    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

    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

    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.

    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!

    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 went there late at night and by looking at the outside there was nothing that really stood out to me, BUT as soon as I stepped in it was a WHOLE vibe! Their tiki bar experience from top to bottom was decked out in tiki figures and every tropical decor you can imagine, it definitely felt like I was walking into a Hawaiian resort. The drinks were so fancy and they came in a fancy glass, tiki mug, or coconut shaped mug which I loved! I ordered the Tambaran Firedancer and I'm so glad I did, it came with a whole fire show and it tasted great. It had the right combination of alcohol and other juices. I also ordered the coconut cream pie and it was good. EDIT: My experience was so great that I came here again the next day and had an even better experience (didn't think they would too off the first one lol) The staff were so friendly and welcoming to me, they really made the night unforgettable! Second night I ordered the Corsair of Umbar and the basket of fries. The fries were amazing and definitely made my list of top five favorite fries!! The drink was good, but I wasn't a fan of the Fernet. Finding a parking space was easy since they have a parking lot, but the parking lot is pretty small.

I came with two friends a weekend ago and the waiter said how they had a new chef and new menu and how great it was! So, we tried the pollo boracho, which was... fine. I mean, it's just braised chicken with veggies, which is tasty, but I miss the Polynesian options they had a year ago... drinks were still excellent, and service was good! We wanted to sit in chairs with backs and when they sat us at a table with stools, we asked and they didn't really offer a solution. There were some highbacked chairs in the corner, but the table between them was small and low to the ground... I wish the waiter had just asked us to wait 15 minutes for someone to leave, but that was not an option, apparently. Leaving the old photos from my visit a year ago, including the old lettuce wraps.

We came in on a Friday night at 6:30 with no reservation, and had to wait ~5 minutes for a table of two. We were sat at a high top at the bar, which we appreciated. Our server greeted us quickly, and checked in a few times throughout the night. Service was average, nothing spectacular but nothing to complain about. I had a hurricane to start off. Packed full of the good stuff, and one was definitely enough for the night. Appropriate price for what you get. This drink is what brought my review from a 2 for the food to a 3 in total. We started off with pork Bao buns. The bun was spongy, but somewhat dry. The pork lacked any sort of flavor, and the sauce on it didn't do much for me. The next part of the meal was the most disappointing for me: the curry chicken wings. Let me tell you- I was excited for these. These lacked any sort of flavor at all, and the only thing saving it was the ranch. The wings had a good crisp, but the sauce was lacking taste. I had the Shoyu ramen for my main. It was a pretty average bowl of ramen, but for the price, I expected more. The pork in it was flavorful, but the chicken in it was odd in my opinion with an unexpected herby flavor. Overall, service was average (but we appreciated getting sat fast), drinks were strong (and saved the meal) and the food was average. Would go if invited by a friend, but probably would not return on my own.
