    Spicy Jambalaya
    Imani M.

    Absolutely love this restaurant. A big place with a good size bar. A great place to try if you're downtown, I usually come before going to a Pacer game. I've never had any problems with the service here. Everything I've had has always tasted great! Usually go for appetizers like the wings which are amazing, but finally came for dinner. The Thai pork chop was a 10/10, Great flavor and really juicy! The Lobster & Shrimp Agnolotti was a 6.8/10, pretty good, just wish it had more sauce. I give the Jambalaya a 8/10. Good flavor and I love the seasoning on the shrimp. You can choose between 3 different kinds of rice or linguine pasta. I prefer it as the pasta. Definitely a place to try out if you find yourself downtown!

    Stopped by on a Sunday for lunch, visiting from California. Yard house here is the same as Yard house in Cali. Consistent with their food and service and the quantities are the same. Restaurant is always clean and staff here are the best and always attentive. I haven't been to YD in a while but I noticed the tablets where you can pay for your table. DOUBLE CHECK the tablet before paying to make sure you are not paying for something you don't order. I noticed my bill was too high, so I double checked the tab and there were a handful of items I did not order . I don't know how that happened but good thing I caught it. I don't think it was intentional but the waitress went to fix it . No biggie, just double check , technology can be tricky . Great place to have drinks or catch a game on there plenty of flat screens . Paid Parking is across the street if you can't find street parking .

    Lobster Garlic Noodles
    Kaelan M.

    Went here with my sisters and the food was quite tasty. I ordered the Lobster Garlic Noodles and they were really good. It had shrimp, mushrooms, spinach, and lobster meat. It was pretty good. I just wish it had more sauce in it. One of my sisters had the Thai Chili Pork chop and baby, let me tell you. That chop was deliciously marinated and cook to perfection. It was so juicy and flavorful. It came with a spicy honey sauce that elevated the whole dish. My other sister had the Jambalaya and she said it was pretty good, she just didn't like the Cajun cream sauce it with. The music was great and the service was fast and very helpful with our choices of food. Overall it was a great experience and I'll be back.

    Pink dragon
    Mary H.

    Us and a friend stopped in for a bite to eat and a drink before the Indians game. Pink dragon margarita was 10/10, I highly recommend. The grapefruit Paloma was not great, it wasn't made with real grapefruit juice and I would call it more of a summer spritzer than a Paloma. The smoked old fashioned was smoked tableside and very good. That was fun to see. Service was quick and we were happy overall with everything. I also recommend the Miguel's queso group to share with the table

    Boneless Wings

    I came here right before a fever game so it was a bit busy because they had their happy hour going on. We ordered appetizers and they all came out pretty fast with how busy it was. The poke nachos were superb- they were my favorite! The sauces on them were amazing and it had plenty of ahi on them. There's street parking downtown and in front of the restaurant if you're lucky. There's also a parking garage across the street. The interior is large enough where you don't feel like you're eating on top of somebody. It's very spacious. The ambiance was definitely buzzing because it was before the game. So if you're coming before an event being hosted downtown I'd suggest coming two hours before the start time of the event. Overall the food is always a 10/10 for me every time I come. Ahi tuna is always a hit with me!

    Truffle Fries
    Kristia W.

    I was in town for a concert and needed a place to eat that would have good food and drinks and that's exactly what I found at Yard House! The wings were probably some of the best wings that I've had in a while! The lemon pepper was lemon peppering and I would have ate more if I had the room. The fries also came out fresh and were good. I also had a margarita (two of them ) that was pretty and delicious. What also sealed the deal was the server that was friendly and attentive. If I find myself in the area, I would definitely be back. It was the perfect spot to be before our night of concert fun.

    Espresso Martini was delicious!!!
    Adrienne M.

    I always can count on you! This is a go to spot all over the US for me. Being downtown Indianapolis I don't get down there much but it was well worth the drive. Yesterday,3/25/26 I decided to grab a cocktail and some food to go from the bar. Jess and Lydia were so sweet and helpful as I couldn't decide on a cocktail too many good choices. I opted for the their Espresso Martini that was fantastic! Happy hour is always a plus here if you can make it. I had one of my favorites while just relaxing at the bar The Poke Nachos! Now if you don't like poke you may or may not enjoy these but if you're like me and enjoy wonderful flavors with a kick try these!!! To go I orders the Garlic Noodles another go to of mine. Hmmmmm so good and the brussels sprouts with these you can't go wrong. Many more items to try here and they do a great job. Shout out to Indy's Yard house you might be my favorite experience so far!

    Chicken Nachos

    Went in after a fun day at children's museum. Was able to seat us in 10 minutes with a party of 11. Lucked out with 1/2 price appetizers and happy hour drinks. Food was delicious and bill was even better. Service was great. Family friendly and very understanding of kids. Great place and comfortable for all ages.

    Great draft line. Spacious and open. Friendly service. Lots of TVs. Worth a visit.

