    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.

    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.

    Vampire Carnitas Tacos, loved, so good! Appetizer, Edamame - yummy

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 !!!

    Good variety, consistent & tasty. EXCELLENT waiter, Caleb made the outing perfect. He knows this place and what it offers. He is an excellent spokesperson. On the ambience , comfortable & spacious. A bit loud but upbeat. A ''must do-drop-in ! A solid 3 stars & worth every sparkle.

    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!

    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....

    Had a great time here as we came on a Friday for the half off apps and drinks. Couldn't have had a better waitresss as she was super nice and helpful. The food was really good and for the half off price it's a great deal

    Didn't expect this place to be open until 1am but my service was amazing, kitchen open late, and huge selection Aubrey had a really annoying section and did an amazing job juggling it all, kudos to her.

    Excellent House Cheese Steak
    Scott Y.

    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.

    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.

    We went to Ford's for lunch with the family after a morning at the aquarium. It was pretty busy,…read morebut we were seated quickly & had a wonderful server! The food was excellent & super fresh! We especially liked the salads and bowls which are new to the menu. Also, the manager went out of her way to get my wallet back to me after forgetting it on the table. Going the extra mile meant a whole lot & saved me a 3 hour round trip. Thank you for being awesome!

    Tried Ford's Garage last night while on vacation in Sarasota. We've eaten at one near Cincinnati…read morebefore and remembered the burgers being really good -- and as a burger lover, I figured why not give it another shot. We grabbed seats at the bar, and Anna took great care of us. Super friendly, attentive, and honestly the highlight of the experience. I ordered the Estate Burger -- smoked Gouda, sweet onion marmalade, arugula, tomato, onion straws, and white bacon aïoli on a brioche bun, served with fries. When the burger came out, it looked solid at first glance... but the portion of fries was really small (definitely a "see before and after pics" situation). I asked Anna about it, and she handled it like a rock star -- got more fries out quickly and totally saved the meal. Still, for $17.99, I shouldn't have had to ask in the first place... you feel me? As for the burger itself, the flavor was good, but it didn't quite live up to the menu description. The toppings felt pretty light -- like a few pieces of arugula, a handful of onion straws -- not what you expect when you're paying that price for a specialty burger. Overall, mixed experience. Great service from Anna, solid flavor, but portions and execution didn't quite match the price point. Would I come back? Yeah... but next time, don't forget the rest of my fries.

I had been wanting to try it for months since they opened, and we finally went for our anniversary. I even noted that on the reservation, which made the experience feel like it should have been something special. Unfortunately, it missed the mark. Nothing was outright "wrong" with the host or wait staff, but the overall vibe just wasn't welcoming. For the price point, I expected to leave feeling like it was an incredible, memorable dinner that I couldn't wait to repeat. Instead, we left pretty underwhelmed and unlikely to return. One thing that stood out was that although we noted it was our anniversary on the reservation, nothing was acknowledged at all. That's totally fine, but it does make you wonder why the question is asked in the first place if it's not going to be recognized in any way. The fish itself was fresh, and I do think if I had ordered more simple sashimi or nigiri, I would have enjoyed the food more. However, we ordered a mix of sushi rolls and appetizers, and the rolls just weren't well balanced in flavor. Nothing stood out as something I'd order again. The potstickers (gyoza) were the highlight, honestly some of the best I've had. Beyond the food, there were a lot of small details that added up. The drinks were served in glasses that felt cheap. The silverware felt cheap. Our table was wobbly. The space felt small, loud, and a bit cold in atmosphere. Plates weren't cleared when they should have been, and there were noticeable service gaps. Our server didn't know the answer to a simple question about a drink on the happy hour menu (he did go find out, but it slowed things down). Our meals and desserts didn't come out together, with a pretty significant delay between, which took away from the experience. At the end of the night, it was about a $200 meal that felt more like a $75 experience. We really wanted to love it, but overall it just didn't live up to the expectations they set. There are several other sushi spots nearby that we would choose over this next time we want to go out for sushi. Overall, I'd rate it a 6/10.
