Was in Sarasota for a work event and ended up at Yard House twice in the same day. For lunch I started with the Spicy Edamame and the Blackened Ahi Sashimi and loved both. After the event we made it in time I order happy hour food. Love the half of appetizers and pizza options. I had some Calamari and Loaded Pepperoni Pizza also loved both. I had to finish with a Chocolate Lava Cake. Service was great both times. For lunch we sat inside at a high top near the bar and later in the day we sat outside. The restaurant is huge and has plenty of parking. read more

First time customers. Large selection of menu offerings in a lively sports themed setting. From this customer's perspective, what went wrong is less important than how the business corrected the problem . Note to management: Thank you to our server JESSICA! She turned what could've been a disastrous first encounter into a surprisingly welcoming experience--thank you for stepping up and fixing things. read more

Yard House - Spicy Jambalaya - New American Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

This yard house located at the University Town Center exterior restaurant. Parking never a problem for this restaurant and convenience. This is the second yard house I have been to. I got the tuna nachos and the nachos were crispy. The tuna is good and good sauce on it. I also got the shiitake garlic noodle. But this dish is a bit let down in comparison to Yard House in Tampa. The noodle is not fully pan fried with a bit burn. A lot of watery juice came out. Overall service is ok. Ambient is good. read more

Came to Yard House for the first time the other day. People have been raving about it for a while (yes - I know it is a chain). The ambiance is relatively chill. A lot of TVs. Very much a more upscale sports bar. Waitress was very nice and helpful with the menu. We ordered the following: Ahi tuna nachos: amazing. 100% recommend Crispy wings: bbq are a must get. Would pass on the Korean crunchy garlic flavor. Comes with ranch and like a garlic aioli (bomb) Onion rings: good but lacked seasoning Ahi tuna entree: good but smaller portion. Would rather have the nachos Spicy jambalaya: very good. The sausage was spicy. The rest of it was normal spice level. Whiskey glazed salmon: would pass. Fish was a little overdone and the glaze is just like a thick syrup. Came with bland potatoes and broccolini (good) Drinks were very reasonable. Huge beer selection. Will be back! Big indoor and outdoor area read more

We love this place. We ordered appetizers for happy hour. We got Miguels Queso with ground beef, Wisconsin cheese curds and Korean glazed Brussel Sprouts. I orderd an alcohol coconut drink that was amazing. All the Apps were full size and and absolutely delicious. Our server was so good. The friendliest and very kind. The ambiance was great. Clean and spacious. read more

While attending a nine day course in the area, we stopped by as a group to celebrate passing a test. We were a large group, arriving at the start of the dinner rush. A couple of us had a beverage at the main bar, and within 15 minutes, they had a table ready for the group. One of the reasons we picked Yard House is you know exactly what you're walking into. Their extensive selection or beers and cider on tap, combined with a solid menu that satisfies folks who want a full course meal and bar aficionados who want to take in a game while snacking on starters. We chose a combination. I enjoyed a draft beer of the sour berry variety along with, pizza, one of my favs... fried cheese curds. Others enjoyed burgers, pizza, wings, and pasta dishes. A congratulatory dessert concluded our celebration. A hit and run review is fitting for an establishment you can get in and out of as quick as you'd like, while enjoying consistent beverages and food. read more

September 2025 Came here on a Sunday afternoon, it was busy but not overwhelming. Sat in a big booth in the bar, very comfortable. Football games were on and it was nice. Our server was very helpful & friendly. There is a lot of choices, the ones we narrowed down & ordered were all great choices. My husband got the barbecue chicken salad, said it was the best one he's ever had. Also ordered carnitas tacos, perfect and appetizers - edamame/ guacamole & chips .. two cocktails.. this was my favorite dining experience in a while. read more

Rolled into Yard House for some fuel before making the dreaded trip into the mall. Smartest decision of the day. The steak bowl was legit, and the poke salad was so fresh I half expected it to swim off the plate. Even their Coke deserves a medal. It was cold, fizzy, and absolutely on point. Yes, it was packed. No, I didn't wait forever. Huge win. The vibe is wild: classic rock videos on the screens, sports everywhere you look, and enough noise to remind you you're not at grandma's house. And of course, Yard House claims to have the "world's largest selection of beer on tap." Adorable flex...but I'm pretty sure Guinness might want to have a chat. All in all, solid food, fast service, and a great pit stop before mall chaos. read more

Living in central Florida on the Gulf Coast, we usually don't frequent restaurant chains as there are so many local places that are phenomenal. But, when it comes to Yard House, we make an exception. I have been to these in several parts of the country and they always outperform. Sarasota location being no exception. Atmosphere is always fun, service is always quick and friendly and just a great atmosphere to hang out with sports in the background. They also play old MTV videos with the music at just the right level to enjoy but not overwhelm. Food is always top notch. Lots of selections no matter if you're looking for appetizers, regular bar food or main dishes that are creative and well prepared. Obviously, beer selections on draft can't be beat. Never disappoints! read more

