Spring break means errands and mom and son lunch out, in the middle of a Wednesday! I have quite the picky eater with me 99% of the time so I don't get to go where I want 99% of the time. But that's to one of the biggest kids menus I've seen, I was able to talk my son into some real restaurant food and not fast food for lunch. It was not busy at all. The hostess was really friendly and so was our waiter. We were immediately sat and given waters. I went with the poke salad and it was so good! Very filling and a lot bigger than it seems in the photo. The amount of tuna was great,they definitely did not short me on my dish. My son got the kids cheese pizza and he was very impressed by the stringiness of the cheese. It also came with a decent amount of fries and fruit. He also loved the dragon fruit lemonade. The lighting was a bit dark but the music was great and my son enjoyed watching the Dodgers play on one screen and music videos on another. Definitely going back soon! read more

Came here for dinner and there wasn't much a wait on a Monday after work. The iced water tasted.. odd. It had a weird after taste - hard to describe. The food itself (My fave Truffle Cheeseburger) was good. I asked for a lettuce wrap and it came with a bun :(.. so I was a bit disappointed. The bathroom was horrible. One stall wasnt flushed properly. Two stalls had no toilet paper, so there was only working stall with toilet paper. read more

I had a good time ! I came late so they had a late night happy hour. $2 off my cocktail. They have an amazing happy hour though Mon-fri 3-6. I got the ahi tuna appetizer . It was delicious. I really enjoyed the sauce and I like that they had ginger and tomato garnish under it and some radish pieces. I thought it was overall really good and I like the thickness of it. It wasn't too thick. It wasn't too thin and then I also ordered the lavender lemon drops and that was a pretty good drink. It comes with Tito's vodka, which I like and it was a nice refreshing cocktail. My son ordered the sliders and for a kids portion. It was pretty big came with french fries pickles and he seems to like them. read more

The staff here is hands-down the best I've experienced at any Yard House, and honestly some of the best I've seen at this level of dining. From start to finish, every interaction was exceptional. We chose to sit at the bar since we enjoy seeing what drinks others are ordering and asking questions about anything that catches our eye. The bartenders were fantastic knowledgeable, approachable, and happy to answer questions. At one point my wife needed to use the restroom, and they even offered to walk her over so she wouldn't miss it, which was a really thoughtful touch. We ordered the queso dip during happy hour, and as usual, Yard House's happy hour menu did not disappoint. It's generous, well-priced, and hard to go wrong with. Overall, an outstanding experience driven by truly great staff. read more

Tip! Join the wait list on the app for minimal waiting. I was going in the middle of Happy Hour, joined the waitlist from my house(takes 23 min to get there) table was waiting for us as soon as we walked in, and there were so many people waiting. Its giving Landrys member vibes... Anyway. Went for the half price appetizers and pizza amd of course the gluten free options for the kiddo. Our waitress name was Lyric, how precious is that? I asked her for the best pizza and she suggested the Mushroom Truffle! Lyric is the goat! It was an amazing pizza. The crust was thin and crisp, mushrooms delicious and that truffle sauce, chefs kiss. The poke nachos always hits, freshest ingredients, never disappoints. The hummus was nice and flavorful but I would ask for the pitas to maybe be a but more crisp as they seemed a bit more soft and chewy than I like. The kid loves her gluten free burger and fries and of course a 1.99 ice cream sunday. She's a sucker for ice cream. The atmosphere waa lively with a mix of people from all walks of life. Music and videos played, sports were playing. There really is something for everyone. I volunteer to Yardhouse with you anytime!! read more

We recently dined in for the first time. Yard House has been in Bakersfield for about 5yrs and even though I probably pass this place almost everyday I never made it out til recently. I didn't know what to expect when coming in because I figured it's gonna be a similar atmosphere like the neighboring restaurants and it was. They have music playing overhead kind of loud, but I'm all for it. They're rocking out to a lot of 90s R&B so I can definitely get down with that . Service was okay. The staff was nice, we didn't interact with staff a whole lot, but our experience was still great. The restaurant is clean which is a plus! I also didn't really know the types of food on their menu, but I did notice they have a lot of Asian menu items which was up my alley haha. My husband always tells me I always pick Asian restaurants hence the fact that I'm Asian, but it's not true.... I like all kinds of places. I definitely wanna try other things on their menu. So far from everything I have tried, I haven't eaten anything I didn't like. I'm actually impressed I have liked everything here which is very rare. I plan to come back and try other items here. If you haven't tried them out yet, I recommend you check them out for yourself! :-) read more

