incredible atmosphere, fast service, amazing food, literally no issues. 100% recommend

PROS: The staff is friendly, food was good, they had order tablets, place was clean, bar had 124 drinks on tap, and the food didn't take that long to come out. As you would expect they have tvs everywhere CONS: They are understaffed on the weekdays. Which means half the tables remain empty which creates a long waitlist OVERALL: I would definitely come here since it is a good spot. Just make sure you're patient with them read more

Yard House is a very cool sports like bar. They had a wide variety of options to pick from and a ton of beer options. Thought it was very cool they had a ton of local beers. We ordered the pepperoni pizza, boneless wings (bbq and lemon pepper) and sweet potato fries. The food came out super quick and the served was attentive and straight forward. This location is awesome with it being in a mall we walked around and shopped around afterwards. read more

The food was so good and I was so hungry, that I forgot to take photos. Service was great even after our service ended her shift. They ended up getting the adult mac & cheese, and it was so so good because it had truffle in it. The portion on this was also a huge so I had plenty of leftovers for the next day. I would definitely recommend this location, but because it is in American dream mall, please prepare for a wait. read more

Great service! staff was attentive and welcoming. Drinks were tasty but not very strong (3/5) the food came out warm and good overall, though it could've used a bit more flavor (3/5) Good experience overall! read more

Upon putting our names down, we had gotten notified ~15 mins that our table was ready - despite being told it could take up to 35 mins. There's a lot of different types of seating - booths, high chairs, and bar seating. There's also many appetizer and shared dish options if you just want to have a light happy hour - but there's salads, burgers, sandwiches, pastas, and more to munch on. I opted for the Mediterranean Salmon which is featured on their Light/Under 700 menu - definitely tastes healthy! read more

Absolutely love there happy hour, good food and great drinks.

Pretty cool bar/restaurant in the food area of the Mall. In the back of the restaurant there are huge windows looking into Big Snow which is the indoor ski area. I don't drink much but they are know for their yard beers and they have kegs and all kinds of beer. There's a bar of course as well as seating. Booths and tables. I was here for the food and it was worth its. Delicious. Service was good too. Our server took our order though you could have used the tablet at the table as well. Food came out quickly and timely and we paid via the table. Awesome lunch or dinner place. read more

Went on a Saturday for lunch and it was pretty crowded, but they were able to seat me pretty quickly. Atmosphere is great for watching sports or just enjoying a meal (definitely on the louder side though). The service was a little slow, but the food was really good (highly recommend the ahi tuna sandwich). My only other complaint... what was this bs charge for my kid playing a game on the tablet they stick at the tables and force you to use? read more

Great service & staff was super friendly. Wait was pretty quick for 4 people & texted you when the table was ready. Food & drinks were great. Loved their onion rings, nachos, & buffalo chicken pizza! restaurant definitely gets busy but great spot for dinner/lunch at American dream. read more

DELICIOUS calamari wonderful service thanks to Iza! It's a great spot in the mall to just get away from all the action sit down and watch some sports and have over 130 drafts of beer. Let's gooooooo! read more

This place was packed on a Saturday afternoon, so I imagine it's even more crowded at dinner/during a big sporting event. We didn't have to wait to be seated because they do have a ton of tables, ranging from the "en plein air" seating overlooking the mall to the windows overlooking the skiing. Despite the crowds, we had great service. We started with the Bavarian pretzel which was a little expensive but very crunchy on the outside and soft inside with tasty beer cheese and tangy mustard sauces. I wanted to balance out the calorie count with something on their "under 700 calories" menu (which was pretty small). I got the steak bowl, and the steak was cooked nicely, but I think they overdid it with the red pepper flakes, making it spicier than I expected. The waiter was good with bringing more water. He got the filet mignon which comes with designated sides but he was able to switch out vegetables to his liking. It was cooked perfectly. Music was loud so that it was a little hard to hear other people at your table. Tables were very close together so just had to be aware of where to put my bag as to not be in the way. Overall, ambiance was nice, food was nice but more on the expensive side for casual eating, but it was a popular location. I looked over other mall eateries, and this was the best at having something for everyone. read more

Very busy location so be ready to wait! That being said, our server was new, but extremely helpful and accommodating! The food came out promptly, hot and everything was correct! Although there was a bit of a wait (it was a Sunday after a game at MetLife) it was definitely worth it to avoid traffic leaving the area. Would return in the case of a similar scenario. read more

