    Poke nachos. Excellent as always
    Evonne G.

    Great service. The Happy Hour deals are fantastic. You can never go wrong with poke nachos and a blonde ale.

    BBQ Chicken Salad
    Jocelyn Y.

    Servers super friendly. Portions were large. Great spot to watch the game. Bbq chicken salad - super good! crispy onions, yum chicken, just maybe a bit too much dressing 10 crispy wings - these were ok. I feel like the chicken was sorta hard. this dish brings my rating down. Poke nachos - good! the chips themselves were fried nicely as well. i think chicken nachos would have given a huge portion. I would rate this place 4.5. Would come again!

    Yard House always comes through. Good drinks, solid food, and the service was on point. The pork burger was --definitely a must try. I'll for sure be back!

    I really just wanted to shout out their happy hour that goes from Monday through Friday from 3-6pm. They offer a large selection of their appetizers you can get for half off including their pizzas. The Mushroom Truffle Pizza is an absolute must try which would only cost about $9-10 during happy hour. Otherwise, the service and ambiance at this Yardhouse is probably the same as what you'd expect if you've been to other locations before.

    Poke Nachos

    Yardhouse's happy hour is always great! We came as a party of three and were able to get seated right away. This Yardhouse location is located at the Irvine Spectrum which can get pretty busy, but we came at a slower time. There's lots of tables from booths, regular tables, and bar seating. We got our usual favorites which are the cheeseburger slides with fries and poke nachos. We also decided to try the truffle mushroom pizza. Everything was yummy and the quality was consistent with other Yardhouse locations.

    Pizzas were delicious!! Prices were great (happy hour)! Serviced by Zara and she was friendly. No complaints! Restaurant was lively not busy but was loud.

    Came here on a Saturday night and was pleasantly surprised. We were seated fairly quickly, and our waitress came by and checked on us multiple times! I love the large portions here and it's great for a group of people as well. They have a great variety of food so they have something for everyone. Also I love the huge beer selection!!!! One downside of this spot is that it can be rather loud inside. Other than that, definitely one of my go-tos at the Spectrum

    Fast service at the front!! Very friendly hostesses. They are efficient and very organized. We had a great server. I had a very long day, so I went out for a meal because we did not want to cook. We really enjoyed the poke nachos. It's fresh and very tasty! We actually got two of these! So good. Beer was great, I had a really good time here. Vibes were top notch to kick start the weekend!

    10 Crispy Traditional Wings

    Standard Yard House. Food is OK and service is OK. Everything is just OK. Beer selection is good though. Wings were pretty good to be honest and I've had their pizza. It's all all right.

    The tomato soup is delicious! Page was wonderful with amazing attitude We were seated right away, friendly service all around. Food was tasty and came out fresh. Lots of items on the menu offered vegetarian options / substitutions - they use Gardein for the chicken and they have a veggie patty!

    good asf pizza wings and nachos

    The food was bussin and Hector was mogging and hella cute he's also chill and funny I recommend him he also told us how to get soft drinks with a survey I recommend him

    This is actually the first negative restaurant review I have ever written. I usually avoid leaving bad reviews because I understand that service can be stressful and busy at times, and everyone can have an off day. Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing enough that I feel it needs to be shared. The service from our server, Kimberly , was extremely poor from start to finish. Our water was never proactively refilled, and whenever we asked for water, she acted like she did not want to provide it and showed clear reluctance and frustration. What made the experience worse was the overall unprofessional behavior. While we were still eating, she attempted to remove plates we were actively using. She also threw a used napkin from another table onto a plate she was taking from our table, which was completely inappropriate and unhygienic. Throughout the interaction, she continued making rude facial expressions and seemed irritated whenever we requested anything. When we asked to speak with a manager about the situation, we were told the manager was "not available" and would not come speak with us. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have had, not because of the food, but because of the service and lack of professionalism.

    Poke Nachos
    Ky-Anh H.

    This is one of a few Yardhouse locations in OC, located in Irvine Spectrum. The atmosphere was pretty typical between all the locations. The service from our waiter was great! We all cracked jokes and laughed with him and it was great. The only issue I have is that we ordered a specific beer which ended up being out of stock, and it took a long time to hear that news. We got to have a few samplers to pick a replacement, but my problem comes from the fact that we got charged for the original beer that we never got PLUS the new one chosen, which we didn't realize until checking the bill after already paying. I wish it would've gotten taken off when we heard that the original beer was out of stock, but now we've basically paid extra for nothing. Moving onto the food, everything was great on that end. We had poke nachos as an appetizer and these were so good and delicious. I honestly would just get these as a meal because they were amazing. I got a Two-Pepper Jack and upgraded the house fries to truffle parm fries, and they were so much better like that. The Two Pepper Jack itself was really good too, I enjoyed it way more than other burgers. I got it medium rare and it was nothing less than expected and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite I had. We also got an Oreo Brookie as compensation for the missing beer issue, but again, we also paid for it which was not great. On the opposite spectrum though, this was a good dessert. I'm not much of a desserts person in general, but I really liked having this at the end of the night. Overall I would say the food here is great. The service is good, but we had an issue of paying for something we never got, which I think reflects a bit poorly. That's not to say I wouldn't recommend Yardhouse, but it isn't something I'd overlook either.

    The question is what can I get the beyond sausage on that's vegan? Aynone got any ideas? Otherwise I'm getting the same thing again.

    You can also get the house turkey burger or beyond burger. You also may just get the same thing again.

    I noticed they have a huge vegan menu, but how do I know if their house brew beer is vegan? Do they use fish bladder to filter their beer?

    Sup? I'm ready?

    Love the food is delicious

We were greeted by an incredibly kind lady who was able to seat us within 10 to 15 minutes. They have a nice waiting area with couches so you don't have to be on your feet waiting like at other places in the area. We ordered their calamari to start - it was a bit salty, but the sauce they had was truly amazing. We also got their spinach-artichoke dip, and it was heavenly! The pita was warm and seasoned, and the spinach-artichoke dip was super fresh and obviously hot, which made the meal even more heartwarming. For an entrée, I ordered the shrimp tacos - the sauce was great, the shrimp was amazing as well, but I sadly couldn't finish it because I was so full from the appetizers already, so bear that in mind. At the end of the night, when we had already returned to our hotel, I came to the realization that I had forgotten my handbag at the restaurant! I called and was able to go back to the restaurant even though they were so close to closing; the same lady was at the desk and so was another gentleman, and they were both so kind, they asked a couple questions about what's inside the bag just to make sure that it was indeed mine, which truly reassured me at the attention to detail they put into this place and their care for their customers. If we're ever in the area again, I know exactly what place to go to!

If there were two large orders ahead of us, that should have been clearly communicated at the time of ordering so we could decide whether to stay or not. The manager did not approach us until I went to her directly to express our disappointment. Even then, the response felt more like an excuse than an apology. There was no accountability, no effort to make things right, and no indication that they would handle situations like this differently in the future. This was a really disappointing experience from a restaurant we've enjoyed in the past. A simple acknowledgment and proactive communication would have gone a long way. .