    Best meal we had in INDY! Amazing selection of meals from tacos to pizza to noodles and a HUGE selection of beer. Literally the first half of the menu is their beer. I'll definitely be coming back.

    Garlic pasta
    Shawn B.

    I've been to Yard House a couple times and this time the food this time was decent. My coworkers and I went for half priced apps and we ordered a ton of food. No judgement! The food was lukewarm and didn't seem fresh, but the taste was still there. The ambience is still inviting and perfect for big or small groups. Our server was amazing and tentative to our needs. I'd definitely return for the apps with hopes that they will be hot!

    Sandy S.

    Always the best beer in town! Delicious appetizers, extensive menu filled with favorites, lots of tv's, quick and fantastic service! Yard House is great to watch a game at, grab a beer, have happy hour...and stay for lunch or dinner! It's always fun, always delicious and you always leave happy!

    Yard house came up first when I Googled board games & drinks near me. Website doesn' tmention. Is that a thing there?

    I personally don't recall seeing board games. They do have a wide variety of drinks to indulge in from the bar.

    Can my 20-year-old eat here?

    Yes.

    Do u have gluten free options?

    There are many wheat-free options!

    Would this be a good place for me and my 5 friends to go before prom?

    Yeah. I think that is the nice place. I have seen there were many groups coming over for their birthday or other celebrations. I would still suggest call them and check before heading out!

I did see they allow you to make reservations on Open Table, so I booked it for a weekday to try it out. It wasn't nearly as busy as the parking lot looked, there was plenty of seating. It was a nice day so they had the windows open and they also had someone playing live music so it was a tad loud but, not overly loud where you can't hear your conversation. The menu is not your typical menu, it's very crafty if that's a word. The service was very good, and she explained the menu well and we took her up on her recommendations. Turkey pastrami which I had never had before. It tastes really fresh and felt healthy. The salad comes in a little small bowl but full of goodness.

I liked the added touch of the date night plaque at our table when we arrived. We started with the Evil Jungle Princess (10/10 tiki drink) and the paper bag beer + blind shot pick (gross but kind of fun if you like beer, I think we got a PBR lol). For apps we got the Wagyu pigs in a blanket and the broccoli cheddar soup to share. The piggies were so savory and delicious. For entrees we got the fish and chips and rainbow roll. The fish was perfectly battered and tasted great. The rainbow roll had good flavor but really fell apart immediately. I felt like the presentation could have been improved. They also did not bring out soy sauce with the roll and didn't come even after asking our server for it. Still good flavor to the fish. We finished off the night with the monkey bread (100/10). So sweet and delicious! It came out hot and fresh with a side of ice cream. Definitely sugar overload but totally worth it. And our nightcaps were the Espresso Martini (HAVE to get) and the Campfire Vibes. Both great drinks. Highly recommend this spot for any special night out.

We ordered the Caesar broccolini and the Burrata for our appetizers. The portions were plenty for 2 to 3 people. Both appetizers were good. We ordered the lamb Ragu and the half chicken for our meals. Neither one of us typically orders a pasta dish, but the server recommended it and it did not disappoint! The half chicken was incredible. My friend even said "this is the best chicken I've ever had in my life". I would order both of these dishes again!

Lulled to sleep by outdoor seating options, sporadically tattooed wait staff, and cutesy menu typeface. In all of your bluster, did any of you see the player get sucker-punched? It was me! Five finger death punched by petite portions at pumped up prices. As I rolled on the ground in agony, you looked at yourself. Sure, your outfit was cute and your date was hot and you did a birthday thing and so on and so forth. But let's not forget the atrocity of what sat on our plates! Bluebeard did you wrong and more importantly, did your boy CJ wrong. To close with a separate thought, what are all you ladies dressing up for on a Friday night? This was my one "fellas got a birthday dinner" of the year. Do y'all do this weekly? Godspeed if so, Godspeed.

It was a very, very, small piece of salmon. I don't know if that is the usual size or not but definitely not what we expected for the price. The only thing I have tried here that I didn't care for was the Mother Earth Bowl. When I ordered it the employee mentioned that it was their most popular item, but I thought the greens were very bitter and the dressing didn't complement the vegetables. But apparently everyone else loves it. The parking lot was congested each time I have been here. Traffic flow is difficult so next time I will park farther away and walk rather than navigate the small lot in front of the restaurant.

I was not a fan of the salsas that I tried. They did send over chips, that were in my opinion. They were crispy. Had no flavor of either salt nor lime on them. Definitely needed salsa, but as I mentioned earlier, the salsas were not very good. Good. I had a roasted red salsa, salsa Verde, plus chili de arbol. None of them, had anything going for them. That was positive. It tasted like it was just the ingredients without seasoning. The salsa Verde tasted like just green tomatoes, and the same for the red. The spicy one, tasted like Tomatoes and spicy peppers. The menu appeared to have a nice variety of different items. I would definitely give them a second chance on something else.
