Had a great time at Yard House! We tried the boneless wings with the Korean chili and whiskey pepper sauces (loved that you can pick two), and both were flavorful and well done. The lobster garlic noodles were also a hit--rich, satisfying, and perfect to share. Paired everything with a chilled beer and it honestly made for a perfect, relaxed brunch. The portion sizes are generous, service is great, and the overall vibe is lively but comfortable. Definitely a fantastic spot whether you're catching up with friends over drinks or having a casual meal with family. read more

Yard House - Lobster Garlic Noodles and Boneless Wings - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

The good: - was open until until midnight and that was the real and seems only reason we picked this pub. - safe and respectable place open past 9pm :) - nice pub interior, lots of space, good have private conversation easily - the waiter was good, attentive, nice. - the beer menu was long, but not sure if that really helps to have so many. I have had better experience with places with much shorter list, but better curated. The bad: - the beer recommendation were not to my linking. - the waiter was nice, but not an expert. Didn't know about the food, beers nor drinks deeply. Knew how to process order and communicate, knew how to be fast, but not a beer drinker that knows the stuff. - I asked the waiter about food and they didn't know anything about them. Was nice to go to kitchen to check and gave correct answer, but I would have expected the waiter to know. The ugly: - some other guy took the beer to the table, but spilled the beer on me and the table, said sorry, but didn't clean up. I asked from our waiter to clean up the spill, but got just paper napinks and clean up myself. - we ordered Old Fashion. The waiter didn't know how to describe them. But the WORST was the Old Fashion it self. It was watered down. It was literally wishky in water. - basically, seems the vast selection and quick turn over just makes the waiters not know the details. They try to server for all, but lack the personality and quality. Was not impressed with the amount of selections. I would be impressed with quality. read more

We visited for happy hour on a weekday. Service was fine. We sat at the bar. Ordered two drinks and some food too. Beer, Dragonfruit lemonade, Four cheese dip and Classic sliders. Everything was ok. Menu has lots of choices. It hit the cravings. But inside was a bit unclean. Private lot in mall. read more

I often go during happy hour which is 3-6pm so most appetizers are half off. Poke nachos are FIRE I eat 2 plates alone :). Don't recommend anything chicken as they tend to be burnt. Service is typically nice and you can order on the tablet so you don't have to flag your waiter down. It can get pretty hectic sometimes but honestly not bad for a quick cheap eat. The place is pretty big and loud. read more

I usually come here for happy hour since they have amazing deals, but came here around 1pm on a Tuesday for lunch this time and it wasn't busy at all, which made for a nice, relaxed experience. The restaurant has a dimly lit ambiance with a variety of seating options: booths, high-top tables, and bar seating. I was seated in a lower-level booth next to the bar, which felt cozy. I ordered my go-to jambalaya with spicy rice (not spicy for me) and it did not disappoint. It was very flavorful with a generous portion, loaded with shrimp, crawfish, sausage, and chicken. Definitely hit the spot. My friend got the sliders with onion rings and said they were really delicious as well. Service was great. The server was friendly and attentive, checking in on us throughout the meal without being overbearing. Overall, a solid lunch spot and I'd come back again. read more

LOVE THE HAPPY HOUR AT YARD HOUSE!!! Because what do you mean all these dishes was around 30 bucks?! I came with a friend on a Tuesday around 4pm and it wasn't crowded at all. We were able to be seated right away and ordered 3 items to share. Happy hour is Monday- Friday from 3-6pm and it's half off select appetizers and ALL PIZZAS! Late night is Sunday- Wednesday from 10pm to closing time. 1. Poke Nachos: Of course had to get their famous poke nachos. It's so good and hits every time with the sauce and garnish. 2. Truffled mushroom pizza: This pizza is so delicious and love that the crust is on the thinner side. It's crunchy and loaded up with mushrooms. I will say they don't cut the slices evenly and the toppings aren't spread out evenly either. 3. Seared Ahi Sashimi: The sashimi was pretty good and loved the sauce they paired with it. I think next time I would probably skip on this as it was a lot of food for two people to share. There's a bar in the middle of the place and I like the lighting in here. Will always come for their happy hour because it's so worth it! read more