Ordered some food to go, curbside pickup. Checked in, waited 10 minutes, no one came out. As I sat in my vehicle, contemplating life, observing passers by, sulking in my sorrows, flirting with my brand new bottle of absinthe, an intense feeling of defeat and disappointment came over me. I have been struggling to see the good in humanity for some time now. What a sad existence we all lead. The longest 10 minutes passed before my man called the restaurant to tell them we were here. Seconds later, Nate comes out, our order in hand, a smile on his face. Nate seems happy. There must be hope still. Thank you, Nate. read more

I always loved Yard House I think it's the best option to go to if you're deciding where to eat near riverwalk. I've always had excellent customer service , especially today our server was so sweet and patient with us and she even brought us refills on drinks even when we didn't ask, brought multiple dipping sauces for us to try, and always checked on us but not too much. The food is amazing. Their Mac and cheese is so flavorful. Their alcoholic drinks are always top tier. I just have nothing negative to say. Even paying is easy for not only us but the servers as well. Will always keep coming back. read more

We stopped by on a Sunday evening with a group of six. Ruby, the hostess, warmly greeted us and added us to the waitlist. She estimated a 30-minute wait for a table, which was quite accurate. After a few minutes Kirsten greeted us. She informed us that our server was busy but they worked as a team so she would get us started. Kirsten was incredibly friendly and promptly brought our drinks. Not long afterwards Holly, our server, arrived to take our food orders. She was just as pleasant and efficient. We kicked things off with the spicy edamame, which is a must for our group. Perfect level of heat, super flavorful, and gone way too fast. I opted for a smoked old fashioned cocktail, which is my go-to drink when I'm not trying one of their many draft beers. For my main course, I decided to try the bleu and bacon burger. It was exactly as described. The meat was cooked to my desired temperature, and the bacon was crispy. The only downside was that my vegetarian friend ordered Gardein wings but received chicken instead. This has unfortunately happened to her multiple times at this restaurant. She now makes me try her food first whenever we dine here to ensure she's doesn't get meat on accident. All that said, solid service, great drinks, and food that keeps us coming back. Just hoping they tighten things up a bit on the vegetarian orders. read more

I come to yard house often, this time I decided to try something new. The food came out quickly as always no matter how busy it is!

Always a good time when I come! read more

Who needs a special occasion to dine at Yard House? Just a random Thursday night and decided to treat ourselves. We must've showed up just in time, because it started off pretty mellow but gradually got busier as the night progressed. Our waiter was low energy, but friendly enough. He ended up being one of those waiters that occasionally checks in, but he's never around when you need him. We of course had to start with the garlic edamame This is like crack to me Absolutely addictive and always super tasty. The sauce is outstanding, so good. I love ahi tuna but had never tried it here, so I decided to sample that tonight too. So glad I did. Beautiful looking appetizer, and so tender and savory, and delicious. I was tempted to try something new, but ultimately ended up going with my go-to. (Spicy Garlic Beef Noodles) I always enjoy this dish because it's not super saucy, and even for a sissy like me it's not too spicy. Unfortunately tonight, it didn't land well. While the flavor was still very good, the dish was overall very dry. To finish the night we shared an order of the cheesecake brûlée and an Oreo Brookie. The cheesecake brûlée is always a treat! If you haven't tried it, you must. So good, nice and creamy texture. The Oreo Brookie is also very good. Not too sweet but no less delicious. Shoutout to Yard House for not just serving delicious dishes, but contributing artistically, beautiful looking plates read more

