    Classic Sliders

    LOVE the happy hour! It's such a great deal and everything is fairly priced. I usually go for their Buffalo ranch pizza. Garlic chili wings, and cheese curds. Everything is big enough to share as well. The service is always fast. You can order all apps on the kiosk and get the sent over. They have plenty of seating for big and small groups.

    Four Cheese Spinach Dip

    Decided to come here because we had horrible service at BJ's so we came here to get a late night bite. We were seated right away and the place was packed because everybody was watching FIFA. We got a booth right across from the bar and it was nice because it was so lively and entertaining. They also had really good music playing in the background which added to the vibe. Our server was very nice. She came and took our order and also answered any questions that we had about any food items. We ordered spinach dip for the table, and it comes with these really hot and warm tortilla chips. We enjoyed that. We ordered a sandwich, a Caesar salad with avocado added, and fish and chips. Everything was delicious. For drinks: Booze Free Mojito, Another mocktail with pineapple, and a sprite. Everything was well prepared and delicious. We really enjoyed our dining here. The only thing I have to say is that I wish they would clean the booths underneath a little bit more. The whole time I dined I felt just dirt and debris under my feet under the booth, but otherwise everything was great.

    Great HappyHour! Stopped in before a movie for a quick bite and it was well worth it! No wait for a table (5pm) and the service was fast! Food came super fast, we had to wait longer to get our beer. Happy hour selection was pretty good with 1/2 off select apps and pizzas. Will sure be coming back!

    Whoever is hiring and/or training the waitstaff at this Yard House is doing a great job. From the hostess who greeted us with a smile despite the all day World Cup fans line and sat us at a lovely booth to the two waiters who both provided very pleasant and prompt service throughout, the service here was well above bar compared to other SD spots in this category. Half price HH food deals and $2 off all draft beers was the lure for us, and the two Belgian taps that I tried really delivered. Unfortunately, the food was a let down. The onion ring tower was composed of sad, soft and underseasoned specimens. I appreciated that the HH tenders could be ordered as a Gardein veg version, which was decent but the accompanying fries tasted like they'd been sitting out too long. However, I did really enjoy the honey mustard sauce here. I sum, while the food was either just ok or total miss here, the excellent service and solid beers make Yard House - Mission Valley mall worth a repeat HH visit.

    I love coming here. The beer selection is huge and I always go for dragons milk! The service is top notch, our server was really nice. I love the ambiance in here, any occasion the setting inside always fits the unique vibe for anything. I recommend the grilled brussel sprouts and poke nachos!

    Came here for the 3-6pm happy hour. The place was packed even on a weekday due to the FIFA season. The service is friendly and attentive. Beer selection is great. The onion ring and chicken tender are not made to order, both of them are cold and kinda greasy when served to us.

    Cheeseburger Sliders

    Happy hour 10/10. They have a great selection of apps at 50% off. Food tastes great, service is quick despite the crowds. Great place to grab lunch, dinner or watch a sports game with a great atmosphere.

    I went in on a busy Saturday afternoon and sat at the bar. Staff were really friendly. I ordered the queso appetizer and half of a barbecue chicken salad. The food came out quickly. The queso was fine, but had a very weird mouth feel. Like it didn't feel like cheese. It comes with tortillas and tortilla chips. I did not eat very much of it. The barbecue chicken salad was fine. A little too many beans for me which I was not expecting. But it's a fun place to go with a big menu. Tons of beer to choose from.

