    Happy Hour M-F 3P-6P Half Off Select Apps & Pizzas, Draft Beer, Wine, Spirits & Coctails
    Christina F.

    Late Night Happy Hour Sun-Wed 10P-CLOSE, Full Menu Available. $2 Off Draft Beer, Wine, Spirits & Cocktails. M-F Happy Hour 3P-6P Half Off Select Appetizers & Pizzas. $2 Off Draft Beer, Wine, Spirits & Cocktails. Our party of 3 sat at the bar, and we had attentive and helpful bartenders. Dim lighting, but well lit for food and faces to be seen. I ordered a refreshing cranberry juice, my favorite poke nachos to enjoy and share, and classic sliders to take home. Planning to return at the earlier Happy Hour for half off appetizers & pizzas.

    Seafood pasta
    Chinyere E.

    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.

    Came here with my family, they sat us down within 10 minutes which was great for it being a Sunday. The food and waitress was fantastic. I got the lobster garlic noodles with a Paloma and their buffalo wings is a must. I really enjoyed coming here.

    Fried calamari

    3/5 - Yard House Fresno Overall, my experience at Yard House Fresno was just okay. We started with the calamari, but unfortunately, it was pretty tasteless and lacked seasoning or flavor. The red dipping sauce didn't help much either--it tasted more like salsa than a sauce that complemented the calamari. I also tried the Buffalo Chicken Pizza. The tanginess was very strong and gave the pizza an overly sour taste that overpowered the other flavors. The chicken itself was also a little hard and dry, which made the pizza less enjoyable. On the positive side, the service was good. The staff was attentive and pleasant throughout our visit. The ambience was quite dark for my preference, although some people may enjoy that type of atmosphere. Overall, I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars. Good service, but the food could definitely use improvement, especially in seasoning and balance of flavors.

    Poke Nachos
    Kiley T.

    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.

    The food & the service were mediocre. We did lunch and it wasn't too bad or busy. The weather was nice so we sat outside on their patio.

    Ordered CBD's & "blue dolphins" with nachos with polo. Happy hour after 10PM needs to be clarified for the late night crowd. Keep it simplistic as the other "Happy Hour" menu for Monday thru Friday 3PM-6PM!! Share later about CBD refresher (hint is splash of ?)

    Chicken Nachos
    Rohith V.

    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.

    Jambalaya with Linguine noodles
    Angela S.

    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. It was a little dark for me but I understand it mixed with the ambiance of the place. 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.

    BBQ Bacon Cheddar Burger

    Always great food, great ambiance and always great service. Today we stopped by for lunch & shared the chicken nachos, bbq bacon cheddar burger & jambalaya w/linguine noodles. And of course, we'll be back

    Half yard of pineapple cider

    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).

    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. Place was clean and staff was polite

    Miquels queso dip and parm fries
    Lauren W.

    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!

And so, the rice was so delicious, lamb so succulent that it almost melted in my mouth. The server was so kind and sweet, even with a jam packed midday lunch crowd. Everyone there seemed like they were being treated like family and like they eat there all the time. Aside from the above, which would easily be enough for a positive review here, there's even more. As I rushed out of the restaurant, I left my credit card. In my haste to be the 3-hour traffic back up to the Bay Area, I completely forgot until I got halfway back home, stopped for gas, and realized I couldn't pay for my gas with my card. I called them and luckily the same gal who was my server picked up and remembered me, confirmed she had my CC and told me to come back and get it. I told her I was back up in Oakland and asked a HUUUUUUGE Favor of them, to mail my CC back to me to save me the 6 hour round trip drive and ALL the headache I'd incur of getting a new card and having to redo all of the auto-pay set for countless bills with a new card number. Guess what? They did it! They took time from their busy lives, put a customer's needs first and saw past my human error and so generously sent my card to my home. Places like this family owned, down home place restore my faith in humanity and make me wish more places like this existed all over. "Thank you" doesn't even do justice for my gratitude to these folks. Can't wait to sit and dine with you all again. Huge thanks Phoenician Garden Folks

The server was very kind and built a good rapport with our table. We ordered and it took quite long to get our food. We sat down around 5:40 and ordered shortly after, received the app at 6:07 and received our food at 6:40. The food was delicious and have no complaints there. The falafel was flavorful and the chicken shawarma was moist and delicious. One issue we had though, My friend saw a wax pepper on one of the plates and asked if she can have another one. The food runner came back and brought a side dish of peppers and a side dish of pickled beets. Our server then comes out and asks whose tab he should put that on. We were a little confused because they didn't mention it would he a charge and she only asked for 1 extra not an entire bowl + a bowl of something she didn't ask for. But she took the charge and it was about $5 combined for both, a charge that wasn't prefaced beforehand. Nonetheless, the food was amazing and our server was very sweet. The restaurant was packed so it's nice to see they are busy for a local business!

Just beware that it does take longer to cook than some of the other dishes on the menu, so be prepared for a little bit of a wait. It is definitely worth it. From August 1st through August 31st, kids eat free as long as the adults/parents purchase an entree, which is a really good deal. I would definitely recommend the steamed fish.

It's under Lin's Restaurant Group. I can go to their neighboring restaurants and the discounts and rewards really add up, especially if you eat at these places often.

The new Brasen beef is pretty good too and the wings appetizer. I've only dined at the restaurant twice but the customer service is pretty good. Everyone is polite and happy.

The original owner and manager passed away over a year ago, and the restaurant is now under new ownership and management. Fortunately, the food quality, preparation, and recipes remain the same.

They have also added new photos of their popular dishes and signature vegan entrées. Little Peking remains my favorite spot for Mongolian Beef. The beef is incredibly tender--melt-in-your-mouth delicious with lightly caramelized edges--flash-fried in a thick, glossy soy-ginger sauce. It is generously paired with flash-wilted, vibrant green onions.
