Yard House is great, but the real MVP tonight was **Rikki** behind the bar. I asked for my signature drink...Pink Dragon with no rim....and she nailed it immediately, like we've been best friends for years. Let me tell you, there's a difference between "bartender made" and **Rikki made**. She didn't just get the order right, she made the whole experience feel effortless and fun!!!! Friendly, attentive, and somehow my drink was exactly the vibe I wanted.......balanced, refreshing, and perfectly executed!!!!! Do yourself a favor and come through. If Rikki working, you're in good hands. I'm already planning my next visit like it's an appointment with the Pink Dragon. read more

This was our third time visiting Yard House in Tampa, and once again, it did not disappoint! The staff was amazing and somehow the food was even better. Usually when you go to a restaurant with a HUGE menu, you kind of expect everything to be good but nothing to be really great. That's what makes Yard House different. Every meal I've had here has been fresh, flavorful, and genuinely delicious. We had the Korean Beef Cheesesteak, and that thing was SO flavorful and absolutely packed with meat. My husband loves cheesesteaks and said it's one of the best non-Philly cheesesteaks he's had! The fries were great too. I had the Garlic Beef Noodles, and OMG. So good! They're not super spicy at first, but the spice definitely creeps up on you after a few bites. Be prepared for the runny nose! The beef was incredibly flavorful, and everything together with the noodles and veggies was just chef's kiss. My son had the pizza and loved it. He said the dough was crispy on the outside but still soft, with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. And yes, I stole a bite--it was good! We also tried the Hibiscus Mule mocktails. They were refreshing and tasted good, although they were a little heavy-handed with the ginger beer for us. Still enjoyable, just very gingery. Overall, this place continues to be a win for us. Great service, great food, tons of options, and we've yet to have a bad meal here. I definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Tampa. Now I just need Yard House to bring a location to Jax, because I would probably be there every weekend. read more

This is my go to place when pre-gaming for anything at Benchmark (formerly Amalie) arena. They have the biggest selection of beer I have ever seen. Even the pickiest beer drinker can find something here. All the food here is solid. This time I decided to get a custom made pizza. Despite being pre-game busy, my server was happy to oblige. Ordered a sausage, mushroom, and onion pizza. It was very good. Not just, "good for any restaurant", but "good as a high end pizzeria" good. Be prepared if you come during a pre-game. Lots of activity, lots of people, longer wait times. So come early, or after the game and enjoy pizza and your favorite beer! On a side note, I've heard a rumor that a Yard House is coming to Wesley Chapel in the future. Can't wait. read more

Went here before the Kid Cudi concert last night. When we first walked in, we asked if we could sit outside and they said it was first come, first serve. So we walked to the outside shaded area to grab a table but the waitress stopped us and said the free seating is outside outside (in the sun). So we went back in and asked for a table in the shaded outside. They brought us back to the table we were originally trying to sit at. So, already a rough start. The shaded area is nice to sit in though. It wasn't too hot, they had fans on and I wasn't cold for the first time ever. We ordered the truffle fries, Kurobuto Pork burger, wings (half lemon pepper, half buffalo) and Brussels sprouts, a medium sized Blue Moon and a medium sized Yuengling. The truffle fries were terrible! Mostly cold, not crispy, not enough salt, just overall bad. No Parmesan cheese on them either. The Kurobuto burger was actually pretty delicious. It had candied bacon, white American cheese, arugula and blueberry ketchup. The Brussels sprouts were nothing to write home about. They had good flavor, but weren't crispy at all. Half of the wings came out cold (the buffalo ones). We asked to have them replaced and then the waitress disappeared for about 15-20 minutes as our beers sat empty. Not sure what happened, but the wings came back out after 15 minutes, right before we were ready to leave. My friend said she didn't want them because we were about to go to a concert and didn't want to leave them in her car. The waitress finally came back about 10 minutes after that and said the wings should be coming. We told her we sent them back because they took too long. She ended up taking them off the bill. The ambiance was nice and it's a convenient place to eat if you're going to an event at Benchmark, but the food didn't live up to the high prices. Would probably not come back. read more

