    Yardhouse is good for a drink and some easy hot food. It's FIFA time and the play the U.S.A and Mexico games with loud audio. The beer is cold and the drinks are poured nice. The food is hot, the service is great. I recommend Yardhouse.

    Kids steak and salad. I like that the steak turned out a true medium when I asked for medium, instead of turning out medium well.

    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.

    Excellent service, Matt Fisted my bump! Red heart We will definitely have to go again sometime. Ariah, Brock, Matt, yall made our night.

    Cheesecake brûlée  So good!

    It's not very often you get to wind down for some Yard House mid week, so when my daughter wanted to treat me, I gladly accepted. Even on a random Wednesday Yard House was still alive, fortunately my daughter had arrived a bit earlier so we didn't have to wait to be seated. Our waiter was all business, but he was polite. Being that I was at Yard House, of course I would be unable to continue the evening without first starting out with an order of the spicy garlic edamame Such a simple appetizer but always very tasty. For my meal I thought I would try a new item on the menu, the Twisted Fettuccine Alfredo. I also made a small alteration and added chicken and shrimp. Everything was cooked really well. The pasta, shrimp and chicken were all of good quality, but I felt as if the flavor just wasn't there. Very neutral and rather plain. To end the night, I of course could not leave without a final order of the cheesecake brûlée, which was fantastic.

    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.

    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! :-)

    It's been a while since I've been a yard house but the surface is always good we went around 2:00 in the afternoon on a Friday wasn't too crowded plenty of tables service was on point Food is always hot had the blue cheese burger with sweet potato fries it was just too much for me to eat but it was good person I was with had nachos and they look pretty good and hot atmosphere was pretty calm and quiet cuz it wasn't crowded I guess that's the best time to go wasn't too busy definitely going to go back sooner than later

    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.

    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.

    Happy Hour!

    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!!

    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! It was hot and delicious, my boyfriend and I were very happy with our meals. We had two servers as one was taking their break when we got sat, they were both helpful and attentive. Always a good time when I come!

    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!

We also tried the loaded tuna croissant and the pastrami ,salad combo which my wife raved about both stating that the dehydrated brussel sprouts in the salad was something she wanted me to prepare at home for her my daughter liked the tuna salad but decided to take out some of the Cranberries which she said were absolutely fresh as they were very tart, both entrees were extremely tasty and prepared with super fresh ingredients. ​Lastly, shout out to Jasmine, shes an absolute gem of a person. Even though the restaurant was busy inside, she was incredibly attentive, professional, and had the warmest attitude. She nailed the suggestions made sure absolutely everything came out perfectly without missing a beat. this place has great vibes, great cooks who prepare great food, and great service.
