Yard House is a fun, cool place to enjoy sports or catch up with friends. The ambiance is fun with dim lighting and they even have a large screen for sports! Great place for a beer and sport in my opinion. For food options, that's where it gets a bit shaky. I've never loved Yard House food since it's on the more expensive end, and the quantity and flavor just don't match price. I'm never really full leaving this place. I typically stay away from the apps, but have settled on the tasty pork chop - which gives me a good balance of protein and veggies. Just note, if you're a big eater you won't be full. The portion looks decent, but I'm not sure what it is that just keeps me hungry here. The chop was perfectly cooked and I loved the glaze. The veggies are good, but nothing stellar. I also opted to try the bread pudding, which was not my favorite. There was something off putting about the flavor like if the bread was a bit old...? Service was great with the server doing frequent checks. Great service and they even have a mobile pad to quickly checkout!

Fried Calamari

Happy Hour! Monday to Friday; 3pm-6pm; 1/2 off select apps and pizza. Hope that was a good attention grabber. Came here without realizing there was happy hour so we loaded up on some appetizers! We definitely got more than we can eat but left overs are OK! Server was super friendly! Got sat down quick and food came out fast. Apps Calamari - nicely seasoned 9/10 Chicken Nachos - BIG portion size and loaded. 10/10 Boneless Wings - nothing too special; we got plain and lemon pepper. Tasted like wings 8/10 Entrees Spicy Beef Garlic Noodle - New item but SUPER SALTY. I see what they're trying to envision but less salt would be better and wait for your noodles to try up first before stir frying it. 6/10 Bone In Ribeye - cooked perfectly to medium and I enjoyed it with broccolini as a side. 10/10 Public parking available across the street. Valet is available next to the restaurant.

I visited this location 3 times before deciding on the review, I did not want to fall by one impression only and instead to be able to review consistency in quality, service and ambiance. Quality: Food quality is great, I tried different hamburgers every time and all of them are worth to try. They have special nachos that are BOMB! Service: They shown excellent customer service, today for example we went for 3rd time this never happened before but they took longer to take the order and the manager showed up apologizing about the oversight on there end as well as the assigned waiter I believe that level of professionalism and accountability is what restaurants need onsite; leaders that know how to deal with people and make the service a good experience for the customer. Great job on that! The whole experience deserves 10 starts because at end not matter how good the food is service also matters a LOT. Ambiance: Light is tune down kinda bar style which I believe is the purpose, I like it. I personally like the barrels with blue light very original. Highly recommend the dessert attached. The name was S'MORES" BROWNIE MELTDOWN, to DIE for! Heaven in earth for sure!

6.5/10 Got the seared ahi. I was a little skeptical about getting fish and a yard house, but I can say the flavor, sauce, and freshness of the fish were good. It did have a slightly tough texture which I was a little confused about, but it wasn't fishy at all which is a key indicator for fresh fish. Portion size was also really small in comparison to every other dish they have which was a little disappointing as well.

I visited this restaurant with six relatives on a Saturday night and they seated us very quickly. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is a typical pub/sports bar chain restaurant with dark wood decor. The food was pretty good. Nothing really stood out as particularly good or bad. Everything was pretty good.

Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Sunday B.

Popped in for lunch and had no problem getting seated. Our server was prompt and friendly. (Wish I could remember hour servers name) I got the chicken lettuce wraps and they were really tasty and the chicken was super juicy. It has small cubes of tofu combined with the chicken, green onions, wonton cup, sweet chili, spicy peanut vinaigrette.

Loved this place! Locating parking for this place is very easy to find, if you don't locate street parking they have multiple parking structures in the area since it's a busy street-shopping center. A Friday afternoon got us about an hour wait to get seated but thankfully one of our group members found an online reservation that allowed us to arrive with our name already on the list. We waited a total of 20 min after arriving and got seated at a comfy booth. It was a big location with plenty of seating on the inside. The service was great, our server was very attentive and patient with our group as it was some of groups first visit (including mine)! I ordered the shrimp and chicken pad thai and it was so yummy. I'd definitely return to order something new as their menu has a huge variety!

