    Yard House has some great deals for Happy Hour if you can be there before 6:00 pm during the week. I had the chicken lettuce wraps and the sliders and they both were good. However, I think the sliders was a great deal since they come with fries and four (4) sliders. Chicken lettuce wraps was decent but I've had it better somewhere else. And it is a very small portion. It's an appetizer! :)

    All the food was great, and came out quickly. We were told their soda machine was flat aside from a separate machine that only had coke and sprite, so my Dad decided to get iced tea instead. Small inconvenience, and then there seemed to be some confusion when they brought out the food between us and the other group on the patio. The onion rings were perfectly crispy, and the fish on the poke nachos was fresh. My pork burger, while cooked well, had a strong pepper spice on the bacon which overpowered the burger. We were glad they accommodated us on the patio, since we had our dog with us.

    Spicy Tuna Stack

    This isn't my first time here. I have been many times. Finally decided to do a review. There a a gazillion beers. They do beer well. As they should. There are a ton of TV's. The food is like... bar food, but more variety. They do have this lovely ahi tuna stack, which feels kinda somewhat healthy. Our bartender was David, he gave a few littles samples of other beers similar to what we got. Super cool and helpful. It's kinda dim inside and perfect for sports watching. It's great for what it is. Just come with those expectations.

    Yard house usually never misses and this one is no exception. Food is great quality, good service, and dimmed atmosphere in the nice area adds to the existing good environment. The one thing that I never got here was their mules, and they are absolutely great. Ended up getting the strawberry and the Hawaiian and theyre made just fantastically

    I went to Yard House for happy hour, and I have to say,it's usually one of my go-to spots. All of my past experiences have been A+, which is why this visit stood out a bit differently.When we arrived, we were seated right away, and the host was very kind. The restaurant was clean and clearly ready for the dinner crowd. As soon as we sat down, our server Angel came over and asked if we knew what drinks we wanted before we even had a chance to look at the menu. At first, I thought, "Wow, he's on it," but his attitude felt a bit off-putting (giving) like he might have been having a rough day. I wasn't ready to order yet, but my partner was. As he started placing his order, Angel walked away mid-conversation, which caught us off guard. We brushed it off and placed our food order through the kiosk at the table. Angel later returned, acknowledged the order, and took our drink requests. Our food came out fairly quickly, we ordered the fried calamari (10/10), which was excellent, and Miguel's queso dip with added beef (10/10), which was so delicious. About halfway through our appetizers, we realized we still hadn't received our drinks. We flagged down another server, Quinn, who stepped in to help. It turned out our drinks had never been placed. Quinn quickly took care of it, and I ordered the Hawaiian Mule (10/10), which was refreshing and really tasty. Quinn ended up taking care of us for the rest of the visit and definitely turned the experience around; he was attentive and made sure everything was handled. Yard House is still a great spot for happy hour, watching a game, or going out with a group. While this visit had a hiccup with service, the food and overall atmosphere still make it a place I'd come back to.

    Truffled Mushroom pizza
    Jiliza N.

    Yard House is always a solid choice! We started with the poke nachos, and honestly... this could've been a whole meal on its own! The tuna was super fresh, the sauce was SAUCINNN, and I loved that they used fried wonton chips -- light, crispy, & not heavy at all. Highly recommend! We also shared the house salad, which helped balance everything out before the mains!! For my entrée, I got the pepper jack burger (medium rare), a recommendation from our waiter Barrett (shoutout to him!). He was so kind, patient, & really knew the menu. The burger had a nice kick of spice, which I loved, & was cooked perfectly. We also shared the truffle mushroom pizza, & wow SUPER flavorful without the mushrooms being overpowering. Of course, we all grabbed a glass of their house beer because you really can't go wrong there. Overall, such a fun place to hang out, eat good food, & catch up with friends. The vibes here remind me of BJ's... but with better food, better service, & better vibes . Would 100% come back

    I'm so sorry I can't recall our server's name but she was fantastic! !! They allowed us to book a reservation for our group earlier this week just before Christmas Eve. Even when we adjusted the count, they allowed our change to a smaller group a couple hours before our reservation at 6pm. Parked below and the elevators and stairwells are accessible to the top floor to reach Yard House. Be aware there is some construction going on (I think it was the 2nd floor). Every person who helped our table, from the hostess to their table staff, amazing service during a stressful holiday event dinner for our work. It's been ages since I've been back to Yard House and I'd forgotten how delicious everything is! Great appetizers, fantastic entrees, just an awesome experience all around. Thank you for their wonderful staff.

    Their happy hour menu is the move!!! Everything is super cheap and ended up around $40 (after tax w/o tip) for 3 dishes and a drink. The bar seating is first come first serve, but there were a good amount of seats when we came on a Friday. Everything we had was really good. I like the location, vibes, and service, will be coming back! ig: @cravingswithcat

    Hark! Upon this most fortuitous eve did I dine within the noble halls of Yard House, where merriment and fine victuals abound. Verily, the fare was most sumptuous, and the cups did flow with great cheer. Yet above all, I must needs commend the most excellent service bestowed upon us by one Ivan, a steward of rare grace and diligence. With swiftness and courtesy did he attend our table, as though guided by the very hand of hospitality itself. No want went unmet, no request unanswered--truly, his conduct was that of a paragon among servers. Should thou seek a feast most delightful, accompanied by service most gallant, I beseech thee: make haste to Yard House and pray thou art served by the virtuous Ivan. Five stars, without question!

    Cathy T.

