    Yard house is one of our favorite date night spots on I Drive. We stopped by since we were in the area. We didn't have a reservation and the wait time was over 40 minutes but we were able to find a couple seats at the bar. We came in for a couple drinks and some appetizers. The shrimp was delicious, the queso was to die for and the drinks were made to perfection. My husband loves their beer collection. I enjoy their expresso martinis. Honestly all the drinks I've had here have been great, that's just my go to at the moment. They were playing the game so we ordered a couple more drinks and sat at the bar for a bit. Great energy from everyone, including the staff. Loud but not super loud where we couldn't hold a conversation. Yard house has not let us down. One of the best chain restaurants we've been to and frequent

    My first time at Yard House last night and they have good selections of food to choose from the drink we ordered was good and just right... I ordered the lobster garlic noodles and it was delish... the portion was a lot so we had takeovers... love the atmosphere and will go back again when we in Orlando

    I would suggest going on the website and reserving your spot ahead of time. It lets you enter the number of people in your party and gives you an estimated wait time, which I found to be pretty accurate. It sends you text updates, and the technology is actually pretty cool. It can tell when you're not close enough yet and will tell you to check in once you're closer to the restaurant. There were 6 of us in the group, so reserving ahead definitely helped. I actually had to do it twice because we reserved our spot before we left, and by the time we got there, it had timed out. I checked in again, and when we arrived, the host said, "I see you checked in twice." He told us the wait would probably be about 10 minutes, and we ended up waiting less than that before being seated. Considering it's at Icon Park and it was the night of a game, the place was packed with a lot of hustle and bustle. I was impressed that we were seated so quickly, especially with a party of 6. Our waiter, Matt, was amazing, and the food was amazing too. We ordered what felt like almost every appetizer on the menu. We had the Cali Roll Stack, Parmesan truffle fries, crispy Brussels sprouts, spinach dip, and the vegan Gardein wings. The Cali Roll Stack was probably my favorite appetizer. It was so good, and it was made with real crab. Most places use imitation crab, and Matt even told us that's why it's his favorite appetizer too. He was absolutely right. The Gardein wings were surprisingly good. We ordered the Korean chili garlic and Buffalo flavors, and if nobody had told me they were vegan, I probably wouldn't have known. I'd never had a soy-based wing before, but I would definitely order them again. The Parmesan truffle fries were exactly what you want them to be, and the crispy Brussels sprouts disappeared fast. At that point, it seemed like everyone else was tapped out, but somehow we still had room to eat. We ordered the lobster garlic noodles, and they were amazing. They didn't skimp on the lobster either. There were big chunks of real lobster throughout the dish, along with spinach and garlic noodles. Definitely one of my favorite entrées of the night. I also tried the Key Lime Cider, and I liked that they let me sample it before ordering. It ended up being really refreshing and exactly what I was looking for. For dessert, we shared the brownie cookie topped with ice cream. Oh my God. I don't even like chocolate like that, and it was amazing. Yard House has never really disappointed me, but this visit was especially good. I don't know if we were just starving or if the chef was having an exceptional night, but kudos and hats off to the kitchen. Parking was easy too. Levels 3 and 4 of the garage were free, so there was no need to pay or get anything validated. Overall, everything was smooth from start to finish. Great service, great food, easy parking, and a surprisingly short wait despite how busy it was. 10/10, highly recommend.

    Christine, Robert, and leadership who offered to pack up our dinner tonight - Thank you! Little did you know, I celebrated my new dream job today and out of all the restaurants - we wanted to celebrate here. Happy hour is affordable and the selections for apps are to-die for. We shared the calamari and queso dip, and my fiance got the pork chop and I got the steak bowl. Pork chop and steak was cooked to tender and the veggies were seasoned perfectly. It was a reminder why we chose this place as a celebration. Thank you for a wonderful night! I wish we got the manager's name, but he was with Robert and we thank-you for hosting us and creating a special space of hospitality. We enjoyed the night and can't wait to come back and bring our friends and family. Spent my first dream job paycheck here. That says something!

    I was in Orlando for a conference and came here for lunch with members of my office. The steak bowl is delicious! The steak is cooked to order-makes a big difference. I had it cooked to medium....it was so tender. The mushrooms and the sauce added so much flavor! And as an added bonus it was in the under 600 calorie menu. Our server was also great-she was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. It also is a large location-perfect for groups.

    We have never seen a Yard House so we decided to give it a try. It's owned by Darden who owns Olive Garden, Bahama Breeze, etc. I think this is probably one of their best restaurant concepts. The place is large and there are lots of staffing moving around quickly. It can be a bit loud inside so if you want to carry on a relaxing conversation I would recommend getting a table outside. The inside is large with plenty of seating options. Food - We both had burgers and they were cooked perfectly. The Bacon and Blue could have used just a bit more blue cheese. The bacon was plentiful and crispy (not two little 4 inch fatty pieces like fast food placed). My friend opted to swap out fries for Mac and cheese. The portion size was large enough for two, but it wasn't the best mac we've had - tasted mostly like cheddar cheese and not creamy. Beverages - lots of choices from the bar. I tried a Key Lime Cider that was so refreshing and there is a full bar. There is a brewery above the resturant - not sure it's in use but it looks neat. Atmosphere - it's a large place and can get loud inside. We checked out several places in Icon park and this was the only place that had a wait, but it was worth it. There are lots of places to choose from in the area, but I'm sure we will be back and looking for other locations in other cities.

