Yard House

Ive been wanting to try out Yard House for a long while and wanted the whole experience. It can definitely get pricey, but I wanted to try as much as I could and have a proper experience. Id definitely come back here for their happy hour. I was impressed with the ambiance of the restaurant and it was pretty lively, especially after happy hour. They have a great selection of beers, and was a happy camper with one of the local hazy IPAs. My girl got a fruity drink and it was pretty good; it was blended well and tasted great. The poke nachos were delicious. It had the right amount of garnish that really set the expectations for food. We decided on going for pastas for taste, but honestly thought it was okay. I wish we had more tableside seasoning to help make the meal. I got the lobster pasta, and thought the taste was okay. It definitely needed more flavor and I thought it was needing more of something. The lobsters quality was also not the best, despite it apparently being a best seller. My girlfriend got the chicken fettuccine and it was the typical taste of a chain restaurant-- which isnt to say it was bad, but it wasn't anything amazing either. The chicken tortilla soup tasted great and could be added on for 5 bucks to your entree. We also had the cheesecake and we honestly thought it tasted better than cheesecake factory. I think the caramelized glaze just set it over the top for us. Id definitely come back for drinks and appetizers during happy hour, but I think the menu does have room for improvement. If corporate is serious about getting their food to the next level, for a little bit more effort you guys can definitely have something. Maybe add bussers and barbacks to help alleviate service in the restaurant and help expedite and elevate the guest experience. Id give yard house a chance again and still enjoyed my experience. Theres a lot of leg room that could help elevate the experience and set the standard for a staple restaurant in the vb area (which is seriously lacking in my opinion).

Hands down one of my fav happy hour spots! Decided to go to their late night happy hour after 10 PM. It seemed like it was packed inside, but we didn’t have a wait time at all. Server was friendly and attentive. I decided to try the Classic Sliders (8.5/10) the flavor was great, they were just a little on the dry side to me. Had to get some ranch for them. The Parmesan Truffle Fries (10/10) delicious. To drink I ordered the Sunset Sangria (9/10) I liked the taste overall. Lots of other items on the menu I still want to try that sounded delicious, so I’ll def be back again during happy hour. Good vibes and food here! My overall rate of experience : 9/10

I was skeptical coming here because its been years. The prices were just too high. This time I was pleasantly surprised. I had a family gathering and the prices were reasonable and selections were plenty. I'll definitely come back.

We went to this restaurant yesterday, and it was nothing but amazing! Our waitress was amazing and friendly, our food came very fast and everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Were very bummed its over an hour drive away from us but its definitely worth making a trip for! If you go, make sure you get the truffle fries!!

Everything was so delicious! Our waiter had a couple big parties but he did great and I loved the way the whole staff worked together to get our food and drinks out since our waiter was busy. We had the spicy tuna stack which was probably my favorite thing of the night! Then for our entrees we had the Nashville fried hot chicken (something along those lines) and would definitely get again and the Szechuan crispy beef noodles, super good but really spicy so I wouldn’t order again. I guess the only thing I wish is my server would have made me aware of that but it could have said and I just over looked it so who knows. But will definitely be back.
