Best Brussel Sprouts EVER!!!! Love the food and atmosphere! People are so sweet kind and attentive!

I love it here! Yummmmmy! My husband and I usually come to this restaurant after we watch the afternoon football games on Sunday. Most recently we were there for week two of football season. We sat at the bar which we usually sit at the bar and the service is usually great there I don't know that the people know us by names but definitely by faces. The service at the bar is pretty decent as far as timing. The drinks are and we definitely enjoy the food so I would say on a given month we dine here at least twice a month. They do offer a happy hour as well during the week not sure if it's available on the weekend. The restaurant is connected to the Rivers Casino you don't necessarily have to go in the casino to get to the restaurant the restaurant has its separate entrance as well. You you can dine at the bar, booth seating, table seating as well and kind of like a covered enclosure patio with seating too. Definitely give them a try if you are into the bar scene/ Sports Bar atmosphere. Have fun and enjoy life. :) read more

Tonight we ordered the fish and chips for our entree. The fish was greasy and without flavor. The batter was squishy instead of crunchy. EEK! Interestingly, the coleslaw was excellent served with the fish was fresh and tasted great. We also had chicken nachos as an appetizer. The chicken nachos were delicious, full of meat and the presentation was wonderful. So good. We were seated quickly, the service was great, and the food came out at a good pace. We ordered a double decker turkey sandwiches to replace the fish and it was very good. read more

I met with a group of friends here before seeing a band perform inside the casino. It was very crowded, so it took longer than they predicted to be seated, and although the staff were working hard, it also took long for our food to come out. So, keep that in mind if you have plans after dining. We all enjoyed the Brussels Sprout appetizer- yummy! My cheese burger sliders were ok, maybe a little overdone, but those and the fries hit the spot. In the area? Check Them Out! read more

Yard House - Cheeseburger Sliders - New American Near Me - Portsmouth, Virginia

We chose Yard House at Rivers Casino to celebrate my husband's birthday, and it reminded us why it's one of our favorite places to eat. Even though it was busy, we were seated quickly and made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was excellent as always. One thing we love about Yard House is that we can always count on a great meal and outstanding service no matter how crowded it is. The staff was attentive, friendly, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Of course, no trip is complete without their smoked Old Fashions! read more

Nice restaurant, friendly staff. The check-in was kind of chaotic but they were extremely busy so it's understandable. I ordered the chicken alfredo and although the flavor was good, the noodles were clumped together and hard. Hubby had salmon and vegetables and really enjoyed it. read more

Yard House became a regular stop for me and my husband, so I've tried a lot of their menu. We've gone at various times of day and always had good service and food. I also appreciate the lighting (in contrast to the casino floor) and the music is usually something I can sing along to. I've also had a few selections from the drink menu, and those haven't disappointed either. As long as this standard continues to be met, I'm sure will visit for lunch dates or on nights we don't want to cook. read more

My Bestie and I decided to eat here after bevinjbg hungry while at Rivers. This was the only spot that was t crowded. I have been to a Yard House before, but it has been some years. This visit did not do it for me. Our Food Concierge, Rudy, was attentive and friendly. I ordered the calamari and it was good. The honey mustard sauce seemed sweeter than I prefer. I am grateful that I hit the Firecracker shrimp naked because the sauce was .... Interesting. I definitely preferred to dip the shrimp. The rice cake.... Didn't like it at all. The presentation was nice. My wine was good and the fries were decent. I believe the portions were worth the money, but not the flavors. I will say that it did not seem very busy, yet, it took a while to get our food and drinks. Also, we noticed tables that were seated after us, receive their orders before us. We do not blame Rudy as he continually checked on us. read more

Let me start off by saying Kemi was the best server! She was attentive and friendly. This was my first time at this location adjacent to Rivers. The atmosphere was okay. It was a little congested with the tables being in close proximity of one another. The chicken nachos were good. The whiskey salmon was flavorful but the vegetables were hard, I couldn't cut through them. I brought it to the attention of the manager and he was not friendly or accommodating he said he would let the chef know inside of replacing them. read more

We love coming here when we're in town because we don't have one locally. Everything is always great! The service is always fast. Our food was delicious.