This was one of the best experiences I have had at a Yard House ever! This is the best ran Yard House! I sat at the bar and was immediately greeted at the door and the bar. I ordered the house salad and the coco passion drink. I received my food within 10 minutes or less and the food was amazing. The salad had the perfect amount of dressing on it and you get to choose your dressing. The drink was well mixed and full of flavor. I look forward to going again soon. read more

Came here on a Sunday and completely forgot that it is football season currently so it was packed ! We waited around 30 minutes so it was not too bad. I got the Maui salmon and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't good either. It didn't taste like it had much dressing on it and overall it was a very dry plate. The rice was good and crunchy. I probably wouldn't get this again. Service was a bit slow but that was expected due to the games going on. read more

This is my 3rd visit to Yard house. Never a bad meal here. The steaks are cooked perfectly, the sides are not an afterthought and such a big beer selection. Has an upscale sports bar feel with great service. Biggest issue is usually parking if there is an event going on at the arena but well worth the effort. Oh and definitely get the pretzel, so warm and perfect with beer. read more

Really cool sports bar and restaurant great entertainment good energy, clean and friendly. Great place to watch a game of any kind on one of the many big screens. The staff were kind and knowledgeable. The nachos could feed a large family huge and filled with great toppings. The steaks salad was delicious so much good stuff there to enjoy. The burger was a burger, they could do better. Overall, I'll find a Yard House in another big town again! But if you're in Tampa you should check this one out! read more

Yard House - Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Yard House is one of my favorite sports bar of all time. We live in downtown Tampa so it's just a quick walking distance there & home. Not only the drinks are phenomenal, but the food is absolutely amazing. The hubs really likes the brussels sprouts here. I think they are too wet. I wouldn't order them myself. I normally like them crispy on the outside and moist in the middle and not wet. It was a weird sauce almost like Cajun, which is unusual for brussels sprouts. I still think Yeoman's has the best Brussels sprouts in the area. The onion rings here are the absolute best. The breading is flat and smooth, and the onions are thick. Places that make the crispy bumpy batter usually scratch my throat being so crispy however, the onion rings here are flat and smooth, and that doesn't happen. I like to order it with a side of beer cheese dipping sauce; it is absolutely incredible. I definitely recommend ordering a side of beer cheese dipping sauce. The drinks here are so strong. I was only able to get one since it was so strong. They are just too strong for me but very delicious. The hubs likes all of the drinks here he's tried them all. I ordered the espresso reposado martini, and I explained it to the server that I didn't want it sweet and he had a smarta$$ remark. I never saw him again after that drink hopefully, I never get that server again. He was ridiculous. The remainder of the service is absolutely incredible. Everyone is super sweet that we ordered food & rest of our drinks from. They must really enjoy their job. They're just a lovely bunch there. Know the menu extensively well and can recommend anything that you're craving for. Except for the first guy that we ordered our drinks from I would avoid that person. He was weird. read more

I walked over to pick up a takeout order. I was greeted by a very friendly young woman at the counter and she got my order quickly. I had the fish and chips and a black cherry sparkling. The fish and chips were okay, I felt like there was too much breading but the fish was good and I had asked for extra crispy fries and they did do that so those were good. The drink was okay too! I probably wouldn't order the fish and chips again but I would try something else. read more

I am not sure if there is an issue on my side or what but I swore I wrote this review already & added my pictures! This review would have received less stars if a manager did not stop by our table and fix some issues. We had planned to dine here previous to this visit to Tampa. I was here for a work event and did not want to travel far from our hotel. Unfortunately, there was a convention taking place at several hotels and the convention center the same time so everywhere was crowded like cockroaches. Upon walking in, this place was also crowded. We put our name on the list and kept watching the bar area for anyone who left. After 25 minutes, we were led to our table. Our server approached us quick enough and took our drink order. Once she put in our drinks, she offered us to order. We were starving so we placed our order. Our table was a couple feet from the bar but our drinks never arrived. I ordered the Kale salad and Gardein wings, which arrived prior to our drinks arriving. The manager was the one who dropped the food off and I informed him we never received our drinks, to which he inquired what they were, retrieved them from the bar, and then offered to remove them from the bill. That was a nice offer. Our server was not to be seen again until a good 30 minutes later. I just wanted to get a box and get the hell out of there. The food was okay but the wings were cold. Hubs enjoyed his food but it was not good as previous visits to other locations. read more

