    The food was pretty decent. I would give it a 7/10. We went during lunch. Service was a little slow. My son enjoyed my food more than I could. I usually have amazing food from Yard House so I will be back soon.

    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

    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!

    Boneless Wings
    Chassity B.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

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

    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!

Then again, it's not an uncommon story unfortunately- large parts of the city forgotten in terms of economic development but then suddenly needed during times of campaigning. Had taken Keystone and then Rural Street to get here, and the potholes are not kind. But, we had this place on our list and were determined to make it here at least once. Tlaolli stood out for its vegan offerings. Plenty of vegan taco options, birria (an absolute rarity to see vegan birria), and torta. They offer soy chorizo, jackfruit, and king oyster mushrooms as protein options. The exterior is colorful, and inside there are seating options. We had gotten our food to go, so I cannot comment too much on the service. Had placed our order online, and the food was ready within the estimated time in the order. We ordered the vegan birria tacos ($17.99), the vegan torta ($10.99 base but added soy chorizo, which was $3.99), and the no-no-no taco ($5.99). Our total with fees was approximately $45. Tlaolli offers outdoor seating, so when the weather is nicer this would be a good place to come. Next to the East Washington IPL branch, Tlaolli has a colorful green exterior with neon signage. Food: The food was very good. The proteins were nicely seasoned and juicy. The highlight for me was the birria tacos and the consome. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 10/10. This is a great local business in the area to support: offers a diverse menu of options with food that is comforting and tasty.

Not a big deal just something to be aware of, and if you are lucky enough to find a spot near them, it's tight getting in and out so just a side note. Upon walking in it was a pretty long line but again it was lunch time (around noon), so no issues. You order at and then get a number and find a place to sit. They have options to sit inside and out. We decided to sit outside since it was a nice day. The food came pretty quickly which was nice since it was lunch time. I ordered a kale salad which was amazing. My lunch partner had a wrap and she said it was really good. You can tell they are using really top notch ingredients which is good. Pricing is pretty typical for these type of places.

I used to love Reuben sandwiches, and theirs was really remarkably good, by any standards!

Anyway, we got the day to ourselves for the first time in forever and chose The Garden Table for brunch. We were immediately sat, and when we requested to sit outside the host was mindful enough to let us know that the only remaining tables were in direct sun. We opted for a table inside. The host gave us our silverware, napkins, and cups and told us our server would be right with us. We sat for about 10-15 minutes and didn't even get as much as eye-contact from any of the servers walking by our table. We caught the hosts attention and he brought us water and said he would take care of us instead. This caught the bartender's/server's attention and I overheard her tell the host she would get our table. Another 5-10 minutes go by and the server still had not came by to take care of us. We were in the middle of deciding if we wanted to leave and she finally came by. No apologies or acknowledgment regarding our wait. We had planned on ordering the juice flight, but they only had two of the nine or so options available, not enough to even order a flight. We ordered two of the juices, the croissant french toast, the chicken pesto wrap, the brunch burger, and a 'bottomless' drip coffee. The wait on the food was what we would expect with how busy it was, and the food was fantastic. No complaints to the kitchen, and it's the only reason we might give this place a second chance. As we were eating, our server came by and checked to see how we were doing, my husband asked for another coffee and I told her that I had got the wrong sauce with my fries. She apologized for the mistake and said she would be back with both the coffee and the aioli. She brought my sauce, we finished eating, but we never got another coffee. She brought us boxes when we were done eating, and my husband left to use the restroom. He came back and we still had not received our check. He went up to the bar where our server was and asked to close our tab. She said she'd come by our table to ring us up. She apologized for not bringing the check sooner and that it was 'hectic' (it was almost three o'clock with maybe four people at the bar and many many open tables). With the exception of the host, everyone on the floor was generally unfriendly and we felt very unimportant. I can't imagine what it would've been like had we gone during the peak time for a brunch place. Very impressed with the food, unfortunately it was overshadowed by the poor service.

The hospitality was great, and their drink and food recommendations were equally wonderful. One thing to note is the portions on the appetizers are fairly large, so keep that in mind when ordering. To start, we ordered the Korean Fried Mushrooms with baechu kimchi, gochujang honey, daikon radish, furikake, and scallions. These were great but unfortunately had to save room for the other items and could not finish. Then got the Center Cut Ribeye which came with cajun spiced spaetzle, summer squash, remoulade sauce, pink peppercorn ricotta, scallions, sweetie drops, and chimichurri. The steak was cooked to a rare/medium rare consistency that was delicious and we loved the tiny peppers. We paired it with a nice red wine the bartender recommended and it was a lovely experience. Lastly we ended the night with the strawberry dacquoise and espresso. The dessert came with strawberry mousse, pistachio cake, strawberry glaze, white chocolate bark with pistachio & pink peppercorn, and frosted mint. It was a refreshing summertime dessert perfect to end the day. I definitely recommend the steak dish and heard the airline chicken and Chilean sea bass were good too. Would love to come back and try a cocktail and a different dish while sitting on the patio! Second Time: Got the tamarind disco cocktail that comes with a lollipop - amazing, would order again!We tried the fried chicken and caviar, pork chop, and honey cake! All three were delicious - the fried chicken and mushrooms are tied for appetizers, bowers we still think the steak is better than the pork chop. The honey cake was amazing and it paired perfectly with the decalf espresso martini (or a black coffee perhaps). Looking forward to round 3 during my next work trip!
