I love Yard House! The menu has a little bit of everything, and the food is always fresh and full of flavor. The beer selection is massive, with so many options it's hard to choose. It's my go-to spot for catching up with friends or just grabbing a good meal.

Massive selection of beer. The service was quick and the food was good. The lobster pasta is my favorite but it seems to be made with a lower quality of lobster that tastes more like canned or minced meat. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant dining experience and I will go back again. read more

Yard House - Lobster Garlic Noodles - New American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I had a good time at Yardhouse last night! I went for a private event, so this review might be slightly skewed compared to an everyday visit. They have a HUGE beer selection, and while that can be slightly overwhelming, the bartenders are really good at giving recommendations & letting you try a couple before deciding on one to order. We also were treated to a buffet of their food - all of which was solid (if not better than average) bar food. They had a varied menu ranging from tofu lettuce wraps to margherita pizza to firecracker shrimp. Everything was tasty! Table service was decent (waiters would walk by and check in fairly frequently), but it's a lot faster to just get drinks from the bar. It was surprisingly difficult to get a water - however (ended up having to snag glasses ourselves). I would like to go back and visit this place on a "regular" night!

Came to this location of the Yard House for the first time for lunch on a weekend. Hubby and I ordered a couple of drinks, the Wisconsin cheese curds appetizer, poke salad, and bleu cheese burger. Total came out to approximately $86 (not including tip). What's hot - Quality. Delish! All our orders were great. The cheese curds were delicious and not overly breaded. The hot honey and horseradish aioli added a nice extra kick. My husband ordered his burger medium and it was cooked very well. My poke salad had a nice amount of ahi tuna, avocado, edamame, roe, and seaweed salad. All our food was well-seasoned and not overly salty. - Menu variety. Something for everyone- veggies, meats, seafood, drinks, etc.... - Layout. Given that it's DC, the space is pretty good. They have a nice open bar with many tvs there, as well. They have many booths that are deep, which can seat 6-8 people, which is helpful. - Price. Moderately priced and pretty good value for money. My poke salad was approximately $21. The most expensive item on our tab was a mixed drink, which was around $13, which surprised us as to how much one mixed drink ended up being. - Service. Pretty good, especially when it's busy. This place was pretty packed and service was still pretty reliable and attentive. What's not - Noise level. We were here on a Sunday afternoon and it was incredibly loud inside, to the point it was difficult to hear each other, even though we were sitting right next to each other. I point this out for others to be mindful of this when there may be a special sports event going on or whatever else. The noise carries very easily in this place. - Price. To be fair, most of their menu items are reasonably priced. However, one of our mixed drinks was $13 just for the drink. Something to be mindful of, because your tab can run up quickly depending on exactly what you're ordering. Final answer Would be willing to come back to this location, but will be mindful of the date and time. read more

This place is a great atmosphere to watch sports! The food is so good. Blackened ahi sashimi, crispy original wings, cheese curds, truffle fries, calamari and lava cake were all so good. Our servers were great. We stayed for an entire baseball game & they checked in the perfect amount of time. read more

Been in D.C. for ten months supporting the Peace Vigil in front of the White House, for the 16th time since June of 1991. Lodging free at Adam's Place Homeless Shelter. Otherwise, living on the Social Security at age 75. Obviously, I needed a break!! So, I dropped into the Yard House...WOW!...Hendrix performing All Along the Watchtower was on the sound system...enjoyed two pints of Seattle's Elysian Brewing's Space Dust IPA, plus a well deserved shot of Glenlivet's 14 year old. I love you Yard House, and will be back soon. Craig Louis Stehr read more

The service was very friendly and the chicken lettuce wraps were DELICIOUS with the sauces.

