You guys CAN'T tell me yardhouse is always the best spot to go too if you don't know where to eat, special occasions or not. I can't remember how many times I've been here for birthday celebrations, anniversary celebrations, a night out with friends or just to eat on a random Tuesday. It's just that spot I don't how to explain it but if you know you know! Happy hour is always the best time to come! Weekdays I think service is pretty quick they sit you down especially if there's no more than 3 in your party right away! I don't think I ever had a bad server everyone is always nice! All of my food items are solely based off happy hour APP! The ultimate appetizers that turns out to be a full meal lol [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance gives casual but can also be elegant. The place always looks clean and professional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered their truffle mushroom pizza. It has shiitake and oyster mushrooms on it with their truffle aioli sauce drizzled. It has such a nice umami taste and it blends very well on the pizza. Next order I got is the shiitake garlic noodles and omggg such a nice savory noodle dish. I love anything garlicky lol The 3rd app is the fried calamari, I've honestly had better elsewhere. I like more octopus legs and I feel like it's more bread than the calamari itself IMO. Last but not least is the poke nachos. Hands down the best of the app they have IMO. I'm such a sucker for anything poke related. If you don't like tuna or anything that's raw disregard. read more

I came to Yard House for lunch and had a bit of a mixed experience. I originally ordered the lobster garlic noodle and honestly it just did not hit for me. Something about the taste was off and I couldn't get into it, which was disappointing because I had heard good things about it. I ended up switching my order to the chicken and waffles, and that completely saved the meal. It was so good. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. I got the spicy syrup on the side along with regular syrup, which was the perfect move. I also tried their garlic truffle fries and those were amazing, easily some of the best fries I've had. Their ranch is really good too, which made it even better. Shoutout to the hostess for being so kind and helpful when I asked to switch dishes. They didn't charge me for the pasta, which I really appreciated. I was definitely sad about the lobster pasta because I was excited for it, but overall I still had a really good experience. I'd come back again and just try something different next time. read more

Yard House was a great spot for us last night. The service at the bar was great, all three bartenders were attentive, friendly, and made sure our glasses were never empty. The only disappointing part was finding out they no longer offer late night happy hour appetizers. It's time they bring that back!! That was always such a fun perk. Thankfully, they still serve food late. The poke nachos are still by far my favorite thing on the menu and definitely worth ordering every time. read more

In summary, food quality average, service was less than average.. Long story: Server or kitchen forgot to put my order in for a 20oz bone in steak. Place was slow. Server was no where to be found. We came in after work to celebrate my coworkers birthday. Told the staff. He didn't get his free dessert that I asked for when he went to the restroom. Had to wait an extra 30 minutes when we were trying to leave and had paid for my steak dinner that was never put in & just asked for it to go... Will not be coming back.

Haven't been to Yard House in years, possibly even a decade. Went out with the girls and the Jambalaya was calling my name. Service was great and super fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a little dark for me but I understand it mixed with the ambiance of the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordered the queso dip for the appetizer and it was your average Joe, nothing special. Entree came out fast and loved it. The Jambalaya with linguine had the perfect amount of seasoning. The noodle to meat ratio was great. I would definitely come back just for this. read more

Came here for happy hour with the family and highly recommend stopping by during this time. They have some great happy hour deals, but it does get busy--we came around 4 PM and were seated easily, but by 5 PM there was already a line out the door. Happy hour includes half off select appetizers and pizzas, plus $2 off beers and cocktails. We ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and the chicken nachos. For drinks, I got the Grey Goose strawberry mule, which was delicious but very sweet. After about 5-10 minutes once the ice melted and diluted it a bit, it was perfect. Unfortunately, the buffalo chicken pizza was a miss. The chicken was very dry and overcooked, and we didn't even finish half a slice. On the other hand, the chicken nachos were excellent--huge portion size and very tasty. Between the three of us, we demolished the entire plate. Shoutout to our server, who was friendly and attentive and kindly comped the pizza since we barely touched it. Drinks were good, nachos were great, prices were reasonable, and service was on point. Aside from the pizza disappointment, it was a really solid experience overall. read more

