    Classic Sliders
    Isabel T.

    Came for happy hour on friday. We joined the waitlist ahead of time so when we checked in we waited 10/15 minutes, highly recommend. Inside was quite spacious, could def fit more tables. Since we were ordered happy hour stuff we jus ordered using the little thingy on each table. It all came out very fast tbh prob 5-10 minutes. We ordered too much lol: - fried calamari: not bad but not great, batter was flavorless wouldnt get again - chicken tenders: good! Juicy chicken tenders, the sauce, im guessing honey mustard or smth was TOO sweet - sliders: 4 sliders, alright nothing special - chicken nachos: big plate, chips were alr soggy when we got it, not bad but wouldnt grt again - carnivore pizza: dry, super oily not great - buffalo chicken pizza: i liked the pizza dough, pretty good Total was 70 including tax n tip. Service was pretty good. Came up to check on us many many times but never actually refilled our waters, we did not ask to ig but we assume they usually do. Would come back again for happy hour and order less lol

    We decided on stopping by Yard House and delighted that's it's not far from our home. We were greeted upon entering, the wait time was 5mins. I was amazed at the floor size and decor. Our server was Emily with the best personality and professionalism. We ordered the House Cheesesteak with Fries, Everything Crusted Ahi Tuna Sandwich with Onion Rings and Beer-Battered Fish and Chips. The food was served heat hot and totally delicious. Oh my goodness packed with lots of flavor. I absolutely loved the Ahi sandwich. Hats off to the Chef.

    Super excited that there is a Yard House in Elk Grove! Located in The Village plaza. Came here Friday for dinner and there was a long wait. We waited for almost an hour. Poke Nachos, Firecracker Shrimp, Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and Truffled Mushroom Pizza were all good. The truffled mushroom pizza was the star of the night. It was delicious! All the food came out promptly even though they were really busy. Service was good overall. Seating indoor and outdoor. Music was really loud. You will have to shout so other people can hear you. Hopefully, they will eventually tone down the volume of the music one day. Definitely not a place for a first date as you want to be able to hear one another without shouting at each other =P Parking can be a challenge.

    We came here opening week, during their happy hour, from 3-6pm, Monday through Friday. During happy hour, some of the selected items on the menu is half off appetizers and selected drinks are discounted. The place was very busy. There were a lot of people waiting for tables, but we gave it a try anyways. It was just two of us, and we got seated right away. I guess we were lucky. Everyone was waiting for tables for bigger parties. We ordered a variety of things to try. Chicken tenders, pizza, cheeseburger sliders and poke nachos. Everything was pretty good. The chicken tenders were not dry. The cheeseburger sliders were ok. I put mayonnaise and ketchup in the sliders. That made the sliders taste better. I thought the sliders were a little dry and needed something. Pizza was good, but the poke nachos were not my thing. The poke nachos were way too spicy for me. My husband liked it. Yeah, happy hour was worth it. It's a big plus in my book. I would probably not have ordered so many things to try if they were not half off. Service was ok. They have a lot of staff. The place was very busy and the service isn't bad. They did a good job for first week of opening. Parking is limited. The parking lot is not big. I think there is not enough parking spaces for the entire plaza. The lot is full for Yardhouse and Whole Foods is not even opened yet. To think when Whole Foods does open, it's going to be crazy.

    Pulled up to Elk Grove to check out the newest Yardhouse location and also to celebrate a friend's birthday. The vibes were extremely high as the energy of the staff could be felt throughout the new building. There was a long wait for seating inside but patio seating was available so that's what we chose to do. They did a great job of laying down some turf and putting tables and chairs utilizing the entire outside space. It wasn't as hot as I expected either. If you've been to Yardhouse you know their menu is huge. In my opinion is comparable to BJ's and if I had to choose which one is better it would be like splitting hairs. They have the world's largest selection of beer on tap. And they are known for their unique glasses which are called Yards and half Yards. Liquor is also available here for cocktails and shots which we did a few of to celebrate. Went with the sliders. Always my favorite here. My friend enjoyed the vampire tacos which looked super crispy and cheesy. Going to order that one next time. As a West Sacramento resident I'm a bit envious at Elk Groves ability to secure top eateries. Glad to have a place like Yardhouse to hangout at when I meet up with my Elk Grove friends.

