Amazing service and great food!! We had a large party (25) in our party and we were seated almost immediately and our food came quick. Sean was our server and he was Fabulous!! Laura seated us and brought our food, she was also fabulous!! Seriously we were all very impressed and will be coming back read more

Before all the beer lovers go crazy on me, I like to say its great for beer ONLY. I had the swiss burger and wife had the bbq burger and it was burnt. I asked for well done. It was okay but could have been so much better. Overall another average place to eat on a Tuesday. read more

Upon arrival... Front Staff a bit unorganized.. Guest stacking up narrow door entrance..Other guest becoming frustrated -as I was too. It appeared as though, runners were not conveying "Open Table Info" BUT - To save the day and made for our visit Thee Most Pleasurable Dining Experience.. here comes LINDA ( Beans )... BOOM !!! lol (she knows) Amazing Eye Contact, Gentle Care, Genuine. Love Her !! And to add a little something special -She was emphatic to our needs.. My girlfriend recently, was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 1 (challenging) And Linda suggested a nice appetizer ( fitting ) and Some Orange Juice.. Wanted to Write or email YH Corp - Irvine office ( but not available ) Pasadena Yard House will always be my favorite location to dine read more

We came out to eat to support the economy. The yard house is one of our favorite places. But these are scary times and the cooks wore masks either below their nose or below their mouth, covering only their chin! The manager asked them to fix their masks which they did in front of him and then blew him off as soon as he turned his back. Don't we understand that if we can't safely go out that the virus will surge again and all business will have to close once again? Please please. We all need to be responsible so we can get back to normal as quickly as possible. And to those cooks, shame on you. read more

This place never disappoints and always delivers a consistent experience. Must try: The coconut shrimp and mu shoo egg rolls as appetizers! Great happy hour deals as well. Main Course: Either of the Enchilada stacks! (chicken or pork carnitas) Dessert: Chocolate souffle' (so good, you'll slap your own momma if she tried to get a bite!) read more

Food quality was just ok. We had a giant pretzel and the beer cheese sauce tasted sour and not like a cheese dip. I had also gotten the Korean BBQ cheesesteak, the meat look liked grounds beef and not ribeye. I even had to asked the waiter what type of meat it was. Service was slow and the waiter rarely checked on us. Will not be going back to this Yard House. read more

Our server Claire... definitely made this experience the best. I came here yesterday and let's say it wasn't the same experience lol. Claire is a Jem. She has gone over and beyond for my husband and I. She's a good server. As some one who worked in this world a short time ago I know that it's hard to find good service. Don't lose her read more

I am never disappointed here. Their menu is diverse and suits many tastes, the drinks are equipped with plenty of alcohol, and the service is amazing. Great people and great atmosphere! I recommend any of the burgers really. And the wings are amazing! read more

Worst experience ever ... customer services at its lowest. I have never been so humiliated by the two managers in this facility Shannon and black man. They took away a drink literally out of my hands "I don't know how many drinks you had before arrive" because I ordered a bottle of champagne that was on the menu on last call. I've never felt so discriminated read more

I'll admit that at large chain restaurants culinary experience typically take a back seat to convenience and space for big groups and such. Foods typically come out cold and service can be spotty. Not at this place. We ordered appetizers (cheese ball, shrimp dish, avocado dip) Pizza for the table, and main entrees (ribeye, cciopino, steak sandwich, salmon) and dessert (bunch of sweets). They all came out better than expected, at the right time, right temperature, and surprisingly with good flavor. Overall experience was better than expected for such a warehouse of a restaurant. I'd definitely go back and bring a large crowd of people. They can handle it. The only negative here: They don't clean the tables right away after each course and finding a server can be a bit of a challenge as the kitchen Is like a mile away from dining tables. read more

Monday 7/29/19 I went during happy hour and I was left unattended for 10 mins , it was pretty busy so I get it. I ordered chicken tenders and a beer... I took 3 bites and i wasn't feeling it, i ask for it to go and and sure enough as I get home I threw up all the food. Just threw the chicken tenders away . read more

I have been here a lot BUT the last time I went Claire was our server and she was great. One of those servers that you just want to anti the tip on. She provided the best service I have had. She was atentive and we walked out of there talking about how awesome she was. Thanks Claire! This place has good happy hour on food and some IPA's Good for dinner or just to go chat with a drink and friends or family. read more

I love their happy hour menu here. Been coming here for a while now for its next to the theater. Their happy hour menu is a good bang for your buck. They have a good variety. Their wings are always a hit no matter that day it is. They have a spicy tuna roll thats literally as big as the plate. The ambiance is nice especially when theres a big game on. They have their own beer blends in house as well. Will come back. read more