First time trying this restaurant. It was recommended to me & I'm glad I'm tried it. We came for the happy hour & all the food options was so good for such a good price. We came before the surge of customers came. The server we had was so nice. She kept checking on our table. You order and pay through the machine on the table. Overall, totally would be back again. read more

Met here with a friend for her first time. Surprisingy no wait on Sunday night. Asked our server Tristan for his faves as he's a swlf-pronounced foodie. Instead of alfredo, suggested the Twisted Alfredo and that was by far the best dish we ordered. Always need to get the poke nachos and tried the spicy beef noodles and crab stack roll. Poke nachos and crab stack combined was awesome per Tristan's suggestion too. The beef noodles were a bit too salty in my opinion but still edible.we ordered rhe creamsicle drink was good but one was enough. Long beach ice tea was good as was a he strawberry mule. The salted watermelon margarita was a bit too sweet for me this yime although its my go to with a tajin rim. Highly recommend Tristan and the twisted alfredo. read more

I've gone to Yardhouse several times for the past few years, each time for their 3-6 PM happy hour. Select appetizers are half off, and cocktails are $2 off. I've become an avid lover of their poke nachos, the truffle mushroom pizza, and the Pineapple Express cocktail. While it does tend to fill up during happy hour, service has usually been quick. read more

Yard House - Poke Nachos - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

Came here 1/14/25 w coworkers group of 10. Plenty of seating all around and a bar/ steak environment. Multiple tv screens to watch sports. I would say the table that was provided to us was slightly small. We were kinda squished together, would had been nice if they added another table. We ordered multiple apps and pizzas (came here for the happy hour (1/2 off selected apps and pizzas) I got the margarita pizza which was abt $9. Personally, not the best pizza I had and the cheese was stiff, like non stretchy and .. rubby. The tomatoes and basil were very fresh tho. I do like the crust Strawberry lemonade (~$5) was like a knockoff. Tasted like it came from a premade brand from the stores which was a disappointment. I took a bite of the fried calamari from a friends plate and I think it was pretty good. Overall, we had a great time chatting. Although we didn't order the steaks, the other foods were alright. read more

Yard House - Chicken Nachos with the Deshutes IPA - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

Our family was given a Gift Card for Christmas to the Yard House on Santana Row in San Jose, so we decided to pay a visit while our kids were still on holiday break. It was our first time and we thought with the weather being really rainy that evening there wouldn't be a lot of people. We were wrong. It was really crowded with an hour wait for a table of 5. Our family decided to wait (plus it started raining harder outside). The front staff were friendly and doing their best to move people smoothly to tables as there were many folks waiting for tables ahead of us. When we were finally seated, our server was friendly and quickly took our order for drinks and appetizers. We started with the Onion Ring Tower which was crispy and tasty, accompanied by ranch dip. My family attacked that tower of onion rings and I was lucky to get an onion ring! Our family order consisted of the Crispy Korean Chicken, Birria Tacos, and Four Cheese Pizza. As for me, I'm a Jambalaya guy so if it's on the menu, chances are I will order it. I ordered the Spicy Jambalaya which had blackened shrimp, andouille sausage, crawfish, chicken, roasted poblano peppers, all in cajun cream sauce. There was a choice of linguini, brown rice or jasmine rice. I had it with the rice. It was delicious and spicy. I'd order it again! Overall the ambience was the usual for the type of establishment. Loud with music and TV screens showing sports games (we were seated in a booth by the bar). I shared with our waiter that it was my daughter's 15th birthday and he said, "don't worry, I'll take care of it." He brought her a brownie topped with vanilla ice cream with "Happy Birthday" stenciled in cocoa powder on the plate! I rate a restaurant based on my family's experience and enjoyment of the food and it was definitely thumbs up all around! read more

Great ambiance, typically nice and fast service. Unfortunatley, this place is only good for happy hour. If you go on regular hours, the food is over priced especially if you measure the quality to price ratio. Happu hour is a whole diffefent story, you will get the most bang for the buck. They do have a great beer selection, so its a big plus. Also drinking a half yard gives you a better experiemce. read more

