Horrible service, got our appetizers, dinner before my beer. Used to be good place, but they don't care about service, all about head count. ... read more

Went there around 9 o'clock to have a few drinks before watching a movie at the ArcLight next door. Service was okay. Our waiter was very attentive until a group of 4 women sat right next to us. I wasn't sure who they were because each woman at the table had either a server or manager talking to them. I figure they work they're seeing as how they knew every single staff member that walked by and it kind of sucks knowing that once an employee walks in regular guests are brushed off. I worked in many restaurants before. Our rule was that if we are going to eat at that restaurant we need to accept the fact that regular guests will be taken care of first and foremost and we will come second but obviously the Yard House doesn't follow that rule read more

I usually come here every other few months on a weekday during happy hour (3-6 pm) the half-priced appetizers are great (except the chicken nachos, try to avoid those) but there blue crab cakes are delicious and definitely worth the price during happy hour, also this place has the best Clam Chowder i have ever had! read more

I went here after work with some co-workers for happy hour, and the discounted appetizers were about the only perk of the evening. We were seated immediately in a booth directly under a vent-after walking in from the pouring rain-and freezing cold air was blasting down at the table. We asked our waitress about it, and she said it was always cold in there, nothing she could do. About 5 minutes later, she introduced us to our second waitress of the evening, who told us that the cold air was due to a broken air duct. She then sent her manager over, who told us he had turned the air off...he hadn't. Our third waitress of the evening then came over and by then, we had just accepted the fact that we were going to be uncomfortable. We ordered several appetizers and drinks, and while everything tasted fine, nothing was special enough to justify the atmosphere. We were cold and could not ever determine who our waitress(es) were. We ended up rushing through what was intended to be a lengthy holiday celebration just so we could get out of there into somewhere comfortable with decent service. While the menu and beer selection certainly have something for everyone, there are much more exciting and less generic restaurants in Pasadena. read more

Only good things to say about this place. I went for my B-Day this year and had a GGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRREAT dinner. I had the Steak and shrimp(the steak is fantastic- no A1 sauce needed!). Good selection of beer and the service was great too. Our witress was attentive and charismatic. The best part for me was the music that they have going. It ranged from Weezer to The Beatles to CCR to MJ to (...I could go on and on). It sounded like they had my iPod connected to the speaker. Good times! read more

Happy Hour is the best. Really good Nachos and beer selection.

I usually go there for happy hour and it gets pretty packed during a weekday. Awesome food with awesome beers.

I love their Happy hour! the happy hour food is awesome. My favorite is the seared ahi tuna! yummy!

Must visit. Often. At least until one has tried all of the beers on the menu. And the Spicy Jambalaya.

Yard House's new vegetarian menu is great, tonight's service was less than good, good thing there's plenty of beer :)

They have good food and a great beer selection. It's rather pricey though so I try to go during the happy hour, which is decent.

This place is definitely good for big groups or a date. The environment can definitely get pretty loud especially on nights and weekend. Drinks were pretty good and staff was friendly and helpful. Felt like some of their food was too overpriced but it was decent food. Nothing too spectacular but nothing too horrible either. I'd def. come here to just chill at the bar and watch a sportsgame, but if you are in the paseo colorado area this place isn't too bad. read more

In an effort to provide this "run of the mill" chain restaurant another chance at my money my wife and I and two friends decided to go last night for dinner. Let me tell you that I, as well as my entire party was disappointed at the level of service and food that this place offers. I was encouraged that last night was going to be good because we sat down within one minute of checking in. I figured that this is going good so far! I order a beer; mind you I do consider myself a snob when I drink beer because I tend to only drink IPA's or complex Belgian Ales. I do not go to Yard House to drink Bud Light or any other mainstream beer they may serve. The food choices were not promising and since I didn't want to take a chance at a place I have had problems in the past, my wife and I thought we should play it safe and have a pizza and salad. The margarita pizza was the worse by far that I have ever had in my life. The pizza was soggy! The roma tomatoes were bitter, extremely acidic and scarce. The waitress offered no parmesan cheese or chili to cover this greasy disaster. We also had a grilled chicken Caesar salad. What peeves me off the most is when the person who prepared the salad leaves the bottom of the romaine that is thick and has no taste or business inside of the salad. If I made this salad at home I would have removed this portion of stalk. Our waitress was very inattentive and did not follow up with us often. Drink orders took almost ten to twenty minutes to get. Overall I will never return to a Yard House until they tear down the place. I have complained in the past but it gets me no where. But, if I can stop some poor unfortunate soul from coming to this place at least I feel like I have accomplished something. read more

