslie and he was beyond great. He was very attentive and assured the entire experience was good and we were satisfied. This was my first time eating here also. The steak was an excellent size for the price and it was well seasoned. My Oreo Brookie was delicious. I also have to add they ran out of ice cream and went out to purchase more just to make the Brookie. Now that's customer service .And the strawberry lemonade was so good. My entire experience was 10s all across the board . Definitely recommend. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

You can definitely notice they are understaffed. We were seated about 15mins after putting our name on the wait list with several visible tables open. Once seated, we waited another 20mins+ to have a server greet us and bring water. The service was great once our server arrived & the food was delicious too. I reduced a star for service taking longer than usual, limited waiting area, plus the fact there's only a street entrance (no garage entrance). Having a child in a stroller on a cold CT day like we did doesn't allow for this restaurant to be a number 1 family choice however, it's probably best for drinks and happy hour with friends or colleagues. read more

Where to start, perhaps the 5 burgers on 5 separate ocasiones being overcooked, maybe the multiple visits where my son wasn't given a place setting even after asking multiple times, of maybe it's the cheese added to my sons burger on multiple visits after CLEARLY specifying no cheese, perhaps the waiter bringing Dr Pepper and claiming that's what they have for root beer (which isn't true), or the waited bringing Diet Coke when Coke Zero was asked for, oh wait how about the lack of anyone filling waters, well actually better yet no one helping after my son spilled water providing extra napkins. Ps check out how well they cooked the bacon, the must have gotten confused with the medium rare hamburger. read more

Came in during happy hour. It was pretty empty. We were a larger party of about 13 and we were seated right away. Considering our large party, our waiter did amazing. He was attentive, took our orders right away, food was delivered with no issues at all. All of the food was delicious. I had the lettuce wrap while others in our group did the nachos, sashimi, chicken fingers, and firecracker shrimp. All of the appetizers and meals were presented nicely, food was warm, fresh and delicious. The dining area was a bit dark so reading the menu was challenging but it's more of a bar style restaurant and the dim lighting is part of the ambiance. Definitely recommend - park at the mall, easy! read more

I got hooked on Yard House up in Mass years ago. I used to visit the area for work about once a quarter/twice a year and would always make sure to stop by (almost every night during my visits). When I heard Yard House was coming to Norwalk, I was so excited. I visited the Norwalk location after they had been open maybe a week or two, and they were well-staffed, and the food was delicious; reminding me of why I liked their Mass location so much. Their food is high-quality for a chain restaurant, and there are so many great options that even the pickiest eater could easily dine here. I've had so much on their menu, but I ordered the sliders and LOVED them for my first visit to the Norwalk location (especially that they come with fries - bonus). Also, the special sauce that comes on the sliders is heavenly - ask for extra to use as a dip for your fries. I can't wait to enjoy summer evenings on the patio, especially as things open back up again. The only negative is they are attached to the mall and you have to pay for parking - bummer. read more

I am literally sitting in a booth right now surrounded by unruly children. This place is like a romper room. Kids punching each other in the face, rolling around on the floor and another kid kicking the crap out of our booth seat. This place is ridiculous. The food was just ok. Not worth the insanity. However, Nikia, our server was great. Attentive and had an awesome memory. read more

We were starving and decided to try Yard House in person after getting take out a few days right after they opened. Take out wasn't bad so we were happy to try this place. We were seated promptly (having just missed out on happy hour). Booth seating was very spacious and we loved the soaring ceilings and tv screens everywhere. We ordered nachos, burger, and a side salad with salmon. Kiddo got the cheese pizza. I liked my salad a lot; salmon was a tad over seasoned but acceptable. I know I'm ordering at a chain restaurant so I was happy with it. Husband had a strange reaction. He initially liked his burger but after eating the entire thing he decided it wasn't great. Pretty sure it was the bun that threw him off; he's a purist and I think it was everything seasoned. We were a big fan of the nachos! Will definitely be back to try other dishes. read more

Second lunch here and both are 5 stars! Good quality and portion size for yummy meals. The poke stack was light and flavorful. My son said the Buffalo wings were THE best around, beating his former Fairfield location favorite. My DH got the French dip again as he enjoyed it so much the last time. Still so good and the au jus was not salty. The chicken fingers and fries were good too. There is a nice selection of offerings on the menu, and the beer list is extensive though we weren't trying any this time. The staff came over frequently to check that we enjoyed our food and to ask if we needed anything. We saw a variety of sports and a cooking show playing on the many TVs. There were groups at the large bar, some enjoying their yards and there were several guys with beer flights discussing the merits of each beer they tried. Not a single negative about either of our experiences there. Happy to go back! read more

