My husband and I came to Yard House for date night. The hostess was sweet and got us seated pretty quickly. The waiter came by and took our drink order and got us our drinks quickly. We ended up ordering Chicken Nachos and the Whisky Aged cheddar burger. I didn't get a photo of the burger before my husband devoured it but my nachos were delicious. We were very happy with the service and quality of our food. Everything was full of flavor and seasoned nicely. Thank you Yard House for a great experience. read more

Yard House - Jambalaya AKA Bowl of rice. 2 dry shrimp & 2 dry chicken pieces. - New American Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Plenty of parking in the front and back. Keep in mind it gets packed very quickly. Upon entrance we were told there's a 20 minute wait. Our information was entered on the waiting list followed by a confirmation text. The environment is loud and full of conversations from friends and families. The restrooms were not as clean and the water is too hot when washing hands. Food was ok. Wishing the portions were bigger. Lobster Garlic Noodle did not have equal portions of lobster and shrimp. There was more shiitake mushrooms than protein and I tasted the garlic.. but lacking seasoning. Asada tacos were ok and the rice/beans lacked flavor. Spicy jambalaya was not spicy and it was bland. We were told that the chef who can really prepare the jambalaya at its finest was off and the other chef who was on duty makes it ok. I should have asked when that original chef returns to try it! Tip starts at 18% 22% and 25%. Take note that you can customize your tip as well. 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

Yard house is one of my favorite restaurants in town! It's a great time here whether it's to catch up with friends over lunch, or catch up with them while watching the game over dinner and drinks. The menu has a great selection of food and drinks so there's always a variety of what to order. Staff is friendly and service is quick. read more

Came here on Friday for happy hour. It was fully packed but glad our party of 5 was able to get a table easily. Our server came right away to take drink orders. All beer on tap and cocktails are 1/2 half M-F 3:00-6:00pm. My friend got herself a Dos Equis glass while I opted for their signature strawberry mule. We started with a bbq pizza, poke nachos, and truffle fries. All of which are also on the 1/2 off happy hour menu. I usually come here for the poke nachos, and as usual, it did not disappoint. Wontons were crispy, tuna was fresh, and sauce was just right! The pizza was also superb and had enough bbq sauce to where it wasn't overpowering. My other friends ordered the fried calamari and chicken nachos, both of which were also on the happy hour menu. The calamari was fried perfectly and had the right texture. Although, I didn't really find the nachos appealing. By then, it was time to refill drinks and this time, I had the Hawaiian mule. I must say, I like this much better than the first drink. It had a refreshing taste but was not overly sweet. My other friends have never tried it before and were also delighted by the taste. We sat in the patio and it was the perfect ambiance that set the tone for a great night pre-celebrating for Mother's Day. read more

Yard House - Miguel's Queso Dip with seasoned beef - New American Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Good music, clean and nice atmosphere, and excellent service. Came in for mid day drinks and an appetizer. Was served by the very delightful, friendly and personable Sebastian. My sister and I were the very first to try Jenn's Blackberry Rickey - as it was just added to the menu that day. So delicious! Topped with foaming bitters that add an earthy, aromatic flavor that we adored, I'd come back for this cocktail alone. I also tried a Pineapple Express which was fruity and refreshing with fresh mint. I would recommend both. For an appetizer, we shared the chicken nachos which could have fed 2 additional people. All in all, a lovely experience. We enjoyed our drinks and food while rocking out to our dad's playlist highlights. read more

Just left and had the worst service ever. Sat at the bar and waited a while to get the attention of a waitress. Initially there was only one, so I was understanding. A woman in a white polo and grey pants (per the receipt her name is Tarah) finally took our order and never spoke to us or even make eye contact with us again. We were literally never checked on again until we were able to flag down the other waitress to get boxes and pay. Tarah actively avoided making eye contact with us. Both waitress regularly checked on the party sitting next to us and other patrons seated around the bar. It was disgusting how bad the service we received was tonight. read more

Hannah was my pleasant & prompt server. She was attentive and helpful. The staff seems to be well trained. They have a vast variety of beers. They are Located in The Shops at River Walk near Old River Road. Their menu features over 100 American-style dishes made from scratch daily, and the world's largest selection of draft beer with 110 taps. They serve lunch, dinner, happy hour and late night dining. Classic rock plays in the background. For the sports fans there are TV's everywhere you look. The interior is dark & industrial. I ordered Miguel's queso dip. I was underwhelmed. The top of the dip was on the verge of being burnt. The flavor was meh The corn chips were store bought and not all tasty. With tax it was $15.14. read more