    Fried Calamari
    Vivian

    I genuinely don't know how it took me this long to try Yard House happy hour because this might be one of the best happy hour deals I've found in San Diego. This review is actually from two separate visits because after the first one I already knew I needed to come back. The Mission Valley location is huge with booths, bar seating, high tops, and plenty of room for bigger groups. I went once around 3:30 PM and once around 5 PM. If you're trying to avoid a wait, definitely go earlier. At 3:30 there were plenty of open tables. At 5 PM the place was packed with people getting off work and we had to hop on a waitlist. We were quoted 20 minutes but got seated much quicker than that. The biggest thing you need to know is that the happy hour food is 50% off. Most dishes end up being around $5 to $10 which is honestly kind of crazy considering the portion sizes. To start, I ordered the Paloma and this thing was good. It had tequila, grapefruit, citrus agave, and a salted rim. Super refreshing and balanced. Not too sweet and definitely a generous pour. Later on I got an espresso martini which was also really solid. Smooth, strong enough to give you that little coffee kick, and honestly a perfect after dinner cocktail. Now for the food. The chicken lettuce wraps were easily one of my favorite things I tried. The chicken had a great ginger-forward marinade and a nice charred flavor. It comes with both peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce and both were delicious. The crazy part was the portion size. We filled every lettuce cup and still had chicken left over. This is a must-order. The sliders were good too. Nothing life changing but exactly what you'd want from a slider. Juicy burger, cheese, pickles, fries on the side. My partner loved these way more than I did because he's a burger person. The calamari though? Skip it. There was way too much breading and not enough calamari. The pieces were small, kind of rubbery, and the breading didn't have much seasoning. It came with a jalapeño tartar sauce and a spicy tomato sauce. The jalapeño sauce was actually pretty good but it wasn't enough to save the dish. We barely touched it and left most of it behind. The poke nachos were another favorite and I've ordered them both visits. They're not going to compete with a dedicated poke spot but for happy hour they're really good. The sweet soy ginger sauce is what makes the whole dish for me. My second visit actually had way more ahi and avocado too which made it even better. The only thing I'd probably change next time is getting the truffle sauce on the side because it kind of takes over the whole dish. I also got the crème brûlée cheesecake because that name sounds amazing. Unfortunately it was just okay. It wasn't bad. It just wasn't memorable. It tasted like regular cheesecake with a crème brûlée top. The berries on the side helped but I wouldn't order it again. During my second visit we tried the Korean garlic boneless wings, Wisconsin cheese curds, and crispy Brussels sprouts. The wings were fine. The sauce just didn't have enough flavor to make them stand out. I did love the generous amount of green onions on them. The cheese curds, however, were delicious. Ridiculously cheesy inside, but i wish they were crispier on the outside. The hot honey sauce paired really well with them. Also the portion is massive, so definitely order these with people. The absolute star of the entire review is the Brussels sprouts. Whatever sauce they use on these should be bottled and sold. They're sweet, garlicky, salty, tangy, and completely addictive. I kept reaching for them over everything else on the table. These will be ordered every single time I come back. Yard House is absolutely worth checking out for happy hour. The service has been great both visits, the portions are huge, and the prices are hard to beat.

    We went to the yard house before going to the amc movie theater next door. It was happy hour. We've been here several times and never had bad food. This time we ordered the sliders and pizza which were both half price. My husband got the yard cider and I got a white wine. Our waiter had to be one of the best we ever had. Wonderful experience!

    Haven't been here in a long while but they do have good happy hour deals which is exactly what I went for. Service is a hit or miss depending on how busy they are. For being happy hour food and pricing, the food is worth it. We got fried calamari, the tuna poke nachos are always a must, and the truffle pizza.

    Linda L.

    They have a nice happy hour menu! Came in for dinner with a couple of my work gals. The inside is spacious & we were seated at a big booth in the back. Will definitely be back for happy hour as everything was good. They were also very attentive with refilling our water cups which is nice not having to ask for more water.

    Ashley M.

    Added to list of favorite spots to go to, for a drink and appetizer with friends. Okay service, always straight to the point and fast paced. Great selection of drinks. Every visit I have had, drinks are always good, tasty, consistent. For food, brussel sprouts and nachos are my absolute go tos here!

It's a casual spot, but the food leans more chef-driven and thoughtful. We started with the breadsticks and truffle butter simple, but really well done. The crispy portobello mushrooms were one of my favorites, super flavorful with a great texture. For drinks, I had a margarita and a bloody mary, both solid. For mains, we ordered the tri-tip sandwich (aka "Cardiff Crack") and the chicken sandwich. The tritip especially lives up to the hype really tender, packed with flavor, and easy to see why it has that nickname. Dessert is what stood out so much . The butter cake comes warm with ice cream and purée, and it was easily the highlight of the meal. I took a bite and just paused for a second it's that kind of dessert Overall, a really good spot if you want elevated comfort food in a laid back setting.

But the atmosphere is lively, they're dog‑friendly, and the patio area is a nice place to sit if you want something casual and comfortable.

I learned that over 750+ book entries were received! Wow! At my table, I ended up meeting a librarian, a teacher and a publisher. The librarian was part of the selection committee and she suggested so many good books! She mentioned a book about octopus conversation in the atolls and my ears perked up. The book is Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler and its on my shortlist to read soon! Waiting for it on Libby! OK. back to the venue.

But, thankfully the other bartender that seemed to navigate the entire bar area, took or food & drink menu. Plenty of TV screens w/ all sorts of sports going on.
