Hot weather but underground parking and restaurant validated we didn't have to pay $ Ordered small cobb salad $14 and fish & chips. Both were ok i really liked the fish & chips for $24 it had three long pieces and the fries were great. Giving 4 stars because we waited a bit to order etc seemed to have the weekend football crowd. Table was dirty too. Enjoyed getting out and giving patronage to the Paseo businesses.
Amazing happy hour deals! I saw so many TikToks raving about how good the happy hour deals were at Yard House! Parking was pretty easy! There's a parking lot dedicated to the big shopping plaza that Yard House is located in. They have a 90 minute free parking with validation. My group and I went around 3:30 and there were a lot of people seated and waiting for seats. Although their restaurant is pretty big, the hostess did mention that they only had 3 waiters working so a lot of sections were closed off. We were seated within 10 minutes of waiting. We browsed the happy hour menu and ordered pretty quickly after sitting down. Our food all came out one by one. It was pretty decent for the price. We ordered 3 appetizers and the total came out to be ~$35. Appetizers: Poke Nachos (7.4/10): There's a good amount of tuna fish layered on top of the nachos. I really liked the wonton chips they use for this dish since it's a lot lighter than a regular tortilla chip. There's three different types of sauce that they drizzle on top for the nachos. There's a good amount of sweetness and spice between all the sauces. I just wish there were more fish and avocados. Chicken Tenders and Fries (7/10): This one is just your average chicken tenders with fries. It came with 5 tenders and a small basket of fries. The dipping sauces included ranch and honey mustard. This wasn't the same honey mustard I was used to and it had a sour taste to it. The chicken was crispy and had good seasoning in the batter. The fries weren't that good. It was soggy and didn't have any crisp to it. Chicken Nachos (6/10): This one was a heavy on the stomach dish. There's two different types of salsa, cheese, beans, and then a scoop of guac and sour cream in the middle. They used a tortilla chip instead of wonton chips for this dish. Everything felt like a mouthful.
We love coming here! This is our favorite location. Staff is always so welcoming and helpful. The food is always delicious and the drinks are great! Happy hour is honestly the best here of any places we go! Oh and o just discovered their ribeye steak! Omg so good! 10/10 try it! You will not be disappointed.
Delicious! 20oz Bone-in Ribeye (Well Done ) with side of sweet potato fries ,and broccoli 10/10 Everything was so fresh and done well . Outstanding 8oz Filet Mignon cooked (well done) side order of smashed potatoes, and asparagus. Delicious meal 10/10 Strawberry lemonade for the drink 5/5 Coke as well Great customer service, very positive and helpful staff , love the energy. More people like that is always needed in places like this . 5/5 Clean environment, nice and bright and well designed inside great setting . Definitely recommended Friends and family to have a dinner out Will be back soon
I love coming to this yard house for their happy hour Mon-Fri 3-6pm. The servers are always the sweetest! I alwaysss get the poke nachos, brussel sprouts, and chicken tenders! Great happy hour :3 !!
This was our first time at the Pasadena location. Looks like they are reviving The Paseo. We just before 5 and the place i was hopping. We had zero wait for our party of 5. This was our first time trying the happy hour menu and OH BOY! our faves was the Poke nachos, sliders, Pep pizza, wings and Brussels sprouts. The price is right but it was the service that took it over the top. Ashley and Jonah were the absolute BEST. They validate for the first 90 minutes. We're returning real soon.
Yard House Happy Hour is a go-to, but the real hack? Reserve ahead. I booked a table online while my girlfriend and I were en route, and it paid off, we walked past a growing wait, checked in, and were seated within 5 minutes. Peak efficiency. We went all in on Happy Hour: Buffalo Chicken Pizza, Wisconsin Fried Cheese Curds, Classic Sliders with fries, and the Spinach Artichoke Dip. The lineup is clearly built for sharing, and for the price point, it delivers. The cheese curds were a standout, crispy on the outside, gooey inside, while the sliders did exactly what you want them to do. The spinach dip was solid and one of our favorites on the Happy Hour menu. From the regular menu, we added the Spicy Jambalaya and 10 Crispy Traditional Wings (Buffalo + Lemon Pepper dry rub). The wings were the better play here, crispy, flavorful, and well-sauced. The jambalaya had good heat, especially alongside everything else. Service can make or break a busy Happy Hour, and Kat absolutely held it down. She struck that perfect balance, attentive without hovering, quick with check-ins, and helpful when we had questions. It felt dialed in, which isn't always a given during peak hours. The vibe is classic Yard House: high-energy but still versatile. You've got sports fans locked into the TVs, date nights in the mix, and groups celebrating, it somehow all works without feeling chaotic. Is it groundbreaking? No. But that's not really the point. Yard House knows its lane and executes it well. If you time it right and come for Happy Hour, you're getting solid value, dependable food, and a lively atmosphere. Would I come back? For Happy Hour, easily!