Yard House continues to meet our expectations with food, service, and mood. Treated my family to a nice dinner and were told that it would be a 15 minute wait which isn't bad at all! However, to our surprise, our table was ready within a minute or so. It was Oktoberfest and so I urged my brother to try one of the Oktoberfest beers! He was able to try most of them and liked the Weigen Festbier! For food we got the fried calamari and bbq wings for my mom, whiskey glazed salmon for myself, and the 8 oz steak for my brother. My mom loved how breaded and fresh the calamari was! The whiskey glazed salmon also tasted really good, it was soft and flavorful! My brother, who goes crazy for steak, mentioned that while the flavor profile was good - the steak was a little dry. However, the mashed potatoes on both of our plates were so so good! read more

My partner and I came on a weekend evening for dinner and to catch the game. It was very crowded and lively inside, but we decided to sit at the bar. I got the Thai grilled pork chop and we shared the onion ring tower. The onion rings were delicious - very crispy outside and super flavorful. The Thai pork chop was well cooked and tasted great, especially for the calories. Overall, we had a great experience and will be back for the next game. read more

Alright, so by now I hope you all know flavor and me, We go together. Tell those folks we go together. So, if you didn't know, now you know, and that's why Yard House of Bakersfield only gets 4 stars from Me. A couple of the dishes We ordered fell a bit short on that for Me. Today My husband and I were on a mission to catch and enjoy their happy hour. His bonus Mother kept telling us of this very big chicken nacho they serve for only $8.50. When We arrived 20 minutes to 6, the place was packed and there was a wait list. My oh so ever concerned husband didn't think we would get seated in time to fulfill our mission. However, I know that the bar is open seating, so after I confirmed this with the staff, of whom all were awesome. From the host, to the many bartenders Who tended to us, to the manager, to a waitress just passing by who grabbed me extra soy ginger sauce for the poke nachos(my favorite) The Hubs ordered. Every staff member I interacted with gets 5 stars from Me. Along with the chicken and poke nachos My husband ordered the sliders and fries. Now Mother was not overreacting regarding the quantity of food Yard House serves. My husband got 5 sliders and a rather large basket of French fries for under $8. These and the chicken nachos get 3.5 stars, due to their lack of flavor, the meat on the nachos-delish. However, the beans on the nachos tasted like they were served straight from the can with no doctoring up, and the guacamole looked delicious, but failed to offer that kick; the sliders need some special sauce and grilled onion added to them and they could very likely become a 5. The poke nachos earns 5 stars off top. The wonton chips and ahi tuna- super fresh, all of the sauces on those- bomb. All I added was extra soy ginger sauce. We will be back again to try their pizzas and a few other items off their massive happy hour menu. read more

Beware of the Gardein salads. The Yard House uses fake chicken in the Gardein salads, and they call it chicken. That is misleading. If it's not chicken, don't call it chicken. If it's made with vegetarian ingredients, it's NOT chicken. Also, BBQ chicken salads should come with black beans, not pinto beans. Terrible experience, tossed the entire meal out. I would have sent it back but it was a take out order. Never dining at the Yard House again. read more

Me & my friend came for dinner after shopping in river walk. Food was quick & delicious. Ambiance was a little loud for my taste, but a fun atmosphere for happy hour & friends!!

Easy dinning at yard house. We sat on the patio which wasn't too hot and all the tvs were on the game so we were happy about that. We ordered a turkey club, sweet potato fries, chicken tenders with kale Caesar salad and had a beer each and then shared a final beer. Our server was a little slow because there was a BIG party in our section, we were fine taking it easy. These days we aren't in a rush eating out if we have a babysitter and the toddler isn't with us. We like taking out time and enjoying our meal. Dave Ramsey says restaurants are entertainment which I kind of agree with, we are paying for food, ambiance, and entertainment especially at big chains like yard house where you go to watch a game. We enjoy yard house for being exactly that! An entertainment experience. Food is good, beer is good, atmosphere is good! read more

Ambiance way too noisy. On the positive side good loud music. Super busy night for a Thursday. Food-muscato wine (yum). Sweet just how I like it. The whiskey salmon was ok. It had flavor but a little dry. Mashed potatoes were hot and flavorful. Baby carrots were a bit undercooked- too firm and hard. The broccoli was flavorful and good. Service- Carter was very busy. There was quiet a few people on a Thursday night. He was informative about the questions we had on some of the dishes. read more