Shout out to Sandra P!!! This one's for you!! Since my initial review for Yard House [written four years ago] I've made a number of visits after the fact. While I wished all visits were good, that just wouldn't be truthful. In fact, there were times I literally wanted to boycott this joint completely. After a long, long hiatus, my family and I decided to hit up Yard House for dinner. My personal reason for agreeing: the KALE & ROMAINE CAESAR SALAD. This will forever have me wanting to come back. Dinner consisted of: *KID'S CHEESEBURGER SLIDER- cheddar, toasted brioche bun. *CRISPY BRUSSELS SPROUTS x2 *EDAMAME *KALE & ROMAINE CAESAR + GRILLED CHICKEN- roasted brussels sprouts, pistachios, raisins, baby tomatoes, parmesan. *20oz BONE-IN RIBEYE + SHRIMP SKEWER- double order of the grilled baby broccoli, house steak sauce. Our initial server attempted to take our order twice and with us being indecisive, we ended up being passed onto a different server. Sorry for needing more time than the norm in deciding but honestly, us getting passed on was the best thing that could have happened. In comes Ms. Sandra P!! When I tell you this woman is kind, attentive, and such a positive vibe- I ABSOLUTELY MEAN IT!! Not only was she super patient, she made sure to check on us a number of times to see if there was anything we needed and confirmed that the meal was satisfactory. Not once did this amazing woman let my cup of iced tea go empty- she arrived with a fresh cup before I could even finish!! Her attention to detail was spot on during our entire meal and her friendliness was 100 even when things getting busier and she needed to juggle more. 5/5 stars. It really doesn't get any better than you, Ms. Sandra. You are such an asset to the company and an absolute delight to have encountered. Thank you for blessing my family & I with your presence. Oh yeah... food wasn't too shabby either! :D read more

We stopped in to get a quick bite. Mark was our server and he was friendly, courteous, attentive, and funny. *Kurobuta Pork Burger: snake river farms Berkshire pork, spicy Candied bacon, white American cheese, arugula, house-made blueberry ketchup, with house fries (4/5). A good tasting burger. Though, I wish they added more of the Blueberry ketchup on the burger. The fries were crisp and nicely fried. *Bread Pudding with Creme Anglaise: vanilla bean and caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream (4/5). Moist, and delicious bread pudding. My wife wished the edges were crispier. I thought it was pretty good. read more

First time here and had no idea what to expect. Friends said it was pretty great. Located in Santana Row and it was packed! We had a party of 11 and my friend called ahead. Imm quite sure that's how we got seated fairly quickly. Cool place. So upbeat. Lots of patrons. Several TV screens and folks all around. There's a keg room upstairs and you can see the lines that filter down to the bar. Pretty neat looking. We ordered a couple of appetizers. Guac and chips, and nachos. Both were good. I liked the nachos so much, I will order it next time. I got the small BBQ Chicken salad and that's all I needed. It was still a good size. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed their meals. I know there are other locations, but heard that this was the best one. I am quite pleased and hope to return again. read more

This is my second Yard House experience and just like the last one I was not wowed. Showed up on a Saturday around 5pm expecting it to be very busy. Despite there being a good amount of people already seated we were shown to our table right away. We ordered the following - Pretzel with mustard sauce - nothing great. It's a pretzel - Pink Dragon cocktail (smoked)- very good and I appreciate that they offered to have it smoked - Truffle Burger - I asked our server what she recommends and this was one of the items. Yes it was very juicy and actually very good......but very very oily/greasy. This would come to haunt me later There are plenty of indoor seating and the bathrooms looked clean. 5/5 our server Neveya (sorry for the wrong spelling) was amazing and very helpful. Now why not 5/5 stars overall? The other food options were ok and the truffle burger proceeded to bubble in my stomach for the next 6 hours. Plenty of truffle sauce burps later I had to take tums since my stomach was very upset. I appreciate that they have plenty of food and drink items, but I cannot seem to find something that really hits the spot. read more

