Absolutely amazing! The best restaurant i have ever visited so far. the buffalo chicken pizza was 10/10. I personally cant explain anything bad about it. The customer service was so fast and understandable. The waitress would see an empty cup and come back with a full, tasty drink again in a quickie. The vibe was so crowded and everyone was so happy there. The different unique options were epic! I would go here for my birthday party next year and suggest this restaurant to all of my friends! definitely did not dissappoint. read more

Yard House - New American Near Me - Vernon Hills, Illinois

First time visitor to Yard House from out of town, and what a great establishment with a solid vibe. The atmosphere is exactly what I was hoping for, and it was perfect with a very eclectic music playing throughout. I was helped by Jenni at the bar and she was fantastic. She introduced herself, and didn't skip a beat. I didn't have to wait long to order a beer (of which they have MANY), a she even gave me her opinion on an appetizer choice. Throughout the entire time there she checked on me regularly but not in a way that was almost too much. For my appetizer I had the Four Cheese Spinach Dip, and that was a solid recommendation I took from my bartender. Very glad that I did, great rich taste and not too heavy which was phenomenal. Lastly, I decided to get a pizza since it was happy hour which take note that most if not all their appetizers and pizzas are on the 3-6 PM happy hour menu, so take advantage. I got 'The Carnivore' , and it had a a nice, savory, meaty taste. The pizza was perfectly baked, the dough was fresh and I have NO complaints. So whether you are a local, or a traveling out of towner like me I HIGHLY recommend Yard House. I know it's a franchise, but it honestly didn't feel like one. It felt real, authentic & fun. Also this is a craft beer lovers paradise. Literally they have wrap around beer taps. read more

Always a good time at the yard house. Met a colleague for diner and drinks. Ordered appetizers and main course. Typical yard house set up and appeal. It was nice to see that it was busy. Was given a table next to bar area and found it a bit overwhelming as it was very noisy. Not a negative. But how well the business does to bring in patrons. Ordered the ahi appetizer. Amazing as always. Then ordered the pork chop. Again amazing. I don't think in al the years I've been eating at this establishment I've ever had a bad meal. That says something about quality control across many different Yard House restaurants I have visited over the years. Always happy to eat at this establishment. read more

I went to Yard House in Vernon Hills with two friends on a Saturday right when they opened at 11AM. We were greeted right away and seated at a roomy booth. My first impression of this place is that it's huge with a large bar and a lot of tap beer! Our waitress, Debbie, was extremely friendly and personable, we all really liked her. She showed us the electronic menu on the table, which had photos of all the food items on the menu- super helpful! We order the Spicy Tuna Stack and garlic noodles to start, both were delicious. We also ordered the brussels sprouts, which we didn't like at all. We sent them back because they were oily, over sauced, and didn't taste good. For entrees we order the steak bowl, sliders, and Cobb salad with chicken. All were good! Only complaints are that I requested no bacon in my salad but it had bacon anyway, and we requested sweet potato fries with the sliders but received regular. The waitress took care of the fries right away and they did offer to adjust the salad but I kept it and just scooped the bacon out. Overall, friendly staff, some hit or miss items on the menu, nice atmosphere. read more

Updated review, came in for the happy hour, which is from 3 pm - 6 pm Monday to Friday and you can make a reservation! It was crazy busy until about 6:30 pm then no lines at the front! We had sliders (there were 4 of them and with fries, very juicy this time), chicken nachos (huge and had lots of flavor and crunch, needed more sour cream and guacamole), calamari (this was not good, lots of small pieces and dry) and of course my favorite, the truffled mushroom pizza (this was really tasty and you can smell and taste the truffle)! The noise level is a different story, it was loud that you can't really have a conversation without screaming at each other! read more

We had a group of 11 people today, the staff was awesome, always asking if water refills were needed. Service was excellent. And my Spicy seafood jambalaya was awesome. Definitely recommend that dish. The wife had Mac n cheese, her favorite. read more