Just had a nice lunch here with a friend from out of town. I had the poke salad, and while it was tasty, it's not filling (especially for a $24 price point), so just be aware of that if you're starving like I was lol. It was on the salad menu, but saying the toppings were on a bed of lettuce would be giving the dish too much credit. It was more like a handful of lettuce underneath and that was it. My GF got the ahi salad off the salad menu and hers looked like an actual salad with plentiful lettuce. Only reason for the 4/5 is all of this! I tried one of the 7% "sour" beers on tap, not sure what to expect. I thought maybe sour meant kombucha-like aftertaste. It was KIND OF like that, but in a good way, not in a vinegar tasting way. It was actually really good, so def recommend trying a sour beer if you haven't before. It had the perf amount of sweetness. I find many cider beers to be too sweet for me, so was worried about that as well, but it was perf on sweetness level.
First time visiting the Yard House location in Pasadena with my boyfriend and it's officially our favorite. We'll absolutely be back soon! It was busy (as expected), and we waited about 20-25 minutes after checking in, which honestly wasn't bad at all. The vibes were welcoming from start to finish. Huge shoutout to our waiter TJ -- attentive, friendly, and just a great overall vibe. Service was incredible. Even after we paid, he made sure we knew we could still reach out if we needed anything. That kind of hospitality really stands out. We ordered a few items to share: truffle cheese pizza, fried calamari, Parmesan truffle fries with a side of blueberry ketchup (because I'm legit obsessed), and a Caesar salad. Everything was delicious, filling, paired nicely and the portions were solid. I was pleasantly surprised our bill wasn't higher considering how much we enjoyed everything. The Parmesan truffle fries + blueberry ketchup combo was the star of the show for me personally. Although I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the truffle cheese pizza even regardless that I'm not the biggest fan of mushrooms. It had a tasty garlicky sauce and the bread was so soft and warm. Fried calamari was decent, but some pieces were a bit chewy and salad also needed more dressing, other than that no real complaints! I also asked for some blueberry ketchup to go and TJ hooked it up with a generous container -- really appreciated that! My boyfriend ordered the House IPA and was even given a complimentary sample of the Belgian IPA, which was such a nice touch. Can't wait to come back during their happy hour deals! p.s. they do validate parking.
The Service: Sara was our server. She is awesome!! Super attentive and super patience waiting for us to order. Great customer service! The Food: They were prepared quickly. Fresh ingredients & plating nicely. I really enjoyed the grilled chicken & avocado burger. The Parking: Plaza parking structure. They validate parking, 90 minutes free. After that $1.5 every 30 minutes.
Had a good experience dining at the bar. Upon arrival, there was a bit of a crowd at the front waiting to be seated & the hostess didn't seem enthused, didn't make eye contact, was painfully slow & even tried to seat the party behind me despite me being next & standing directly in front of her. Weird. Even the other party told her I was next. So I informed her that I just wanted to sit at the bar & she said it was open seating. Thank goodness because standing there waiting & not feeling the slightest bit welcomed was unacceptable. At the bar, I was promptly greeted by Adam & ordered the sliders & fries. To my surprise, they were half off for the Happy Hour special. My order was delivered in under 10 minutes & was tasty. I'd return to this location but most likely not during the 4 o'clock hour on a Wednesday.
This review is for the service. The food was great, as per usual, and I consider Yard House to have one of the best happy hours, especially for food. My friend and I sat at the bar and we had awful service. Our server hardly ever came to check on us and we had to flag her down several times when she walked by when we wanted to order more or get a refill. She wasn't very friendly and almost seemed unhappy to help us. She never returned to close us out to where another person did since we were waiting awhile. He was really nice. Despite it being busy, we saw the others check on their customers regularly. Otherwise, the ambiance was fun for the World Cup Game!
Stopped by Yard House for lunch this afternoon and had a solid experience overall. We were greeted by the host and seated immediately, and our waitress was awesome very helpful with recommendations while we were picking out appetizers. The only thing that threw me off was when I was getting ready to pay the bill. I used the table kiosk to check my summary, and I noticed a $2.99 charge for video games. The device hadn't even been used until it was time to pay, so it was strange to see that automatically added to the total. Overall, a pretty good visit, but if you're paying on that device, make sure you check your bill to ensure everything is correct before you finish!