See all

Ahh...Yard House. I came here before entering the theater to watch Iron Man 2. Food was really good. The drinks were STRONG. I made the mistake of drinking before entering the theater. It was late at night and I eventually dozed off. Nevertheless, the drinks there are well worth the bucks. If you order, I'd go for the appetizers...smaller portions for a good price. DO TRY their SPICY TUNA roll. It's out of this world! read more

Oh no! The service was pretty bad this time around. It is probably due to the fact that we did not order any alcohol as we were pressed for time to go see a movie elsewhere. I suppose they were short staffed. However, on a Saturday night, they need to better staff their restaurant. We ordered the Ahi plate, the chicken strips, and the shrimp lettuce wraps. To our dismay, the portions were ridiculously tiny. How disappointing. The amount you pay versus what you get was lame. I would have probably re-rated this place a 2 star, but I remember they have awesome beers on tap. read more

We had a good time here! The selection of draft beer is amazing and enables one to sample lesser known, but incredible beer! The food was good. My wife said her French dip sandwich is one of the best she's ever eaten. Go early because it gets crowded. read more

I'm not trying to be negative here, Yard House has a great thing going! I have always enjoyed eating at this franchise. But I have never ate at a more busier location. This place was crazy, inside was completely packed, and people outside waiting to come in. For them to have so many people wanting to eat here shows how good this place is. I'm not a crowd person, maybe because I'm getting a little older? But I can do with out this. Other than that we had a great meal, our server however was not to bright? read more

One of our "go to" places when we are in LA. A perfect place to meet friends and a great food and beer selection. I had the grilled romaine salad and it did not disappoint. The pomegranate margarita was a little sweet, but still pretty good. But, you have to love any place where you can get a 1/2 yard of Guinness! It is a little pricey, but I have always been pleased with my food and the service is always good. read more

I went for lunch on a Wednesday around 2pm, and the place was fairly empty. It looked a bit like a PF Chang's, dark wood booths and tables inviting you in. The service was great--our server spunky and attentive in refilling our drinks and asking how our food was. But, the food was just "meh" and quite pricey given the portion size. I felt like I was in Europe, getting my fill of calories but not volume. I ordered the Chicken Tinga street tacos ($10.35). Even though they were called street tacos on the menu, I was astonished that, for over $10, they served those tiny things you order for $1 a piece at a taco truck (like 4" diameter tortilla). 5-stars for authenticity, 1-star for greed! They had decent flavor (2.5 star flavor), a little bit of kick as promised, but were mostly cabbage (1-star effort). The side of rice was a nice filler option, but the rice was kind of gross, tasting a bit burnt and being excessively greasy (1-star). But, I ate it all because I was hungry and couldn't complain in front of my new business associate. This dish also came with a side of beans (about 2 oz.). These were interesting, tasting a lot of lime, so I give them props for uniqueness there (3-stars on taste, 1-star on size). All in all, when it came time to order dessert, after having licked my plate clean and drinking three pints of water to fill my tummy, I broke my rule and ordered dessert as well. I got one of the $4 mini lava cake things, which as 3-stars in flavor (lacking of richness) and a reasonable size given the price. Bottom line: I would not go back here on my own dime given the mediocre food and small portions, even if the venue and servers are nice. read more

I had always been a fan of the Yard House since I went to the one in Long Beach. One day I was looking for things to do with my 5 year old daughter and we wound up in Pasadena. Having done kid stuff all day I figured lunch would be my choice so I chose the Yard House. To my surprise they have a kids menu! She was happy with her cheese pizza, fries and chocolate milk. The activities on the menu are engaging and she loves to play tic tac toe. It keeps her busy until the food arrives. One day, and I forget when, but the appetizers were half off so I ordered calamari. My daughter was hooked. Now she says "can we go to the place that has the crunchy things and the pizza with the fries?" I order the seared ahi tuna salad but since I'm on a diet and a budget, I started ordering the pear salad and it was really good too. My one bad experience happened on my last visit. We spent the day at the Huntington Library and Gardens and were tired and hungry from all the walking around. We arrived, got seated in one of those long booths next to the window. I've never had to wait too long to get seated. Ordered and got our drinks. Went to the bathroom, and as with kids, they tend to take long. When we came back, our table had been cleared! I'm surprised no one new was already sitting there! I told the waitress that happened to pass by and she called the manager. I told him what happened and he took care of it right away. My daughter started crying because she had worked on her coloring in the menu and was just down right grumpy and starving. I was pretty grumpy myself but didn't get upset at the manager. The waiter said the bus boy didn't see any personal belongings so they just assumed we left. To make a long story short, both our waiter and the manager took care of us and comped our calamaris. Very nice people. Accidents/mistakes happen. It's how they rectify the situation that matters and I will definitely be back . . . with a sweater or something to leave in the booth on our bathroom breaks. read more