    We've been waiting for Yard House to open for a while. We even waited a few weeks before attempting to dine in. Sunday was probably a bad choice while FIFA World Cup game is playing! Yard House has TV's everywhere! The bar area was packed! Dining inside was not available. They have many outdoor tables. Note: not all tables have umbrellas in the sun! So, when we arrived, we were told approximately an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. By the time we sat down, it was an hour and a half. We will write this off to the excitement of the game! When our hostess took us to our table, there were three guys who were already sitting there! They were politely asked to leave. It seemed there were people just entering the patio area and sat down to watch the games. Good for them for getting away with it, but probably bad for business. ( Some drinking Philz coffee ) Emily was our waitress. She's very helpful and friendly. We ordered the Thai Grilled Pork Chops! We had to stick with water due to our outdoor dining had no umbrella! Hydration is important! Overall, we've been to many Yard House locations. Their food has always been delicious and their employees are very cheerful and friendly. We noticed three empty tables while waiting. As we dined, we noticed it was unoccupied. As we left, it was still empty. I think they need to fine tune their table system! People walking in through the bushes to sit and watch the games while guests are waiting is bad news. It's still a great place to eat and meet friends and family! We love their menu items.

    Small Ahi Crunchy Salad $16.99. Very good but too much dressing for me

    We were told this restaurant has only been open about a month, and judging by the crowd, it's already a huge hit! I guess Elk Grove needed a Yard House!! We arrived around 1:30 on a Sunday, and the place was absolutely packed. There was about a45 minute wait, and people were everywhere. It was honestly pretty crazy. Temps were hot as hell outside but the restaurant was nice and cold!! Parking sucks a$$ because it's under construction. No fault of Yard House. Despite how busy they were, the staff had everything running like a well-oiled machine. Our party of seven was seated within the estimated wait time, and our waitress was friendly, patient, and attentive while we waited for the rest of our group to arrive. I like that we didn't have to have our whole party to be there in order to be seated! The biggest surprise was how quickly the food came out. Once we placed our order, our meals were on the table in what felt like less than 10 minutes. I ordered the small Ahi tuna salad ($16.99), and it was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect size.

    Gochujang brussel sprouts  - Excellently yummylicious!

    Update on my previous review. OMG !!! I just found out that there's an off off menu of Root Beer Foat available if you smile and wink three times, not four times, but three times! Came in for the happy hour and ordered about seven different dishes, and of course the blended Margarita with the upscale / top shelf Tequila. Nothing better to have with friends and family than a great meal and a good time with happy and congenial servers. Not to mention that two letter competitive restaurant, but everything here is a lot better and the waiters and waitresses are a hell-of-a lot better looking to lol - i think the second margarita just kicked in. I blame Krystyn for the second margarita. (Jk). Wonderful service, great menu, and awesome management makes the deal. The tvs located throughout the establishment are also a deamaker.

    House Cheesesteak with Salad

    Waited a few weeks after Yard House had their grand opening because it's always crazy when a new restaurant opens in Elk Grove and takes awhile for the staff to get into the swing of things. When my small group arrived on a Sunday evening, parking was easy, we were quickly seated, and our waiter dropped by within minutes. The waiter had great suggestions especially when it came to the beer on tap. The atmosphere was popping with happy conversations and music that matched the videos on the multiple TVs. Our dishes started arriving after 5-10 minutes. Most tasted as expected; the best was the Mac & Cheese, but the Cheesesteak could've used onions, green peppers, and mushrooms. Prices were as expected and we felt that we received our money's worth. Make sure to come during their Lunch & Lat Night Happy Hour. We were content to add another option to have our late night spots.

