Spicy Jambalaya with noddles
Kyla G.

The ahi tuna nachos my sister loved. My jambalaya was not tasty lacked seasoning sent back. Had the pepperoni pizza was good. Service was ok little slow. Place had a heavy wait time and didn't call to say it's your turn instead sent a text saying ur removed from the list.

This was my first time at Yard House and will certainly be my last at this location. I came with a coworker during our lunch today. We sat at the bar and placed our orders. It wasn't packed at all, but it still took over 20 minutes for anything to come out (our food came out before our drinks), and I think it's only because the manager came to check on us. I ordered traditional wings, but I received boneless. When I told our server, Tenai, there was no apology or remorse, just a look at the receipt saying it said traditional. The wings were decent, but not what I wanted, but I had to take them due to time. My coworker asked for some garlic aioli sauce to go, and even that was met with a sigh, like she was being asked for so much. When we asked for the check, I was still being charged for the traditional wings. This should have been rectified way before us getting the check. It was eventually fixed, but good customer service is severely lacking at the bar.

Flight of beer
Taryn C.

I'm not going to lie, I've been to Yard Houses before but this one is the best one I've been to. They handled a busy waitlist amazingly with their text system and estimates being very accurate. They have a great upstairs area which was perfect for the evening. The bar was busy but rightfully so. The food was delicious and I loved the flight of beer that I had. They were local brews that tasted awesome! Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Poke Nachos

Their happy hour deals are really great but it can get pretty busy and take a while to get service. I got the poke nachos which were delicious. I'll definitely be back for happy hour again.

Midnight sangria (red wine + remy)
Donyiel C.

Good for big groups! Over the last few months I've been in for happy hour with at least 10 and they were able to easily accommodate us. The happy hour specials are good. Not many happy hours around these days so it's nice to see this place thriving! I recently had the midnight sangria (red wine + remy). I only had one! It was nice and strong! Select apps are 50% off. I tried the sliders - comes with 4 and a side of fries. Definitely a great deal. I couldn't even finish them all. Our two servers were great. I only remember Naimah's name, but thank you both for your great service. It's so easy to pay on the app with the split check!

I've been here numerous times and its typically for happy hour and then other times it's very late at night. One important note is that there is no happy hour on game nights across the way at the arena and that's a shame. That's reason for one automatic star loss. There's mad events at Capital One Arena and for them to just cancel happy hour because something is happening down the street is nasty corporate America work. Now on to the food. It's always pretty good. I've never had a bad experience here. The bartenders are normally very engaging so that brings up the experience. Always try to get a seat at the bar because it's the most interesting. Table experiences remind you of just a regular casual dining experience.

Crispy Traditional Wings - Buffalo
Guillermo G.

Fun atmosphere. Great beer and food. We enjoyed the Firecracker Shrimp, Buffalo Wings, and of course, the 20oz Bone-in Ribeye was fantastic.

We were able to snag a table for two on a Thursday night. The service was a bust - the waitress seemed to be distracted and it took her quite a while to come around to take our orders (we were sharing apps and later learned we could've just done it ourselves on the tablet that was on the table). We shared the onion ring tower, queso dip, boneless wings and fries. My thoughts: Onion ring tower: came with two sauces, one of them was supposed to ranch but it was a bit flavorless. The onion rings had a nice batter and the portion could easily be shared with a bigger party. The boneless wings are fries were decent, nothing noteworthy. The wings did come with the same flavorless ranch sauce as the onion rings. The queso dip was a huge portion, could also be shared with a bigger party. It came with both chips and tortillas which was completely unexpected. The dip was the star of the show for me it terms of appetizers. It had a great flavor.

Queso dip
Chris T.