Second time here.... Food is awesome and service is above & beyond. Walking in gives you a lively jump and quite welcoming. Bar was full and we sat at a high top for lunch. James was our server and was polite, pleasant and very accommodating on our orders. My husband ordered their hamburger (without a bun). Our daughter ordered 10 wings, 1/2 spicy, 1/2 with an Asian sauce. The wings were of decent size & quite meaty. I ordered the Double BLT & sweet potato fries. Whatever we wanted to change... he was all in to make us happy !! The BLT full of nicely cooked bacon. I wanted extra crispy sweet tator fries.... No problem. I asked about the sauce for the sweet potatoes. He brought us a sample plate with Honey mustard, maple syrup & most surprising was the Blueberry ketchup. It was delicious and became the favorite. We all would order the same in a heartbeat.... AND ask for James. What a great guy !!! read more

Stopped by the Yard House while in Sarasota for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful everything was! We kicked things off with the crispy Brussels sprouts, and they were absolutely addictive. Perfectly roasted with a tangy glaze and a little crunch--honestly, one of the best Brussels sprouts appetizers I've had. For my entrée, I ordered the Lobster Garlic Noodles, and they did not disappoint. The dish was rich, buttery, and garlicky in the best way possible. The lobster was tender and generously portioned, paired with shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, and thick noodles that soaked up all that amazing sauce. It felt indulgent without being too heavy. The portion size was very generous (definitely enough to take some home!) The service was friendly and on point, even though the place was fairly busy and lively, but not overwhelming. Great spot if you're looking for a relaxed vibe and bold flavors. I highly recommend if you're craving something comforting but elevated! - The appetizers alone are worth the visit! read more

Atmosphere - This is basically a beer hall with food service. The ceilings are high and the place becomes extremely noisy during a busy time. The restaurant had the AC set so that the place was uncomfortably cold. Service - Our server was pleasant. However it took a very long time between our order and the delivery of our food despite it being a bunch of sandwiches. Food - the menu is huge with lots of interesting options. I ordered the tomato bisque as a starter and it was served hot and was very good. I had the Taco combo and it too was very good. Overall - This is a very nice option for those looking for casual dining read more

Great food! Lots of beer on tap- over 100! Good music playing. Was a long day for us- and stopped for some eats... wish we had a little more stamina... we'd have stayed longer and just tried all the beers . Our waiter was friendly. Our table ordered- chicken/avocado sandwich,; Cobb salad with blackened shrimp; chaser salad with blackened chicken ; cheesesteak sandwich. ....i love blackened anything- my only thought was that the seasoning was very salty... otherwise, I really enjoyed it all. Onion rings as an app- nice portion- great sauces. Fries were delish with skin on edge. Didn't order the chicken nachos- but every other table seemed to order and we wish we had.... Beer flights super nice. Was a rainy day for us- otherwise would have been nice to sit out on their patio and relax there.... read more

Yard House - You're my boy blue! - New American Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I gotta say, I can't think of one negative comment to make. The place was very nice. Even though it's done in that industrial motif, it's still warm and inviting. The place has a great vibe. The interesting thing is that even though the place was packed last night, I could have a conversation with my wife at normal levels. Normally places like this are super loud when packed with people. The service was excellent. We asked for our fries well done. It's usually a 50/50 proposition they'll come out that way. Especially on a Saturday night when a place is absolutely jamming. But they did. We were surprised. My cheese steak was really really good. My wife's cheese burger was excellent. I could go on and on. Great vibe, great service, good food. Very fair prices, fun atmosphere. I can't think of any reason I shouldn't rate this a 5. read more

The food was amazing Plenty of food for the money service was great, very attentive. From the moment you walk in ambiance's typical loud music, but at least the music was from the 80s. Talk about flashback. I definitely would recommend this place to others. I had the double pepper burger. We also hide the everything tuna sandwich.It was very good, except the barbecue was too much. i recommend the cheese dip.It was delicious, not spicy.Just the good hint of pepper. read more

We really enjoy The Yard House. Every meal we've had has been delicious and the bar tenders are awesome. Fun place to do on a date or with a group. Service is the best and the ambiance is fun! The new menu items like the chicken enchilada stack are amazing. The vampire tacos with spicy rice and red beans totally delicious. The prime rib was juicy and cooked perfectly. Side were so good. You can't go wrong read more