Ate here twice in the same week, excellent service and food is plentiful. The grilled cheese snd soup is awesome. so is the chicken tenders with fries, I had enough for 2 meals! read more

I'm a regular here and their happy hours are ADDICTIVE! I've also visited them after hours when coming home from the club and it's always good. Did I mention that their happy hour starts at 3pm?! Get there! Ambiance: this spot is live and a great place to catch a game, mingle at the bar and simply chill. Singles...it's also a good place to find a friend lol don't say I never told you so. Drinks: their happy hour prices are 1/2 off so I normally get wine or a cocktail and I've never had any complaints and always leave satisfied. Food: my go to items are traditional wings, chicken tenders and sliders with bbq sauce on the side (SO TASTY!) I normally get either of these because hey, I'm mostly there for the drinks but these menu items are given in large portions and they're so good! Warning: wings are NOT served on the happy hour menu. Overall, I truly appreciate this bar. I didn't mention service because honestly service can be a hit or miss. I've sadly had a few misses because my servers have either left me waiting for the bill for a longggggg time, overcharged me, or messed up my order. Of course after speaking with them about it they accommodated for the inconvenience but I wouldn't say that service is anything to rave about-the food and drinks are. Happy hour prices: you'll probably spend around $10-25 depending on what you purchase and that of course speaks to the total for drinks and the selection of food on the menu. Regular menu: you'll definitely pay more than $15 for a single appetizer. read more

Yard House - Classic Sliders - New American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Normally I don't have high expectations chain restaurants. But this location was quite good. For a DC restaurant it is quite large with two levels. While we waited for the rest of our group to arrive we got drinks at the bar. The bartender was cordial and gave us our drinks promptly. I got a mojito and it was mixed well. When the rest of our group came we were seated at a large table. There were some hiccups with everyone getting all of their food. But at least all the appetizers came out promptly so no one was left without food. I personally had no issues with my food. It came out in a timely manner and came hot. I got a carne asada taco and a shrimp taco. These were some of the best tacos I've had in a restaurant. They were not skimpy on the stuffing either. Rice was well seasoned. They were good enough that I ordered another. We shared a plate of chips and salsa, which was ok. The salsa was good. But the chips were just regular tortilla chips that tasted like what you can buy from a grocery store. As with most DC restaurants, there is no dedicated parking. You will either have to find street parking or a garage. There is no validation. read more

I went to this Yardhouse after an event. We decided to stop here after being in another event. There is street parking however we moved around in scooters. The place is pretty deem as most are. very clean and super busy. We sat at the bar which avoided a waiting for 20 minutes for a table. Place was pretty packed. We were able to 2 seats at the bar and ordered some mules. Every time I go to a Yard House my go to is always the lettuce wrap. It was warm chicken 3 sauces and fresh lettuce. read more

This was my first time to the DC location and I was definitely not disappointed. I got the Whiskey glazed salmon and it was delicious. I don't even like cooked carrots but the way they prepared them, I even liked those. Our server was very friendly, attentive, and helpful. Don't forget dessert! The brookie is amazing! The pictures don't give it justice. It is thick, rich, and moist, and can easily feed 2 people. read more

I came in at 1030pm on a Saturday and waited about 25-30 min max! I had very fast and great service. The Ahi was well prepared the dish overall was a 4.5. All it needs is a bit more crunch so throw some onion crisps on there for us! Thank y'all! read more

Yard House - Ahi Tuna Entree - New American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I love Yardhouse and try to visit one in whatever city Im in. This one was pretty typical. There were plenty of staff on hand to assist and seat customers. I ordered my usual cheese curds and half-size jambalaya with brown rice. The curds were a little underdone in my opinion. Usually they are a nice crisp golden color but these were kind of pale. The jambalaya was great, no complaints there. I went on a Saturday afternoon, so unfortunately no Happy Hour specials but go Mon-Fri 3p-6pm and take advantage of deep discount specials for drinks and apps. read more

Their happy hour is good, but their lobster garlic noodle was not. While the lobster tails were large size, the noodle was more salty than spicy, and I don't think it was that flavorful. read more

Decent pub food, nice selection of beers all in all a good place for lunch or happy hour.