I haven't been here in a long time, after my last visit, I know why. I came for lunch during the week. It was not busy at all...that should have been a sign. Our service was terrible and it wasn't even busy. Our waiter rarely came around. We has to ask random servers for refills, silverware, my friend's meal (I was served mine but not hers), and the check. As for the food..... I ordered an old favorite, the spicy tuna roll and my friend got the crunchy seared ahi tuna salad. We were both disappointed in the taste. Mine fish tasted fatty and not fresh. I was hungry, I ate it all. About 2 hours later, I got really sick. I definitely will not get fish there again. Maybe just a beer and fries next time. There are plenty of other places that have far better food with a great bar. read more

It's a little pricy but I love the beer selection and the spinach dip

A little overpriced and incredibly loud, but they have some really unique menu items. See my full review: http://theyummierthingsinlife.blogspot.com/2012/01/high-class-american.html read more

Was not impressed... Food was mediocre, the plate did not work well with itself.... I had the jerk chicken and shrimp stack, the shrimp was cooked perfectly however I don't see how the salsa verde and red enchilada sauce paired with the jerk chicken. If your going to put two different entrees on the same plate at least put something there that will bring them together and make the whole plate work... over all, over priced food for the quality. I wasn't blown away by the service, it was a slow lunch so I don't see why we couldn't get a little more attention, nor was I disappointed. If you go there just for the beer selection try Lucky Baldwins down the street as they have a much better selection of imported Belgian beer. read more

Been here many, many times. Food, service and beer selection consistently good. read more

This is a good place to come once in a great while for Happy Hour, particularly the later nite one. They have a great selection of beers. Service is average at best (it's funny b/c a lot of the servers are kind of snobby like they're better than you and they own the place. I've never understood this attitude in the service industry since the job is to provide a great experience). Food is kind of expensive when not on Happy Hour and it is not very good. Maybe average. It reminds me of a cheap version of Cheesecake Factory food and their food is not really great either. Happy Hour makes it worth a visit a couple times a year if you want to grab a couple beers and a snack after a movie. read more

Come here for the alcohol more than the food. The food takes a while to come out of the kitchen, keep this in mind if you are here on a lunch hour even the waiter/waitress didn't know what was taking so long. The food is okay and service is friendly although not grade A. A nice place for Happy Hour, it does get crowded as expected . read more

Came here for my six years anniversary. I tried the Mediterranean seared scallop (taste good only when it's still hot). The house special macaroni and cheese (you could only eat so much of it; taste good while it's still hot (for a person that's not a big fan of cheese). However, they have the best fried calamari I have ever tasted. Also, the atmosphere is very casual and relaxing. read more

This is my husband and my favourite place to go out for something amazing to eat and great drinks too. We discovered it when we went to see a movie and decided to grab a bite to eat before. Each time we order food not only is there more than enough (sometimes we only put in one order for the both of us) but the meal is truly outstanding. We have never been disappointed with the food. As for the selection of beer... I'm not a beer drinker but my husband is and he's truly like a kid in a toy store when it comes to the selections. He's always trying out a new one. We love this place so much that we go there every year for our birthday celebrations. Thank you Yard House!!! read more

Yard house was great all around.. We had an unreal waitress who was energetic and around when needed but not overbearing.. An unreal amount of tap beer makes this place a must try.. I had the (Mac*cheese)2 and it was awesome. I'm more of a burger guy, but being on vacation the wife told me I'd had enough burgers.. I would choose the Mac chesse over a burger 9 out of 10 times. The cheese was so great and with chicken and bacon in there as well, wow... Try it...just a heads up.. We went for dinner and got the smaller portion (2 options-small or large) and both walked away stuffed. I'm a sports fanatic and yard house worked for me as well, lots of tvs read more

Very good lunch! I had the Cuban roast pork dip sandwich and it was great! Totally different and much better than the Cuban offering at Cheese Cake Factory. Fries came out cold, but were quickly replaced with piping hot ones. They are opening one at Riverpark in Oxnard this spring. Hope they import the cooks from Pasadena! read more

Even though the Yardhouse has a coporate vibe, I am still a fan. They have the best draft beer happy hour around. They have an excellent selection of brew like Moose Drool, IPA, and Green Flash. During Happy Hour all of the beer is discounted and its always nice to save bucks. There is pizza and other appetizers that are also reduced in price. My only complaint is the music is a bit loud and be prepared for a rock and roll sound tract. It's all good anyway. read more

Love the food and the service here. Have had two or three not-as-good experiences (mainly with a particular dish, the Mac 'N' Cheese Squared, being delivered at room temperature), but I don't think we've ever had bad service here, and we've been going almost three years. Another thing -- if you're a vegetarian, you will LOVE it here, because they can substitute Gardein brand veggie "meats" on many of their dishes. I once got the Barbecued Chicken with Gardein chicken strips substituted for the chicken, and it was quite good. It can be a little noisy in here because it's a sports bar, and also because they don't have carpeting on the floor, which just makes it naturally louder. But it's a large, spacious place that doesn't feel cramped now matter how crowded it gets. I love Yard House, and me and my friends eat there often. read more