HUGE menu. I've been to the Yard House a handful of times and every time it's been extremely busy. That being said, the service is a little slow but you can't blame them. It is a chain restaurant so I knew what I was getting myself into. It actually took a while to place our orders, but we received our orders rather quickly. Everything we ordered was tasty and the drinks were pretty good. I would come more often if not for all the hustle and bustle that you must endure at this place. read more

I had an amazing time with family at Yardhouse. Previously, I had a terrible experience at the downtown location. However, this time around, Pasadena location was awesome. Jessica was our server and she was absolutely wonderful. We had 10 month old twins with us and she was super accommodating. Thanks Jessica! read more

Good drinks, nachos and creme brulee.

This place is always so great. Every single member of the staff has ALWAYS been nice and courteous and more than able to help when trying to decide what you're going to eat and/or drink. The menu is large but not overwhelming and the ingredients are always fresh and the aromas are just intoxicating. They've got so many tvs everywhere and you can always see the games and the music is on point!! Definitely a gem. Way to go, Yardhouse! read more

This place ok. Good for late night or HH. This place wouldn't be my first choice but if I needed to go somewhere that's open late this could be a choice. Food is ok. Well haven't tried everything but the poke appetizer is good and I got the chicken penne pasta which was ok. Chicken was a little on the burnt side lol! Maybe I should check the reviews on here to see what's popular. Their fries are good though. Strawberry margarita is delish. Our waiter was attentive. Parking is at the structure or if you see street parking that's ok too. Don't forget to get your ticket validated. read more

Came here for lunch during an expo at the Pasadena Convention center last weekend. Hubby and colleague had the turkey club lunch special, came with fries and drink. I had the turkey melt and soup (French Onion) lunch special. For a lot of servers around, service was slow to order drinks and our meals.... She kept messing up our drink orders bring me regular coke instead of diet, thank god I'm not diabetic! Missing fries on the colleague's order. Food was good, would come again. read more

They have nice staff but the wait is kind of long because they are always busy! Their food is amazing try their salmon and vodka shrimp pasta it melts in your mouth! So good read more

This is a fun place to come eat & drink. If you're a beer lover, his is the place! From what I can tell, they have practically every beer you can imagine! Their wine selection, at least in the Pinot Noir selection, are not that great but honestly I don't think a lot of people come here for the wine. Lol. The food menu is great too! It's also located right next to the Arclight movie theater so if you want to grab a bite to eat either before or after your movie, it's VERY convenient. They have outside seating which can get loud depending on when you go but other than that, is is a fun place to be read more

I would say that Yard House is one of the better chain restaurants and the Pasadena location is one of my favorites. Like any yard house, the thing that stands out the most to me, is the great variety of beers on tap and their great service. I usually like to sit at the bar, even if I'm eating; there are plenty of tv's for your sports viewing pleasure. Last time I dined here, I had the Skirt Steak Cobb. I ordered the steak medium rare and the steak was cooked perfectly and was generous in portion. read more

Greet for happy hour or for watching a game. If you sit at the bar service is great. I've sat at a table a handful of time and service always lags. I'm not sure if it's just that the waiters are spread so thin or that where they pick up the food and bill is too far away. Overall food is pretty good and they have a large array of beer and cocktail selections. read more

Great menu with variety. Many great appetizers. The chicken tortilla soup is amazing.

Came on a Friday night and was seated right away for a large party. The service was attentive from the start, very much appreciated. The food was just ok, I think most people come here for the beer. The beer selection was on point! read more

Yard House is the spot to be for Happy Hour and excellent customer service! Once you enter in your greeted with enthusiasm. Our waitress was Jessica Merino. A+ service!! She went above and beyond to render awesome service. She knew the menu inside ams out. Jessica, recommended great appetizers. I will for sure return again, and again!! Everyone needs to check Yard House in Pasadena California!! Thanks for such a great time in your establishment. read more

I had the most wonderful experience at this location. As a server in the industry, I expect my service to be impeccable and I was delighted to find nothing but perfection here. Our server JaCoby was attentive and friendly. He even suggested the Chicken Enchilada Stack, which I've never tried, and I loved it. Also, the manager Shawn was very personable and made sure everything about our experience was amazing. I would definitely come back to this location! read more