They were so happy to have our laps. They were so happy for a girlfriend's night out! Good night drinks on our laps.

This was a good experience at Yard House in Chinatown and my second good experience at a Yard House chain. My friends and I dined here after our first restaurant choice didn't pan out well. We left that place and prior to arriving at Yard House I called the restaurant to ask if I needed to make reservation to which I was informed I did not and even better there was no wait time to be seated. Excited, my friends and seized the opportunity and lucked in a back corner booth table under a television. A party of four on a busy Saturday evening didn't seem to impact quality of food or service. Our waiter was very efficient. Despite not being friendly he was very efficient in taking our order, going over menu items with us, showing us how to order food and drinks using the table tablet, and waiting on us in general. At 7:30pm on a Saturday evening I assumed his lack of friendly behavior was the bi-product of a long work day which made me think his efficient was even more impressive. The food was delicious and typical good quality bar food. My second experience at Yard House and I can say the food quality is consistent across the chain. This place is known for their vast array of fine brews however the food has as good a reputation. Maybe too many brew options for my liking and so much it was difficult to order some of them on the table tablet simply because it was difficult to locate some of them amongst all of the available options. We ended up ordering our drinks with the waiter. We ordered the following menu items, all of which was delicious: Buffalo Wings Chicken Nachos Seared Ahi Sashimi Bleu Cheese & Bacon Burger Beer Battered Fish & Chips Drinks: Strawberry Mojito Old 43 (Old Fashioned) Yuengling House Belgian White Stone Tangerine Express Overall a good experience and I will definitely visit again. Give them a try. read more

Reason 125 to avoid downtown restaurants: Went there on a Wednesday afternoon (4pm) for happy hour but only when I asked for the check was I advised that happy hour is SUSPENDED whenever Capital One Arena has an event going on. DISAPPOINTED at the fact that there was no signage or word from staff about this policy. They have to do better. read more

Good food, good service, and yard long beer. Pretty much why I come to this place before Caps games.

The food was excellent and the staff were very attentive and helpful. We would recommend this eatery to anyone

We had great service and really good food. Wonderful lively atmosphere! The Avacodo Toast was a highlight, very fresh and flavorful. The Mac & Cheese portion was HUGE, delicious and filling. read more

Overall- a very enjoyable time at this bustling spot in Chinatown. Popped in for Happy Hour and was wowed by the unexpected gems on the half price appetizer menu. Poke nachos, ahi sashimi and classic sliders were all delicious. I cannot get over the poke nachos being on the HH menu- SCORE!!! I will be Lyft-ing back over soon for them! :) The Lavender Drop Martini and Southern Rush cocktail were delicious with surprising attention to detail for such a casual spot. The chardonnay choices were good... served perfectly chilled (so many places struggle with that). The service was interesting. Jeff was our bartender/server and was professional, personable, attentive and knowledgeable. Most of the bartenders were friendly and professional. There were a few groups of employees hanging out with each other... one group right next to us... with one yelling across the bar to a bartender. They were having a good time and that's cool. The loud swearing and how long it went on seemed odd. Didn't bother us, but it did make me wonder about their policies/management a bit... you know... if that is happening out front, what's happening in the kitchen... LOL. No stars off from me because the food, drinks and service were outstanding. Recommend for a visit - just be prepared for noise and maybe sit far from the bar area with kids or if you aren't cool with a little employee rowdiness- LOL. read more

Simply incredible! The service, the ambiance, and OH MY LORD, THE FOOD, can only be described as one of the absolute best spots I've experienced in all my years as a native washingtonian. The staff were beyond polite and professional. From the initial greeting, where we were energetically received with smile, and without a reservation, until the moment my family and I took our leave, the staff was amazing. There are NO words to describe the Yard House's spectacular cuisine. With a full house of patrons, we barely waited for any of the dishes ordered to be served. The food was so incredible that I completely forgot to order an adult beverage. Now, that's a first! I could go on for a while describing my Yard House experience. But, I'll let you judge for yourself. So make a reservation, or just drop by. I can almost guarantee that you will not be disappointed. read more

Great food, good service, nice place very busy as a result. Screens with sports and good music on. Highly recommend for nicer dinner out!