I was in town over the past weekend for a race. I came with my partner and a friend. We showed up around 4:30 on a Saturday. Thought we might have a wait, since it looked busy. We were sat down right away. This was my first time here, but the others in my group have been before. The menu is extensive with both food and drinks. If you want options this place has them. The two in my group ordered the pink dragon cocktail, I don't usually drink, but this was so good. I ordered the stacked turkey club, it was ok. I probably wouldn't order it again, but I had a craving and this filled it. We shared the pretzel with cheese and mustard, that was pretty good though. I'd get it again! The service was great, very attentive and she always made sure we had everything we needed. This is a good place to bring people to catch up over some good food. read more

Yard House - Stacked Roasted Turkey Club - New American Near Me - San Jose, California

We went here for my nephews birthday because he really wanted French fries. Having been to other locations I knew the place would be crowded. The food is pretty consistent amongst the other locations. The wait is about the same. Parking is a pain here and there is a parking garage that offers the first 2 hours free. Our waiter was pretty good as we had a group of 6. We got some appetizers, wings and some flatbread and burgers. Everything is very average. You go to use house for the drinks. The beers are always pretty good and a great spot to watch sports. read more

Went in on a Sunday afternoon. The place was packed because there was a football game. The place was very loud. The wait for walk ins was 40min. Good thing we joined the waitlist from home we only had to wait about 20min. The service was fast despite it being sooo busy and full. The food was great very good quality. I enjoyed my food very much. My favorite plate was the hummus. Highly recommend getting it. read more

Went here at 3pm on a Thursday for their happy hour with my girlfriend. Not busy at all which is great, we got sat down and got drinks. Their menu is very extensive, your server can take your order or you send it through the little tablet at your table. They have a huge alcohol selection, especially beers. I will give a general breakdown, everything was good, they have happy hour deals 3pm - 6pm. Also late at night too! We got one appetizer, a salad (doesn't get offered at happy hour), and dessert (also doesn't get offered at happy hour). The place is very nice for a date, to chill, or watch a sports game. Definitely recommend for their happy hour deals. Could come here with a few friends and have a few drinks. read more

Yard House isn't much different than any American restaurant franchise but I still enjoyed my experience. The servers are always welcoming and do their best to serve you as soon as possible. it's always packed in the evenings but I had no problem with finding a seat at the bar except having to wait a few minutes until a sports game was over. The food is satisfying and comes in portions that fill you up. I shared the sliders with my friend and it made us a bit too full to finish our main courses, but I enjoyed the rest of the meal the next day reheated. read more

I don't know why people only give Yard House a 4 star but my experiences there (3+ times) doing happy hour is just awesome. They have dozens of different beer on tap for selection. They have many TV screens if you like watching sports. They have big tables if you are partying with friends. They have private corners if you want to chitchat with your BF/GF. Service is decently fast too. When we were there, they brought it the multiple beers and dishes out relatively fast. They have 2 hr free parking in the garage nearby. And $2 for each additional hour. read more

Came here for lunch and luckily it wasn't too packed. This is definitely a nice place to sit around and relax and unwind with friends, family, and etc. The atmosphere is nice, but the service was a bit slow. Parking is also very difficult since it is located in Santana Row. This was my first time at Yardhouse and the food was a bit underwhelming with only a few hits and a few mediocre dishes. For food, my table ordered the Poke Nachos, Lobster Garlic Noodles, Onion Ring Tower, BBQ Chicken Pizza, and the Ahi Crunchy Tuna Salad. We also ordered margaritas and mock tails, which, I got the Pina Spritz. Hits: * The Poke Nachos were good. The sauce was sweet and savory. I think the flavors go very well with each other and the fish tasted fresh as well. * Pina Spritz Mocktail is really good. It's very refreshing from the pineapple juice. Definitely try if you like fruity drinks. * Lobster Garlic Noodles were decent. I liked the noodles as it was soft. The lobster and shrimp it came with was good but I found it to be a bit bland. Average: * Onion Ring Tower was okay. I feel like you can never go wrong with them if you're looking for a fried appetizer. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it as much as it seemed a bit over cooked so the outer fried batter was very hard. * BBQ Chicken Pizza was okay. I didn't enjoy it as much. I found the sauce and the pizza to be very bland. * Ahi Crunchy Tuna Salad was okay. The Ahi tuna pieces were okay, but the salad wasn't very enjoyable. It came with a sort of soy vinaigrette but I still found it to be bland and could have used a better sauce. Final Verdict: Solid 3/5. I think it is a nice place to stop by occasionally, but I found a few of the food dishes to be very mediocre. A lot of the dishes were very bland. read more

