Me and my cousin Annie want to give a special thanks to some of the servers at this Elk Grove Restaurant. Xydon, tylee, jaedyn and cannot forget Hudson a customer never has to ask really for anything when you have GREAT HARD WORKING servers walking by your table and noticed a container might need a bag. They did not hesitate to ask. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO WE APPRECIATE YOUR COURTESY, RESPECT, SMILES, AND CONVERSATION *****

So excited that a yard house opened up by my house! It's still very busy here since it's been opened for less than a month, so be prepared to wait, especially during happy hour which is M-F from 3-6pm. We decided to come during happy hour for half off appetizers on a weds. We put our names down for a party of 6 and waited about 40 mins. After we got seated, ordering on the ziosk was seamless. All of the happy hour menu was in there and just a click away. Our server was amazing! He kept coming in several times to check on us and to refill our waters. We ordered a bunch of things from the happy hour menu and got to try all of it. It came out super quick, only like 10 mins after placing the order. My favorite was the chicken nachos and the white truffle mushroom pizza. My least favorites were the carnivore pizza and the sliders. They were whatever to me. I did enjoy the calamari, but felt like it had a lot of batter on it. Wings were good but a little salty. Really busy place inside. Thought it would be bigger since it was a new construction but bustling inside nonetheless. Very worth coming for happy hour. I do like the huge menu variety though and tons of beers and cocktails to choose from. Theres a few other items that I usually enjoy from yard house. There's also an outside patio to sit at. Parking is a little small and hectic but hoping that will fix itself when everything else in the plaza opens up.

I was excited to check out this new location. I heard it's only been open for about a month. The food is consistently good at every Yard House location. The pricing is pretty reasonable. The service here was rough at first, but once I received my orders, it improved. When I walked in, I immediately realized there was something going on. They were playing the World Cup on TV. People were waiting for tables and booths, but since I was by myself, I looked for a spot at the bar. There were a couple spots available, so I sat down and took one of them on the corner. It took several minutes for someone to approach me, even though a guy sat down a couple minutes after me and was approached within a minute. The female staff were attentive to everyone but me. A male staffer eventually came up to me and asked if I had been helped, then placed my order. He was the only one who was attentive to me. Another guy was standing at the bar "cleaning", but was mostly just watching the game. My drink was made in a timely manner and tasted great. I soon received my food order. Both my salad and burger arrived at the same time. I asked if they could bring the burger back out later because I wanted to eat my salad first and didn't want my burger to get cold, but they wound up just remaking it and bringing it out later. I appreciated the accommodation since I didn't clarify that beforehand. Once I made that request, a female staffer chimed in, but I told her the male staffer had it taken care of. She came by later and asked if everything was good. Once I was ready to go, a different female staffer closed my bill. Not sure which one was my actual server (even though neither of them served me), but I noticed one of their names on my receipt instead of the male staffer. I hope my tip actually went to him, but he might have been the manager? I have no idea. Besides the confusion with the ladies, I thought everything else was good. The male staffer was great and accommodating, and the food and drinks were perfect. This wasn't necessarily a bad experience, but it wasn't the best first impression. I might come back on a different day when it's not so busy and see how service is.

Came to have lunch here with some family. The restaurant is really big with lots of seating inside and out. Pretty busy seems like always so far. Service is great for it being busy. We ordered a couple items to share. We had the giant pretzel it came with beer cheese and ground mustard. I love giant pretzel and like to order it anywhere that has it. The beer cheese is not for me because I don't really care for beer. The mustard was ok. We also ordered some wings . Bbq and original hot. I liked the bbq wings. I'm not an original hot flavored girl. For our shared entree we ordered the truffled mushroom pizza added sausage and pepperoni. The pizza was hot and good but it tasted a bit on the salty side. I think it might've been the sauce it was topped with. Overall the restaurant was good. I'd probably come back to have drinks and snack.

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. Fried Calamari Onion Rings Tower House Cheesesteak Fontina Vodka Penne Adult Mac + Cheese Favorite beer on tap were: Malty Amber - Hacker-Pschorr Münchner Dunkel Brown Stout - Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro

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.

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!

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.

My husband, our two kids, and I were invited to participate in the soft opening of the Yard House on Elk Grove Boulevard. We were both offered two complimentary beverages of our choice if we wanted them. They also had multiple draft beers to try. They had several seating options, and we chose to sit in the indoor/outdoor area. It was very warm outside, so we asked for the fans to be turned on. I think our waiter forgot to turn them on. The food was very good. I ordered a pineapple chicken dish that was flavorful, and the temperature was perfect. The kids ordered from the kids' menu. My husband's meal, on the other hand, had some issues. His T-bone steak was overcooked, so it was sent back, and his sides were incorrect, so those were sent back too. The order was finally correct, and once it was, the taste was amazing! Our server was friendly but could benefit from additional training in getting familiar with the menu. I do appreciate how frequently he and other staff checked on our table. We plan to visit this location again. Welcome to Elk Grove. P.s. GET THE DESSERT. You're welcome.

I would give 4.5 stars if I could. I like the new yard house in Elk Grove. Nice set up and a bunch of servers. We went at a good time so our wait was manageable but I hear it's really long now. Looked smaller from the outside but inside was pretty roomy. We ordered the truffled mushroom pizza and two flavors of the wings. The pizza was pretty tasty and the wings were great. I love buffalo wings and these were pretty dang tasty with a kick not just the tangy flavor. Been craving the wings so I might go back soon, wish me luck on the wait.

Recently visited for lunch. There was plenty of people standing up front, but we were able to get seated in 5-10 minutes. The front desk had their own controlled chaos. Once seated, our server Alo was the sweetest. She was super attentive to our table. On top of that there was plenty of other servers checking in too, which I thought was interesting. Food was good. They ran out of modelo when we visited. All in all we enjoyed our visit. Thanks again Alo!

We tried the new Elk Grove location for Happy Hour. We were told there'd be a 35 minute wait but only waited about 20, not bad. You check in at the door & are then called to the hostess desk & are seated. We had a nice booth inside. Lots of seating inside & out, even have like an in between area to sit plus a full bar. We ordered from the HH menu which has a lot of good items to choose from for half off. They even have a late night HH menu. We ordered a pizza, & calamari. Both were very good. Our server Aaron Hans so outstanding. Very friendly, professional & attentive. I received dessert for my birthday. One thing we realized is that they don't have club rewards at this time. We'll be back soon!

I came here for lunch over the weekend, and the wait was about 20-30 minutes. The restaurant is much bigger than I expected, with plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a large bar area if you'd rather sit there. Considering it was their opening week, the service was pretty good. Some menu items are ordered through a tablet at the table, while others have to be ordered directly from your server. Our food arrived fairly quickly. The giant pretzel was decent--soft and not dry at all. However, I wasn't a fan of the beer cheese or the mustard, as both sauces were a little too strong for my taste. We also tried the truffle mushroom pizza and added sausage and pepperoni. It was decent overall. The truffle flavor was subtle, which I liked, but the pizza was a bit saltier than I would have preferred. The wings were another item we ordered. They were well coated in sauce and had great flavor. I just wish they offered a spicy sauce option. Overall, it was a solid first experience. The menu has plenty of other items that caught my eye, so I'd definitely come back to try more dishes.