    Busy new location with a few opening-week hiccups! This new Elk Grove location opened on 6/22/2026, and the public interest is definitely high. I came on 7/7 around 5 PM and was surprised to see the line going all the way outside. The indoor dining room, bar, and outdoor patio were all packed. Luckily, my friend had already put our group on the waitlist around 4:30 PM. Parking: Free, but limited for now because the shopping center is still being developed. Several businesses are under construction, so some parking spaces are taken up by construction vehicles, materials, and portable toilets. Restrooms: Clean and decent. Service: Friendly overall, but there were a few hiccups. Water was served right away without us asking, which was nice. They started taking drink orders first, but then also took food orders from some of us, so it felt a little unorganized. I asked for a sample of a beer I'd never tried before so I could decide what to order. I expected the sample to come first, but it arrived together with everyone else's drinks, so it didn't really help me make a decision. Our food also came out in two batches. About half the table got their meals first, while the rest of us waited a while longer. We ended up sharing food until everyone's orders finally arrived. Our server checked on us a couple of times and cleared empty plates and glasses. There was one funny moment when he asked if I was done with my drink. I said, "Not yet," but he had already picked it up. As soon as he realized it, he put it back and apologized. Afterward, they offered dessert, and a few people in our group ordered some. One thing that stood out was how loud it was inside. There wasn't any music playing, but the restaurant was so noisy that we had to practically shout just to talk to the people sitting next to us or across the table. If you're coming with friends and want to actually have a conversation, I'd recommend sitting on the outdoor patio. Overall, it's a great addition to Elk Grove. The staff was friendly, and most of the issues seemed like normal growing pains for a brand-new restaurant that's been incredibly busy. Happy hour: Mon-Fri (3pm-6pm): half price apps and pizza. $2 off beers, wine, spirits, cocktails!

    Calamari (Happy hour portion)
    Lynn H.

    We stopped by the new Yard House in Elk Grove on a Friday afternoon around 3:15 and were pleasantly surprised to find out Happy Hour runs from 3-6 p.m. Since appetizers were half off, we ordered a variety so we could sample several items. The poke nachos were my favorite and something I'd definitely order again. The chicken lettuce wraps were delicious and came with two dipping sauces--I especially liked the peanut sauce. We also tried the boneless wings (lemon pepper and another flavor) and the calamari, and everything was tasty. Since it's one of Elk Grove's newest restaurants, it was definitely busy. We were quoted about a 25-minute wait, but it ended up being closer to 40 minutes. It seemed like they were pacing seating instead of filling every open table at once, which I appreciated because it probably helped keep the kitchen from getting overwhelmed during the opening rush. Once we were seated, our food came out quickly. Our server, Jordyn, was wonderful. She mentioned this was her first serving job, and honestly, you never would have guessed. She was friendly, attentive, checked on us throughout our meal, and kept my husband's iced tea refilled without us having to ask. The only minor hiccup was that they were out of the beer my husband originally ordered, but she let him know right away so he could choose something else. Parking was a bit of a walk since part of the shopping center is still under construction, and several spaces were being used by construction crews. Overall, we had a great first visit. Between the Happy Hour prices, the tasty appetizers, and excellent service from Jordyn, we'll definitely be back.

