    Three Taco Combo
    Val H.

    Tacos were amazing! Flavor and the portions were more than expected. Presentation was on point.

    Jumbo Bavarian Pretzel

    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.

    Poke Nachos

    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
    Karen W.

    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.

    Poke Nachos

    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!

    Shiitake Garlic Noodles and Truffle Mushroom Pizza
    Laura M.

    We go to Yard House a lot because the menu has something for everyone. We usually eat there before we go to the movies at AMC since it's so close. Our favorites are the Poke Nachos, Shiitake Garlic Noodles, Parmesan Truffle Fries, Turkey Club, Truffle Mushroom Pizza, and the Ahi Tuna Crunchy Salad. All of these are so good!! You can order the Ahi Salad in a lunch portion or dinner size. The lunch size to me is large enough to be a dinner size. They have a good Kids menu, my kids like the Cheeseburger Sliders, Pizza, and Mac and Cheese. They also have the tablets on the table the kids can use to play games, which is great and keeps them entertained. Yard House has a bunch of gluten free options on the menu. They also have a good happy hour from 3-6, half off certain appetizers, half off pizzas, and drink specials. I enjoy sitting on their patio better than inside. The inside for me is very dark and sometimes the hoppy smell from the kegs is very strong. Service is usually good and they have always been accommodating to reservations of larger groups.

    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)

    After movie snack
    Steve M.

    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.

    Fried Calamari
    Christine D.

    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.

    Cider seasonal
    Allison J.

    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

    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.

Chunks of beet on short skewers and wrapped with a large basal leaf. The beef itself was exceptionally good. For an entree, I went with the New York strip with a side of asparagus and off the cobb corn elote. The strip was slightly overcooked, I ordered medium and it came well done. Bummer! Asparagus was very grilled and tender. We wrapped up the meal with two pieces of Flan topped with coconut. Delightful ! Restaurant is a little unusual with respect to layout but very functional.

Many…read morepeople have advised me to stay away, claiming the place is overhyped and that there are better options available. However, every time we visited in the past, we had a great experience--until this last visit. We made a reservation for 7:45 PM but didn't get seated until 8:30 PM. While this isn't terrible, it can be challenging when you have a little one with you, but it's to be expected as a parent. Once we were at our table, we ordered drinks and food for the kids. My wife ordered a cocktail, and I opted for an Old Fashioned. The kids ordered pasta and a cheese pizza. This is when things started to go downhill. The pasta was okay, but the pizza had a few hairs on it--more than one, in fact. This made us uncomfortable, so we informed the waiter, and they addressed the issue promptly. As we waited for the new pizza, our drinks arrived, and they were nicely presented. However, while sipping my Old Fashioned, I noticed something unusual in my drink--Tajin. Curious, I asked the waiter if this was a special variation of the Old Fashioned. She replied no, so I pointed out the issue in my glass, and she confirmed she saw the Tajin as well. I felt she was treating it as if it was acceptable, which it clearly wasn't, so I looked at her, signaling that I would like a new drink. (I wish I had taken pictures.) Following that, our main dishes started to arrive. My wife ordered a wagyu steak, and I had the pork loin. Unfortunately, we began to analyze everything after the earlier mishaps, and the vibe of the experience was completely lost. To make matters worse, we were still charged for the pizza that had hair on it and the drink that had the issue. With all that being said, I've decided I will no longer be dining here.

We were seated in the back since we were a larger party, which was a little disappointing - the front area felt much more lively. We didn't realize we could request seating closer to the front, but to their credit, they did turn the music up a bit, which helped the atmosphere. The service was okay - not bad, but a little on the mediocre side. That said, the food definitely made up for it. The Wagyu steak was absolutely delicious, and the appetizers were solid as well. Even with a few small hiccups, it was still a great experience and a fun night out. We would definitely go back and would just ask to sit closer to the front next time.

We asked if the fireplace could be turned off, and were told it was "just the pilot light" and that the heat was from outside air coming through. That explanation didn't really make sense, especially if it's an electric fireplace, and it left us wondering why the flue was open in the first place. Our server initially seemed a little annoyed when we brought it up, though he became friendlier as the evening went on. As for the food and drinks: the Gold Margarita tasted a bit cheap for the price. Once it arrived in the taller glass, it was clear the ratio leaned heavily toward mixer and sweetness rather than tequila, gran marnier, and fresh lime juice. It definitely didn't taste like fresh lime as advertised. On the other hand, my husband's espresso martini was absolutely fantastic. The standout dish was the filet special - rubbed in mustard and marinated for over 24 hours. It was excellent. The mashed potatoes were packed with flavor, and the jambalaya rice was tasty as well, though slightly cold. Dessert was an apple pie with the crust wrapped entirely around it, which we enjoyed. Overall, the meal itself had several highlights, but it was disappointing to make a reservation and end up at a table next to what felt like the entrance to Satan's lair.