I have heard good things about this restaurant and they just opened up a location in Vernon Hills. Parking is ample and the restaurant is plain, modern and clean. Rocky the bartender was very friendly and she made the best lavender lemon drop martini I have ever had! The 20 oz ribeye with added grilled shrimp on a skewer was tasty with delicious mashed potatoes and grilled baby broccoli is plenty for 2 people. The complementary Oreo Brookie dessert for my special occasion was very good too. I will definitely come back for happy hour and try something different. read more

When I found out that Yard House was coming to Vernon Hills, I was ecstatic. I used to frequent the Yard House in The Glen back when I worked in the area but had not been there in a few years. The regular prices for entrees are imo a bit steep, but it's more or less commiserate with other similar restaurants in the area. If you happen to make it for Happy Hour though, the prices are relatively a great value. In my most recent visit to the Vernon Hills location, we ended up going in the evening on a Saturday and thus no happy hour. My friend and I tried the seared tuna burger, crispy brussel sprouts, poke nachos, and I had some slider dogs for Oktoberfest. Everything was enjoyable but the stand out for me was the seared tuna burger. It was not something I have had before. Typically anything in fish form and in a burger has always been fried for me. This was my first time trying a fish burger where that wasn't the case...and it was delicious! As you might expect, beers here are solid too. read more

first time coming to yard house I know they have a location in glenview as well however I have never been. I went over this valentines day weekend I really enjoyed my experience here. they have a lot of options on the menu. service was a bit on slower side but that was to be expected as it was a special weekend for many. I liked the big booths very comfort seating and I liked the music that was playing as well. Definitely ill be back again to try some new dishes. read more

My friend from out of state wanted to go to Yard House for her birthday, and it ended up being such a blast. We got there toward the end of happy hour, and the place was packed. We filled up on apps and had a few drinks, and even though it was a little loud, that's pretty expected for a booming open-bar restaurant. One thing I really appreciated was how helpful our server was with my gluten-free needs. They walked me through the menu, and I was pleasantly surprised by how many GF meal options they had that weren't just salads. Really the only downside is the parking, which can be a bit of a hunt, but the nearby garage definitely helps. Overall, great vibes, great service, and a solid spot to hang out. read more

I came in here for a Mommy/daughter lunch date with my 3 year old daughter and was very excited to see so many Gardein options available to sub - I just wish there were Gardein nugget options on the kids menu. I had the Nashville hot sandwich, with a Gardein patty. It was a bit oily for me, but the flavor was nice. The fries were perfection, and the children's Mac and cheese portion was HUGE. Solid leftovers for two more meals. Our server was attentive and friendly, and I loved the ease of paying directly from our table without needing to wave down the server. I am looking forward to returning to try the extensive beer list when I get to have an adult outing again. read more

Service and selection are what Yardhouse is known for but their food is excellent too. You can find something you like here for sure. I have been there a few times, since it is close to work, mostly for lunch. This time I had the Cheesesteak, called the House Cheesesteak. It was juicy and cheesy. It tasted like the bread was baked there too. I was in a group of 6 and we all agreed to return soon. The decor is nice too, clean and comfortable and beer related. Even the door handles are yards. read more

Ordered food for the 1st time here. Got the chicken Alfredo. The dish looked ok - small portion for $23.99 so I was a bit surprised. It comes with a side of cheese bread? I'm guessing that's what is on there. Completely burnt and soggy. The pasta was undercooked. Not even Al dente. Not much sauce and what was on there, had no flavor. Pretty bad for it being my first time here. read more

We drove by Yard House about two times after it opened and each time it looked like the parking lot was full. On this afternoon, the parking lot was about half full so we decided to take our chances. It was a lovely afternoon and we decided to eat inside instead of outside. We were seated promptly and ordered quickly. We split an order of Brussels sprouts and I picked the beer battered fish tacos. The fish were so crispy and light, not at all heavy or greasy and I decided that next time I would get the fish and chips. BTW the fish tacos were great -- and quite a generous portion -- along with beans and a side of rice. There's quite an extensive menu - so there's something for everyone. The staff was also friendly, and for a time, we had not one, but two wait staff ready to serve us. read more