Firecracker shrimp

Recently stopped by my old stomping ground, Yard House in Brea, for happy hour. HH runs Monday-Friday from 3-6 PM for drinks and appetizers. We arrived around 5:40 PM and it was already packed. Unfortunately, we weren't seated until 6:05 PM, so we missed the happy hour pricing. We stayed anyway and ordered my usual favorites: ahi poke nachos, sliders, and the onion ring tower. As always, the ahi poke nachos and sliders were absolutely delicious. I could eat those every day! We also tried the firecracker shrimp for the first time. It's served over crispy rice with plump shrimp and garnishes and looks great presentation-wise, but the flavor fell flat. The sauce definitely needs improvement. Parking includes valet for a fee and limited free self-parking. Service was excellent: friendly, fast, and our drinks were always refilled. After happy hour, the crowd eased up a bit, but both the bar and dining area stayed busy. Restrooms were clean and fully stocked. Our total came out to $74 for all the food plus two refillable drinks, without the happy hour discount. Would've been about 50% less if we'd been seated before 6 PM. Pro tip: get there early and beat the happy hour rush--- it's worth it ;)

I've been able to come here for birthday celebrations and just to hang out, and every time the hospitality is awesome. The food is excellent and you really can't go wrong with anything you order. Hats off to all my peeps here at the Yard House in Brea, California - the whole team always takes great care of us. Stop by, you're going to love it, and Griffith is the best!

First time here Tuesday for a relatives birthday. We came at for happy hour,which is until 6pm everyday and then starts again at 10pm. The service was great!We were greeted by a friendly warm welcoming host named Alexis who quickly sat us and was giving us her recommendations. We had the truffle mushroom pizza, cheese pizza, chicken nachos, wings, and chicken lettuce wraps. We all just opted to share the happy hour menu and it was about 7 of us. We all ate and were full and had leftovers to take home! The appetizers and pizza are definitely shareable for at least 5 or more depending on appetite. I was happy to see they had my favorite huckleberry beer and framboise beer. Will definitely be back for happy hour!

Chicken strips and brussel sprouts
Kimberly F.

Yard house was yummy! Came here on a Sunday evening and it was busy but the service was still quick. Lots of options on the menu, but I went with an appetizer as my meal- poke nachos. They were super yummy and decently sized/priced. The wonton chips were super tasty and the flavors were delicious! We parked across the street in the garage parking and walked over. The area is super cute and I'd definitely go back for a nice meal.

We came on a Saturday night for dinner and it was busy but we were able to get seated quickly. They have a menu outside which you can look at while you wait for your table. Once inside we ordered the poke nachos (my fav!), truffle mushroom pizza (a must try!), onion rings, fish and chips, and chicken tortilla soup. The poke nachos were delicious but the wonton chips tasted like they were fried in old oil because it had a bitter taste to them. The poke tasted fresh. The truffle mushroom pizza was delicious with a rich truffle flavor profile. It's really rich and best shared with some friends. The onion rings were crispy but again the oil I think they're using is old. The fish and chips were okay but the portions were nice with really big pieces of fish. The chicken tortilla soup was rich and creamy but too salty for my taste. Our server was amazing and constantly checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed.

Chicken Bowl
Rod A.

Stopped by for dinner to watch the NCAA men's national championship before the LA Kings game. It was nice as we were seated rather quickly. Ordered the Queso Dip which came out quickly and was amazing. Comes with chips and warm tortillas. Perfect appetizer. We ordered the chicken bowl and a Pepper Jack Burger. Chicken bowl was excellent and had pepper flakes in it. Finished everything on the plate. My son loved the burger. The only downside, quite a few beers were out which was surprising. The staff was awesome especially with how crowded it was.