    I was anticipating the opening of Yardhouse in Elk Grove. I like their Downtown location but parking is tricky in DOCO and sometimes pricey! So, parking in EG will be much easier! We braved the crowd and came here on Thursday for their Happy Hours between 3-6 pm (Mon. to Fri.). Not sure if it was the 4th of July weekend or they are still new, or both....it was packed! Arrive early if you want to take advantage of their HH. We got here at 3:00 pm and waited for about 15 min. to be seated but the lines started to form outside very quickly. You don't want to get here at 5 pm, wait in line to find out you didn't make the HH. DRINKS $2 off on a selection of cocktails, beer and wine. My Lychee Cosmo cocktail was pretty, sweet and tasty but I barely felt the alcohol. My sister got the Blue Moon beer. For pint size, it was less than $5 after the HH discount. It was cold and served in a chilled beer glass. APPETIZERS A good selection of appetizers are half off during HH and we took full advantage of that. -Margherita Pizza - I love the crust. It's not too thin with a nice texture. I can use a little more tomatoes sauce. 5/5. -Seared Ahi Sashimi - The sashimi is fresh but the sauce is a bit salty. Nice presentations. 3.5/5. -Calamari - It was overly fried with lots of small hard pieces. The two sauces are good. 3/5. -Poke Nachos - The first time I had it in DOCO was amazing. They use different kind of nachos. It's not as fresh and crunchy. I think the portion is a smaller too. 3/5. -Brussels Sprouts - I like that they put a twist to the sauce with a nice kick. Tasty dish. 5/5. -Classic Sliders - it comes with 4 mini sliders with french fries. Good portion. 4/5. -Chicken Wings - We got the Korean BBQ. It was just okay. Your average party wings. 3.5/5 You can order with your server and/or using the tablets on the table. We opted in to order the food on the tablet because we can see the pictures, prices, and customize the item. For some reason, we couldn't order the HH Chicken Wings on the tablet and the server put it in for us. When I got the bill to pay, I noticed we were charged full price for the Chicken Wings. It was $10 more and I address this with our server. She came back and said that it wasn't a HH item and that's why we couldn't order it on the tablet. That doesn't make sense because I can see the item and the HH price but couldn't add it. Even if that was the case, she should say something right off the bat. I didn't want to argue about $10 and ruin my evening. Clearly, they still have to work on some grand opening issues. It's a large restaurant with patio seating. As far as I know, they do not take reservations. I recommend allowing extra time and expect a wait until the hype dies down.

I was put off by the blue cheese mash beneath it a bit but it's ok because the short rib was so delicious. For dessert I had the berry crumb cobbler. The cobbler came with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. It was great! The berries were sweet and the crumb top was so buttery. Everything flowed deliciously. My husband had the filet mignon.. he said it was made medium rare just as he asked. And of course the crème brûlée is the reason why he keeps coming back lol My go to for fine dining in Elk Grove!

It seems like a tough crowd--but after my visit, I can see why expectations run high. My cheeseburger featured high-quality, freshly ground beef that was well-seasoned with a flavorful, salty crust. The patty was tender and juicy, exactly what you want from a handcrafted burger. The brioche bun was nicely toasted, and the cheese melted perfectly over the patties--both essential details that elevate a great cheeseburger. The burger was simply but thoughtfully assembled with shredded lettuce, sliced onion, pickles, and Butcher's aioli. Their house-made sauce added a nice depth of flavor without overpowering the beef. I appreciated how they kept the toppings classic and balanced--fresh, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, red onion, and tangy pickles complement the richness of the patty and sauce beautifully. The fries were just as impressive. They had that ideal contrast: an ultra-crispy, golden-brown exterior with a light, fluffy interior. Perfectly seasoned, pleasantly salty, not greasy, and sturdy enough to hold their shape--they checked all the boxes. Overall, they hit all the key elements of a truly great handcrafted cheeseburger and fries. High marks from me.

The establishment is clean and has a seating area for dine in. The meats were juicy and tender, not dry like I've had at other places. The rice was seasoned well. The salad added a great way to cut through the meats and rice. Everything was delicious and we will definitely return with some changes in HOW we order. (Less sauce and crispier fries). Advice we received from one of the men working there... the bowls will get you stuffed and the gyros will be perfect. He was so right, however, I did order a lot. Mixed platter & chicken platter: 9/10 needs less sauce (but this is my opinion) in the future I'll order sauce on the side. Loaded fries: 6/10 everything was good, the fries just were supposed to be the main attraction and they weren't. I will order this again though, and ask for the fries to be double fried extra crispy Mixed Gyro: 9/10 everything was perfect.