Who can't love a decent chain restaurant? I have never been let down at this place, the four times I've visited this location. From apps, drinks, and entrees this place doesn't disappoint. The wait time has never been astronomical and they do it the right way, with a longer estimated wait time, with an actual wait time of 15-20 minutes earlier. The place is noisy. Just know, any place that serves beer in the measurement of feet, it's going to be louder than most. They have a GIANT beer selection, with a selection as if you're at a fine dining establishment with that giant wine list. They also have a full bar, with a decent drink selection for that as well. Good they're all over the place. They have a huge starter menu, to go along with that beer menu. They travel across the globe, when it comes to their dining options. I've sadly haven't strayed from my Korean BBQ Cheesesteak the last two times. I don't think they have a bad menu item. To circle back around; the restaurant is clean and well maintained, the menu items for drinks and food is vast but easily manageable and the prices are fair for market value. Overall a great place to stop in and have a drink or bring the family or a large group for lunch or dinner. Great addition to the Bakersfield area. read more

I get restaurants make a killing off of soft drinks. 1000% in profits but to serve us up another drink when we haven't passed half way on our first round is irritating, so I cut the waiters tip by more than half. But they don't know that and If they can just chill out I'll tip them good but that's never the case, it's protocol to serve us up as much as they can that's why they take so long with our food even on empty days. So I guess water all day and 10% tip for now on since they want to be disrespectful and not let us enjoy our drinks. read more

Went here with a large group. Our server was great. Quick and able to handle all the orders well. I ordered the Ahi Crunchy Salad. It was good but very salty. I ate about 1/3 before it was just too much. The appetizers were delicious though! Order Miguel's queso dip!! Amazing!! read more

I visited Yard House for the first time. I went during the weekend around 4:30 and it was pretty busy (45-60min wait). They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The food was good, I ordered a burger. It was cooked perfectly, but it did seem a little small for the price. The apps were also good. Onion rings were cooked perfectly and had a nice crunch. The cheese curds were a little greasy. They also have a nice happy hour with specials on drinks and apps. read more

New Year's Day was so busy but I put us on the waitlist before arriving which made our wait super short. Service was outstanding considering how busy it was. We ordered the calamari and queso dip as appetizers. The calamari was a hot, very good. The queso dip was blah, nothing exciting. I ordered the vampire tacos with rice and beans and it was good. I get these quite a bit when I come here. I don't come here often but when I do it's pretty dependable. read more

Pretty outstanding selection of beer! Wife had a tasty Mezcal cocktail called "It's Mezmerizing", very tasty for chain restaurant cocktails. We had the Shittake Garlic Noodles, Poke Stack, Spicy Crispy Chicken sandwich and tacos Vampire style. It's was all very good - service was super fast. Our wait said 30 minutes, but they had us seated in 10. This one was also better than the Santana Row one which is surprising because it's Bakersfield. The wings are good - I'm not a vegan, but the Gardein Vegan wings are worth trying! We joked that this is what the Cheesecake Factory and BJ's strive to be. Super consistent, excellent chain. Will 100% be back to this location. read more

I think going with friends made this experience so great! Our server was good too. I was amazed how fast our truffle fries came out! Kinda a small portion, but delicious! The onion rings also came out super fast. The smoky dipping sauce was really good. The onion rings were just OK, but I'm not a big fan of beer battered. I enjoyed the chicken lettuce wraps and chicken nachos! Hubby liked is Mac and cheese. The salted watermelon margarita was refreshing. Our table was near a window to the kegs or something like that. It was kind of cool to see in that room. read more

Haven't been here in a while but glad I decided to try it again. It used to be one of our favorite places to go eat when we lived in Vegas. Our Bakersifeld location seems to have improved a great deal. The food was delicious and decent portion sizes, the Weber was friendly, helpful when we asked about the drinks, and stayed on top of our refills. The noise isn't as bad as it used to be and the place is clean. The wait time was only ten minutes but it was a Wednesday night so that might have been why. The prices were decent too-only $99 for everything and we left full and content. Overall, a great experience. Recommend for a fun night out with friends. read more
