Haven't been here in 4 years so decided to try it out since from my last visit I wasn't very satisfied. They have HH Monday-Friday 3 pm-6pm and Sunday-Thursday 10 pm-close. 1/2 off on selected appetizers and $2 off beer, wine, spirits & cocktails. I must say their classic dry martini was perfect to my liking. I ordered their house cheesesteak with sweet potato fries. It was cheesy and they didn't skimp out on the meat. My BF ordered the two pepper jack burger with fries, it was juicy and delicious. read more

We stopped into Yard House to grab a drink and appetizers before heading to the movies. We ended up ordering the Poke Nachos, which are one of our favorites and are always good. We also decided to try the Crispy Brussels Sprouts for the first time, and they did not disappoint. They are roasted in a gochujang sauce and almost had a hint of citrus in them. They came with a garlic aioli that was really good. We would definitely order them again. I also had a glass of wine, and our server was so friendly. She was attentive without being overbearing and made sure we got our food and drinks quickly so we could get out in time for our movie. It was a great quick stop before the movies! read more

Ended up at Yard House during a short trip to Phoenix, it wasn't my first choice, but it still turned out to be a decent visit overall. The food and service were just okay, nothing standout either way. What they do consistently well is the beer selection, always impressive and a big reason to go. Even if the meal didn't wow me, I still had a good time. Solid 3-star experience read more

While the restaurant was quite busy, I waited approximately 15 minutes for a table as I preferred not to sit at the bar. Once seated, I ordered a Paloma, but unfortunately, it tasted watered down. For my meal, I had the whiskey and aged cheddar burger. While the burger itself was very good and the fries were amazing, I found the portion size of the burger to be quite small, especially when compared to the serving of fries. I would have appreciated a more substantial portion for the main course. read more

Yard House has great food. The only thing that sucked today was how long we had to wait to eat. It was busy in a sense that people were done eating but staying around to chit chat. Which is fine. It took awhile for our waitress to show up to our table and I believe she only came when she did was because I ordered our appetizer (pretzel with cheese or mustard) through the machine at the table . It wouldn't let me order food which sucked so we had to wait. When she did finally come, she was prompt in taking our drinks and our food order. They have a garlic aioli that was sooo good that I will probably grab one from now on when I go. The restaurant was a bit too dark as well. Some tables had working tealight candles while others didn't. Ours did not so we had to use our phones for light to read the menu and take pictures. I like the vibe but definitely think a bit more light would make the ambiance more welcoming. read more

Stopped by Yard House on Christmas Eve for some quick bites during happy hour before heading to a Christmas light show, and it was the perfect choice. We joined the waitlist online ahead of time and were seated immediately when we walked in--such a great perk, especially on a busy holiday. We ordered food through the kiosk, and our waiter came by to take our drink orders, which made everything super easy and efficient. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the happy hour menu at Yard House is one of the best for food and apps. The number of half-price appetizer options is honestly dangerous--in the best way. We went a little wild and ordered around 10 (maybe even 12?) dishes for six people. Way too much food... but no regrets. We even had leftovers, and the total was still under $100, which is kind of amazing. The poke nachos are always a standout and a must-order. Overall, Yard House is such a solid happy hour spot--great value, tons of options, and I really appreciate that they have a parking lot. I hate street parking, so that alone is a win for me. Will definitely keep coming back for happy hour. read more

3.5/5 Yard House is a Darden restaurant so if you have some gift cards to use up, it's an OK place to use them. They are known for their wide selection of draft beer but they do have a good selection of spirits, mocktails and low proof drinks. We got here around 5 on a Friday and it was already quite busy. They offer a happy hour with discounted drinks and appetizers so we got the blackened ahi sashimi, Gardein wings, and I tried the kish and tell cocktail. For a main course I had the lobster garlic noodles with a side of kale and romaine Caesar salad. I liked the flavors of the ahi sashimi but I'd probably pass on the Gardein wings for next time. As a meat alternative it's OK but there are better faux chicken options out there. The kish and tell cocktail is made with kish shine soju, cranberry, lychee purée, and lime juice. I definitely got a buzz from the drink and it had a good balance of sweet and tart flavors. For happy hour this drink and others like it are $2 off. While there was an ample amount of lobster in the noodles, the sauce was way too salty for me. I couldn't eat all of it because of the salt level. The side salad was much more enjoyable. It was a very generous portion and the combination of roasted brussels sprouts, pistachios, raisins, baby tomatoes, and parmesan worked well together. Service was very friendly and our server was helpful at answering any questions we had about the menu. read more