The perfect place for happy hour! I went out with a group to check out the specials, which include 1/2 price appetizers and $2 discounts on drinks from 3-6 p.m. We ordered spinach dip, cheese pizza and mushroom pizza from the appetizer menu and assorted drinks. Everything was delicious. I especially loved the mushroom pizza and passion fruit spritz cocktail. Our server was friendly and attentive and made sure we didn't need to order anything else before happy hour deals ended. Overall, it was a great experience! read more

My friends and I just got back from a great meal at Yard House. The BBQ Chicken Salad was delicious and the chicken was especially flavorful. They offer an impressive selection of beverages, and their beers on tap are incredibly refreshing. The general manager, Joe, went out of his way to greet us and seated us in a great booth. Adriano was a friendly and attentive server and we truly enjoyed his service. He made sure everything was exactly as we ordered, and I would highly recommend requesting him. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

The standard vibe you'd expect from this kind of location. The service was mediocre I'd say - she didn't seem to understand our asks (or not care?), when ordering we had to repeat lost things and when serving the left it one the table (no "enjoy" or other friendly comments). Not to their drinks: we were up for cocktails today but their listed options on the menu are not overwhelming. I asked for a Negroni (repeated it twice, ended up spelling it for the waitress) but they couldn't do it. House margaritas cannot done "frozen" as they don't seem to have something to crush the ice The food was decent but we only tried the lettuce wraps as we were quite disappointed overall so left. I'd say there is ways to improve!! read more

We went for a later lunch and we were seated immediately. The restaurant was fairly busy at the time we were there. They played classic rock music in the background and had TVs with subtitles, but we were still able to hold a conversation easily. Our server, Samantha G, greeted us quickly and gave us sufficient time to review the menu and take our orders. She was friendly and attentive to our table. We enjoyed our drinks and the food was very tasty. read more

I've visited this new-ish Yard House location twice already. It's easily become a great spot for happy hour! The service has been stellar both times. SHOUT OUT TO KEIRRA FOR MY BIRTHDAY DESSERT! The food and drinks have been really good and you can't beat their happy hour specials. It's a great place for sharing - the chicken nachos are gigantic! Had to knock off a star for two reasons: 1) the parking lot fills up FAST. 2) the acoustics aren't great and it's pretty loud in the restaurant. I wouldn't recommend coming here for a quiet meal. All that said, I'm sure I'll be back and I'm excited to try out more of the menu! read more

This review is for Happy Hour! We had a holiday get together and met on a Friday aroud 3:30 , and it was crowded, but we were able to be seated. They have Happy Hour specials, half off some appetizers and pizza . We had the spinach dip and margherita pizza. The spinach dip was very good, creamy and cheesy. It was served with tortilla chips sprinkled with cheese. The Margherita pizza had halved cherry tomatoes, versus the traditional slices. It added a different twist, but they fell off with each bite. During Happy Hour Beer, Wine and Cocktails are $2 off. I had the Passion Fruit Spritz, it was refreshing but very sweet. Service was ok, we had to ask for water, additional drinks, and overall was non- attentive. The menu is very large and their drink options is extensive. read more

Yard House - New American Near Me - Vernon Hills, Illinois

The Yard House is a sports bar with a lively atmosphere, huge bar and restaurant offering indoor/outdoor seating and plenty of screens for watching sports. We waited about 30 minutes to be seated, was greeted by a friendly server, placed our order and received it about 40 minutes later. We were told the kitchen staff was new and the server apologized for the delay. Unfortunately, one of our orders was incomplete and the other was incorrect. We were starving so we ate what was served. Then, mistakenly an additional order of tacos was delivered, which was packed up for takeaway. We both ordered tacos, beans and rice, which were pretty tasty. We also tried a specialty cider and a few cocktails which we enjoyed. I'm hoping the Yard House crew just needs a few weeks to get the kinks out, because we would definitely return with friends for a fun night out! Beware, the parking lot doesn't accommodate the amount of patrons, so you may end up parking in the rear of the lot in the grass or either further in the Perry's restaurant lot. read more

This place is fantastic! Went in for half price apps and each one was outstanding. It's hard to find all apps to be great at a restaurant but here they were outstanding. The portion size was huge and can be easily split between 2-3 people. Our server was so attentive and professional. This place was packed and definitely a spot to go for a great meal! The only thing that could take a mark off is the music was a bit too loud. Will absolutely be coming back to eat through the menu. read more

