    We came in for a late dinner and Michael was our waiter. He is prompt, attentive and provided excellent service. It was a packed house Monday night! It's one of our go to American food we absolutely love! We started with saturated edamame. Super tasty! I ordered the kale & Caesar salad with grilled chicken! Chicken came out moist and so good. Loved this salad. The other meals like the kids chicken strips were also very good.

    We arrived around lunch time and were sat right away. Our server Michelle came and took our orders. It took about 10 minutes to our food. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and my friend ordered the Steak Bowl. We both enjoyed our meals. We both were celebrating our birthdays and Michelle was so nice to bring us both complementary desserts. It was a warm cookie brownie with vanilla ice cream on top. It was so good!

    I took out of town family to eat lunch and watch the world cup game. Pablo was a great waiter. It's easy to separate bills in the little machine on the table. They have sweet tea so I asked for half sweet and half unsweet. But please, Yardhouse, $4.29 for iced tea? Why? They have a vegetarian burger. I asked Pablo to have them hold the spicy tahini. They didn't. I didn't complain because I had to get back to work. The burger was served with a decent sized green salad and vinaigrette. It was good. Getting a refill for my tea took some time. The restaurant was getting busy because of the game. I had to get up and ask a waitress for the refill. I understand increasing prices due to inflation. But there has to be a limit. $28.16 for a vegetarian burger and iced tea is over the top.

    I thought I had reviewed this restaurant, but perhaps not. In any case it won't hurt to review it as I just went a second time and has as enjoyable an experience as I did the first time. The food is quite American. There are some fusion dishes, but all of it is really rather good and priced very reasonably and portions are more than adequate. The service in the two times that I have been there was absolutely superb extremely efficient. The servers are very nice. It is well worth the service experience. It's a very Roomy restaurant and there is an outside patio and it stays open rather light for a dining experience during the week which is a real pleasure. The restaurant is well appointed plenty of room. I just think it's a wonderful restaurant. The next statement is not to reflect on the Restaurant however it is a caution to any diner which is parking is strictly enforced so either be prepared to walk a distance through a very nice area or be prepared to pay for parking. Simply caution.

    Yummy! Came here with some coworkers for lunch. We sat outside and it felt so nice, and the patio area was very clean. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and Parmesan truffle fries. The fries were phenomenal, but the chicken sandwich wasn't really anything to write home about. There wasn't much flavor and the chicken breast was huge. It was still appetizing nonetheless. We did have a large party, so that may have contributed to the sandwich not being the best. Our waitresses were amazing and so patient with us. Decent experience overall.

    I came here twice and I enjoyed the food here. It's a laid back atmosphere with a sports bar feel. Staff very friendly and attentive. Was able to walk in and be seated right away.

    This is a great spot to have lunch or enjoy happy hour. It's spacious inside and there's also outside seating. Service was quick yet attentive. Our sever Michelle even gave us a birthday dessert that was so sweet yet unexpected. I tried the steak bowl and the flavors were excellent

    Stopped by Yard House with a group of friends around 10pm on a Thursday night. We were just looking for a chill spot for drinks and apps after having dinner earlier, and it hit the spot. Our waitress was very nice and made the experience even better. We ordered the four cheese spinach dip and Miguel's queso -- both were really good. I especially liked that the queso came with flour tortillas as well as chips, which was a nice touch. We also had a couple rounds of amaretto sours, and they were tasty and well made. Overall, Yard House is a Happy Hour go-to for a reason -- it's a solid choice for apps and drinks.

    Always the best Whiskey Black Pepper Wings, Chili Garlic Edamame and Poke Nachos! They've also got a great Happy Hour food menu during the day & late night Happy Hour drinks in the evening... Great service from Eduardo on a Wednesday night :)) and the vibe of the place was perfect!-- Lively, but not too crazy, with lots of folks inside having great convos.