The overall Yelp review of 3.5 is pretty much on point. My first taste of anything from Yard House in over 12 years, it traveled home from Pasadena reasonably well. My wife's takeout for the family of bbq chicken pizza, beef sliders and fried chicken tenders. Fries were also included, but you know how those usually taste after a considerable distance. Ratings: BBQ Chicken Pizza 3.5 Beef Sliders 4 Chicken Tenders 3.5 Fries 2.5 read more

I like Yard House and their beers. It is a good place to hang out with friends and watch a football or a basketball game. They have a variety of beers on tap to choose from. The House IPA is my go-to beer. The food is just A-ok. We had the whiskey burger, which was new on the menu. I thought it was a little too salty for my taste. The service was ok. As for the reason, I only gave 3 stars, is that the food takes too long to get to our table. The server did apologize, though. We ordered a few appetizers in the beginning, and we waited too long for the food to arrive at our table. The other party got their food first before us, even though we ordered before them. I don't know why it takes too long for the food and drinks. I had to call the waiters a few times to get an update on our food. read more

I'm sorry to say I forgot the name of our waiter, because I asked for recommendation with parameters ("I like ambers/brown beers; what do you suggest?" And he delivered. The Hacker-Pschorr Dunkel beer was exactly what my taste buds were craving that night, and despite having had a late lunch, I devoured the poke nachos -- great balance of flavors (soy sauce, sesame), covered in cilantro and green onion with good portions of fish without being too heavy. Yelp says dog-friendly, but sounds like service-animals only? They were gracious and allowed me to have to dog with me on the patio. read more

It's tough to get a decent meal after 10pm in Pasadena. But, when all other places are closed, the yard house is open. The Yard House is one of the best restaurant chains out there. A great selection of beers on tap, and a large and varied menu. The food quality seems to be consistent no matter the location. Where else can you get Pizza, Tacos, Chinese Street Noodles with Shrimp, and a deliciously spicy bloody Mary! Service can be hit and miss, but overall, the Yard House is a tried-and-true destination! read more
Came here for lunch with co-workers, and I couldn't find many "healthy" options that sounded particularly good to me. Cheesecake Factory and BJ's have a much wider selection of low-calorie entrees so maybe I was comparing too much. I went with the Mediterranean salmon which was somewhat lacking in flavor, despite the generous amount of sauce and the seasoning that the salmon was encrusted in. The cauliflower was not an appealing texture (but I'm also not a fan of cauliflower) and I wouldn't say I loved my meal. The food also took a while to come out (but there was not much of a lunch rush as we expected). It was my co-worker's birthday so we got a free crème brûlée cheesecake which was amazing. I would probably come back just to get more of it. If you can, walk to the restaurant. Parking is difficult here. read more
I tried to make a reservation ahead of time since I was driving 30 minutes to this location. The website said that for a party of 2, there is no wait list. Just to come on in to be seated. I came with the expectation of being seated and to be put on a wait list. I am 15th on this waitlist. Called and told them why the website said one thing and when I arrived i was waitlisted. I was told not to rely on the website and to always call. Seems counterproductive to even have a website that offers to be put on the waitlist. What a big fail and a waste of my time. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants!! Their wait time even when buy tends to be quick, I went on a Friday night and got my family seated in 15 minutes. The food is absolutely STELLAR! I've gotten several different meals here (tacos, burgers, Thai pork, ect) and they've all been great. The atmosphere is definitely upbeat and it can be quite noisy when they're busy, but it doesn't take away from the experience in my opinion. When they're less busy, the atmosphere is great too. The views are at the booths are very pretty as well! Overall, I highly recommend! read more
This was recommended to us while in town for business. It was a short walk from our hotel which was super nice. Attached to a strip mall type place that felt pretty empty, I'm sure effects still from the pandemic. Restaurant was really good. Got the cheese dip and boneless wings for appetizer. Flavor was good but wings were not very warm. The queen dip was amazing. I got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It was a good chicken sandwich but definitely not Nashville hot. That was a disappointment, I was looking forward to some spice. My friend got the Philly cheesesteak, it was really good. Onion rings were great, fries were average. Our waitress Alysse (spelling?) was awesome. Friendly and very attentive. Very cool feel to the place being able to see the kegs under blue lights. Knocked down a star for the chicken wings being not very warm and the Nashville hot that was Nashville not. read more
About a 30-40 minute wait in a Sunday evening, food was great & huge portions for the jambalaya, steak, but the apps were very small. Chips and guac was like 6 chips total. Everyone else in our party ordered the rib eye, as well as the korean marinated steak and the restaurant managed to uniformly under-cooked all of them. Our peer ordered the steak medium well, but it came medium rare. My other friend got the medium, but it was medium rare to rare. Another ordered it medium, same thing happened. Plus, they could not take it back to throw it on the grill a bit longer due to safety or sanitary issues--but how is a person to know how did it cooked unless we open it up to see? They should have offered a replacement since our friend wasn't able to eat the steak that the restaurant messed up in cooking read more