This location recently opened close to me. I spent a half day on a Saturday in the office and decided to treat myself to a beer. The place was bustling but the server, Jenny quickly came by. The food I saw being taken to others looked really good. I'll have to come back to try. The apps menu looks good. Plenty of TVs...a good vibe & 90 bers on tap. I'll be back! After posting my review I had to add some additional comments. I saw so many unique food items coming out, I had to try the Blackened Ahi. Just like their pic on the menu. read more

I haven't been to the Yard House in forever. I was happy to learn this new location in Vernon Hills opened up close to me. We dined outdoors on a weekday for happy hour and it was a beautiful patio space! My sister and I split 2 appetizers that were half off - the chicken nachos and the sliders. They were huge and such a good deal! The nachos in particular were very impressive and loaded with chicken, cheese, salsa, sour cream, and guac. We could have fed 2 more people with the portion size. The service was good and we enjoyed our food. You really can't beat the happy hour here. read more

We had a team outing for happy hour. They do a have a separate GF menu but it's limited for a vegetarian. All their vegetarian options are not GF. I ordered a few apps however they did not bring out the food separately. They also placed the plates down on the table touching each other so I had to move them quickly. They also had GF crème brûlée which was quite good. read more

It was my first time there and it was disappointing. If I'm paying over $16 for spinach dip I don't expect it to be serve with poor quality tortilla chips. Really people? You can't serve it with fresh warm chips? Just cut up a few Milagros tortillas and toss them in the fryer. How hard can it be? Had a Margherita pizza the cheese was not "stretchy" because it wasn't hot when served. It was luke warm. Didn't look the like the one in the image another person posted. mom had Orange Chicken, it was too spicy for her. We sent it back asking them to make it less spicy, which they did. She scarfed it up. To end it all I had the Bread Pudding. That was yummy, yummy in my tummy. Service after our food was delivered was slow. I fell asleep. read more

We've been to Yard House before but at out of state locations. This was our first visit here in Vernon Hills. We really like Yard House and had a great visit. We arrived on a sunny Friday afternoon around 4:30 and the place was really jammed. Luckily they had a table for us on the patio area but mostly with a roof overhead so the sun did not blind anyone. We had half price appetizers as it was Happy Hour, and got a couple of bucks off of beers. We had Brussel sprout and calamari appetizers before getting a Mergherita pizza. We also ordered Founder's Nitrous Rubaeus beer which is a raspberry fruit beer and some local craft beers. Service, food, and beer were great and we will definitely be back! read more

Good service and great addition to the new area of VH. Easy access at the bar and food is solid.

The food was absolutely delicious! Our waiter, Simone was just a delight. She was beyond outstanding. Thank you Simone!

Overall the restaurant is great the only problem is the level of noise. It makes it almost impossible to speak to anyone joining you for a meal. I would love to bring business associates for lunch or dinner however you could not have a conversation. My guess yard house will not tone it down. Hope they pay attention. Other that that it is a good addition to vernon Hills. read more

Terrible service - after two drinks you are cut off. Rude staff, overcharging for food you never ordered.

Happy hour is always a good deal, and their appetizers are very well made. Poke nacho does not disappoint, still as good as I remembered nearly a decade ago. Fried calamari batter was light and the squid is not overcooked; the companied sauces were also flavorful but not overwhelming. I liked the red sauce more than the creamy one. Lettuce wrap was not bad too, a little too sweet for my flavor profile but ingredients were fresh, and the portion was just right. Margherita pizza was also really good, they don't drizzle balsamic which I'm totally fine with. Tomatoes were just fresh cherry tomatoes not sun dried but that's ok. I think the basil was fine too even tho I'd prefer it chopped more fine, but I can see how the herb smell could be too strong for some people. The thickness of the dough and degree of toasted-ness was just right in my opinion. The passion fruit mocktail is not part of the happy hour deal, found out the hard way. Could've asked before I ordered. It was fine, but not worth $7. Server and atmosphere were great. It was also easy to add additional orders in the device ourselves. Overall, a pretty pleasant experience. read more