Just around the corner from our hotel! We stopped here for dinner and a drink. Our server, Kayla, was super sweet, informative, and attentive. We ordered drinks off the kiosk on the table since there were too many options to choose from and we needed time. Unfortunately, many of the house cocktails include agave or tequila, which I am allergic to. So I got a Jack and Ginger. It was yummy. Not to strong or too week. My sister also got a drink, Mojito maybe. No complaints. Kayla was back to take our order...BBQ cheddar burger and an avocado chicken sandwich. I'll say my burger was a bit dry but overall very good. Fries awesome, but those sweet potato fries were even better! Thin and crispy. I wish I had gotten those. Chicken sandwish mustve been good since there was nothing left on the dish! Fun paintings on the walls, tvs with sports, lots of local beer on tap. Good choice! read more

Yard House - New American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Whewww, this was a disappointment! Im not a fan of spending money on food I don't enjoy. The restaurant is more of a sports bar vibe, which is cool. Service was good! Now to the food - we ordered whisky/black pepper wings and Korean chili garlic wings. They were very much just OK. The actual chicken had no flavor and the sauces were underwhelming. The Caesar salad had a foul aftertaste and was sent back shorty after receiving it. The lettuce was wilted and the dressing was not a good quality caesar. The cheesesteak tasted like straight up cheese whiz. No flavor from the beef, just an overpowering flavor of cheese and bread. The onion straws were good though. The restaurant kind of had a smell to it, and the bathrooms being upstairs is a bit inconvenient. I do not see myself coming back here. read more

I haven't been to this yard house in a few years due to last bad experience (review). Have been to other Yard House locations between the east and west coast during this time though and had several good experiences. Well, I let the marketing department do their thing and decided to give this location a try again after I was sent a birthday promo. Alas, another underwhelming experience. Long delays between seeing the waitress, who wasn't all together with it. Food that didn't come out time and this resulted in fries that were cold. In the end, the bill came and my birthday dessert was on the bill instead of the promo being used. The waitress corrected, but didn't seem to care that she didn't know what she was doing. It is too bad this location is so bad, as Yard House is one on my favorite places when visiting cities outside D.C. As for this location, good job corporate marketing on swaying me in, but I will wait another few years before trying this location again. read more

We took an 10 minute uber ride here, and were able to get seated after waiting 10 minutes without a reservation. It popped up as a nearby restaurant and I've been wanting to try it for quite sometime. (Oh yeah it was a Friday evening) It definitely gives bar vibes opposed to nice restaurant vibes, but no complaints at all. Had I not had a little one, I would had sat at the bar. If you're into beer, this if your spot. Oh, our waitress ALICE, was AWESOME!!!!!! We will definitely be back, the food was definitely A1. We ordered the Orange Chicken and the jambalaya (with pasta), my little one had the cheese pizza and fries, and LOTS of chocolate milk lol. When we were finished with our meal, we paid on the table kiosk, very convenient. Will definitely be back!!! Thanks Alice!!! read more

I came with my work team on a Wednesday night, and it was really crowded. I must commend the service that night. Our server was very patient and super nice. We ordered a ton of food - the nachos, sliders (which come with fries), truffle fries, some wings. All the food was very good, and no complaints there. Interestingly we ordered two different wings - buffalo and lemon pepper. The buffalo wings were bone-in, lemon pepper was boneless. When my colleague was asked "which size would you like your beer?" He replied "the largest you have". Indeed it was quite large - the Half Yard size !!! (Look it up if you're interested). It was very difficult to drink out of but very amusing and fun to watch my friend drink throughout the rest of the night. A great place for a sit-down happy hour and great bar food/ good beers. read more