    Went here on a vacation and I honestly don't think I've ever had better service. Our waitress was top line and incredibly impressive. How she remembered our huge groups order without even writing anything down is still a mystery to me. She filled our drinks when they were not even a quarter of the way empty. Her knowledge of what's on tap and her recommendations were on point. If you are lucky enough to get Sinead as your server, you won't be disappointed. She deserves all the raises.

    We came here over the weekend for lunch and enjoyed our time and meal here! There was plenty of seating available both in and outdoors. We decided to sit outside since it was so nice out! Our server was prompt and friendly. Our food came out quickly and correctly! Everyone enjoyed their meal, and the portioning was very fair. Overall we had a great experience and would come back again if in the area!

    Came here after a long day. There was a long wait time, which is understandable because of the location. We were seated near the kitchen, so it was a bit noisy while trying to dine. It was very busy, but the waiters were really nice and attentive, but if you are easily sensory overloaded, it would be best to let the host know that you would want to be seated either outside or not close to the kitchen. The food was delicious. The salmon with mashed potatoes and vegetables is my go to. We also had the lettuce wraps which were phenomenal. The menu is very diverse so you can pick anything that you're feeling or if you are dining with picky eaters, I would dine back here, but I would make the host aware of my ambience needs beforehand.

    Yum! We stopped in here for a Friday lunch and ordered some beers and lunch - it was super busy but we were sat right away. We ordered drinks and waters and our waitress brought them out quickly. Then we ordered a few entrees, and one of the great things is one of our party members is Vegan and she had a few options to choose from! We also love Yardhouse as a staple if we can't choose where to go

    We went to this Yard House because we've enjoyed other locations, and this one definitely holds its own. It's a huge space, so even on a busy Saturday night it felt well organized. My husband and I split the fried calamari, which was just so-so, and the orange chicken with Korean rice, which was actually very good. Big plus for our waiter being attentive, especially given how busy it was. One tip: add your name to the waitlist ahead of time. We did, and by the time we arrived, our table was ready -- super smooth and worth doing. Be aware that it gets very noisy inside. It was too cold to sit outside when we went, so that wasn't an option. Still, overall it's decent, reliable, and does the trick when you're looking for a lively spot with consistent food. To me its not fantastic, its decent. And that's something I know is good. Decent value as well.

    We stopped in for a late lunch at Yard House in Orlando and lucked out by arriving right as happy hour was getting started -- always a win. Let's start with the drinks. My wife ordered a Blue Moon with an orange wedge, and our server Brandon suggested a Key Lime cider for me since I like citrus beers and ciders. I'm a big key lime pie fan, so that was an easy yes -- and it did not disappoint. Super refreshing. For happy hour apps, we went a little wild (no regrets). First up were the chicken lettuce wraps served in a fried wonton shell -- seriously delicious and packed with flavor. Next was Miguel's Queso Dip, a rich blend of queso and spices baked in a cast iron skillet. We added taco meat for a small upcharge, and it was 100% worth it. We also ordered the beef sliders: four sliders with cheese and garlic dill pickles on sweet Hawaiian rolls, served with fries. Solid, satisfying, and perfect for sharing. Happy hour runs Monday-Thursday from 3-6 PM, with half-priced appetizers and $2 off beers and cocktails, which makes it an even better deal. The place wasn't too busy when we arrived but was definitely filling up by the time we left. We don't have a Yard House near where we live, so we always try to stop by when we're in Orlando. Brandon was fantastic -- super friendly, helpful, and had a great positive attitude that really added to the experience. If you're visiting Orlando and staying near International Drive, Yard House is absolutely worth checking out.

    Came to Yard House for drinks and appetizers and had a great experience. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable, and service was quick and friendly. The gin and tonics were perfectly balanced and refreshing. For apps, we ordered the Poke Nachos and the Spicy Tuna Stack -- both were fantastic. The Poke Nachos were fresh and flavorful with just the right crunch, and the Spicy Tuna Stack was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. Great spot to unwind, grab drinks, and share some appetizers. We'll definitely be back next time we're on International Drive!

There are so many different tapas to order from, and the best way to try as many as you can is to order the "Get 'Em All" that's offered at their Happy Hour. You can get like 9 different tapas for around $20. My absolute favorite item is the Cajun Chicken Egg Roll. It's stuffed with a good amount of chicken, goat cheese, some veggies, and is served with this not-so-tangy mustard sauce. For all the food that was provided, this is such a good deal. There are a ton of other menu items available, that the "Get 'Em All" doesn't cover, that are also definitely worth trying. The entire place is eclectic and oozing with art and creativity. The walls are covered in paintings and other art pieces made by local artists. Each artwork can be purchased to support them. Sometimes there is a live artist working on their art. You can support them directly by purchasing some prints or any completed pieces they have on display.

We went for the Thali, and it arrived like a feast--beautifully presented with a wide variety of dishes that felt both generous and thoughtfully prepared. The portions are no joke here; it's the kind of meal that keeps you going back for "just one more bite." What's even better is that they're happy to offer additional servings if you're still hungry, which makes the experience feel warm and hospitable rather than transactional. Flavor-wise, the food really shines. Each component of the Thali carries its own personality--rich, aromatic, and rooted in tradition. You can tell the kitchen isn't cutting corners when it comes to spices and authenticity. That said, a few items leaned a bit on the salty side for my taste. It didn't take away from the overall enjoyment, but it was noticeable enough to stand out among otherwise well-balanced dishes. All in all, it's a place that delivers on both quantity and authenticity. If you're craving a hearty South Indian meal that feels close to home-style cooking, Madras Cafe is definitely worth the visit. Come hungry--you'll need the appetite.