Came for a girls lunch date earlier to this weekend and this spot did not disappoint!…read more THE SERVICE: 5/5 - Quick, friendly, accommodating, and our waiter made a real effort to engage in conversation with us. The FOOD: 4.5/5 | Drinks: 5/5 Off the appetizers, we had the pork belly bites and dirty fries! First dish came with a long hot pepper, several mini tortillas, and 2 dipping sauces. The pork was crunchy on the outside and soft+succulent on the inside. I can see myself doubling up on this appetizer the next time I come. Dirty fries were great; it came with a generous amount of pickled onions - providing a really nice contrast to the savoriness of our meal. Our waiter graciously accommodated our request to have the egg on the side. Off the entrée/taco menu, my friend ordered the Korean tacos and I got the Ensenada (fish) tacos. But you can also order the Ensenada tacos with shrimp. These were delicious, I would have loved a little more lime crema to go with the fish - but not a big deal. I got a Watermelon Margarita. I wasn't expecting it to be HUGE, but it was the perfect amount considering how much food we as a pair ordered. My friend ordered the La Toxica table side cocktail and one additional mango cocktail. Table side cocktail was a whole show and my friend really enjoyed it. We had a great lunch at Tempo Cantina. I can't wait to try more of their bar menu, maybe even at night when the restaurant is lively

The search is over. I declare House of Fortune Vegan Cuisine as my family's go-to vegetarian…read morerestaurant. A few of our favorite vegetarian restaurants have been closing down lately, so my mom and I have been searching for a new spot. We were SO HAPPY and SO SATISFIED with the food and the spectacular service here. Everything here is vegan. If the name has a protein in it, just know that it is a faux version made of mushroom or tofu skin. Since it was our first visit, we ordered a lot hoping to find a few good dishes, but we were pleasantly surprised that everything was delicious. House Hot Tea ($3) - Great deal for a pot of hot tea for the table. Very complimentary to the food. Hot and Sour Soup ($11.95) - Warm, soothing. I love that it's a chunky sweet and sour soup. Lettuce Wraps ($11.95) - Fresh appetizer to compliment all of the other warm items. This was really crunchy and well textured, which you can lose with vegetarian/vegan food. Crispy Oyster Mushroom ($19.95) - MUST ORDER! One of our favorites. The mushroom has a tasty batter and it's deep fried with basil. Simple but delicious. Sesame Crispy Fish ($17.95) - MUST ORDER! Super crunchy and flavorful. I think it's made from seaweed and tofu skin but it has the crispiness of baby fish. General Tso Chicken ($16.95) - A really good mushroom alternative. We were really surprised how much we liked it. I haven't had the meat version of the general tso chicken, but I'm digging this vegan version. Chicken Fried Rice ($13.95) - A good base for all of the delicious food. My mom commented that it was too bland, but I feel like if it was any more seasoned I can't eat other entrée items with it. To me it's a base, and it was what we needed to round out the meal. Great friendly service from beginning to end. They were really good about refilling our water, giving my mom extra napkins, helping us pack up our leftovers, and all those small thoughtful touches throughout the meal. We will DEFINITELY be back soon!

First off, the food is incredible, there is no denying that. Everything I've had from here has been…read moreamazing. The staff are always friendly and the service is always great. The atmosphere is unassuming, modest, and quaint. There has always been plenty of seating whenever I've visited, but I have seen the tables fill very quickly, especially around dinner time. The one and only downside is the portions for the price, but I don't blame the business for that. This economy is not friendly for restaurants, let alone a vegan restaurant. I have eaten from this place a handful of times. I am not even vegetarian, but I will continue to support this business because I support Asian owned businesses. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you are in the mood for authentic vegan Chinese food, even if you are not vegan.

The vibes are artsy, chill, and very laid back, and while we have our regular spots there are no bad seats. Staff are always friendly here, and even though it's seat yourself and menus are on the table for you to take your time with, they're always checking in and willing to answer questions. Elizabeth has been our server on multiple occasions and is always attentive and quick to help or communicate, and always says hi even if she isn't the one working with us directly. Dinner rush is usually a bit earlier in the evening as they do see a lot of older clientele, but it typically varies based on weekday vs weekend and if there's a local event happening in downtown Fullerton. The patio is large with plentiful seating, a warm fireplace, dogs are allowed, and if there's live music happening at the museum down the street you can usually hear it. Our favorites are the nachos, killer chili, Leeky soup, and any of their salads. Price is a good value, especially considering the portion size, we can usually get at least two meals out of an entree. We love trying the new dollar dip flavor every month. Cookies are made in-house and very good, an easy and affordable treat to grab on the way out. We've brought vegan and vegetarian friends here and they can always find something to eat. Highly recommend as a place to come to when you want to sit and hang out for a bit to relax and have a good meal, whether alone or with a group.