Yard House - The Carnivore Pizza - New American Near Me - Portsmouth, Virginia

This restaurant has so much potential and honestly they just haven't made the cut in my eyes. The establishment as a whole is aesthetically pleasing and extremely spacious. Now, let's talk food! EVERYTHING WE ORDERED WAS TASTELESS!!!! We started with the firecracker shrimp. The presentation was beyond beautiful. The server brought it to the table and the shrimp were stacked nicely on top of a fried potato cake and it was garnished with some type of red stringy plant. The shrimp barely had any sauce on it. Next, I ordered the pepperoni pizza with a side of wings. I asked for two flavors which were lemon pepper and Korean spicy garlic. The Korean chicken came coated with sauce, green onions and maybe some french onion pieces. It was just spicy honestly. Not seasoned thoroughly. The lemon pepper chicken wasn't seasoned either and barely had sauce once again. The pepperoni pizza wasn't anything to call home about. We ordered the grilled chicken with fries for my toddler. Let's just say it was the last dish to hit the table. Kids meal should be served first. So, the grilled chicken wasn't charred in several ways to the point we really had to take our time and cut it up to the point where our child could eat it. My guy ordered steak(well done), but the waitress insisted that he order it medium well; being that they chargrill it and she didn't want it to be served hard. He picked broccolini, mashed potatoes, and asparagus as his sides. Well, the steak was very tender so thank you to the waitress for that, but overall the experience with our foods weren't it. I was totally disappointed. Beautiful establishment that really needs better cooks or chefs. read more

No way, it's actually good So it's the standard YH. They look and feel the same. Big floor space with a bar that seems to have endless beer. The seats and booths are spacious and the menu is the size of a standard phone book. Do Gen Z people know what a phone book is? Anyway these guys are located inside Rivers casino. There's two public doors but only one entrance and the other exit/entrance. I got two dishes. The poke nachos and this shittake garlic mushroom pasta (recommend by my server) The poke was good and I'm comparing this to home. The chips were crispy and held the poke nicely. Good flavoring and generous amount of fish. The pasta was just a surprise. It was really good. At first I was hesitant because there was no protein but it doesn't need it. Very good blend of flavors and my only regret was I didn't an another plate. Overall five stars. Pricing is reasonable and everything I got was good. M read more

I went here last night for a work event and the staff seemed a little overwhelmed by the size of our party. Also, the food came out slow because half of the order did not get put in due to an error but we were able to make the best of it. I don't believe they have the capacity to handle large groups but the food is bomb. We had pizza, sliders, nachos, chicken lettuce wraps and chicken tenders. The pizza was my favorite of the night. It had pepperoni, sausage and bacon, It was bomb! And the chicken wraps came with a sweet chilli and a peanut sauce. Oh and I can't forget about the Brussels sprouts, those were some of the best ones I've ever had. I would say if you decide to come here plan accordingly with the staff to ensure they have the capacity, but all in all I had a wonderful time and for only half of the food be put in it came out at pretty quickly. read more

First visit to Rivers Casino first visit to Yard House!! Great place! Went with a group of 6 people we were seated quickly. The restaurant is very large with plenty of seating for small or large groups. They have a big bar with lots of tvs great for the sports enthusiasts. We ordered various items from the happy hour menu! Everyone for the most part enjoyed their food the portion size was good. The only issues were the service was a little slow and our silverware wrapped in cloth napkins were damp / wet. This is a great happy hour location I would recommend. I also would visit again. read more

This was my first time trying this location out and I loved it! Compared to the Town Center Location (both are great) however this one isnt as loud and dark and crowded. It has great lighting, more space and the music isnt too loud where you cant have a conversation without having to yell. I came in during happy hour (3pm-6pm) and service was really great. When my server was busy helping another table other servers jumped in to assist as well. I love how all of the servers were helping each other. The happy hour specials are half apps and drink deals ($2 -$3 off depending on drink and oz). My food came out really fast and it wad hot and fresh. I think this will be my new happy hour spot after work! read more

