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 chicken nachos were so delicious- the salsa and quality of chips were very delicious. Will hands down get these again. The lobster garlic noodles are always bomb, but I have had better lobster noodles at other yard house locations. I love that they give you so much protein though! read more

Wife and I came here for a late dinner but ended up just getting nachos instead because we didn't want to eat too much so late. But the nachos were gooood. It's a pretty big order so well worth it. I guess it's bar food which I consider Yard House because of the drinks available. My wife had a beer with watermelon or something in it. She said it was so good. I don't drink but the wait staff was great at keeping my Diet Coke filled when they could. We came here on a Friday night and thought it would be crowded. It was and the bar was packed. But we only waited for maybe 5 minutes the most. Probably because it's such a large restaurant there is plenty of room to hold a sizable crowd. All in all a good place to come for casual bar food. Didn't get a dinner entree so can't comment on that. But this is a good place to go to for beer and snack. read more
I've been here a couple of times. It's about what you'd expect ... this place won't blow your mind or anything, but the food is generally not bad, and they're open later than most other restaurants in the area. The service tends to be reasonably friendly, but on the less-than-attentive side. Parking will be available in the area, but be prepared for some walking (unless you're lucky enough to score one of the curbside spots in front). In sum, this place is never my first choice for a meal, but it'll always do in a pinch (especially if it's late at night). read more

I always have a great time here. The bartenders are attentive, friendly and funny, which a plus for me. Food is spot on and the classic rock on on the speakers is perfect. I mean how can you not love Led Zeppelin, Heart, the red hop chili peppers etc! I've been coming here for over 10 years now and no matter who the bartenders are or the waiters and waitresses or the bar backs, it's always top quality service. Thank you Yard House for always being consistently Perfect. In my humble opinion. read more

We went in when they were letting people dine in during covid, with social distancing. So, every other table was blocked off. All the servers were wearing a shield and mask, and making their jobs twice as hard with all the running around to take and bring your food. The food was good, especially the Ahi poke (I think it was an appetizer) The drinks was really great, especially the Pomegranate margarita. The only problem was their host OR seating arrangement. We made our reservation to sit at the patio. I understand with the social distancing and all, but they wanted to sit us up against a wall. Like all 6 of us were to sit in one row, all facing a wall. What's wrong with this picture? Awkward! We couldn't sit 3 on each side or around the table. Because if we sat the way WE wanted to we would be to close to the table behind us. Very inconvenient. So we decided to sit inside around the table. read more

The Yard House is located in the Paseo Colorado mall beside the Cold Stone Creamery and Rubios on the 2nd floor of the Victoria's Secret building. I can't say I'm really a fan of Paseo since everything is so disconnected from one another in this outdoor type mall. The Yard House while one of the larger places to eat at the Paseo takes almost all of the 2nd floor of the Victoria Secret "building". The area we sat in while still having a roof over our heads was open to the outside with ceiling fans as opposed to being indoors with AC. This seating area is quite limited when compared to how large the footprint of the indoor dining area is. Usually when coming to the yard house it's sort of a novelty to get the super long yard glasses and have what equates to 3 beers in one glass but not this go around. I just wanted a normal beer and we weren't planning on staying too long. My wife ended up ordering some sort of ice cream dessert with a coffee and my friend and I just had a few beers. For me I can't really associate this place with food as much as I do for drinks so it's probably why whenever I go to a Yard House I never eat but they do have a wide variety of beer which is always a win. read more

First time going to a yardhouse, and it was lovely! The food was delicious, and our server was very nice and accommodating. We ate some yummy chicken and fried calamari and I got a complementary crème brûlée cheesecake for my birthday! It was a good time and I will absolutely stop by more to give their other food a try. read more

I stopped in on a Monday night for a happy hour and sat at the bar. It was pretty empty for a bit but it definitely picks up later in the evening. The bartenders were friendly, and the wine/food selection is hard to beat (on par with BJ's, but probably a little better). I had a delicious kale caesar with grilled chicken and ate every bite. Side note - love the music. It was a haute mix of 80's throwbacks (disco vibes, classic rock vibes, pretty sure I heard some Queen)... love that. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Pasadena area! read more