If you go to Yard House during Happy Hour, you're doing it right. The deals are fantastic--about 50% off appetizers, which honestly makes it hard not to overorder. The appetizers alone are more than filling. The lettuce wraps are fresh and satisfying, and the ahi poke nachos were a standout--light, flavorful, and perfectly done. We also had sashimi, which was surprisingly good for a casual spot. Highly recommend stopping by during the week for Happy Hour. Great value, solid food, and an easy win if you want to eat well without blowing your budget. read more

My family and friends go to yard house often. We usually love the food, vibe, and all around atmosphere. This visit was the absolute worse experience however. Not just at yard house but at any restaurant. My friends, husband, and son went to enjoy dinner and drinks. The hostess was extremely rude, her name was Lily. She treated us as if we were bothering her. After waiting 45 minutes (originally told we had a 15 minute wait) we're seated. Our waitress, Angelina, seated us. Never have we been treated so disgusting. The family behind us were refused a high chair for their baby and their treatment was applauding as well. We won't be returning to Fresno yard house for a while. They need a class on customer service. Absolutely disappointed and disgusted. read more

My wife and I stopped in for lunch after getting a massage across the street. We were greeted the moment we walked in the door and seated in less then a minute. The hostess was friendly and cute, and our server was very friendly and on it. Glasses never went empty, food came out hot and quick, and he was happy to bring me a couple extras I asked for. Everything was clean. Menus clean, table clean, floors looked good. It's a lively place with people laughing and having a good time. I'm not usually big on trendy spots and Yard House feels a little trendy, but it's one that I actually like. I ordered the spicy tuna stack. Fresh ahi, avocado, edamame, seaweed, all balanced out with the sauce around the plate. Fish was cold and fresh, avocado just right, no mush. My wife got the poke nachos. Crispy wonton chips with ahi, avocado, green onions, nori strips and creamy sauce. Nothing soggy. It was a good plate. Bottom line, Yard House Fresno did not disappoint. Great service, clean environment, and fresh food. One of those places I'll keep coming back Poke is pronounced poh-kay (like you're saying "OK" but with a P at the front). read more

My boyfriend and I have always enjoyed coming to Yard House, so we decided to bring our friends there to celebrate his birthday. We drove an hour to get there and another hour to be seated. Unfortunately, what should have been a fun evening turned into a very disappointing experience. Everyone in our group brought their physical ID except me. We had only been sitting at our table for about 10 minutes, and our drinks were still completely full. After I took a sip of my boyfriend's drink, our server asked to see my ID. We completely understood, and when I explained that I had forgotten it, he told me I could show him a picture of it. I did exactly as he instructed, and he didn't say anything before walking away. A few minutes later, the manager came to our table and told us we had to leave because I didn't have my physical ID. We understood the policy and didn't argue. We even offered to have all alcoholic drinks taken away since we were there to celebrate and enjoy the food more than anything, but he refused. He also ripped my brother's drink out of his hand even though he had his ID, which made the situation even more upsetting. What made this experience so upsetting wasn't the policy--it was the way we were treated. We apologized, accepted the situation, and were prepared to leave, yet the manager continued to yell at us. To make matters worse, several staff members stood nearby watching the interaction, with some even clapping, which made the situation feel humiliating and unnecessary. As a manager myself, I completely understand the importance of following alcohol laws and company policies. I have no issue with being asked to leave because I forgot my ID. However, there was absolutely no reason to escalate the situation or speak to us so disrespectfully when we were cooperative from the beginning. As managers, we are supposed to de-escalate situations, not make them worse. We have always enjoyed dining at Yard House, which is why this experience was so disappointing. I hope management addresses how situations like this are handled in the future so no other guests have to go through such an embarrassing and unprofessional experience. read more

The biggest variety of food you'll find in Fresno that's for sure! Genres of food for the whole family but don't get me wrong these aren't family prices! Good date night atmosphere but always pretty packed, although that doesn't mean it will be a long wait for the food because the kitchen is always speedy! Found out they serve dark horse so I'll be coming back for that now! Miguel's queso dip is my all time fav! Beware- it's in the middle of river park so parking IS river park parking and can get very frustrating on fridays and weekends! read more