It was very packed when my friends and I went in for dinner on a Saturday evening. Luckily, despite us being a group of ten, we were seated in less than ten minutes. The servers were nice and polite, checking up on us once in a while to see how we were doing and asking if we needed anything. Since we ordered so much food and drinks, I'll just review some of the items I've tried, including my own entree and drink: - ahi tuna crunchy salad (5/5): the salad was savory, crunchy, and almost juicy. The raw tuna itself was okay, but I guess it's an acquired taste. - dragon fruit cosmo (5/5): right amount of fruitiness and bitterness. Definitely would recommend this. Some of what my friends ordered: - espresso martini (5/5): This was my first time trying coffee with vodka. Honestly, I love it, even if it's very strong in terms of bitterness (and alcohol content? My friend, who ordered it, immediately became tipsy after drinking half of the martini). - lobster garlic noodles (4.5/5): I really like it. It's savory and filling. - Brussels sprouts (4.5/5): This dish gave me hope that vegetables can taste delicious, even without the side sauces. - onion ring tower (3/5): It's just onion rings. Nothing special about the taste or quality. There's boba shops and fast food restaurants that can serve better onion rings (sorry...) - truffled mushroom pizza (5/5): Omg, it was so delicious. There was so much cheese to the point where it stretched every time I took a bite. There was also sauce on top that helped amplify the taste. Next time, I'll order this myself and try to gobble the entire pizza up. read more

4500 reviews huh? I guess mine really won't make an impact. But here goes! This is just for the happy hour at the bar review. Our expectations for service was as much as you'd expect, which was pretty good considering you just flag someone down that was walking around the bar to serve you. The beer selection was simply too much. Covering the full gamut of what kinds of beer or drink you could ask for. The happy hour food menu, also fairly robust. You'll leave happy and satisfied and pretty full. Parking at Santana Row is awful. read more

Went to Yard House for happy hour and had a blast! It's definitely a great spot if you're looking for a fun, casual atmosphere with plenty of food, drinks, and sports. Happy hour is definitely the way to go here. there's a ton of options and you'll leave satisfied. The Poke Nachos were by far the standout dish -- crunchy, flavorful, and just the right amount of poke. The service was friendly and attentive. The staff was quick to take our orders and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. We were well taken care of the entire time. The vibe here is lively and upbeat, and the place has plenty of TVs for watching sports. It's perfect for hanging out with friends or enjoying the game over some drinks and bites. It gets busy, but it's spacious enough that you're not cramped, and the noise level is just right for a fun night out. Overall, Yard House is a great choice if you want to enjoy good food, drinks, and sports in a relaxed setting. I'll definitely be back, especially for those Poke Nachos! read more

I have been coming here for so many years, it's crazy to see how much this restaurant has evolved. Yard house has become a staple on my rotating list for late night drinks and snacks. The service here can be a hit or miss, but it also depends on how busy they are. Most of the time, the staff here are amazing and so attentive. The restaurant itself is quite large in space and though it can be noisy at times, the vibes are pretty fun and high energy. OKAY THE FOOD & DRINKS: (okay they're mainly appetizers but hear me out) * Buffalo wings- yes, I know, classic and a bit cliche but I genuinely enjoy how crispy their wings come out. Definitely my top 3 appetizers. * Calamari- a staple if you're coming for drinks/ happy hour. The calamari just pairs well and is so yummy * Sliders - again, a little basic, but just PAIRS SO WELL WITH DRINKS * Strawberry mojito- i absolutely LOVE and destroy these. They're super refreshing and gives you a fun little buzz * Malibu Peach - super YUM. I love this drink, if you only want one drink that's sweet and refreshing, this is probably your best bet. read more