After visiting an expo at MetLife Stadium midweek, my family retreated to American Dream Mall in search of dinner. One of the only places that remained open past 8pm was Yard House - and while the food was decent, the time and money spent was not worth it at all. With a large menu you'll find something for everyone. Burgers to sushi to Szechuan noodles, Yard House has elevated diner fare with classic rock blaring across the dimly lit restaurant for all to hear. You have a view of the ski mountain from this restaurant, which is pretty cool! Unfortunately, when we dined in the service was atrocious. It took what felt like forever to receive drinks, have our order taken, and once our order was actually placed it took ~2 hours to receive our food. A member of the staff did come out to apologize, but after a long day of work and a long two hours at an expo, what we thought was going to be a quick meal turned into a 3 hour dining experience - so we were not happy, nor were we even hungry for the food at that point. The few bites we did eat were edible, but nothing spectacular. The bill for our food was astronomical for what it was, so with that in mind I don't think I will ever return unless I truly had to. The tomato soup was quite good though - I will give them that! read more

Yard House is a bar/restaurant offering American fare and a large selection of beers on tap. This location is in the American Dream Mall in Court A, Level 3. The menu has a little bit of everything - steak, chicken, seafood, salads, pizzas, and small bites. If you're a beer and cider fan, this spot will be heaven for you. There are endless options - they have over 160 varieties to choose from! They also have a midday and late night Happy Hour. We came as a walk-in on a Friday afternoon and were seated immediately. There's plenty of seating, a large bar, TVs, and even a view of the Big Snow (ski resort)! We only needed a light bite, so we ordered from the Happy Hour menu. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our food and drinks came out quickly. We got... *Grand Patron Margarita ~$12 *Half Yard Beer ~$12 *Boneless Wings with lemon pepper seasoning ~$8 *Chicken Lettuce Wraps with tofu, green onions, wonton cup, sweet chili, spicy peanut vinaigrette ~$8 The drinks hit the spot! I'm picky with my margaritas, but this one was just right. The beer came in a HUGE half yard glass, which was a pleasant surprise! Our food was alright, nothing to go crazy over. I was disappointed in the lemon pepper seasoning on the boneless wings. It was very salty and didn't have any hints of lemon. The breading was also a little overwhelming, but the chicken was hot and tender. Overall, it's a decent spot to enjoy drinks and apps at the American Dream Mall. read more

Came to grab a quick bite before going over to MetLife to see Chris Brown's concert. Walked in and only had to wait about 10 mins which was surprising due to everyone having the same idea to grab food before the show. While we waited they had his playlist in the restaurant to get us in the mood. Our waitress was sweet and fully explained the menu to us. We ordered some happy hour drinks and bites. The chicken nachos were huge and great for sharing . The spicy hummus was yummy and very tasty For our first time there it was a great experience I had wanted to check this spot out for a while! Will be coming back soon. read more

I had such a wonderful time dining at Yard House this past weekend. With the World Cup being in the area, it brought along with it the excitement of the crowds. Although the restaurant was packed, the workers handled the conditions well. After checking in with the hostess, we were told that there would be a thirty-minute wait, but we were pleasantly surprised that it was more like fifteen minutes, which was nice. One thing I deeply appreciated was that our greeter asked my husband and me if we were there to watch the game, and when we said no, she smiled and brought us to a table in the back of the restaurant, where there was less noise and it was more comfortable. We loved that where we were seated felt like we were dining at a ski lodge. The view from our table had a large window overlooking the indoor ski slopes at Big Snow- this made the dining experience extra special. Our waiter Eddie was awesome! He was friendly, very knowledgeable about the menu, and helped us decide on what to order. Upon his recommendations, we ordered the Firecracker Shrimp appetizer to share--which was so good! It was our favorite food item of the night. We would order it again. For entrees, we ordered the Spicy Jambalaya and Orange Chicken. The food came out quickly, was the perfect temperature, and was delicious. We appreciated our server's attentiveness, and he even gave us instructions on how to reheat the food for later. We also enjoyed their flavored lemonades. The Strawberry lemonade was good but the Dragonfruit hit differently- so definitely try that one. The service, food, and atmosphere were exceptional and we can't wait to visit again! read more

I just wanna say those poke nachos are the best I've ever had in life. Overall I'm extremely satisfied w everything read more

Yard House - Spinach dip, poke nachos, wings! - Bars Near Me - East Rutherford, New Jersey

What better way to welcome our guests, especially from Germany as first-timers, than to start at this establishment? Located inside the American Dream mall in East Rutherford, Yard House is known as the world's greatest taproom, with plenty to choose from regional breweries as well as exclusive in-house beers. Many people associate the well-known German drinking culture with the birthplace of beer. Greeted by the staff, the host led us to one of the best tables with a front view of the ski slope where we had dinner last night. Our friends were amazed at the scenery, as some of them went this past winter to ski in Austria. Their all-day menu offers appetizers, salads, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, tacos, and main entrees. My partners, our visitors, and I started out to toast their visit with the House Golden Pilsner, Kona Big Wave, and Stiegl Radler. We decided on the Fried Hot Chicken Sandwich with Fries, Classic Cheeseburger, Whiskey Burger, Boneless Ancho BBQ Wings, and Chicken Bowl. The food was solid, fresh, flavorful, and still hot when it reached the table. Good portion size, and the price was reasonable. Our server, Jim , was personable and knowledgeable, ensuring that we had everything we needed. All boxes checked, which is why we continue to recommend this place. read more