My favorite spot for happy hour. They do get really busy so plan accordingly. Sometimes the waits can be long. My last visit I went with my boys and we had the best server. She was friendly and very attentive. Our food came out within 15 minutes. We ordered pizza, chicken tenders, fries and boneless wings. Their pizza looked a little extra crispy that day but my son said it was delicious. Their wings and tender were cooked perfectly. All of this was on happy hour and I spent less then 30 bucks which is a steal in my eyes. They also have plenty of beers and other drinks on happy hour. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu because everything is delicious. read more

First time at Yard house and I have to say I wasn't impressed. We ordered the Chicken Nachos and everything was just piled on top. It was sloppy and had no presentation. It was severely over cooked because the cheese was brown in some spots. The service was really good though. My Tokyo Tea gave me a tummy ache and the bartenders did everything they could to make it right. They were great BTW. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is nice but it was very loud and the music was just blasting[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I would like to say I'll be back but probably not. read more

Absolutely great experience at yard house. Always great service, amazing happy hour, and really good main entree dish. Today we enjoyed more than the happy hour items. I Ordered the steak bowl. It was really good with pieces of steak on top of brown rice and quinoa with sautéed vegetables mixed in. Slightly spicy but really flavorful. My hubby ordered the wiskey salmon plate and thoroughly enjoyed his as well. His plate came with a large grilled salmon on top of mashed potatoes and perfectly sautéed veggies. The entrees we ordered were as good as some other high end restaurants! The atmosphere is a bit loud and dark but we sat in a booth and were able to be comfortable and enjoy conversation. It did get busy after we sat down with lots of families. Probably because they really have one of the best happy hours in town! We'll definitely be back read more

Had the best afternoon yap session with my cousin over a couple drinks at Yard House. I'm a sucker for the Lavender Drop, and they never miss here. My cousin ordered the watermelon margarita with a sugar rim and it was just as good. For appetizers, the cheese curds are a MUST. They came out super fresh, hot, and perfectly crispy. The parm fries are another can't-skip item, especially if you're into truffle and garlic. Definitely the move to start your meal. Of course I did the classic thing and remembered to take a picture of my food after it was already halfway gone I ordered the stacked turkey club, and my cousin had the lobster garlic noodles. Both were delicious and hit the spot. Service was fast, our waiter was friendly and attentive, and we didn't feel rushed at all. No complaints from me -- I'll absolutely be back. read more

Went for a night out with friends and it was my husband's birthday. My friend and I wanted something light so we each order from the under 700 calories menu. She had the cilantro lime chicken and I had the chicken bowl. My chicken bowl was great with veggies cooked just right and juicy chicken on top. She said her chicken was dry, but I tasted it and it had amazing flavor and a really generous portion of chicken. I would definitely get that next time. We each had a drink, but she doesn't like the taste of alcohol so the waiter recommended the Malibu Peach, which actually has cherry vodka in it and tastes like fruit punch. She loved it. The complimentary cake for my husband's birthday was a nice touch. Service was great with us being checked on several times by multiple people, even though it was a slammed Friday night. The only negative is that it's so loud in there on a busy Friday night that you have to yell to talk to each other and people were standing next to our table talking with their drinks like it was a waiting area. But I guess you either skip a busy Friday night or ask for a table that is not right at the edge near the checkin area. read more

The manager needs to improve how he communicate with and treat their customers. We were understanding of the situation, but instead of handling it professionally, he escalated the issue and made the experience more uncomfortable. A situation that could have been resolved respectfully turned into an unnecessary scene for their uneducated employees. Better hospitality and professionalism would have made a big difference. read more

