We had such a great experience at Yard House! We came in to celebrate my birthday with my husband, our toddler & my husband's brother. Our baby was sleeping during our visit & it was such a nice family outing. From the moment we sat down, our server Jessica was amazing. She was friendly, attentive & made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Great service really makes a difference & she definitely helped make our visit special. We started by ordering through the tablet at the table which was super convenient. Our margherita pizza came out quickly & it was delicious! I also ordered the watermelon margarita with a sugar rim instead of salt & it was so good. It's definitely one of my favorites. My husband enjoyed his stout beer & our family also got a Shirley Temple & chocolate milk. For appetizers, we tried the onion ring tower which was such a fun presentation. The onion rings were crispy & came with both spicy ranch & regular ranch. We also ordered the boneless wings with the sauces on the side so we could try different flavors. The spicy Korean chili sauce had a nice kick especially paired with the ranch & the barbecue sauce was sweet, tangy & had a little bit of a kick too. The chicken itself was really good! For our meal, my husband & I shared the whiskey Swiss burger (with mushrooms & Swiss cheese) & it was amazing. The flavors went so well together & the sweet potato fries were honestly some of my favorite. They were so good that they were still delicious the next day! Of course, we had to finish with dessert & our daughter loved her Oreo sundae. She was so excited & it was the perfect treat to end the meal. We have actually been to Yard House before & have always enjoyed it. On a previous visit, we tried their kids cheese pizza, margherita pizza with extra cheese, barbecue chicken salad & the poke nachos. The barbecue chicken salad was really flavorful & the poke nachos were a fun first time try for my husband. I also love the watermelon margarita so much that I got it again! Overall, Yard House continues to be a great spot for a family meal, celebrations & trying different dishes. Great food, fun drinks & excellent service from Jessica made this birthday visit one to remember. We will definitely be back! read more

Honestly I've only had the HH menu here but it is so good and worth. Pro tip for the chicken nachos you can ask them to sub fries (frachos). I like chips though so we got both. Huge portion and it's half off. I personally like the poke nachos over better. The boneless wings were surprisingly moist and crispy. Calamari/pizza was standard. Blackened ahi tuna was okay. Brusselsprouts had this spicy glaze which was really good. Beers and cocktails also on discount. Tons of variety. I like their cocktail selection. Service was great and they had the World Cup games on. You can also order HH stuff on iPad which makes it super quick. Large space and surprisingly fit us 6 people quickly. We came at 4p but by 5p there was a line. read more

We were in town for a conference at Vanguard University and were encouraged to eat here... And we pass on the recommendation! The staff were friendly and efficient... Our order was filled correctly and the food came very quickly and was streaming hot and delicious! There were sports playing on all the tvs which are visible from most seats. Amazingly, the noise level was moderate... Tvs were muted, thankfully! read more

Food: Wow the happy hour on weekdays from 3-6 PM is so good! All appetizers are half off, and our favorites were the poke nachos and margherita pizzas! The appetizers that are half off are on the last page of their menu under the title, "Happy Hour". The drinks were good too! Tried the watermelon margherita and loved drinking this with the spicy rim! Ambiance: The atmosphere is dark, lively, and bar-like! We went on a day there was a World Cup game, and the whole restaurant cheering was such a beautiful, uplifting experience! Also, there is so much parking at this location in their parking structure. Then it's a short walk up to the second floor to Yard House. Lastly, the bathroom was clean and spacious. Please go during happy hour with your friends, and enjoy some appetizers and drinks! read more

Got the opportunity to stop in at this location for the Yard House. The insides are nice and clean, and the service chair was excellent. I tried to whiskey, glazed salmon and let me tell you that was very good. He came out and well prepared.

