    Spinach dip. I liked the seasoning on the chips.
    Tracy A.

    We came here late on a Saturday around 10 pm. The place was packed and there was a short wait. The service was good and attentive. We never went without our needs being addressed quickly. I had a flavored lemon drop for my cocktail and it was good. The spinach dip appetizer was also good. We both had salmon for our main dish. The portion was nice and it was cooked well but lacked flavor. Without the glaze on the side, it wouldn't have been enjoyable. I had loaded mashed potatoes as my side. Also just ok. The place is big and loud. Even if a game had been on, it would have been difficult to see and enjoy. I would have expected more tvs for a place that's a sports bar. Overall, this isn't a place I seek out. I come here mainly because you can get a hot sit down meal late at night.

    I've been on a Brussels sprouts binge lately and let me tell you, these Yard House Brussels are Elite. Crispy, Smokey, sweet and medium spicy. I would absolutely recommend if you are a fan of some heat! The calamari was well seasoned, you can tell they seasoned the batter. I also had a lychee martini, it was strong and sweet. Bartenders were all attentive which I love! And the ambience is always laid back, not stuffy at all, plenty of TVs so great for a sports day/night.

    Fish tacos
    Allan A.

    Lunched with 9 other folks. Meals were either average or excellent so I would like to make this a 3.5 star reviews based on food. Service was average but payment was not so good. We had uploaded pass around one tabletop device to split the check and it took 15 minutes. Also ao loud you coukd hear the conversations. So 3 stars it is. I liked my turkey club with sweet potato fries. Fries were cold as the food likely waited on all of the groups dishes.

    Brussel sprouts and House Salad
    Tieshia P.

    I came to Raleigh for a work trip. We found this cute little area with several options to eat. The menu at Yard House looked appealing and I have not been here before. When ordering our food, we asked the waiter to bring our salads first and then the other dishes later. This didn't happen. All the food except the spicy tuna stack was delivered at the same time. The brussel sprouts were good. The spicy tuna stack was ok. It was very fresh but missing something. The house salads were fresh and our favorite dish. My colleague ordered the chicken nachos. She said they would have been better had they come out after the salad. By the time she was done with her salad they were cold. Other than this, the service was good. I would recommend visiting here at least once. The menu has something for everyone. and the lemonades are great.

    Ahi Sashimi
    danelle b.

    Came here to watch women's ncaa basketball tournament and I didn't know they had a Happy Hour. We sat at the bar which I'm not usually a fan of, because I feel you get lost with all the task they have. Full disclosure I had gone a couple of weeks before with my mom and the wait was an hour plus but I saw some seats at the bar and we grabbed them. I was not happy with the service we received, but today was a different story. It could've been the time we were there, but I didn't want Jenna to wait on me. I can't say who helped us, especially since the receipt had Kay and Savannah but we had a gentleman. We started off with a flight of beers and we chose our next drink based on what we liked and ended up with Give 'em Helles. For the food, we tried several items, which for happy hour was half priced. The pizza was good, the tuna sashimi was great and the Brussels sprouts were good, but I felt they weren't as crispy as they were supposed to be and I blame that on the sauce they put on the top. They have outdoor seating and plenty of tvs to watch the games, it's a very loud place due to this while they also play good tunes. I would definitely recommend checking out the place.

    Onion Ring Tower
    Devon G.

    The service was great! Malik deserves a raise! Just very attentive and respectful! There was a good variety of games on the TVs as well so the vibe was good as well. Onion rings are just as good as last time! I decided to try something else on the menu so I went with the cheesesteak and I will say I was a bit disappointed. I know it's not fair to compare this to other authentic cheesesteaks but I hate when the Cheesesteaks don't mix their cheese with the meat and they just throw 2 slices of cheese on top. It's a pet peeve of mine because it makes the sandwich dry almost, and even with the garlic aioli it still was dry. I will go again for sure and try more things on the menu next up is the burger!

    I'm typically disappointed with restaurant food and rightfully so?!? I usually relegate restaurants to the weekends, meltdown days, or social events. Either myself or a family member cooks during the week. After having a near meltdown, I settled on Yard House. I've eaten here 8++ years ago and wasn't necessarily impressed. This particular Friday must have been graduation celebration day, as it was pretty packed with large groups for a 3pm Friday dining time. I'm dubbing this best restaurant meal of the week, maybe month! Weekday between 3-5 selected apps are 50% off. Late lunch partner opted for calamari and Brussels sprouts appetizers. I opted for the Asian inspired pork chop with cauliflower, quinoa, veggie medley. The apps were solid. Calamari light flour dredge, not too chewy, faint "fishy" smell. Brussel sprouts coated in Korean inspired savory & sweet glaze (slight bitter taste). Both appetizers accompanied by a dipping sauce(s). Generous portions. I opted for a bone in Asian inspired pork chop. Meat moist and not too salty with a good sear. I was concerned about cauliflower rice, not to fear. Minimal cauliflower rice and the soy based sauce gave the veggie medley plenty of flavor. Finally, there was a sweet and sour dipping sauce that balanced the meal well. Service was fine. If I had to guess they were short staffed on our visit. Our server checked on us several times, but we did have to request drink refills. Atmosphere is dark and could possibly be loud. We had no problem hearing each other. Good for groups with a reservation, solos, friends, girl nights, etc. Menu is expansive and price point large enough that MOST people should find something they like. I found it easier to navigate the online menu vs in person menu. Maybe all the stars aligned and this was a very, very good one off. Looking forward to trying again! Chain restaurant: 4.6

    Back outside patio
    Brittany S.

