    2nd time here and it was just as great as I remembered! Chris provided excellent service, the food was tasty, and the Cali Creamin' brew is still my favorite. I didn't take any photos of my food but I had the fish and chips and they were good portions and I upgraded to truffle fried. Pretty delish! Looking forward to my next visit!

    First time trying this place. Very delicious Food and love the layout.

    This was the first time coming to Yard house. I have heard great things and after our movie we decided to give them a try. I was blown away from the greeting when we came in. We sat down our server Dre was very welcoming explained everything. We ordered the Carnivore pizza and boneless chicken wings with two flavors Korean garlic and Lemon pepper phenomenal. We split a Korean cheese steak with a side salad instead of fries no upcharge. Dre was a mind reader as he appeared and knew what we wanted without even asking. Everything was brought out quickly. I especially loved there Oreo brookie. If you are ever at the Otay ranch Yard House Dre is the server that exceeded our first time experience. So much so my wife and I wanted to let the manager know how well everything went.

    They weree very busy just at opening. They, like the Cheescake Factory got hit with graduation celebrations. Unlikw the CF the Yard House made us feel welcome. CF was a disaster of customer service as there was none. We did have to wait a few minutes for another server to come on and she was a blast. Great atmos. Super food and customer service that would be hard to beat. This is the place to be.

    Poke Nachos

    I tried The new Yard House in East Lake. We were seated pretty quickly but it took a long time for our waitress to come to our table. Not sure if they want everyone to order from the little machine on the table. I personally like when they come by and bring water and take your order. To me it's much more personable. They weren't super busy so not sure what the protocol is. We stopped for a quick snack & a drink. The Poke Nachos & Lavender Lemon Drop. Both were delicious. Parking is great here and on this day we didn't have to wait to be seated. Otherwise it's super busy. They also have a good Happy Hour.

    Came here for Father's Day after walking around finding someplace to eat without having reservations. There was a big group in front of us once we entered but we were seated right away. Place was open and similar to the other Yard House locations. Service was good, friendly and fast considering it was a big day. We ordered the pretzel, queso dip, burger and one of their pasta dishes. Everything was just as expected and fed our appetites. The pink margarita was delicious and goes down like juice lol. Didn't get a chance to take pics of all our plates since we were all hungry. Solid place to grab a bite.

    Boneless buffalo wings. Half off during HH. Spicy Korean on the left, buffalo on the right.

    I have dined at the Yard House Otay Ranch location a few times since it opened. The service has been attentive and the food consistently delicious. This time, we stopped in on a Tuesday for Happy Hour. Happy Hour includes 1/2 off most of their apps, $2 off beer and cocktails and $3 off 9 oz wine. We ordered the three cheese pizza, the boneless buffalo wings, poke nachos and a Cobb salad. The pizza has a thinner crust and was cooked to perfection, especially if you like it a little crispy. It was a little light on sauce.. Next time I will ask for extra. I have had the poke nachos several times. It's a generous portion with lots of fish on each wonton chip. The Cobb salad was also a generous portion with ample toppings. The wings were also good.. you get to choose two sauces. We chose buffalo and spicy Korean. Both tasty. The only con for me is it is a bit loud. The music makes for a fun, lively atmosphere. But it could be turned down a few notches so you can hear your dining mates easier. Tip: join the wait list online before you head over, especially during peak times.

    Onion Ring Tower
    Anne C.

    Came here shortly after opening on a weekday, it was not busy at all throughout our time there. we were welcomed and seated right away. a decent size menu. We ordered the tower of onion rings, brussels sprouts, chicken nachos, and a cheddar bacon burger. the onion rings had a tasty beer batter coating, it was good but seemed to loose alot of the crunch rather quickly. the brussels sprouts were delicious! also with a lovely flavor and perfectly caramelized. chicken nachos were a generous portion with lots of toppings. and the burger was juicy, flavorful, and w a nice char. would love to come back during happy our to try more of their appetizers. it's a large restaurant, great for groups. comfortable atmosphere. lots of drinks on the menu to choose from. our staff was attentive and friendly.

    Came here over the weekend to meet up with friends, and the service was awful from the start. Our server, Jaire L., was unfriendly, had a snarky attitude, and was completely unprofessional. It felt like we were inconveniencing him just by being there. The food was just as disappointing as the service. The grilled chicken sandwich with avocado was mediocre at best and nothing memorable. Overall, both the food and the service were a complete letdown. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

    Mushroom pizza with roasted mushrooms in the background, paired with a whiskey + cheddar cheese burger, and crispy fries.
    Edrick G.

    Yard House continues to deliver where it counts -- massive draft selection, energetic atmosphere, and consistently well-executed elevated bar fare. We kicked things off with a beer flight (Honey Blonde, Belgian White, Golden Pilsner). Pours were fresh with proper head retention and served at ideal temperature -- a strong start. Paired it with the Poke Nachos (Poke Chips), which were layered thoughtfully rather than piled high. Crisp wonton chips held up under diced ahi, creamy sauce, scallions, cilantro, and a drizzle that added just enough richness without overwhelming the fish. Clean flavor, good texture contrast, and balanced acidity. The Mushroom Pizza delivered solid umami depth from roasted mushrooms over a nicely charred crust. Even cheese melt, structured base, and green onion brightness to cut through the richness. Crust had chew with crisp edges -- properly baked. The Whiskey Burger + Cheddar was the standout. Well-seared patty cooked to temp, sharp cheddar melted evenly, and a whiskey glaze that added controlled sweetness without masking the beef. The toasted brioche bun held together, glossy and lightly crisped. Fries were golden, crisp exterior with fluffy interior. Pickles on the side provided needed acidity. Service was attentive without hovering, and food timing was dialed in. High-volume operation with disciplined execution. Not flashy -- just consistent. Reliable 4.0.