Yard House - Looks good! (My extra sour cream slid off the top lol) - Bars Near Me - Pasadena, California

This place is right in Paseo Colorado so it's very convenient if you are doing some shopping or at the convention center. I am a huge fan of Yard House's in general and the food is always pretty consistent. We've had good experiences with the wait staff every time we go but be warned..this location gets CRAZY busy!! Mainly due to the fact that it's right by the convention center so there is always groups of people wearing badges around their necks having come directly from there. Lunches during can sometimes be a bit busy but dinners on the weekends were usually much worse. (Also it's right outside of the movie theater so if you are waiting outside for a table you might hear a bunch of people spoiling the ends of movies cause they're walking out lol!) The outside eating area of this restaurant is pretty nice and they have plastic cloth walls they pull down if it's raining as well as heaters that are attached to the ceiling. Word of warning though is that since the outside eating area is open air, sometimes people smoke right outside of it and you can definitely smell it pretty strongly. So if that bothers you I would take a seat inside. I would definitely go back there if in the area but would try to avoid peak times so I don't feel rushed. (The wait staff doesn't make you feel that way but you can see the hoards of people waiting outside and near the front desk.) read more

Terrible soup. Potatoes were cold, seemed like it was microwave. Expensive and terrible. Need to be cleaner.

I seem to only write reviews if my experience was poor or very good and in this case it was the latter so I'm very happy to write this . As far as the food, it's good stuff . The couple we went with loved the fish and chips and it's true , they are good . But the reason I would go back is the service my party received. It was literally top notch especially from Teddy , He really made things happen ! I just wanted to write this to thank him for all he did for us and as I saw what he was doing for everyone else . It's really nice to see professionals in charge . Whomever hired him , good job . read more

Ok, I'll start with I've been going to the yard house since they opened in LB around 1997. Yes, you can figure out close to my age since that was 20 years ago. Always a great spot when I go to the LBGP. I've been to many all over the country, but this will be strictly about the Pasadena location. I will say I haven't eaten here in probably over a year, but did this last weekend. Things change. New people show up, old people are booted out. New rules are enforced, old rules are out the window. Hopefully you get where I'm going. What used to always be so amazing was regretful at best. In the beer world we call the three items we ordered a drain pour. Don't even wanna waste the calories. First the bbq chx pizza we ordered well done was just an undercooked soggy mess that they threw under the salamander to just burn the top and do nothing to the crust. Second, the lettuce wraps were the most boring item ever. Having had them years ago they used to be amazing (I think). I'm sure the pizza and the wraps use the same chx, which is fine, but the bbq sauce kills the boring flavor on the pizza. The wrap chx is just bland and under seasoned, almost like canned chx. Lastly, and the one that hurt my heart the most was the ahi sashimi. Where has my beloved poke stack been sent off to! No way this ahi was seared on premise. It was the hardest, driest pice of "sashimi" I have ever had. It must come in pre seared in a nice package from the restaurant supply and sit in the frig for days until someone orders it. Since we only paid half price for the items, I didn't feel too badly ripped off, but had I paid full price I woulda been less excited. The two stars are for the friendly bartenders, and the amazing beer they had on tap. Its called DeGarre and it comes from a tiny bar in Bruges, Belgium. Not many outside of the beer world know this amazing beer, so I will share it with you, and you can thank me later. read more

I have had some great experiences here and some bad ones as well. Getting a table here on a weekend is horrendous and sometimes, not even worth the wait. (I could have sat down faster at Barney's Beanery down the street and be served and well fed before sitting down at the Yard House.) On weekends, it is best to get there 1 hour earlier than you want to dine, especially if you have large groups. I usually come with at least four people, so it gets frustrating waiting for 1.5 hours for a table. Aside from overcrowding issues on weekends, the food is either good or really bad. I find that the appetizers are better than the dinner entrees. I enjoy eating the lettuce wraps with shiitake and portabella mushrooms, the Hawaiian poke stack, grilled Jamaican wings, and the lobster, crab, & artichoke dip. Happy hour is good because they offer 1/2 priced appetizers and drink specials. read more

Recommend: lobster, crab and artichoke dip for appetizer and grilled ribeye steak - 12oz cut with shallot butter, garlic mashed potatoes and green beans! mmmm, this is even better than the most expensive steak on their menu. Dessert: Root Beer Float!!!! They have happy hour almost everyday except saturdays! 50% off appetizers! read more