We ordered dinner right before they closed so we didn't dine in. We got two orders of the salmon bowl and two steak bowls. Now, I will say that this is by far the best salmon bowl I've ever had but, I was disappointed at how skimp it was. The steak bowl was much more hefty than ours but I enjoyed my meal. read more

Food quality / price (value) rating 8.5. The atmosphere is neo-industrial sports bar / tap house. This is the place to go if you're looking for a huge draught beer selection! They have around 100 beers on tap. A large open dining area surrounds a large oval shaped bar that seats about 50 people. There are probably 15 TV's sprinkled about the premises so you don't miss any action. The menu is a very well chosen combination of pub food and pizza. We sat at the bar where the service was very good. I had the Turkey Club on toasted brioche, nothing super special, but it was very good. They substituted a very nice house salad for French fries at no additional charge. The wife had a small Cobb Salad and said it was very good, and it was presented beautifully. This place looks like a great partying bar, especially for "big games". The charges were reasonable for this area. Would definitely come again. read more

My first time at Yard House. Very impressive looking sports bar to say the least! Sat at the bar on a Sunday night. Service was lackadaisical took a while for me to get attention of the five guys behind the bar. They had a huge rectangular shaped bar with TVs all over the place and probably at least 50 beers on tap not including bottles! Atmosphere is good for sports fans. I ordered sliders with truffle fries with the intention of getting an entree if they were good. Food was underwhelming and sat on the line too long, both were cold and not impressed. Beer prices were on the steep side but most restaurants and bars are these days. However... $6.30 for a Pabst Blue ribbon? Really? Lol I always give three chances (unless I have a horrible experience) and will come back. If my experience is better I will change this review accordingly. Andy read more

Miserable rainy day, but we drove to CT to meet our family at the SoNo Collection mall. We're not normally mall goers but needed to be indoors. Checked the choices and decided on Yard House for lunch and we were very pleased There were 7 of us in total and everyone was happy with what they ordered. And the server, Jasmin, was excellent. We definitely will go back. read more

First let's start with the locale. The place is huge! What's puzzling was the 45 to 60 min wait for open booths and tables (we're no longer in COVID restrictions for bars.) So the hostess (can't remember her name, blonde Southern accent,) looks up, sees me, looks down. About 3 min later then greets me with "We have a 45 to 60 Min wait..." Now, this is my second time trying to come to this place, you would think they're serving pots of gold as an appetizer... however, I digress...It's Memorial Day weekend, celebrate the lives of my fellow Bros and Sis in uniform, I don't pay no mind to her (but go back to the greeting...host 101..anyone...? I'm like ok...she asks for my phone# to "text" when our table is ready...about an hour later, hangry starts creeping, go back downstairs, same routine, except we speak to someone else as lil miss sunshine is on the phone...no text (same scenario with the gentleman behind me in line.) Get seated...I'm not going to drop names, but the person who took our order, super nice, takes our order..guac as appetizer, two burgers...nothing out of this world...about 20 min later, guac comes (guess these avocados were next to the pots of gold) don't blame our server as she was super nice and went back to the kitchen a few times... The toddler apps...I mean guac and stale chips come...then like 10 min later, our burgers...ok, but not great... Not the type to say "let me speak to the manager" but this is a pretty new place, in an affluent mall, so you have to consider your foot traffic, regardless of socioeconomic status. Treat your customers well, or be safe, be well Yard house Needless to say, 5 stars for our server, 2 for the food, negative for Southern Charm...if you have a bad day, call out.... read more

One for lunch and went for the basics. One beer and some wings, extra crispy Pretty much near perfect with the exception it came with no blue cheese or carrots/celery for plump and tasty too many beers to decide from and the staff of the bar were somewhat new, so couldn't guide me too well.

Dined here around 9pm on a Monday night, so it was rather quiet. Had the nicest server; I think his name was Daniel, and he was relatively new. Great guy. He's going to be a nice bartender too--told us he may bartend! But I had to come on just to write whoever was in the kitchen Monday night 10/9/23 and made my spicy beef garlic noodles (boneless short ribs, mushrooms, snap peas, bok choy, carrots, red onion, baby broccoli, gochujang sauce, crispy garlic) OMG one of the most incredible noodle bowls I have ever eaten in my life, but I'll ignore calories. Kudos to the chef. Hubby had one of the ribeye steak dishes that he said was delicious as was ahi tuna sashimi app. Hope to try again next time in Norwalk. PS the girls on the phone were so nice too cuz I had called twice that day to figure out where to park since we aren't from the area and the hours. read more