I've been going to Yard House for years. While majority of my visits have been good (7 out of 10), there has been times where the service has been lacking. The review below is based on a 6/4 visit. Service: Came in during around 11pm just after a HS graduation. I wasn't expecting much as I anticipated that there's a chance we would be waiting forever but wasn't terrible at all. We had to split our party of 8 into two tables as they stated wait would've been an hour or so while two groups would just be around 15-20 minutes. We ended up doing the later, luckily, we were seated booths just behind each other but was seated 15 minutes after each group. Our wait staff was attentive and took our orders prompt with an average food turnaround. 4 of 5 stars Food/Offering: We would normally start of with the usual appetizers: Sliders, Ahi poke, Calamari. In addition, my guests ordered BBQ and Chicken Strips. The food has been consistent and most likely prepped ahead thus the fast turnaround. The drinks at the time were margaritas and beers on tap. Some drinks were on happy hour so that helped a little bit. 4 of 5 stars Overall: Not a lot of places north of Fresno are open until 1am so this was more of a hail mary to satisfy our hunger and unwind with some drinks. They do not accept reservations but they could guestimate waiting times if you call. The place is always loud with animated drunkards but they are mostly controlled (aka no fighting). A vast beer selection from sours to IPAs. I like going here, but if you are out and about around 8pm, there are better places to choose from. read more

Used to be a good place to go, but unfortunately the management and staff have deteriorated in their helpfulness.

Overall our visit was good. There just wasn't anything that gave us a WOW factor to give this a 4 or 5 star rating. For a party of 2, they sat us down within 10minutes. Our waiter (Cooper) was great! Friendly and attentive. Food was okay. We had spicy edamame. Cheese curds. The chicken avocado burger. The cheese curds were good, not as cheesy as expected. Spicy edamame wasn't spicy. Burger was good! Added bacon and jalapeños. The fries were meh. read more

Let me set the picture, it's Thursday evening and your boys hit you to go to Yard House. You've never been before and you're excited cause this will be your first time there. I wish I could've kept this optimism. Upon arrival my friends and I head straight to the bar and grab 3 seats, we order 1 beer everything's great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some time passes and we decide to order another round this is when the vibe just went downhill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One of the bartenders I don't remember her name but it was a Hispanic lady with glasses. She comes up to us and looks me directly in the eye and says "your eyes look really low I don't know if we can serve you." My friends and I look at each other and laugh but she seemed to be serious. She then continued to antagonize me about being inebriated. Mind you I had 1 beer prior to this. She eventually serves us our 2nd beer. My buddy spilled a little bit of his drink and asked said bartender for a napkin to which she replied "let me guess the sober one dropped it" while glaring directly at me. Overall my experience was just terrible. It honestly was just a bad way to end such a great Thursday. read more

The food is always good, casual place, relax, nice stuffs and services. Celebratory vibes & incredible flavors at Yard House! The Lemon Drop was the perfect start--tangy, chilled, with that iconic sugar rim. Next, the Korean Cheesesteak blew us away: tender beef, melty cheese, and that spicy-sweet glaze had us hooked. But the showstopper? The Chicken Nachos--crispy, loaded with juicy chicken, and dripping with cheese! Generous portions, lively atmosphere, and friendly service made our July 4th feast unforgettable. read more

We decided to try this place for lunch as they have a great selection of beer and food. We were sat within 5 minutes during lunch hour on a Sat. Our server, Yvonne, arrived quickly and took our drink and app orders. She was very knowledgeable of the different beer and offered the 4 flight option since we wanted to try certain ones, so opted for that. I got 4 beers: Voodo Ranger Juicy IPA, house hazy IPA, house honey blond, and another one that wasn't on the menu. The two hazy IPAs were my favorite out of all as have been on a hazy IPA kick lately. The ahi app came out quickly and was really fresh and tasty. The only, very minor, complaint was that it only had tiny amounts of wasabi drizzle in the sauce. The general manager Ed happened to stop by and check in on us, so we found out we can also get a side of wasabi next time. Ed chatted with us a bit and was very personable where we enjoyed talking to him. Im always impressed when a manager walks around and checks on the guests as feel we don't see it enough. Our food came out quickly and we dug in. My guy dropped his knife on the floor and used his butterknife to cut his steak for the rest of the meal. I felt our server could of stopped in sooner to check on us, eventhough she was busy. As for the food: the Korean ribeye was cooked medium rare perfectly, great flavor paired with chili garlic fries, delishious! I had the Thai pork chop which was also tasty, although I didn't like the side of vegetables at all. They were way over sauced and didn't care for the flavor. We ended up sharing a mango cart beer for dessert and was great! All in all we liked this place, but the food sauce was heavy for me personally. We will come back again and recommend! read more