The food is consistently very good but a bit pricey. We usually get a variety of appetizers and never disappointed. Love the large selection of beers!!!! Service usually very good. Only complaint is NOISE LEVEL both inside and out. We usually choose to eat on patio because it is quieter, but once it fills up it's even hard to talk to your companion there. (why oh why is it that restaurant owners do not deal with this???) Very convenient eatery for Pasadena Arclight theatre. read more

It's always crowded there is always a wait... But i guess considering the place is a sports bar I shouldn't complain. The food is meh... The tuna app is very good... Overall the prices match their food so I'm not going to complain... It's decent... read more

Love this place. A huge selection of beers, awesome sauce chicken wings (they have vegan chicken wings too if you are so inclined), great service and location. The only things which sucks is the looong wait times (on weekends) and they don't take reservations. read more

Went for a late night dinner, ordered a very tasty fish sandwich. Mahi with caramelised onions, really good. Although the food was great, the service was below average. Had to ask for a glass of water 4 times before it came to the table. The ambience was nice, although the music was way too loud, it was hard to have a conversation. Lots of televisions all round to watch various sports games which was nice. The place wasn't lit well enough. I wouldn't recommend coming here, based on the poor and slow service. read more

I gathered a group of about a dozen for lunch here on a recent Saturday. What can I say? The food was perfect. Nobody at our large table had any problems. The place is clean. The staff is eager to please. The parking is a snap (they validate a portion of your parking) Restrooms = Clean. Menu = Large Variety of very creative and diverse selections. I would return without hesitation. read more

Went on a double date last Friday 1/10/14. The service was great. You can call about 30 to 45 minutes ahead and place your names down so you don't have to wait so long when you actually get there. Which i personally think is very convenient especially if you have 4 or more in your group. The waiter was awesome. He was very attentive, really nice, always making sure everything was ok. The prices were a bit high but the food overall is maybe worth it. The reason why I am giving this location 4 stars is mostly because of what they no longer serve and or have available. A1 steak sauce and Honey Jack Daniels (at least that is what we were told) I know it's not our waiters fault and I am in no way blaming him. SO if you are a fan of either or you may want to reconsider going to this establishment. read more

It was a fun place, cool atmosphere, go for that! Great drink menu, lots of selection, but I couldn't help but think it was more of a place like Chili's? You know, sort of (really) crowded, having to wait a long time for a table, etc. But the food was good- huge portions, I had to take home a SALAD (BBQ chicken) that I ate in two more sittings. Just to give you an idea- like, massive! All and all- this is a fun place to take family or friends or a bigger group that is visiting you from out of town. read more

Dropped in for quick lunch 2/8/14. Burger was cooked well despite asking for medium rare. Service a little on slow side. Good place for beer and alcoholic drinks since menu they took up most of menu. Huge bar area with plenty of sports on many tv screens. Good hang out place but not recommended for foodies. read more

It's good place. Meatful menu. Popular, lots of TV's. Noisy and active inside. Great selection of beers and probably more but I've only been 2x. I'd go again. read more

Other than the forever wait, the food is good and fast. The place is noisy and friendly with a bar like feel although families are welcome. I took my younger nieces there and they thought they were in a bar but we all enjoyed our food and dessert. Fun place! Only thing I hate is it's location at Paseo where the parking on a weekend is always a mess. read more

Oh my I went with my bf to have a nice dinner lunch and guess what I found in my mash potatoes paper I should or really taken a pic darn they at least didn't make us pay but I doubt we will be returning I actually use to love this place read more

I frequent Yardhouse, especially for Happy Hour! I am probably there at least once a week. Their wings, spinach and artichoke dip, nachos and drinks are great! The staff is always nice and the place is always high energy. I have never had a bad experience at YardHouse. There have been times when I have gone 2-3 times in one week, I love that place to chill and have a sip of hard cider. read more

My partner and I stopped in at the Yard House on the day of Pasadena's music festival which spans several blocks. We thought a beer and some dinner would be a good idea. However, after we were given a buzzer (there was a wait for a table) and were making our way to the bar, we were stopped because I was carrying a stainless steel water bottle which apparently is not "allowed." I understand that companies don't want people bringing food or drink into their establishments, but when there is a music festival outside of your front door, you might want to make a few exceptions - you know, like when someone is carrying a non-disposable (good for the environment) water bottle. We were going to spend good money here, but instead we left. I'll never go back. read more

Vanessa who works behind the bar used my glass I drank a Stella out of and used it to refill a dos Equis... Fries were soggy and Brazil lost. Over this place. read more