Went to Yard House right after the game it was a bit busy but we got a table after about 5 minutes. I love coming here, food is always yummy. It's in a shopping mall so you can go out and shop before or after eating here :) We requested garlic aioli on our burger instead of horseradish aioli due to not liking horseradish and our server made it possible! read more

10/10/2025 Update: Finally got our half yard! Jeez!! I was told they default to a mug you have to specify half yard, though some server girl came to our table by accident trying to give us one with a tag we already had LOL. The burgers were great, and the bill didn't break the bank this time thanks to our tag for $5 half yard (32oz). Too bad we can't use in in November when my mom visits us. Thank you. $25.00/person (including tip) Nice atmosphere though a little loud (was a Friday night) Waitress was courteous, respectful, and attentive Original Review 9/2025: Way too overpriced otherwise would've been 5 stars! They need to bring things down a little. Thank you. $47.50/person (including tip) Nice atmosphere Waiters need to explain deals better (ie the stein deal having a limited period of use) read more

Would have liked to eat outside but hostess was a little stuffy about opening up another table, so we sat inside. Our server was terrific and gave us some sound advice. We were going light due to plans later in the day so we split the house salad and the three fish taco plate. Server brought the salad to the table split and we divvied up the tacos. Salad was fresh and lightly dressed, plenty of veggies. Taco shells were small but they each had a nice strip of deep fried fish topped with guacamole and a little cheese and lettuce. This is where the sever saved us. She asked if we like spicy and we said a little. She suggested we get our sauces on the side. GREAT ADVICE ! Two of the sauces were fine - medium heat and tasty, but the third sauce was killer hot. I tried a little and my hair stood up immediately. I can only imagine what it would be like exiting my body. I'm guessing a pure flame thrower. Wowza ! Nice place, highly recommend without any reservations. Will return. read more

Lots of choices, great food, plenty of seating. Came here after watching F1 (good movie BTW) for a little bite after loads of & . Chicken tortilla soup was thick(love that) but very salty, good chunks of chicken. Orange chicken is always . Service is good. read more

I thought that this was Darden company and was not greeted with the typical Darden hospitality. Came in, was seated by the hostess, did not need menus, and the was confronted by an older server named Stephanie, with a bad bob, about how I seated myself and had to check in with the hostess in a very confrontational manor. Will not be coming back. read more

Yard House is an excellent option if you aren't sure what exactly you're in the mood to eat - they have a huge variety of options! From poke to burgers to American apps. We walked in on a Friday afternoon and were seated immediately. Ambience was casual, it was busy but not overly loud. Our server was attentive and friendly, and his drop by's were perfectly timed. We paid using the kiosk on the table which made it super easy. I ordered the grilled chicken & avocado sandwich with fries (side of ranch, obviously) and it was delicious. My cousin got the burger lettuce wrapped and said it was so good. Desert Ridge is surrounded by shops and has a ton of parking too which is convenient. read more

Olive Garden is to the older generations what Yardhouse is to us Millennials. In an age of trendy new spots it's one chain that I'll repeat visiting. It's classic, reliable, and everyone leaves happy. The menu is large enough for anyone to find what they like and it changes enough to keep it fresh. I've never ordered anything that was disappointing and I've always had good service. The locations are also well done as you can always find one at any big entertainment district. This Desert Ridge location has survived when it's neighbor spot has never lasted over the years. read more

Happy hour is the best here at Yard House! Happy Hour is M-F from 3-6 PM, and includes most appetizers and pizzas at 50% off. We came here for Happy Hour on Memorial Day, and we waited about 15-20 minutes for a booth. Our server was amazing! Her name was Emily M. and she constantly checked up on us and refilled our water. She was so sweet and definitely enhanced our overall experience. Everything we ordered was off of the Happy Hour menu: poke nachos, chicken nachos, boneless wings, fried calamari, carnivore pizza, and truffle mushroom pizza. Everything came out fairly quickly and was so delicious. We always have great experiences at Yard House, it's definitely a great place to go with family or friends. The menu is extensive and there is always something for everyone. read more

Always love the yard house! My parents and I have found it consistently good, no matter what location or state it's in.