My daughter chose to have her birthday party her 18th birthday party on November 14 there everybody ordered their food buy food was brought to them. Everybody was eating and the waiter asked me. Oh what did you order? This is 10 minutes after everybody else has already got their food now sitting there waiting on my food to come and I said I ordered the two pepper jack burger Medium rare he was oh we forgot to make that so 15 minutes later they bring me a overcooked well done burger and skimpy ass fries. Needless to say there was 25 people at my daughter's birthday party. Everybody else had already finished eating, and I was the last one to get my food and to eat I would not recommend this place. The service sucked and at the end of the meal they had charged us for a additional pokey nacho that nobody ordered. read more

Last night we went to Yard House for dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday. Our son who lives in town joined us. Although the place was lively and full, the wait time was minimal. The food was excellent, but what made the experience so enjoyable was our server. From the first moment to the last, Cordelia (not sure of the spelling) was attentive, friendly and helpful. She offered suggestions and demonstrated creativity toward making our little celebration very enjoyable. Servers like Cordelia are often the best form of marketing/advertising for a restaurant, because good food is a high priority for patrons, but so is excellent service. Last night we had both. read more

Went here twice, first time was on a Saturday night and second time was on a Friday night. There was a bit of a wait on both occasions but since there were vacant seats at the bar, decided to have some drinks first while waiting for a table. Never got the text message that our table was available on Saturday, had to check at the reception to follow up and was told that signal can be a little bit patchy but we let it slide. We got the message on our second visit though. Anyway, food was okay. Particularly liked the poke nachos and grilled Korean beef taco. Fried calamari was kinda average and needs more sauce included. What we enjoyed most during the visit was the Hawaiian mule. Aside from the missed text message, service is also exceptional. Will be back. read more

I love this place. I literally have never had anything bad here. Here are some of my favorite dishes here. The Kale Caesar is FANTASTIC! I absolutely love this salad. Add Blackened Chicken or Shrimp to give it a kid, but the salad without protein is GREAT! The Spicy Jambalaya is really good, but if you're a southerner like myself you won't be impressed because grandma made it better, but it's still good it just doesn't taste like grandma made it and that's okay. It's still really good. The orange chicken is a phenomenal choice. The pizzas are good. The nachos are good. The sliders are top tier. I love their BBQ sauce the flavor is great. The service is always great. Great vibes. Good music. Great experience. read more

Yard House - Cilantro Lime Chicken - New American Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Went here on 11/9/25 with our young children for my husband's birthday. We had dined here for lunch a couple weekends ago and decided it would be a great place for dinner. We drove all the way from Tehachapi. I don't know what the heck was going on last night, but our server was absolutely horrible. She came to the table maybe 3 minutes after we sat down to take our order but she didn't introduce herself at all (never caught her name because she was basically non-existent), she didn't converse at all, after I'd say the order for one kid she wouldn't say she was done inputting it or anything. She was just silent and had a bit of an attitude like she didn't want to be there. 5 minutes later drinks came and she said another server would take over while she went on her dinner break. Well that server never checked in on us the whole time we were there. Then our order came out and we had to send 1 kids plate back because she's allergic to white potatoes and they accidentally gave us French fries instead of the sweet potato fries we ordered. Another server from a different area came over to ask if we needed anything and brought us 2 milk refills for the kids. Then he found out we sent something back due to an allergy and he popped on over to make sure it was okay that the fries were fried in the same oil or if we needed a different side. She's allergic to strawberries and pineapples and that's exactly what their fruit cups are so we assured him that it's okay for the fries to be fried in the same oil, she just can't physically eat the white potatoes. Honestly, I wish he was our server instead of the 2 ladies that were nowhere to be found. He's the reason this review has 2 stars instead of 1. He showed genuine concern over the allergy (our original server didn't even mention the allergy to the kitchen) and kept checking in on us even though we weren't one of his tables. I think he saw us sitting there waiting for our server. I called her 2x using the tabletop screen because it timed out the first time before she even got there so I had to press it again. I think he saw the red flashing light. The server who was "covering" for her while she was on her dinner break walked past MULTIPLE times and ignored our table. When our original server finally came back when I called the 2nd time, she already had to-go boxes in hand and asked if we needed anything else. I asked for a drink refill for my husband since it hadn't been refilled yet and we were almost done with our dinner (we weren't done when she brought the boxes) and it felt like she was rushing us out of the restaurant. The refill never came so we just paid and left. It was the worst birthday dinner experience ever. She didn't even wish my husband a happy birthday or ask what we were celebrating like the hostesses did. Maybe she was having a crappy day, fine. But it made the ending to ours crappy as well. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be returning - at least not for dinner. Edit: I just looked at my digital receipt. Server was Tamera P. And this wasn't during dinner rush, this was a Sunday at 9pm. read more