Came here for the first time, to any Yard House. Got the lunch special of a sandwich and salad. They are super high tech with iPads on the table to order, look at menu, and pay. Food was pretty good. Would eat here again if in the area. Came here for lunch to watch a movie at Arclight right nearby, like 10 feet away. Otherwise, this mall isn't that good re: shopping/eating. read more
This is probably my favorite Happy Hour spot - POKE NACHOS RULE!! I love the atmosphere, the food, the drinks & the service! And the best part is the outdoor patio seating. Shout out to Herman. He is the man!! He is very knowledgeable with the draft beers, has impeccable service & an approachable manner. He's hands down the best server we have had in a while. The reason the restaurant is named Yard House is for the Yard tall glasses you could order beer in. Sadly, they dont offer that size any more. It was pretty cool to see those glasses. They only have the half yards now. The thing that makes Yard House stand out for beers... Over 100 taps. Its cool to see the bar with taps all the way around the bar area. Too bad Im not a huge beer person, but my fave drink is the Ace Pineapple Cider! So yum! $2 off during Happy Hour! Ok, on to the Happy Hour menu. Ive tried all the food items on the menu & everything is delicious. My faves are Poke Nachos (best anywhere! Yummy sauces & generous portion), pork lumpia (Filipino egg rolls), cheese curds (both sauces are delicious), chicken nachos (huge & filling). From the regular menu, the spicy tuna roll is as big as your face! The Ahi crunchy salad is amazing. Pizzas are delicious. Sirloin & loaded potato stack is delicious! Everything is good. I love the atmosphere & feel of the restaurant. Its a very large restaurant with an amazing bar as the centerpiece. Patio seating is the best! Its located on the 2nd floor of Paseo Colorado mall across from ArcLight. The perfect spot for date night dinner & movie. It's close to the elevators that take you to the underground parking. Dont forget to validate! Also, my fave Salted Caramel Macaron is across the street at Europane! Definitely recommended! Awesome Happy Hour! read more

I'm going to start this review with a disclaimer that I only come here when it's happy hour and that I only order the appetizers and pizza. During happy hour at yard house you get all appetizers and pizza half off which ends up being an absolutely banger deal. I got an entire spread of food with all of my friends and it ended up being 7 dollars a person! The poke nachos are crazy good, and so were most of the other dishes. I will admit that the boneless chicken wings leave a little bit to be desired though... All in all, yard house is a definite keeper and I would super recommend it if you are trying to eat within it's happy hour time! read more

Love the Yard House food , service atmosphere all good. Yard House in Pasadena. Order the Ahi Steak Sandwich Very disappointed no flavor and the Ahi Steak was so thin I thought I had a piece of bologna instead. What was a thick cut was the two slices of tomatoes. Spinach Artichoke Appetizer was great also the service was very good. read more

We were headed to an event at the Pasadena Convention Center and decided to stop in for a quick snack and some drinks. I always order the poke nachos at any Yard House location I visit and it never disappoints, I would recommend giving it a try if you haven't already. We had the Malibu Peach (sweet, good if you don't like the taste of alcohol) and the Salted Watermelon Margarita (strong taste of alcohol). The staff was great and the restaurant was clean. read more
I have been coming to this location for a long time now and its always great. The drinks are very good and they have new ones every now and then. The food menu is pretty large and there's something for everyone, from tacos to steaks and both are very tasty. Its also kind of a sports bar sop its a good place to come watch your favorite team over some beers. Parking is underground and they validate so it wont be as expensive. Fun place to come and have a good time with your people over good food and drinks. The service is exceptional and speedy , anything you might need the friendly staff will take care of it. read more

The GM, Angel, has been professional and patient on two different occasions. I frequent YH for a specific dish and on my last two visits, I had questions about the dish. Apparently, the waiter notifies Angel when someone has a specific question or concern about a dish. Angel each time has been kind, patient and only desires to make sure that the questions are answered and that the customer is satisfied and welcome. By the way, try that Jambalaya dish when you get a chance. read more

This was my first time at a Yard House and definitely won't be my last! I came here with my friend from school during our gap from classes. So, we definitely needed some drinks being at school all day. We came here to get lunch and a few drinks (maybe a shot or two - shhh) it was absolutely delicious! I ordered the 8 in' BBQ pizza with a side of Caesar salad (it's called balance lol) and it was absolutely yummy and inexpensive! My friend ordered fried calamari and a few fancy drinks! The waitress/bartender was so sweet, fast and amazing! We will definitely be back soon! read more

Came here with a large party to celebrate happy hour and really enjoyed the selection of beers and appetizers. The chicken nachos was a nice large messy plate of yummy goodness with cheese and avocado and sour cream and chives. I'm trying to figure out if the spicy tuna roll should actually count as a spicy tuna roll since it is more like a spicy tuna cake that sits on top of a bed of Edemame. And then it's smothered with all kinds of crazy Asiany flavor spices and garnishes. The cheese curds weren't really done in a very good beer batter. It's the first time I've ever tried Wisconsin cheese curds. And from other pictures I've seen the batters not quite right and it seems like it was fried and some kind of sesame oil. It's a total California interpretation. But not bad. The pokey nachos was kind of a disappointment. The fried wonton skins didn't have any flavor in the pokey that was on top was not well seasoned. I think this was the least liked dish for me. The calamari is nothing to write home about either. I kept eating it because I don't want to try to like it. I could really get anywhere with that. These chicken lettuce wraps were pretty pleasant and I was happy to see that it was companied with butter lettuce. Not been a huge fan of chicken lettuce wrap. I think this was the second fave dish of the night for me. The chicken nachos would've been the second favorite. But I'm kind of skewed towards chicken nachos because I always like chicken nachos. The service was really good fun and friendly. Until I got busy towards the end of the night. Then I kind a got hard to re-order drinks, get water refills, and even get the check so we could leave. I was also disappointed that parking and up costing six bucks even after validation. My thought is if you're going to Uber up and back, it's totally a better way to go when you're not taking advantage of parking for more than two folks. read more