After three visits to this Pasadena Yardhouse at different times of the day while attending a conference- I'm absolutely impressed! Visit 1 - after dinner drinks - our bartender Adam was very attentive even with it busy. They have an amazing smoked Old Fashion! Don't pass it up - you'll be hooked! You can also get food up to closing time. Visit 2 - our election night celebration for a group of 50+. The servers were very patient and attentive. Drinks came rather fast, appetizers/starters and dinner were pretty much served together. Not too bad considering the size of the group. Again the Smokey Old Fashion by Adam ! Tomato Bisque is great! Steak Bowl has a little kick to it with dried red pepper flakes, good portion of steak bites, bok choy , asparagus and snap peas. Visit 3 - after dinner drinks with a large group from same conference. The bartenders keep up with demand seamlessly. You won't disappointed if you're in a small group or large! read more
I've always liked this particular Yard House. I used to live down the street from it and have always loved their happy hour. I've really enjoyed trying the different beer and decided the honey blonde was my favorite. Their food has always been on point and never disappoints. Now that I've moved far away, whenever I'm back in town, I still gravitate towards Yard House. I dunno, this one in particular just tastes better. My go-to order is the onion ring tower. It's dusted with parmesan. The onion to batter ratio is just right. A lot of the onion rings out there have just too much batter and not enough onion. I also really love the cheese curds. It's chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Another must order for me is the kale Cesar salad with chicken. The chicken usually is tender and not too dry as chicken breast sometimes can get. Overall still my favorite Yard House. Too bad I now live hours away from it. But whenever I get the chance to be in Pasadena, I will definitely be coming back! read more

Always love coming here. The food is always great and the drinks are even better. Went to visit my mother and sister when my wife brought up a quick drink. I'm all in at this point of course. My wife had never had the wings and it's been way too long since we'd been to a yard house. Crispy wings were my favorite appetizer this day but the nachos never disappoint. I washed it all down with a Tarantula Hill's Liquid Candy. If you're an IPA lover such myself, you'll absolutely love this refreshing beverage. The booth with the street view is always great for people watching. Make a GREAT decision if you're in the area and stop in. Validation available as well. read more

We signed in and within 10 minutes, we were seated right away. It was a busy afternoon and the server only came to our table three times: one to take our order, the second because we asked for a refill, which never came, and the third for the bill. The food was okay. The calamari was a bit chewy and the fish and chips was very fried. The fish wasn't burned but it was crunchy. read more
Based on vegan options and tarty beers (usually have one or two on tap), this is a great chain that provides danky vegan options. This wings are made with gardein, and they have various flavors you can get 50/50 of per order. Ooohhh and it's available on their happy hr & late happy hr menu. Their beyond burger goes the thick gourmet style and comes with vegan cheese, I'm a fan! Happy Munchies, IG/TT @aVeganAndHer read more
Yard house happy hour is where it's at. The half off appetizers were really good and really big. I was expecting them to cheap out but it really met it's mark. They have a wide selection of beer from ales, stouts, ciders, and sours. And if you don't like beers, plenty of wines or cocktails to choose from as well. Lastly, they were very accommodating of a large group and sat about 20 of us on the patio without a hassle. read more

I came to this Yard House with my family on mother's day. We ordered the vampire tacos, jambalaya, and chicken nachos. To be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of American food, and this was no different. I thought the food was greasy, salty, and lacked depth in flavor. However, my family's all around favorites were the chicken nachos and the jambalaya. In addition, our server, Christian, was a delight. He was so kind, accommodating and even provided a free desert for mother's day, along with offering to take a photo. Five stars for the wonderful service. Out of everything ordered, I would order the chicken nachos again but not touch the rest. I think this is a nice place for the ambiance and service, but not necessarily the food. read more