Yard House - Sweet potato fries, orange chicken, and Pina spritz. - New American Near Me - Portsmouth, Virginia

Last night i went to this yard house for the first time. It is connected to the new casino, so please be prepared for crowds in and outside. The parking lot is huge, so be prepared for a walk if you don't get a close spot. It is very nice, and similar to the other yard houses. I am glad this is the second one in the area. The service was okay. It was a lot of people of course and probably not as much staff. The orange chicken was so good! It was the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. I have gotten the jambalaya at other yard houses and that is really good as well. I'm sure i will be back! read more

Located in the same complex as the Casino, The Year House was an surprise in terms of food quality, service and overall experience. Parking is available in the reserved parking space curbside or in the huge parking lot. Interior is industrial/modern with exposed mechanical and electrical in the exposed ceiling along with garage doors (that I assume they open to form a patio), however the interior colors are warm plus the really cool view into the Casino so I'd say this is a unique space. "Liz" took more than good care of us with our ordering and selection of adult beverages. My cheeseburger was good and substantial (not those "thin" burgers you see at many places) with fries and a very respectable pickle and a fair price. Overall experience was so good, looking forward to going back and I can't ay that about many place these day. read more

Glad they have open a yard house in Portsmouth good edition for the city's growth. We went here after Thanksgiving on a Friday for a birthday party. The parking lot was packed to compacity. Are server had everything set up and decor ready to go when we arrived. Their menu is always is very welcoming for every palette and desire. The happy hour menu is a great option for those who want to try a little bit of everything or share appetizers. Had the flavor sweet tea dried peach and strawberry both were amazingly great and I am a picky tea drinker the wings are fried to perfection but the good crispy batter and the sauces are also not too heavy and drowns out the crunch of the wing. Our server was fantastic I cannot remember her name but she was very patient and very accommodating. We were a group and therefore already had gratuity added to the check but we gave her additional as she went above and beyond and dealt with the size of our party very well. read more

I typically avoid chain restaurants, but Yard House is very close to my house and has unbeatable happy hour prices. The chicken nachos are HUGE and half price during happy hour. I also really enjoy the tuna poke nachos and boneless wings (all on the happy hour menu). They have a vast selection of beers on tap. The music is always good. Service is usually on point. It's hard to beat for being less than 3 mins from home! read more

Went to this location because it was closer to my house. When we walked in it was a distinct smell as if the mop water or mop needed to be cleaned or the towels were old and dirty. Nevertheless, the longer you sat you didn't smell the odor. The waiter was great patient and polite. Great smile. I ordered a house salad and Korean cheesesteak. It was delicious just like he suggested. My friend had the classic burger and she enjoyed her meal as well. The best part was an older gentleman paid for our meal and tip. It was our first time here and a great call around. The waiter even gave us some better looking pickles. read more

I went there for my family members birthday celebration and I ordered a Turkey BLT sandwich. My bacon was hard on my sandwich when I tried to eat it, so I decided to only eat one half-thank God it was cut into 4 sections because the next day I looked at my leftover sandwich, the bacon was raw, The bacon wasn't cooked all the way through. I was so grossed out I threw the rest out. They need to make sure people food is done. The waiter and waitresses were great. The only issue was the food. read more

Very underwhelmed by the whole experience. Everyone brags about the happy hour which is a great deal but the chicken fingers very much so lacked flavor!!!