    Joined a colleague for dinner at the City Centre location. Opted to park in the garage and take the bridge across from the Norris convention center over to the Hotel Sorrel to take the elevator down to avoid the cold weather. Everyone I encountered on the staff along the way were polite and courteous. Be sure to stop by the restroom area near the old Fireside Lounge to take a selfie on their beautiful mural wall to commemorate the evening. At the restaurant, I was greeted at the entrance by the hostess. I was quickly seated, but opted for a different table in a less crowded and quiet area. My request was easily accommodated. We ordered the Rosemary Lemon Drop and a House Margarita. Both were delicious and great portion sizes. For dinner, we chose the garlic noodles, firecracker shrimp, and fish and fries. The garlic noodles were well seasoned, and the shrimp had the perfect amount of batter. They were deep fried yet still soft and crunchy at the same time, tossed in an asian sauce. The fish and fries were a large portion with 3 filets and ample fries. The staff checked on us regularly and was polite and courteous. We didn't feel rushed and enjoyed the music and the vibe. The restrooms were clean and well stocked with the necessities. This is always one of my favorite places to dine. Will definitely come back again.

    Short and sweet follow up to my previous reviews. Service and atmosphere: Always spot on in both areas. Food and drinks: Great selection in both categories. Food is always well prepared and presented. Very good flavours and seasoning. We have not been disappointed even once. Pricing: $$ - worth the atmosphere, location and food quality.

    We've gone to yard house for a while now, and while the staff and service has always been great the food and restaurant isn't quite what it was. At our last visit the portions were smaller which is fine if the prices followed but of course they didn't. Know where the economy is at we get it. But they really couldn't be bothered with presentation in some cases lol. I ordered birria tacos and the tacos were good but small and the beans were suspiciously similar to what you would get at the grocery store. In a can. Plus the restaurant wasn't clean this last time, I also slipped and fell like 3 times on slippery and dirty floors. I almost felt like I need to break out my old slip resistant shoes from my own restaurant days. I really hope they put some effort into maybe a mini revamp cause I'd hate to see this place turn into a bland franchise

I called back again to make sure there wasn't a minimum or anything, and they confirmed my reservation. When I showed up on game day, I walked into the full bar that clearly had no tables and went up to a man with a Decoy shirt on who said they don't do reservations. I told him I had just spoken to someone yesterday, and he "you have wrong information, there's no way we can do reservations with this many people - you probably called the corporate office (it's the number listed on their website so that made no sense)" and was very dismissive of me and not apologetic whatsoever. It's totally understandable that reservations wouldn't be possible on a World Cup day. Seems like the staff are not all on the same page, or I was misled to just get my group into the bar (which has happened at other bars during the tournament so it's not unheard of). Had to take my three nieces elsewhere at the last minute and don't imagine I'll be returning after that experience.

They have plenty of tables inside and seating at the bar. The patio area has a nice covered area with some TVs, typically with a local sports game on. Typically at least a couple of families are around, either playing a game or just enjoying the patio with a cold pint. Food & Drink - 4.75* Great local craft beer selection! Definitely give the wall a close look as there's probably something you haven't tried unless you frequent the place already. For food, they have plenty to choose from. Starter and shareables such as chips & queso, pretzels, flautas, or spinach & artichoke dip. For mains you can grab a salad or a guilty pleasure like burgers, wings, and chicken sandwiches. I've had plenty of the items and have never been disappointed. I definitely recommend the onion rings if you go with a sandwich meal. That's not to say the tots or fries are bad, it's just their onion rings are really on point. On Thursday they do ribeye night, so give it a go if you're looking for something a bit more substantial. Service - 4* I've found generally speaking the service is pretty good when ordering at the bar. They can get a little busy at times and slow, but never egregious. Everyone is quite friendly when you ask questions and looking for some recommendations. Cost - 4.25* Always subjective, for me, I find their pricing pretty good for an above average pint and burger. If I were to knock it a little, I think some of the larger brewers "easy drinking" lighter beers could carry a slightly less cost, or maybe run more "specials" to sell at volume with thinner margin. Just a suggestion. Overall, I've never been turned off by any of the pricing. It's definitely refreshing to support local brewers and a local bar more than going to some of the more corporate establishments that sit nearby. Overall - 4.5* Whether you live nearby or need a good meetup location for family and friends around the city, this is a spot I'd recommend to anyone seeking a laid back family atmosphere.

Customer service was good, and the drink prices were reasonable, especially for a place of this size and popularity. It did get pretty crowded, which adds to the energy if you're going for that kind of atmosphere. There isn't a full kitchen, but there was a food truck on-site (I believe it was Hearsay).

Nothing super fancy or over-the-top, but if you're looking for a casual place to hang out, watch a game, and enjoy drinks with a group, this gets the job done.

Bartenders and servers came around to our group frequently to ask if they could get us anything. I did not expect that from a divey bar like this.