First time here and I didn't realize that saying I wanted a large beer meant this large! Good mistake I guess?! LOL. Went after a game show with coworkers for drinks and some apps. Was during the holidays so service was a bit slower than we would've liked but completely understood. The restaurant overlooks the ski slope so that is pretty cool for those out of town to experience. Ambiance was great! read more

The Yard House it was cool cause you're able to see the ski slope from where we were sitting at today. Nothing super special about the food. It was kind of boring. The service was good though. I really enjoyed our server. He was very nice and thorough. I probably won't go back here again because it just was kind of boring food was just OK. Price was typical medium priced. read more

First time here and we got lucky today with just a 10 minute wait. I have been here before and the wait was insane, but today it was completely fine. Those sushi nachos are one of the best apps I've ever had. So good try them, you won't be disappointed. I had the grilled chicken sando and it was so good. Overall I do recommend this place, I could see myself coming here with friends and eating and drinking way too much while we watch sports. Our server was great too I forget his name but super nice guy. Cheers! read more

The food at Yard House was delicious. For starters we got the traditional wings and the firecracker shrimp. 10 wings were in a serving as well as 10 shrimp. For the wings you can choose two flavors so we got buffalo and whiskey pepper. The whiskey pepper was so good I wish we chose only that flavor. For main dish I got the bacon burger. Whatever sauce that came on the burger was good, and it was cooked the way I asked for it. The service was really good especially given how crowded it was on a Sunday when the football game was playing. The margaritas were also good, not too strong and not overly sour. read more

I absolutely love this place. It is my go to and even an excuse to visit American Dream Mall. It is conveniently located near an entrance. It is on the third floor. You can access it by entering the A parking lot and taking the escalator up. It is right next to the escalator exit on 3rd floor. The place is huge and has astonishing views of the indoor snowboarding spot which is located under on the second floor. It is truly really inexpensive and has great tasting beer and cocktails. Happy hour is until 6PM daily. They offer a variety of food selection at half off which basically you can get skier sand fries for less than $9 and they are delicious. The staff is very friendly and most of the time you are seated right away. Pro tip: ensure that no events are happening because if they are inside or nearby then you will be best of getting a reservation. read more

Wasn't anything special but watching the snowboard/ski slope was unique. I had the double jack burger with fries and it did not disappoint and the server was good at his job and didn't over check on the table and I always had a full beer and water. It wasn't very loud so I was able to still talk to my table. read more

Nothing to write home about - the best part of the evening was the service. Our waitress was helpful, attentive and sang happy birthday for one of our guests, and he got a cake/brownie. The food felt like standard pub food, with each screen displaying a different sport. They have multiple beers on tap, and a pretty extensive cocktail selection as well. The best was probably the spinach dip. Inside was a bit loud, and it was hard to hear conversations. The floor was also sticky and the bathrooms weren't as clean. I would give this place a 5/5 for service, but not sure if I would recommend the rest for ambiance and food read more

I was excited when I saw on every menu 1/2 price apps & pizza during happy hour M-F 3-6pm... I was looking forward to trying some of their appetizers, perhaps making this a regular stop.

Excellent time here which exceeded expectations. I thought it would be an average American restaurant but I was wrong. Service was timely and friendly. They have an extensive beer selection but was out of Sam Adam's Oktoberfest. 1. Chicken nachos - huge and easily split between 3+ people. Great variety of ingredients on top and is the overall #2 best nachos that I have had. Plenty of chicken also 2. Nashville hot chicken sandwich - came out hot and spicy and was delicious! Only gripe is that it is saucy and comes dripping but was only a minor issue. Overall, had a great time here. Plenty of TVs for sports. Good beer and food and service! Would happily come again. read more

Been here several times now and was actually surprised that I haven't made a review! ( I will update next time I'm in and add photos!) Great place if you are interested in a beer and some great food. Their menu is EXTENSIVE and I often times struggle to decide what I want to order off their menu. They have the typically "bar food" like flatbreads, nachos, and wings but also have Asian and Latin inspired dishes. This is one of my favorite things about Yard House, the large variety of options - but also always makes it so complicated to order lol As we were waiting to place our food order, the food coming out to the tables around us smelled soooo good and made my decision that much harder. This last visit my husband and I shared the queso dip and chose to add meat. This portion was HUGE and came with both chips and flour tacos. We also wanted to also try the Asian garlic noodles, which were to die for! For my entree, I went for birria tacos and my husband had the truffle burger. We both loved our meals and my husband got an IPA and I the strawberry mule. I've never had an issue with service, but also every time we've come by, we had to put our name on a waitlist. This is to be expected as this Yard House is located in the American Dream mall and there are often events that are ongoing. This day we visited there was a big game on, which accounted for the longer wait time. FYI- you have to pay for parking for all stores and restaurants located in American Dream. read more