The only franchise that I'm truly obsessed with. The food is always consistent. This location is always busy due to it being across from Benchmark Arena but they are veryyyy quick when it comes to getting your food out to you. I love that you can put yourself on the waitlist before you arrive! It is a very loud environment, so if you're looking for some place to have intimate conversation, this is not the place for that. Great to watch sports, as they have a ton of tvs! read more

Such a fun place to watch a game! They have a large menu with options for any picky eater and one of the biggest beer menus in town. I love their Brussels and chicken lettuce wraps.

Yard House - Crispy Brussels Sprouts - Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

My first time to this yard house with friends. They give me a good impression because we don't have to wait for the table and join my friend's table who already there. This restaurant is about 4.5 stars. We were there before the event in arena. We got all their famous appetizers to share. We got the tuna nachos to start. It has good sesame taste. Our second dish is the shiitake garlic noodles. The quantity is there and so does the flavor. I like they have large btu fire for the noodles dish. The third dish is the crispy Brussels sprouts. The crispy taste is very crunchy. The fried calamari and the shrimp tower just ok. Service is great. Atmosphere is good. read more

Started with Sydney who was well on top of things. Unfortunately we had to move to a different table outside because ours was in direct sunlight. That's when Riley took over. She was very nice but not really on top of things as much. Not terrible but not the best. But when it came time to pay lol quick with it. Now on to the actual food itself, it was very very good! I ordered the pork chop with cauliflower rice. I've never tried cauliflower rice and wasn't really getting my hopes up. But mannnn it was delicious! And the pork chop perfectly seared and cook to perfection! Definitely a must try! Pics below! read more

Stopped by near closing to grab a quick bite to eat and watch the end of a game / highlights. Sat at the bar and it was quite full. Even though there were quite a few people the service was fairly quick and on top of things. They were bustling around. Within 15 minutes of sitting, ordering, and taking my first sip of beer, my food had arrived. I ordered the pizza which was on late night happy hour price and was clutch. The options aren't that great but I'll take a few dollars off whenever I have the chance. The pizza was okay. Greasy how I like it but the sausage was meh and the cheese wasn't gooey. But again, I didn't have high expectations and so I wasn't terribly disappointed. I just needed something in my tummy. The rest of the menu looked pretty legit. The hostess when I entered weren't terrible. They seemed over the day and ready for closing. There are tables all around bar which is an oval shape and in the middle of the establishment. It was low lighting. I took a cab / taxi here so not sure about parking but the proximity to the hockey arena is ideal especially if you want to sneak in a drink or two beforehand. read more

This place gets CROWDED for events and games. They don't take reservations but you can join the waitlist online. I highly recommend that. Online it said it was a 16-25 minute wait but we waited closer to 45 minutes. Outside is first come first serve. I highly recommend the chicken nachos. They are my favorite thing on the menu. We ordered 3 appetizers at once but they came out one by one I suppose when they were done to clear the window. When we got our boneless wings they were cold. We decided just to take the home and put them in our airfryer. All other food and drinks were good. It's quite loud in here when busy. Lots of tvs. The host do their best to seat as quickly as possible. This place knows how to handle a crowd. The bathroom needed some attention. Otherwise a good time. read more

