    Chicken avocado sandwich, Sweet potato fries, Cheese pizza
    Angelina R.

    Last time I had yard house it was years ago and all the way in California, but it was always my favorite as a kid and now I remember why. They do every dish with such refinement and culinary expertise that no matter what you order, you know it'll be good quality. With that in mind, the price is also super reasonable making this a great casual dinner option when you're looking for something a little more upscale while not being overly fancy-- coming here you know you'll still get some nice simple comfort food done well. In addition, the service was so sweet and personable. They were attentive without being overbearing and joyful without pushing it or feeling fake. There's a sense of ease and enjoyment about dining here and I'm so impressed by how the flavors continue to deliver!

    Delicious food and wonderful service as always! Tried their Asian style tacos for a change and it was super delicious! The size is quite small for the price, but it still felt filling. I had hoped the side of beans and rice would be a little bigger, but the entire dish was still a decent size. I love trying their fries every time as well, a great side to any dish! Our server was so sweet and checked in pretty often to make sure everything was good. The food was served relatively quickly as well, so overall a great experience!

    Carne Asada
    Kim H.

    This location was right across the street from our hotel so we thought we'd give it a try. Fernanda was our waitress ABs she was friendly and did a great job. We had carne asada tacos with beans/rice. The tacos are small and there are three. My husband is an average eater and was still hungry. He rated them a 4/5. I'm a much smaller eater and ordered the grilled chicken with avocado sandwich. It had delicious cherry peppers on it. I thought it was good but the texture of the chicken was a bit weird and it was dry which is why I'd rate it a 3/5. I opted for a house salad instead of fries and it was fresh and good. My husband had the bread pudding and I tasted a bite. We agreed that it wasn't good. It tasted like flavorless soggy bread. That was the only part of the meal that was a huge let down. This restaurant is large and nicely laid out and decorated. I think it would be a nice spot for a casual date night and it was in walking distance to Fenway Park which is what we did after dinner.

    Chicken Nachos

    The food here is amazing, great service staff anticipating all our needs. Coming by frequently to see if we needed anything. The ambiance is excellent, great for individual table for two to rather large group with some coordination. They do pick-up/take-out as well.

    Poke Nachos
    Harrison I.

    Yard house is the best place to go before a Red Sox game. This is a classic sports bar with lots of seating. It is always super busy, so get there early! The food was good for bar food. The fries were tasty, the chicken sandwich was good, and the nachos were great! All great stuff to split. The drinks are where this place shines. They do huge "half yard" drinks that are definitely worth it! So fun and pretty inexpensive given how big.

    Bacon Cheese Burger

    I am a Chauffeur i brought a group to Yardhose on Brookline Ave Boston they where very kind and offered me a meal. I ordered Bacon Cheese Bueger with fries let me tell you the best burger that I have had in many years. Thank You Yard House.

    Chicken Lettuce Wraps
    Eva A.

    Came here on a whim on a Tuesday night, to be honest, expected it to be more crowded. Ordered the chicken lettuce wraps to start, which were decent, though not the best I've had. The tofu or sauce added a mild mushroom flavor, and the wonton cup was difficult to break and was kind of bland. However it was surprisingly super filling! Next I had the grilled chicken avocado burger without Swiss, and the chicken was very juicy (or greasy? Couldn't tell) but had the tiniest bit of avocado ever. My friend got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, said he did not enjoy. The chicken was thick but overly fried and way too greasy- the bottom bun was soaked through. Otherwise our waitress was super attentive and warned us about longer wait times due to new staff training, checked in on our meal, etc. Overall fine experience, unsure if I would come back but is a fine choice since they stay open late!

    Game 4 finals has everyone glued to
    Vicki M.

    Yard house is the place to be for the NBA finals Game 4 Celtics! There was a line just to get inside around 7:30 and then we put our name down for a table and they said it could be an hour and half wait! We decided to go hang around the bar - which there was standing room only - at least they have a little counter there so you can order drinks there. We did so and waited and luckily after about 35 minutes our table was ready- whew! TVs everywhere perfect viewing from anywhere in the restaurant. It got really crowded as the game started. The games in a tough spot right now but that perhaps means there might be a game 5 in Boston....who knows! It's only third quarter things could still turnaround. I ordered the spicy jambalaya- my usual order - big portion. It was good and of course I have enough leftovers. The hubs got a burger which he really liked and a friend got the pork burger. For dessert the cheesecake brûlée was really nice - never had one - very creamy with the brûlée crust - yummy! For drinks I had the buzz-free mojito - I figured the whole place was buzzing so I didn't need any more ha ha! The hubs had the Hawaiian mule and friend got a beer (dogfish). Our server Sofia was nice and attentive. Never seen the place this crowded before. Lots of people near the bar and also near the tables. Overall great time at Yard house!

    1st time reviewer, long time reader. Came in after visiting the Franklin Zoo with 3 hungry kids in tow and 3 adults in need of a beer on a Friday during the start of their dinner rush. We were not rushed, but taken care of in a timely manner. Questions were answered professionally and honestly (love honest servers). Our food was hot and on point. Crispy and delicious cheese curds (our girls demolished them). Not to mention our server Max was top notch. Gave us some great advice for first time Boston visitors and suggestions on places to visit and was very personable. 10/10 recommend.