*Wanting to make it clear that this is a review for their happy hour* I love this location. The patio area is so nice and even when it's busy for happy hour-- we usually get seating immediately if we request outside. I don't drink often, but my husband always gets a few beers and seems like it's a fair price. We love the boneless wings with bbq and Korean (?) chili sauce. They let you do half and half. We also get the nachos with the salsas on the side and it's a huge portion. Great for groups. Happy hour prices are very fair especially in comparison to other restaurants in UTC. Servers are nice and surprisingly very attentive even when it's packed. They also have devices you can order and pay at, which is very convenient. This is our go to spot now whenever we want happy hour. Highly recommend. read more

Alisha and deanthony were amazing I haven't had better service before at any bar, they helped me navigate the giant beer wall and let me taste the ciders so I got something I truly enjoyed. The food was fantastic, you can't go wrong with anything you order I got the pineapple chicken and my husband got the spicy beef noodles and both were delicious. read more

I love yard house, this was the first time my parents had it and they enjoyed everything. You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. I had the Nashville hot chicken and sweet potato pancakes. These were great and I think the syrup was also sweet and spicy. My mom had the fish and chips which she enjoyed (especially the large portion size). My dad had the blue cheese and bacon burger. He said it was the best burger he ever had and commented on the burger-to-bun ratio. Not pictured is the chicken nachos we had as an appetizer (we devoured it before I could get a picture). I'd recommend getting these as well. read more

Never again i can't even begin to describe the food/service at this place. they didn't have the items on the menu, but didn't tell me until i had ordered the items and had been sitting, waiting for over 15 minutes. the food that was eventually served was cold and tasted bad. this experience was so unfortunate. read more

We had a ladies luncheon today with 15 girls. The two waitresses were on top of everything. Constantly checked our table. I highly recommend this restaurant. Food is delicious and so much to choose from. We will be back! read more

This place is huge! We were meeting a family member and were first to arrive. By the time they arrived, I was freezing as the air conditioning was on so high. Between the very loud music and the air conditioning, it wasn't my greatest start at a restaurant. Our server was friendly, although not very attentive. The menu had a nice variety of choices. I settled on the grilled cheese and tomato soup...since I was so cold. We waited a really long time for our food and thankfully it was hot when it arrived. The soup was very good. The sandwich was funky as they cut it oddly so it was super messy to eat. It was ok. We were so happy to leave and get outside. Although I liked the atmosphere I would not likely go back. read more

The yard house at UTC is delightful spot to experience a culinary twist on American and other ethnic dishes. Pleasant upscale ambience, plain but pleasing decore and food that is appealing and refreshing. Staff is professional and friendly inside or outside dining and well over 100 beer choices. Kid friendly moderately priced. Our party of six had a mixture of dishes and every one was pleased with their meals. This spot also serves full dinner meals so consider it for a dinner visit. Try the Prime Rib. read more

Nice atmosphere, good service and the Black pepper bourbon/whisky chicken wings were incredible. Really enjoyed our visit.

We had a great experience here for lunch! Our server was incredibly kind and insightful. He suggested a house lager that was fantastic and also suggested we get burgers. Both were great choices. The burgers were delicious, fresh, and cooked perfectly. Fries were hot and the truffle fries were a nice addition. Interior is dark and has a bit of an elevated sport pub vibe. They were playing 70s hits so the vibe was on point! read more

Have enjoyed this place for years. Finally gave into having their most expensive menu item ... the $45 -- 20 oz. Ribeye. $54 with tip. DO NOT ORDER THIS. Cooks are good at most everything else. I have my steak Rare. First ... it's too thin a cut to "Pittsburgh" it ( burn each side) for that charred taste/look. Came out medium. Poor. Can't be cooked rare or even medium rare. Cut was tough. ORDER SOMETHING ELSE!!! Terrible. I grew up as Chef in excellent family restaurant in New England. Still good Chef. These are "Cooks" no Chefs. read more

I visited Yardhouse for the first time on this trip and had heard great things about it. I've got to say it was great the portions were humongous. I wasn't expecting much as the prices are a little more than I thought. But the flavors and quantity of the food blew me out of the water. The waitress gave us a tasters of beers so we could decide which one we wanted. Nice dive bar style restaurant. read more

Yard House - Cilantro Lime Chicken - New American Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I've been to many different Yardhouse locations. This was my 2nd visit to this location in Sarasota. I have to say it's consistent between all. I compare it to Cheesecake Factory. The menu is huge and there is something available for everyone and anyone, including picky eaters! Always great for a large group. The service is always on point. This visit we were 3 and shared the Chicken Nacho Platter which is absolutely delicious! For dinner I had the Orange Chicken which is a favorite of mine. Yard House is open late which is always a plus. They have a huge bar and an extensive drink & beer menu. Lots of seating as well as a nice patio with heaters. The one thing I will mention about Yard House is that it is always noisy! Also, it's extremely noisy when sporting events are on the TV's! read more