We came here for a quick bite before we headed out to the game. We didn't have a wait time and the staff got us seated fairly quickly. The ambiance was yard house, since they are a chain restaurant. Our waitress was busy between us and a few other tables and the bar took awhile to make our drinks. Moving along to the food I wish we knew we could order our food sooner, we could've saved our waitress some time by putting the app orders in (which is all we ate) besides a side of fries. The queso dip was great of course and dipping the fries in there was also a good mix. The buffalo wings were absolutely tossed in the sauce and you could taste the heat of the buffalo. The onion ring tower was a hit as always because they were battered so well with that little chipotle sauce. Now the pineapple spritz drink was not that good as far as comparing to other hard houses I've been too. So that was disappointing. All in all, we got a lot of food pretty quickly and the price was good.

good food! everything we had was really good so i would defo go back and i thought it was a good value too! cute sports bar esque environment

Came here with coworkers during a conference last week and still think about some of the appetizers! The cornbread was absolutely delicious and the deviled eggs were as well. The winter beer was outstanding and everyone enjoyed their entrées. It was really crowded with a private event, but we were able to be seated at a snug table pretty quickly. Our server was fantastic and the ambience was perfect.

Renee H.

Soooo.... we lucked up and it was restaurant week in DC and this is where we stopped for lunch. You know how it goes, one price for three courses and it was worth it. The server and the restaurant was a whole vibe. Super friendly and extremely helpful. Really enjoyed the food dishes. Went with a friend so we ordered different foods to try it out and nothing disappointed.

Our server was wonderful and had wonderful food and wine recommendations. We landed on the pickle plate, little gem salad, grilled bread, gnocchi, and chicken. The pickle plate and grilled bread are both must haves. There's a little bit of everything and it's a great compliment to everything on the menu. The salad and hamachi were also delicious. Both were fresh with some bright and unique flavors. I had the gnocchi and the sauce was so tasty with the asparagus cooked perfectly. The chicken was extremely tender and came with a sticky rice accompaniment, which paired so well. We sat on the patio and it was wonderful. The weather was perfect and would highly recommend.

Great local bar with large rotating craft beer selection. Highly recommend for any beer…read moreenthusiast. They have wine and cocktails as well. They are happy to recommend beer for your taste, and let you sample. It can be very busy and difficult to get a seat at the bar or get a table on a Friday or Saturday evening. We ordered food, and were expecting elevated bar food. The tater tots were a huge disappointment- they were very large squares , bland, and not crispy. The wings were okay. The cheeseburgers were the best- from the restaurant downstairs- mallard. Huge burger, done perfectly medium.

I visited as part of the full experience -- dinner downstairs at Birch & Barley, then up to Churchkey for drinks -- and honestly, it's one of the best evenings I've had in DC. Churchkey itself is everything a great bar should be. The beer selection is absolutely unreal -- hundreds of carefully curated labels spanning every style, region, and flavor profile you can imagine. What sets it apart is that the staff actually knows the menu. Our server walked us through a few options based on what we liked and landed us on perfect picks both times. That kind of genuine expertise is rare. The tavern pizzas from the wood-fired oven were a wonderful surprise -- thin, crispy, and the perfect companion to a cold draft. The smash burger also deserves a mention: simple, well-executed, and hits the spot. The vibe is warm and lively without being overwhelming. Great for a date, a group, or even just sitting at the bar solo with a good beer and good conversation with the bartender. This place has earned its reputation as one of the best beer bars on the East Coast -- and then some. Highly recommend making a full night of it with both floors. You won't regret it. Feel free to adjust the tone or add any personal details from your actual visit!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Have you ever been to a high end place and ordered a burger? You get that look like ordering steak…read moreat a great seafood place. Well I do enjoy burgers and plenty of places have upped their burger game. As much as it cost for a burger at certain fast food places you might as well hit up some of these other places. The prices are basically the same now. On a few trips to Capital Grille I did go with the burger and so I decided to check out its affiliate Capital Burger. Capital Burger actually has more burger options to choose for over Capital Grille and a more slimmed down menu. Still with the name burger in its name, you know where their focus is. I went with the bacon cheeseburger that comes with candied smoke bacon that came at $22 with your chose of sides (fries or various salads). It was cooked to the perfect medium rare and you can tell when a burger is cooked with better ingredients and cooked with a give a damn. It was not thrown together, and the fries were not just sitting under a heating lamp. I actually ordered a to go burger for the spouse. Here is where customer service comes in. I was asked how far I had to travel and the person taking my order said she will separate portions so it will travel better. Thank you. It is that little extra that goes a long way. This time I went with the Capital Burger to go along with some key lime pie to nibble on later. Great service and great food. There are plenty of good burger places but if you are a burger fan then definitely check this place out. Absolutely no disappointment. For a true high end burger experience I have no problem giving this place a solid five stars.