    The food was beyond amazing and the presentation of food was the best I have ever seen so far. Our server Andrew was beyond phenomenal! If I could clone him I would. He define customer service beyond the definition! The ambiance of the restaurant would approve any sports fan out there. The setting was nice and the restaurant was very spacious! The bar was really big as well. The developer who made this business did an amazing job from beginning to end. This is definitely on my favorite list.

    Brussel sprouts and firecracker shrimp appetizers
    Camille H.

    Super fast bar service. Great food and overall experience. Lively atmosphere! Plenty of TVs and nice patio seating.

    truly enjoyed my service there my server jazz was amazing. They brought out this cake for my mom and she recommended the best dishes.
    Abigail A.

    The service was amazing. Our server jazz recommended the best dishes and they brought out a cake for my mom's birthday would definitely go back.

    Korean ribeye
    Daphne R.

    I've been here 3 times and the food is never to disappoint. Personally, a go to dish is the Korean ribeye. It's a bit pricey but it puts fusion into a classy dish and creates a palate of umami and savory flavors. The staff here are quick with orders and are accommodating to any requests or changes to orders. This place has a sporty but classy vibe. There's a big variety of drinks and beers on the menu. Would come here again to celebrate a birthday or watch the game with some buds.

    Jonathan P.

    Had dinner at Yard House last night with my family and had a great time overall. I would say the service was a bit slow in the beginning but it got better once our server took our orders. We shared the chicken nachos appetizer which was amazing! I had the truffle burger which was outstanding I did enjoy it! I would definitely come back to Yard House.

    Aurora H.

    Went here for a graduation celebration on a Wednesday night and it was a super cool vibe. We had a reservation because we had a big party with the drinks and food came out fairly quickly. I had a lobster pasta and my other half had the pasta with shrimp reminded me of an Asian dish he said it was very good. We also had the Brussel sprouts as the appetizer and they were amazing!

The cornbread was so moist and the crabcakes were flavorful. The grilled romaine was a revelation - I loved whatever creamy sauce it came with, the candied nuts, and the smokiness of the romaine. The BBQ "pork" was probably my least favorite thing, but don't get me wrong, it was still tasty. We asked for a little more BBQ sauce to go with it and our waitress got it for us right away.

    "Nepalese and Indian food in downtown Raleigh, near Marriott"…read more With a great location, this is VERY close to the Raleigh Convention Center. We arrived on a Thursday night at 6pm with a group of 5. The dining area didn't really accommodate a group that size, but they made it work by moving tables around, which was nice. The place was not very large, but there was maybe only one other family eating inside. The bathroom was clean. I split two dishes with my son-- salmon tikka masala and shrimp (prawn) saag, both coming with rice. We were given some papadum, I think, as a snack as we waited on the food, along with some spicy dips. Food came in maybe 10 minutes or so, which was great timing. However, I have to say, both dishes we tried were underwhelming. The shrimp was oddly translucent and not very flavorful in its dish, and the spinach in the saag wasn't especially tasty (though it did have a nice spiciness). The tikka masala sauce was great, but the salmon also was pretty underwhelming. We both said we'd probably just get chicken next time and not splurge the extra for the salmon. No dish was "bad", but just we expected them to be delicious and they were just OK. I'm just really surprised given how many people said this was the "best Indian" they'd had. The staff were friendly-- refilled drinks well and were good at answering questions. And the price was reasonable. Altogether, I'll give it 4 stars given the great location, good service, good price, but not 5 given the food was "just OK". Realistically, I probably wouldn't go back-- we have lots of great Indian in Durham and Chapel Hill, so I'd rather wait and get that.

    After many visits, last one being 04/29/2026…read more Welcome to Element Gastropub, a wildly overgrown, unapologetically plant-based oasis hidden right in the brick-and-mortar heart of downtown Raleigh. If you've been looking for a place where the decor matches the menu calorie-for-calorie in pure, unadulterated green, you've just found your mother-nature-loving mothership. Element has one major, glaring ecosystem issue: the service operates on a timeline that makes a slow-growing redwood tree look impatient. I have given this place a fair shake several times, occupied various green velvet booths, dodged low-hanging pothos vines, and worked my way through a good chunk of the menu. Take the Chili, for instance--it's actually quite good. The re-occurring theme here is a pacing problem that turns a casual downtown dinner into an endurance test. It starts at the bar. You order 2 drinks and you watch the bartender meticulously attend to the bar with no urgency whatsoever. And the food service? It's a test of human patience. The gap between your drink order and any food order stretches so long you begin to wonder if they are currently outside harvesting the beans by hand in Moore Square. On more than one occasion, the wait has transcended "slow" and entered the realm of "disrespectful." When you plan for a multi-stop crawl night, one painfully slow venue completely hijacks the timeline and leaves the rest of the night dead in the water. Cheers!

Super cute, limited options but great for a last minute bouquet!