    Unfortunately, my experience here was very disappointing. We started with the Firecracker Shrimp as an appetizer, followed by the 20 oz. bone-in ribeye for our main course. We specifically ordered the steak medium well, but it arrived fully cooked, making it dry and lacking any real flavor. The mashed potatoes were bland and tasted like they were missing seasoning, and even the lemonade was disappointing. Overall, the food did not meet our expectations, especially considering the price. Based on this experience, I won't be returning. I hope the restaurant takes customer feedback seriously and improves its food quality and consistency.

    Happy Hour Menú at Yard House new location at Otay Ranch in Chula Vista, CA

    We really enjoyed the Happy Hour Menu at Yard House new location at Otay Ranch in Chula Vista, CA. The Yard House has great Happy Hour Monday-Friday from 3pm-6pm, 1/2 off on their appetizers, $2.00 off on Draft beers, wine, & cocktails etc. We enjoyed the following appetizers: *Poke Nachos 5/5 stars *Classic sliders 4.5/5 *Miguels Queso Dip 4.5/5 *Wisconsin Fried cheese curds 4/5 Beers: *House Hazy IPA 6.9% 5/5 stars * Stiegl Radler Grapefruit 2.5% Radler, Austria (chick drink love it!!) 5/5 stars Great spot to watch your favorite sports game. We had excellent customer service. Give this place a try! Happy Yelping :)

    Who doesn't like Yardhouse?! I will say that I've only been able to get a good seat when we go as soon as the open or anytime before 1pm. Anything time after that, good luck. Place gets so packed it's crazy. I have very little patience so if the wait is more than 15 minutes, I'll just go somewhere else. The food variety is great! There are so many options! So whatever you decide to get, I'm sure it will be great! The environment is the Yardhouse theme: yacht rock and beer. No one outmatches their beer selection, so I can't even write about that. Just come here with patience if you wanna come after 3pm and be ready to drink some beer.

    Whiskey Glazed Salmon
    Jonathan Z.

    A welcome addition to the Otay Ranch Mall food scene. Typically don't give chains a 5 but they're really doing a great job with the opening of this spot. Lots of food options, great happy hour deals. We've been here a few times and each time the bartenders are super friendly and the food comes out super quick. Love their HH chicken nachos, wings, and whiskey glazed salmon. Lots of Hazy IPAs to choose from and the vibe is always on point. Def enjoy the energy here over the Cheesecake Factory bar area. And a shoutout to Katie who did a phenomenal job taking care of us last night!

When she finally came to the table, I handed her my dish and I told her this is terrible and she looked at me with a deer in the headlights stare. I said take it off the bill and she left. Didn't even ask me if I cared for something else or talk to a manager or whatever like good customer service would do. Do not dine in here. There are way better places.

I walked up to bar and really did ask nicely for the check again from her. Our waitress said "I'm on break." I was surprised because she didn't tell us that she was going on break or who our new waiter was. I asked again...very nicely really...she again said "I'm on break" and continued flipping through her phone. I had to go find another waitress and ask for the check. Thankfully, this other waitress was really nice. I told her what had happened and she said she would talk to the manager. The manager was very polite and apologized for the waitress and tried to make things better. Really liked coming to this place but don't think I want to spend my hard earned money here to be treated like that.

Artichoke hearts were great and the stuffed tomatoes were a pleaselant surprise. My family had numerous pastas and a pie which we were all blown away by this hidden gem. Unfortunately the expirence took a turn when it came to our service from our server, Mia. I should mention that we were not locals and we traveled from a different state. We spent our day going to Sesame Place with our family and wanted a bite to eat after. I will say we weren't the best dressed given our day however, I feel like we were targeted for this reason from the beginning. We had a party of 6 and we knew that mandatory tip was included before going. That did not stop us since we were looking for a delicious meal before driving back home. We ordered water as soon as we sat down since we had spent the day in the sun. From that moment, Mia rolled her eyes and didn't even ask how we were doing, not even a smile. Mia's attitude towards us was very unprofessional the entire time. She would come over very quickly and wouldn't ask if we needed anything or how we were doing. We had to ask her in the small time she would come over or ask someone else. We were celebrating my birthday and mentioned that but she didn't acknowledge it. The cherry on top was when we received our bill, it was $201 and some change. We gave $210 and the exact change in cash so we could recieve an even $10 back and leave it at the table even though the tip was already taken out. Mia brought back 9 dollars and 1 dollar in change back and honestly, it was petty. After that, we didn't leave anything extra and left feeling pretty upset with the overall service. It was disappointing for my family that our last part of our vacation ended like this. Money was not an issue for my family and it is disappointing to get judged when I have the same currency as everyone else paying inside. Unfortunately, I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone even though the food was truly delicious.