This was my first time at a Yard House restaurant. The wait time for a table was less than five minutes which was good. The layout of the restaurant is spacious. Enrique was very nice and knowledgeable of the menu. It was busy during lunch because I was in Tampa for a convention. This made the servers very busy with longer than normal wait times for ordering food and drinks. It would have helped if you could order your own food from the kiosk on each table. Unfortunately, it only allows you to pay for your meal. The server was only able to place the order via the kiosk. All of the food was very delicious. I really enjoyed the Spicy Jambalaya. It had multiple proteins (chicken, crawfish, and shrimp). Truffle fries were good as an appetizer. My friend who dined with me also enjoyed the steak. Meal portions are large. You definitely get the value for what you pay. read more

Big Menu, Big Beer List, and a Solid Spot Downtown The Yard House in downtown Tampa is exactly what you want it to be: a lively, reliable go-to for a post-game bite, a big group dinner, or just a casual night out with a killer beer selection. It's part chain, part sports bar, part upscale pub -- and it pulls off the mix pretty well. What worked: The beer list is enormous. If you're into craft beer, imports, or just want something cold with your burger, you'll find something to love. They rotate taps often, and the staff actually knows what they're pouring. The menu is huge (maybe too huge?), but it means there's something for everyone -- burgers, tacos, poke, steaks, vegan options, and shareable apps. The ahi nachos and Korean BBQ wings were standouts. Service was attentive, even on a busy night. Our server handled a big table without missing a beat, and food came out faster than expected. Great location near the Riverwalk, Amalie Arena, and downtown hotels. Easy to walk to if you're exploring the area or heading to an event. A few things to note: It can get loud, especially during games or weekends. Not a quiet dinner spot, but fun if you're in the mood for energy. Not cheap -- you're paying a little extra for the location and atmosphere, especially on drinks. Menu size is a strength and a weakness -- it's easy to get decision fatigue, and not every dish is a hit (though most are solid). Your experience may vary -- I came here for a business dinner, and it was a write-off, so the sticker shock didn't hit quite as hard. If you're paying out of pocket, you might feel differently. Bottom line: Yard House DT Tampa is a dependable spot for groups, game nights, or business meals with a company card. It's not a quiet, cozy dinner -- but if you're looking for variety, good energy, and reliable service, it delivers. read more

I love this spot! While I do NOT love the parking rates -- if you can get past it, this place is in a prime location. I am sooo pleased that the food is good too! I LOVE their sliders! I ate them so fast I didn't even get a proper picture of them but TRUST me! I had them multiple times and they're consistently good! The drinks were on point. A while back I went and there was a cheerleading competition happening at the Amelia across the street. It was very packed, and there was a slight wait but once we were seated they moved pretty quickly. And the place was PACKED! The ambiance is very nice. There is inside, outside and bar seating. Plenty of seating. Someone had their dog (which I HATE at restaurants) -- they were outside and the dog was behaving and chilling, but still very hairy and I just hate it. I'm a pup parent and I love to take my dog places, but not around ppl and their food. So that's my only downside, but I'm still giving 5 stars. read more

We have bad to several other locations for yard house, but were extremely happy to hear that tampa bay was going to get one for ourselves. The space the location set on was vacant for years.So it is nice to see that is finally in good news for when you're going to a hockey game or anything that is going down at the arena. When there is an event you'll want to be there early especially if you are with a group of people because it does fill up extremely fast. Ben and I normally sit at the bar it even finding one open seating spot is a very difficult task.So generally , it starts off with me sitting down and him , standing behind me until one of our neighbors decides to leave. Even when that happens, other people are normally watching the open seating areas and try to swoop in.While he's standing right there and we have actually had people kind of give us attitudes about it when we've been standing there the whole time or Ben has been standing there the whole time and he just needs one seat and unfortunately , they have three or four people with feel entitled to all the seats. Generally this ends well at the end of a small conversation, but there are times here or there where people just do not want to give up or stand there themselves and we have to remind them that in such a busy spot directly across the street from the arena that if they come with multiple people that they should probably plan well ahead in advance and get there early. They have tons of beverage options on tap including other drinks of your choice.And they also have a very good menu as we have eaten there several times as a stack before going into the arena itself. Where things are much more expensive. read more
