    Server was attentive, professional, and checked on our table just right amount. The food was good and we all enjoyed our meals.

    Whiskey & Aged White Cheddar

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Blackened Ahi Sashimi

    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.

    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!

    A fun Mexican (green/white/red) pair of gorditas with a very small amount of beans and rice, mostly sauce. Was overpriced :(

    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)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Always love the yard house! My parents and I have found it consistently good, no matter what location or state it's in. I love all their gluten free options and I dream about the spinach artichoke dip. I'm so sad they got rid of the location at Scottsdale fashion square but this location is always a nice treat.

    Corporate won't allow for mobile certified IDs, in today's day and age... a digital world, where you accept Apple Pay..... perhaps you would be interested in considering real IDs moving forward. Very disappointing. Solid pretzel.

    Ask the Community - Yard House

    Do you have a quiet space that could work for a meeting?

    Hi. I don't personally think there's a quiet spot in the restaurant to have a meeting. It does depend on the time of day that you're there where the noise level can be nonexistent to very loud.

    Do they have a decent wine list?

    Yes

    Is the outdoor patio dog friendly?

    There 3 locations in the Phoenix area and I do not know if their policy is the same or if all of them have outside dining. You would have to call the location that you would like to visit and call for info.

    Are reservations a good idea?

    Evenings any night and weekends for lunch can be pretty busy so if you don't want to wait, yes.

    Very disappointing experience, especially for a birthday celebration…read more We had reservations to celebrate my son's birthday. When we first walked in, the restaurant was beautifully decorated and had a great vibe, so we were excited for the evening. Unfortunately, we were seated all the way in the back, in the room where they serve breakfast. There were no decorations, no atmosphere, and it was extremely quiet compared to the lively setting we had seen when we walked in. There was also another family in the room with a screaming infant. We have kids ourselves, so we completely understand that babies cry, but combined with the lack of atmosphere, it made the experience even less enjoyable. We politely asked if we could be moved to the main dining area, but they were unable to accommodate us. Since we were there specifically to celebrate a birthday and were looking for a fun, celebratory atmosphere, we decided to leave after having one appetizer and water. This simply was not the experience we were expecting when making a reservation for a birthday celebration. If we had known we would be seated in that back room with such a different atmosphere from the main restaurant, we would have made other plans. Thankfully, the evening was saved by Kembara across the way. My husband spoke with their manager while I closed out our bill, and despite us having no reservation, they went out of their way to accommodate us and make my son's birthday feel special. Their kindness and willingness to help truly turned the evening around.

    There is service, and then there is hospitality…read more Service is taking an order, delivering a drink, clearing a plate and doing everything expected of you. Hospitality is noticing. Last night at Humble Oysters & Bubbles was one of those rare reminders of what genuine hospitality actually looks like. Humble Bistro and Humble Oysters are close to our home, so we visit both fairly often. We decided on dinner last minute and originally walked into Humble Bistro because my wife loves their Caesar salad with the crispy Brussels sprouts. And admittedly, it really is that good. There was about an hour wait, so we walked next door to Humble Oysters instead. My wife ordered a salad there, but barely touched it. Chef Jorge, who I have seen countless times walking through the restaurants, talking with guests and checking on tables, noticed. That part matters. We didn't complain. We didn't ask for anything. He simply noticed. He came over and asked if everything was okay. We laughed and explained that she had really wanted the Caesar from next door, but we didn't want to wait an hour for a table. Five minutes later, Chef Jorge walked over to the bar carrying that Caesar salad from Humble Bistro. No request. No production. He just did it. And somehow, that wasn't even the first example of hospitality that evening. Earlier, I ordered a glass of wine they had unfortunately run out of. Instead of the bartender returning empty-handed and asking me to pick something else, she came over with another bottle and offered me a taste. I ultimately decided I wanted a cocktail instead. Her response? She poured me half a glass of the wine anyway and essentially said, "Sip on this while I make your cocktail." Such a small gesture. Yet somehow those are the ones you remember. Then, to finish the evening, owner Tim stopped by. What could have been the obligatory owner "How was everything?" turned into a genuine 15-minute conversation. And that's when everything made sense. Hospitality like this doesn't happen accidentally. When it radiates from the owner, to the chef, to the bartender, to the rest of the staff, you're seeing culture. Restaurants spend enormous amounts of time trying to teach hospitality. But the best hospitality rarely feels taught. It feels instinctive. It's noticing the untouched salad. It's bringing something from the restaurant next door without being asked. It's pouring someone a little wine while they wait for their cocktail. It's an owner taking 15 minutes to genuinely talk with the people sitting at his bar. Food gives you a reason to visit a restaurant. Hospitality gives you a reason to return. Last night reminded me just how powerful the difference can be.

It's their take on bruschetta, although I'd describe it more as a flatbread. It comes topped with honey smoked salmon, jalapeño cream cheese, red onion, crispy fried capote capers, chili oil, lemon, and parsley. The flavors were good, especially the honey smoked salmon, but unfortunately it had very little jalapeño cream cheese. Without it, the flatbread was a little dry. I also would have loved a little more chili oil and lemon. The cream cheese would have added the richness it needed. Thankfully, our other dishes were great. We ordered the Smorgasbord, which is consistently fabulous, and split the Humble Caesar, one of our all-time favorites. Those two dishes never disappoint. Humble Bistro continues to be one of favorites. If I order The Kosher again I would ask they make sure and add cream cheese.

The restaurant is small, and in a strip mall with a tiny sign that is easy to miss. It's nice inside, and I wasn't crowded but there aren't many tables. A bit expensive for the portion size, but it was fantastic and worth it. Highly recommend.