Really enjoy the food and drinks here. I like how it closes late when there's a lot of places that close early.

They have a big parking lot and friendly staff. We were immediately greeted and seated. They have a huge menu of page after page of beer wine and mixed drinks. They also have a large food menu. We settled on a cheeseburger and Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was big and very crunchy with delicious fries. I had a salad instead of fries with my cheeseburger. The meat was cooked to order and delicious and the service was very good. We would return. Thanks Yard House for a great lunch. read more

If I could give zero stars this time I would. We ordered two gluten sensitive meals and two regular meals (one of which was off the children's menu) and the only meal that was decent was the children's pizza and fries. Carne asada tacos were ordered with corn tortillas and no onions and they were plain meat with guacamole on two greasy corn tortillas. Ahi crusted tuna was gluten sensitive and it came with toppings it doesn't usually have for GS and the waitress treated my step daughter like she was dumb for asking what it was on top. The bbq bacon burger I ordered was tasteless and had no bbq sauce on it (this was not a gluten sensitive meal) and barely any aioli. Even the Dr Pepper was gross, no carbonation or flavor. We usually come about once every couple of months as a treat and have always recommended the place but we won't be back after this. It was also incredibly expensive, not worth the money paid for rude service and terrible food. Must be the Bakersfield effect because this is what BJ's did as well. read more

I went during happy hour and the deals were great! The cheese curd portion was huge compared to the chicken tenders and fries. The chicken was pretty dry but the horseradish aioli with the cheese curds was amazing. I sat at the bar and the service was wonderful. Lexi, Miranda, Juan, and Eric were all great bartenders. I'll definitely be back. read more

This place is really a hit! It's become a regular quick date night spot for my husband and I. They have a wonderful happy hour where they include appetizers at half price! We have tried several dishes over our visits there and have never been disappointed. The staff are always super friendly and accommodating. One thing is that usually the music is really loud ( doesn't bother us too much but it's something to note) I always recommend joining the waitlist as this place is pretty happening in the evenings. Their poke nachos are phenomenal! Their pizzas perfectly cooked and super delicious! Sweet potato fries a MUST! My husbands a big fan of their seared ahi tuna slices Boneless wings are super good too. Honestly give it a try for yourself it's not your typical bar food. read more

Seems like a decent place to watch sports and eat. There were screens and occasional loud cheers. They had a decent vegan menu, although I would've appreciated more whole food options. The salad was a sad bowl of large chunks of lettuce and a couple carrot and cucumber slices. The veggie burger was decent. The staff was friendly enough. read more

Customer Service Awesome Food delicious Nice big clean place Usually I come durning happy hour, Food half off , not all the drinks but they do have drinks half off. My drink was not half off but it was fruity an delicious. Strawberry Daiquiri, not to much alcohol but enough , it tasted like a dessert. Chicken tenders is crispy on the outside an tender on the inside. Their sweet potato fries pair with ranch is yummy. Their onion rings reminder me of a place that no longer open, the batter is no other not crispy not soft but between the two, when you break it in half the stream comes out right away . Happy Hour is a great time to come . It gets crowed, but that's okay your food comes out hot. read more

I rarely leave bad reviews, but the host service here was awful. My mom and I arrived late night when it wasn't busy, yet "Ruby" ignored us and kept seating guests who came in after. She told us a 15-min wait for a booth--while several sat empty--only for the manager to seat us immediately. Even with complimentary drinks, the rude, unprofessional attitude ruined it. Save your time--skip this location. read more