I came here by myself. There was no wait. I was offered a taste of the mango foxtrot and they also brought a taster of the seasonal cider. I loved the seasonal cider more than the mango I originally wanted. The seasonal cider was apple pie and it smelled and tasted like an actual Apple pie. It was really good. The steak was also good. The vegetables could've used more attention. Not enough seasoning or cooked long enough. The steak was med rare and very delicious. It had enough seasoning and the sauce they had was also very good. Mashed potatoes are mashed potatoes and creamy and buttery. The filet was 38 dollars. Do I think the filet was worth 38 dollars? Maybe not that expensive but it was still a very nice meal overall read more

I've been to Yard House in both Texas and Arizona but this was my first time visiting the location in Desert Ridge Marketplace. I stopped by on a weekday for a late dinner. While it gets busy here, they have a huge parking lot so you'll be able to find a spot. Ambiance (3/5): I decided to sit at the bar. Yard House is a large restaurant with booths, tables, bar seating, and bar-top seating so take your pick. The decor and ambiance are on par with other chain restaurants. It's nice and it does the job. Service (4.5/5): While not always the case, I like attentive service at the bar and that's exactly what I experienced here. The bartender was efficient, friendly, and made recommendations based on my questions. A great job all around. Drinks (5/5): This is one of the areas where Yard House shines. They are known for their beer and have an extensive list of local, national, and international beers. And they even have a few beers brewed in-house. Since I'm a sucker for variety, I built my own flight. All of the beers I selected were ones I hadn't tried before. This is bliss for me. Food (4/5): I wasn't looking for a heavy meal so I went with the sliders appetizer. You'll receive three sliders with the typical fix-ins and a side of fries. While it's an app, it's a generous portion. I also had a free dessert for my birthday and ended up going with the Oreo Brookie (a fusion between a cookie and a brownie). It's served a la mode with vanilla ice cream which is always a good decision. Unfortunately, the dessert was a little too dry for my liking. Maybe I should have gone with one of their other options. It's tough for me to pass up on anything Oreo-related though. If you're looking for some good brews and solid food for a chain, Yard House is a good choice. Be like me and sign up for their email newsletter to receive a free dessert on your birthday. read more

My friends and I always want to try to break up the week every other week and try a spot for happy hour. Sometimes out of convenience we will go to a regular spot that we know we get good food and good service. Last week we decided to try yardhouse! Their happy hour did not disappoint. We went on a Thursday, there wasn't a wait for 3 people at 5pm but shortly after being seated it looked like it did get busier. The ambiance was pretty chill and dark so that was relaxing. However, I gave this a 4 stars instead of 5 because of the tables where we were seated. I can understand maximizing your space but it was so crowded that if people were coming in, we couldn't stand up until the whole party of whoever is walking got by us. We were by the tables in between the bar and the booths. Service was good though, no complaints there! Also the food was really good and I'm sure I'm friends and I may make this spot one of our regulars. read more

I love coming here for happy hour.! It is such a great deal. The food is always delicious, if you love spicy foods, the poke nachos are amazing. Service is very fast and friendly. The only thing I would change is the volume of the music, is very hard to have a conversation. read more

I really liked the food, the ambiance and the service. We had a very large party of 15+ and they accommodated us all in 1 table. The wait was reasonable, around 30 minutes. It's in a big old outdoor mall, so parking is plenty. Whoever thought of adding a 6oz Sirloin stake to the kids menu is truly a genius. The pizza was delicious. The queso appetizer was very yummy. I'd definitely come back. read more

Another regular dinner visit! Always been pleased with their service Beer selection! Very consistent!