My friends & I stopped by for happy hour. Great deals for their appetizers/pizza & alc beverages! The restaurant was quite spacious and was lively during the time we visited. Service was just okay. The drinks were a tad strong but were all good selections. We were all satisfied with the food that we ordered and especially liked the calamari, margarita pizza, and the poké nachos! read more

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! :) read more

We came to Yard House in Costa Mesa specifically to watch the Mexico vs. South Korea World Cup match, and unfortunately the experience was incredibly disappointing. The game initially started with the Spanish broadcast, which made sense considering the overwhelming majority of guests were there supporting Mexico. After it was switched to English due to complaints from a few tables, many of us at the bar asked if it could be switched back. The bartenders, Julio and Nev, were fantastic, they listened, advocated for us, and repeatedly checked with management. Unfortunately, they were told no. When we spoke with the manager, Jennifer, her solution was simply to turn the audio off completely. That didn't feel like a compromise, it felt like everyone lost. We even suggested playing the second half in Spanish as a fair middle ground, but she refused, saying it was a "lose-lose situation." Whether intentional or not, the way this was handled left many of us feeling dismissed. It was hard not to feel that the preferences of the predominantly Mexican fan base in the restaurant were treated as less important. The atmosphere completely changed, and what should have been an exciting World Cup experience became frustrating. The only reason I'm not giving one star is because Julio and Nev were exceptional. They were friendly, professional, and genuinely tried to help despite having no authority to make the decision. They deserve recognition for doing everything they could. Unfortunately, poor management overshadowed what could have been a great experience. read more

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. read more

wow what a deal this was! after hearing about the happy hour deal on social media, we had to stop by as we are suckers for happy hour and saving money. for apps, we went with the calamari and poke nachos, and for entrees, we ordered the carnivore and truffled mushroom pizza, and boneless wings. cant forget about the beers so we did 2 half yards and 3 extra pints. the beer selection at yard house is super extensive so we had to take advantage. the food was all pretty good quality, i was surprised that i enjoyed it all so much! and the 4 of us were overly stuffed and only spent less than $25 per person for a full dinner and lots of beers with leftovers to take home. the service was also amazing! our waiters were incredibly friendly and checked up on us frequently and for how busy the restaurant was at the hour, everything came out promptly. we dined outside on the patio since we had our dog with us but beware that the area does tend to fill up quick as there aren't too many tables outside but there was plenty of seating inside as well. 10/10 recommend happy hour here! we will definitely be back :) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

The good: Great, loud atmosphere especially during sporting events Tons of awesome beer from all over the world Servers we've had have been enthusiastic, friendly Open kitchen Some food items were good The bad: Super crowded at times Sometimes way too loud for some Bathrooms, typical for high occupancy places I haven been a monthly customer since they've opened. I've seen many menu changes. and rarely see the same wait person after one month. At peak times, it's a real slow crowded walk from the parking lots, through the hall to the Yard House. But I love it here. On reason is because of the four beer flight where you can choose any four of their worldwide beers. Mt friends and I have always loved the upbeat loud atmosphere, though not a place if you want a quiet, romantic dinner. We've ways had interactive wait persons, a fun and lively crowd, several big screen TV's, and music. Food wise, we've always enjoyed the salmon. Last time, it came with mashed potatoes and grilled baby carrots and asparagus ($29), and all was well cooked and plated. But this last time I had the Cheese steak sandwich. It was a tad too salty and came with crispy fries. Great with the Mango Cart Beer, Sam Adams, Hefeweizen, and Nut Brown beer. The previous time was better because it was during the World Series and the Dodgers pulled out a win. It was a cool community support feeling , except for the lone dude and his date rooting for Toronto. I wish I k new his name, but the wait person told us we had three minutes to order their Happy Hour Menu. Cheaper beer, and appetizers were good. I ordered the cheeseburger sliders but didn't come with additional lettuce, pickles or dressing like in the past. The lettuce chicken wraps were warm and good but instead of their leaf lettuce I prefer iceberg, a much crisper lettuce that when cold makes a contrast with the warm chicken. Overall, it was a great deal. I love the open kitchen and always briefly stop by the check out the kitchen on my way to the bathroom. The bathrooms aren't great but I think most of the beer drinkers are buzzed and don't care. Overall always a decent experience. read more

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 read more

I've been coming to this location for quite some time, thought I placed a review but can't find it. Anyhow, for the past 4 years maybe, I come here in hopes that Joyce is working. Though she's a manager, she's very hands on and a team player. She is friendly and welcoming, and makes sure all the customers are taken cared of. I don't eat much but whenever I order food, it's generally on point. The spicy Tuna Steak is so good and healthy too. I also get the spicy edamame. I appreciate them having Hashi (chopsticks) since I generally use them for my utensils. It's dim in all locations, not particularly good for my eyesight, so I just use my phone light to see the menu. It's always a chill environment, obviously can get loud on game days/nights and usually always busy, except right at opening. This location, as long as Joyce is there, you won't be disappointed :) read more