The Standouts: * Oh my goodness get that octopus dish back in my mouth. Wow, I can't describe adequately the unique texture they were able to get on it, with a crispy exterior and tender interior. There was a generous helping of garlic sauce which came with it and the potatoes that were on the side were also fantastic. Easily the best dish of the night. * The Ravioli was also delicious. It comes with a herby, earthy pesto on top and a delightful balance of cheese filling. * Lovely selection of Italian drinks including alcoholic and NA options * Interesting bruschetta flight - 4 pieces of toast each with a different type of topping. The onion Jam and pesto ones stood out to me. The Improvement Points: * The AC was not working very well when we were there. It got pretty toasty in the dining room given that it was a Sacramento summer day. I would love to see the AC back up and running next time. * The Carbonara, while nice, was not a standout in my opinion. They have a carbonara, they do it well enough, but nothing particularly special - light on the guanciale. * Location is certainly loud. Just the way the dining room is designed, no problem with the experience. Just be prepared to listen and speak up a little for dinner.

    The theme of today's meal was unfortunately S A L T…read more The Octopus appetizer was the best part of the meal. The yukon gold potatoes were amazingly crispy with a nice bite to the skin. The inside was pillow-y soft, and when mixed with the salsa verde was full of flavor with a fabulous punch of garlic. The salsa verde could be put over a nice flank steak and it would absolutely kill. That said, the octopus was a bit *too* crispy. I felt I had to really chew to get it down, and I just wanted a nice snappy skin for some textural juxtaposition. For my entree, I got the Bolognese which was definitely full of salt. The pasta was wonderfully thin and bouncy, but I feel the chef may have had an off-day. My friend and I had to down like multiple cups of water with our meal which made it hard to enjoy. Plus, the garlic bread felt like biting into a brick. The inside was quite fluffy and soft, but the crust was simply too crispy. I almost felt like my teeth were going to give way. Honestly, I can't in good faith recommend this place to my friends, so neither would I recommend it to you. (aside from the pasta classes)

    5/5 experience this time.

It's a great place for a date, dinner amongst friends, and dining solo at the bar. I actually think it's a great spot for a martini / cocktail and some oysters before you go somewhere else. I come here a lot for a off menu cheeseburger, and it's solid (4/5) The focaccia was superb. Had that balance of crispness with being fluffy and light. Comes with a balsamic and olive oil dressing but that is superfluous IMO. The oysters were fine. I wish they sourced from around here vs BC. You get some nice oils to add to them on the side. The peppers were such a delightful and tasty snack especially with the Caesar. The seasonal greens were a great accompaniment to the whole chicken. The chicken had this awesome curry flavor to it. I believe it was Malaysian based. It was perfectly moist with a well seasoned and crispy-ish crust. Not pictured, but we also had the pole beans which were seasoned in a tamarind sauce and with Chinese sausage which I think added to the flavor profile of the chicken. Definitely $$$$ with cocktails but it's a great move with the chase sapphire benefit (IYKYK)

Even though the dishes are beautifully curated small bites, we left completely stuffed and thoroughly satisfied. Every single plate was a work of art, boasting a cohesive theme that came alive through wonderful verbal storytelling from the staff. It added a rich, engaging layer to the meal that made the evening feel even more exclusive. While it is certainly a investment and not somewhere we would frequent regularly, it was an incredibly notable, worthwhile experience. We do not regret a single cent or a single bite. If you are looking to celebrate a major life milestone in Sacramento, this Michelin-starred gem is worth every bit of the praise!

    This was just... fine. Sure, the food was good. But it was not exceptional. Very small portions. I…read moredidn't feel like it was honestly worth the cost. Maybe I had too high of expectations? We came in a group, and apparently they ask beforehand about diet preferences but unfortunately because I was not the person who scheduled it, I did not get to. And when we sat down with drinks, apparently it's too late to change? So I was stuck giving some of my dishes away. Fine, that's a me problem I suppose. But they should definitely have alternatives available in my opinion. But the worst part for me was the whole thing was so very pretentious. Yes, I understand that it is an amazing accomplishment to get a Michelin star. But wow, let's be a little more down to earth could we? And sorry, having tattoos and wearing casual clothes does not make you seem less pretentious by the way. I was not expecting to have to listen to the chef speak about himself for every course, and then be put on display while they watched you eat. It was incredibly awkward and so..... ostentatious. Not my vibe at all. Not worth the cost.