So happy we returned to the Yardhouse after a long time. My wife and I had a burger that was fabulous with a whiskey glaze, cremini mushrooms, and a horseradish aïoli. The truffle Parmesan fries were delicious. Pokey appetizer nachos were full of flavor and surprises. The Belgian white beer with a slice of orange on top was refreshing. But more than anything our waitress, Zoe explained everything and made sure that we were happy with every small detail. She put this experience over five stars. read more

Met some Friends for Happy Hour. We had a Happy Hour Truffle pizza and Ahi Tuna Sashimi, both excellent. Our Friends had chicken tendors and a HUGE salad, it is was the Small size. All GOOD. BUT they had a seasonal beer, that was a Chocolate, Coffee, brewed with some Bourbon that was EXCELLENT. And Toby our waiter mentioned that you can get a 32oz Growler to go for $17, and considering it was $8 for 9oz on happy hour ($10 not on Happy Hour) I HAD TO GET ONE TO GO!!!!! Will have to have it when I am NOT driving home as it is higher than regular beer alcohol content!!! read more

Yard House never fails me. I always come back here for the lobster or shiitake garlic noodles, poke nachos, four-cheese spinach dip, and mac and cheese. These are all SO GOOD and always reliable.

We dined at yard house for a school fundraiser. The steaks were good quality but way over salted which knocked some points off the review. They had a nice selection of sides and deserts. The restaurant was clean. Service was smooth and quick. read more

As far as chains go, solid. A little pricey for what it is and I will always prefer a local place, but this is a good option at desert ridge in my opinion. The food is delicious if you order the right things. Poke nachos, spinach dip, and lobster garlic noodles are my family's favorites. Our server was super friendly and quick to respond to our requests. It's a cozy, clean place that's usually somewhat bustling, but it's great for a night out. read more

I will start by saying that I love Yard House and I love the ahi crusted tuna sandwich. With that said, my lunch yesterday was not the best. The tuna on the sandwich was over cooked and the sandwich was very dry in comparison to what I have had at other Yard House locations. Also, the portion size on the side of fries looked like it belonged on a kid's meal, and I am not sure a kid would have been happy with it either. The Coke Zero was great and the server was good. The place seemed clean. I was originally sat at a center table and soon found out that it was broken and would not level. I asked to be sat at one of the many open booths and was moved to one, which was what I would have preferred to begin with. read more

After a long flight, we were famished and wanted a restaurant near our hotel. When I saw that there was a Yard House nearby, it was a no-brainer. Yard House is my go-to spot when I can't decide what I'm in the mood for because of its lively atmosphere, huge menu, and reliably good food. When we arrived, the place was packed but we were quickly seated. I went with the chicken nachos and a strawberry mule, while my husband got the classic cheeseburger. Everything hit the spot! Plus, our waiter was fantastic, which made the whole experience even better. We left totally happy and full. Yard House is always a solid choice & this location did not disappoint. read more

Tried the Yard House again. This time we ordered the Fish n Chips and the Mediterranean salmon. The fish and chips tasted definitely better. Fish and fries were a good size portion and very fresh. The Salmon was not tasty at all. Even the Tahini sauce did not do justice to the taste. The cauliflower hash with vegetables was good though. Not sure why the food taste does not improve here. read more

The staff was so welcoming and nice! I brought a friend here to have lunch and unwind on a Monday! This was my first time at this location....(Scottsdale location is closed)! First off these were some of the kindest humans working in the restaurant industry I have came across in a while. This makes me so happy and just melted my heart. The way they all were so attentive to me and my guest. I honestly can say they made us feel so comfortable, and like we had been there before. Being that this is why I continue to come to these establishments. Everything is consistent. It doesn't matter if I am in Vegas, California, or Arizona it's become my spot. Now, I wish there were just more available to us in due time. Now to get to the food. Poke Nachos 10/10 Crispy Brussel Sprouts 10/10 The 2 Specialty Cocktails my friend had, she loved both of them equally!! I'll update these later. Geri, Jacob, and Brooke you were AMAZING! Service was outstanding! Honestly I can't rave enough about the hospitality going on up here! I can't wait to come back to visit. Thank you all for making me feel right at home on my first visit!!!