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! read more

We were there for lunch yesterday for the first time and the food was ten stars as was the service providing a delicious and very plesant experience. We could not have asked for better! I dropped a star for the condition of restroom supplies. The soap dispenser gives out a mixture of 85% water and 15% soap. So servers' hands and the hands of customers cannot be cleaned properly. Second, the paper towels provided are VERY thin. They often tear into pieces when retrieving them from the dispenser and one needs several to do the job. I plan to come back sometime for the excellence of the food and service and hope to see an improvement in the bathroom supplies as I see these money saving options as failing save vis a vis overuse of paper towels and unacceptable with regard to the lack of sufficient soap to insure that germs are eliminated efficiently. read more

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!

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. read more

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!! read more

Such an incredible happy hour. You can never go wrong. Dog friendly patio. the server brought out a small sample of a beer I was interested in but then she brought out something she thought I would like better and Yes! She was spot on! Heaters were turned on for us. She brought out water for the dogs without us asking. All though the ambiance is much nicer inside, we really enjoy being able to have our dogs with us on the patio.

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. read more

Yard House is my go-to happy hour spot! They have good service, and they always have games on the tv to enjoy the time. The happy hour has good deals on beer and good! I recommend the poke nachos as well as the garlic shiitake noodles (not on happy hour the noodle but only $11). Also, their nachos are huge! Great ambiance and it does get pretty busy so if you're like me, look at the bar for two empty seats! I've also had the fish and chips as well as got complementary dessert and since one of my friends is gluten free they were sweet enough to give us a bowl of fruit for our dessert! read more

My husband and I went on a double date with his best friend and his wife (fun fact, we're both currently pregnant lol) on a Sunday and we had a great experience. The food was delicious, we all had a good time. We ordered the Jambalaya, Steak Bowl, Chicken Tacos, Fish tacos, Calamari, 32 and 16oz beers, a mocktail (totaled to about $160 or so). Let me tell you, the tacos were incredible! Idk if I'd order the calamari again since it was mostly small little pieces of fried bread crumbs. Leaving that aside, everything was delicious! The service was phenomenal and the atmosphere was great! I would definitely come back to this location and recommend it based on our experience. read more

Came in on Sunday with a party of 6. Service was not good AT ALL. THIS IS 1 of like 2 negative reviews I've ever taken the time to write. I don't like to leave bad reviews but you can thank Jewels for this one :) The review is done specifically to talk about Jewels being a rude server. Apparently you cannot ask her anything- and I quote "you need to tell your waiter I just serve the food" and this was said with a straight I can't be bothered face- written all over it. What a joke. We still left over $50 tip on a $245 check since the waitress was sweet. Regardless of the fact that it did take way too long to flag someone to get the check, then wait for them to bring the check, come back for the check since we paid cash....in total that was around 30 mins wasted, waiting to pay and leave. Will never return to this establishment. Thanks Jewels. Your attitude sucks. Learn how to provide customer service if you're going to work IN customer service! Witch. read more

Food: A-. The Thai Salad was good. I devoured the Lobster Garlic noodles seasoned with the perfect amount of garlic. We were commenting on how Yard House is very consistent which is an exceptional restaurant. Service: B+. Our server was certainly attentive at the beginning. After we had already closed out she had an interview with a prospective employee so I went to find another employee to fetch me a plastic glass to take my sparkling water home. No biggie. Ambiance: A-. It was quiet because It was lunch on a Tuesday. Yard House never disappoints with the entertainment above the circular bar.

Had a great time at this location out of the few I have dined in at! Our server was amazing! Super attentive and kind. I cant recall his name but he gave recommendations for drinks and constantly helped clear the table when possible (much appreciated because other locations sometimes just left our table covered with plates and never came by once to remove some dishes we had finished). We did also order lots so it was hard to even make room for it all in the first place. The food was great as well! I noticed minor differences to other locations. I always visit during happy hour to take advantage of the deals. I love getting poke nachoes, but it had less sauce and fish it seemed than other Yard Houses. Everything else was great and variety of condiments provided from the start, which was never a thing for me at other locations. Again very attentive!!