I may give it another try, but it will not be any time soon read more

Where so I start. The restaurant was not able to reserve a table for 20 guests without me arriving 2 hrs early at 4 pm for dinner at 6 pm. This was really fine. I did arrive at 4, I was greeted by the same young lady I spoke to 2 weeks earlier. The Mgr. then took my reservation for 6 pm. My cell was taken. ,my sister was in town for hubby's celebration, so we exited to the casino foe the duration of our wait. We, of course, enjoyed the energy of the loud, smokey casino. Rivers Casino is NOTHING like Las Vegas. The smoke at times was just overwhelming to me in some areas. We played a variety of games, then retreated to the Sound Bar for an afternoon drink and observed the sights of people playing tables, slots, and whatever else they offer. At 5:45, I exited and returned to the YARD HOUSE to let them know I was still there. Immediately, the table was ready. I'm super excited since things just worked out. I was allowed to set up some small table decor and cake. Our Hostess Kya was super sweet, professional, and calm. The 5 stars are only for this bomb, young lady!!! I know my people, and we dine out frequently, from place to place, state to state, along with fraternal organizations we all are members of. We vacation together, private chef events, beachhouse yearly the whole shebang. I asked for just waters for everyone as I set the table and awaited guests. There was a huge fire and accident close to the casino exit, which held up most guest as they were diverted from the closed exit. Now about 6:45 people started to tricky in. With most of us there, Kya took our drink orders. Followed by appetizers' orders. This is where things started to break down. Nothing ,absolutely NOTHING came our consistent. The restaurant was absolutely packed, Kya did her best to communicate with us and serve what was available to her to serve our table. Entree orders were taken, and nothing happened for at least 40 minutes. We enjoyed drinks and shared apps that were served to us. My daughter and SIL entree arrived as their entree was the first to come out. The wait was excruciating for any entrées after that. About 1 hour passed, and the entrées started coming out in the order they were taken. So. 1ST Glazed salmon burnt Brocollni with dry hard salmon. Simple hamburger,over cooked. Grilled chicken, my husbands rubeye was perfectly cooked and seasoned well..he enjoyed my steak bowl was like left over steak tossed on top of quinoa. I believe great flavor with a variety of greens. My friend next to me ordered Salmon. way under cooked. Every other meal was hit or miss.. By this time we just wanted to go on with the plans for the rest of the evening. With complete understanding of the size of our party 16 people. 1 couple went to the VA BEACH location, late and gave up. While another couple just couldn't make it last minute. We all enjoyed our spending time chattering without a schedule of events. Enjoyed most of the appetizers and great Rib eyes that came out. The kitchen staff need help. The bar could use help. I saw so many staff walking around and wondered what part they played at the YARD HOUSE. So again the 5 starts are for the flavorful meals we enjoyed, and Kya attentiveness to our party. Will I try them again, sure they are not a throw away restaurant. Just not on a Saturday night with a group. Thanks all read more

This is not a 5 Star establishment, but they sure act like it. The food is great, the beverage choices are awesome, and the service is phenomenal. Yard House is separate from the casino, but must have some relationship to draw customers in since the value is as good or greater than any other restaurant in the Chesapeake Portsmouth area. My wife and I have visited at least five times since they opened and have not had one single bad experience. If I had to pick the thing they do best, it would be their wait staff service. They really act like they want to be there and truly care about each table. If you're anything like us, you've really seen the food service industry decline over the last few years. Not so at Yard House. They are setting the bar and we personally appreciate it. read more

Been here a few times since opening. At first I honestly hated it strictly because of the wait. However, I quickly learned I did it wrong. You REALLY have to use the online wait platform. It's quite seamless. Our last visit we timed it so well, we only waited 2 minutes. From here our last visit was awesome. Our server, she was super friendly, attentive, and punctual. However, our last visit, the server was friendly... but lacked any attention to helping us. It was bad. I couldn't even justify giving him my usual 20% tip. The way things have been divided is that the server usually brings water, tends to a few minor things, then that's really it. Heck last couple times we ordered, the server placed the order on the tablet that sits on the tablet. Regarding the food - I gotta give they credit - they're quite consistent. I do like that taste of their food and it's a win in that area. My only gripe is dang they expensive. For a nice dinner (drinks, etc.) for two, you can easily break beyond $100 if you go big. I'm sure we'll be back... but still... just take cost into consideration. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 4 or 5 Value of food to cost: 4 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Open location that is like a modern beer hall with some tv's etc. placed around. It fits some of the casino vibe. Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: no read more