    Adam was the best bartender ever, and he made our quick stop for a beer and bite fun and worthy of lingering for one more! We arrived pretty much as they opened for lunch and while we had our pick of tables, we opted for the bar so we could take in all the unique and interesting taps up close. Thatsa lottsa taps! Adam made some recommendations, gave us a couple of samples so we could decide and overall helped us navigate the selection until we all found something we liked. All the gmdood we ordered was great. My husband is STILL talking about the wings!

My wife refused to believe that it wasn't a wig store. I laughed, opened the outer door, walked into a small vestibule, and opened the inner door to find a cocktail oasis. The hostess said they were very busy, but found us 2 seats and a table that we shared with another couple. The environment makes it easy to meet new people, and soon we were all chatting away, enjoying the music and the ambiance. Our server was great. She brought us water and dropped off the "menu" - part menu and part comic book. It was so innovative. All the cocktails are custom creations, but they do offer what they call "tabletop classics" as well. You go here to try new cocktails, not cocktails you can get anywhere. Go ahead, be daring! I had two Curly Colas, a take on a rum and cola, but nothing like anything I have had previously. Two kinds of rum, Averna, lemon and a little saline. It is served on ice with a dehydrated mushroom. Simply outstanding! My wife had a Bergamot Spritz that she loved. There are many cocktail places in Boston, but nothing like this! Go there and enjoy.

    This place was awesome!!!…read more If you are a Gen X'er, and love great cocktails, you will love this place! So we are from out of town; Texas, to be exact, and we were in Boston on vacation. We were looking for a place we could get some drinks and appetizers, and maybe watch some sports. A person in our group found this place online, so we gave it a try. We loved it! The 80s & 90s decor, as well as the 80s & 90s music they were playing made it an instant hit for our Gen X group. Every single song that was played was on my personal playlist, so we sang along and danced at our table to the tunes that took us back in time. There were some early 2000s songs played, too, but all songs played were songs we know and love. So needless to say, we loved the music!! Also, the drinks...oh my, the drinks. They were so, so good! Some in our group had the Adult Caprisun, including myself. It was so tasty, and served in an actual pouch, which brought me back to my 80s childhood. Another in our group ordered the Pink Flamingo which came with a little inflatable pink flamingo that you could take home with you. We noticed that the drinks were just perfect, too; not too strong with alcohol, and not watered down, either. The food was okay. It's bar food, so it's not going to knock your socks off or anything, but it hits the spot if you are drinking and hanging with friends. Our server was good. She was attentive to our needs and took good care of us. It was interesting to me that we, a group of age 50 somethings, were the oldest among the clientele, as everyone else was probably in their 20s or early 30s, but we didn't care. We had a great time! The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars is because someone in our group wanted to watch the Red Sox game, and apparently it was on Apple TV that night and the bar didn't have Apple TV.

In advance, I stopped into the hotel to confirm that a gluten-free guest could be accommodated and was assured this would be handled. In reality, the accommodation was inadequate and, at times, unacceptable. While the rest of us were served scones, my stepdaughter was given cut fruit in their place, and told that was all they had to accommodate.The dessert course consisted of what appeared to be basic gluten-free cookies, misrepresented as something more gourmet - egg nog cookies??? This lack of preparation was both disappointing, upsetting and avoidable. The broader experience was equally concerning. We were subjected to an unsolicited and uncomfortable "lesson" on tea service, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and celebratory occasion. While trying to enjoy the time with the girls, being a lifelong tea drinker and someone who has been to many times at your establishment and its various incarnations, this is something I have never experienced. The food quality was poor (scones were clearly reheated and stuck to the cloth napkin they were wrapped in), and there were notable service lapses, including being served water in a visibly shattered glass. Additionally, when hot water was added to refresh the tea, my stepdaughter's pot curdled and had to be replaced. It was especially disappointing, as I mentioned that I had stopped in and spoken with the concierge, and was assured, as they had called the kitchen while I stood there that they readily accommodated gluten-free. There are numerous places in the city that could have done this, and if you had just told me that you could not do so, I would have booked us elsewhere. I chose not to raise the multiple issues in the moment so as not to disrupt what was meant to be a special day for the girls and me. However, the total cost exceeded $500, and the experience did not come close to justifying that price point! Do not recommend.

The line for the club wraps around the building down the street most nights, so we got lucky. Dance floor is upstairs and it's pretty small, just one room. There were two DJs that night, and the music was really good. Bar was fun, they handed out free chicken tenders at one point and were squirting shots into peoples mouths out of gatorade bottles. It was awesome. Bathroom line upstairs for women was crazy, only one bathroom and it took a long line. I suggest going downstairs... but at least you'll see the famous cheetah print walls! I will say trying to get in contact with the reservation staff was difficult but finally they answered after days of my friends and I trying.