    We got the fries, steak bowl, Korean bbq cheesesteak, and boneless wings. It was definitely more than enough food & everything was so delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly! Our server was kind & continued checking in on us as we ate :) We order 3 cocktails:pink dragon, jack and coke, and a classic mojito. All super yummy Parking is inside the garage! It is a little complicated, just make sure you enter from Newport Blvd. Take the elevator or stairs the highest floor. The restaurant is at the end of the bridge path.

    Came for Happy Hour and left impressed! We ordered ahi sashimi, two poke nachos, sliders, half lemon pepper and Korean chili boneless wings, and calamari. Yard House has always been my family's favorite place to eat--it's a big restaurant chain, but the food is consistently great and affordable. Our server was attentive and amazing, and the food came out super quick. Always a solid choice for a fun and satisfying meal!

    For a Saturday night, we were able to get a table for 7 quite easily. Lots of parking in the structure adjacent. Like all the other yardhouse. Lots of drink options and food options. Ordered a lot of apps and entrees. Drinks and food came out quickly. The food and drinks were good. Minus 1 star cuz the table checkout machine was not working well. We were able to split the bill 6 ways, we paid our share, but for the rest of the table it wouldnt go thru. Overall we had a great time here. Food and drink was good. Ambiance was nice and loud but not rowdy. Company was great!!

    We were out and about with friends when we got hungry!! Our hunger pangs were all over the map when looking at food pictures on Yelp! We decided on Yard House having a variety of menu items!!! This Yard House is located at the mall. The mall's escalator was broken so we had to walk up. Upon entering Yard House, we were quickly greeted and seated. Our waiter arrived shortly and took our drink orders. I felt dehydrated so I went with water. The waiter gave me a a glass of lemons which is what the doctor ordered!! ;) A friend and I ordered the steak bowls which were delicious!! The other orders were the Thai grilled pork chop and the 8 oz filet mignon. Everyone loved their meals!! They offer a variety of menu items to drinks. Nice clean lines decor with TV's all around. Clean bathrooms and ample mall parking. Whether you're meeting friends for drinks and appetizers or catching up with friends and family with meals, this is a great place!! Our waiter was very cordial and attentive.

    Is there a rooftop?

    No, but there is a small outside patio area with room for maybe 10-20 people at small square tables. And the restaurant is on the second level at the Triangle.

    Hi there, is your restaurant Yard House Costa Mesa still open and what are the exact opening and closing times as well as the last order for food at night (for every day of the week). I do not seem to be able to connect to your website for some reas?

    Hey, Patrick! Yes. We are open Sunday - Thursday 11AM to 12AM with food last call at 11:30PM and Friday + Saturday 11AM to 12:30AM with food last call at 12AM.

    What's the max on people for reservations 2 weeks advance? or let me rephrase that, what's the max you would seat for a party?

    Hey Juliette! We actually don't take reservations at our Costa Mesa location. It is first come, first served.

    Does the Costa Mesa location offer reservation for a birthday?

    Yes they do

At this point zero management came to address this and zero servers as we asked for one . We were completely ignored . We were so hungry we just sat down desperate and starving. There was no omlette bar. (I was told on the phone there was an omlette bar before booking ) No sauces to go with any food. Dried up scrambled eggs and just a few dishes to choose from this 'buffet'. The ONLY salad dressings they had (2) were super sweet (no ranch) nothing . No flavor . Their non meat dishes were just one horrible dried up bean and grain pattie obviously frozen out of a box even an animal would never eat . It was that bad . Their 'replacement ' for almost zero dishes was a pancake ststion obviously to cut costs even more . The food was horrible . When you anticipate a special Mother's Day brunch that is horribly overpriced and get this in return its so disappointing and apalling .We were prepared to walk out after our bad news of no proper seating and terrible start but by then obviously we couldn't just go to another brunch on Mother's Day . Plus our other two guests were parking with a child so we were stuck. This was our only option or nothing. Its unbelievabke how am estsblishment can treat people like this especially on a soecial day like Mother's Day amd can command their pricing with no proper and safe seating for 4 with safe and healthy distancing with a fire pit as a SEAT. No apologies , no manager , nothing . just a terrible high bill, very little options and poor food quality . At best we should get a refund as this was false advertising and did not get a table for up to 4 . What an awful Mother's Day Brunch . We go out to eat EVERYWHERE around here but can't believe sonething like this can exist . So sad . This part of the day was ruined .

Got both the hot latte with 2% milk (12 oz) and iced latte with 2% milk + house made vanilla (12 oz). The house made vanilla was good, nothing special but did not have that artificial, alcohol-y taste you sometimes get from the store bought syrups. The drinks, however, tasted more milk than espresso forward. Not my personal preference but if you like your drinks on the milkier side this is probably better suited for your tastes. The flavor of the espresso was fine but I personally would have preferred to add a min additional shot or two for a more coffee forward taste, even with just the plain latte.

What I Love: * Unique Flavors: The food tastes great and they have some really unique touches. I love that they serve raspberry jam with their toast--it's a nice change from the standard grape or strawberry. * Homemade Quality: It's really cool that they do their own house-made potatoes and even their own homemade ketchup. You can tell they put effort into the details. The Drawbacks: * Pricing & Fees: I'd give this 4.5 stars if I could, but I'm sticking with 4 because it's definitely on the pricey side. What really bugs me is seeing a mandatory tip/service charge for certain group sizes on the receipt. Between the expensive menu and the fact that they are constantly busy with plenty of business, it feels like price gouging. * Parking: The parking lot is very small, so be prepared for a bit of a struggle to find a spot, especially since they are always packed. Final Thoughts: The food and unique house-made items keep me coming back, but be prepared for a high bill and a tight parking situation.
