    After a fun morning and afternoon watching professional pickleball at Lifetime in San Clemente, my eldest daughter and I went to Irvine Spectrum for dinner at Yard House (YH). We had a couple Darden gift cards to use up so here we are for the dine-in experience. Parking was a bit challenging as everyone wanted to be at Irvine Spectrum at the same time as us, but we got lucky to snatch a spot. Thank you! YH was nearby so it was less than a few minutes walk from parking to restaurant. We were greeted with a smile upon entry. They were pretty busy, but we got lucky to be seated right away. Thank you again! Nolan, Claire, and Jeff (our servers) were super friendly and amazing in their presence and service. They got our foods and drinks to us timely and checked up on us from time to time. Thank you all for the exceptional service from beginning to end! Now for the food... My 3 mix & match tacos with spicy rice and pinto beans did not impress unfortunately. Cumin Chili Shrimp was tasty, but it lacked substance... it needed more veggies or something. Beer-Battered Fish was the best taco out of the 3 even though I didn't care for the sriracha aioli as it had a strong flavor that I can't describe... huge fish filet though. Vampire Carnitas had flavorful pork, but its exterior was fried with cheese or something that made it a salty taco. Rice is labeled spicy, but it's not spicy at all... pretty bland. Pinto beans were okay... nothing special. Hence, 4 stars! My daugther got the Whisky Glazed Salmon with tomato bisque as an add-on. WOW, black pepper glazed salmon was out of this world delicious! Parmesan mashed potatoes were delightfully smooth. Roasted carrots and baby broccoli were tenderly sweet. Tomato bisque was perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend plate and add-on! I should have gotten an order of this salmon plate instead of the tacos. Next time I know better. I couldn't help myself and order more food... - Truffled Mushroom Pizza was nicely done. Love the truffle flavor and aromatic mushrooms. Very tasty and would get again. - Onion Ring Tower fell short unfortunately with its flat and non-crispy batter. It came with two different dips... light ranch and honey mustard I think. Tower presentation was impressive though... it gets an A+ for appeal! I'll pass on this next time though. - Sweet Potato Fries were pretty standard. Nothing too exciting. It came with a dark honey dip which was different. Now for the drink... Picante Margarita virgin style was refreshingly delightful. If I wasn't driving, I would get it with the liquor (calirosa rosa blanco, orange liqueur, citrus agave, cayenne syrup, tajin rim). Will get again hopefully with the liquor next time! =) We're not frequent customers of YH, but now we've tasted their foods and drinks... we will indeed return for more deliciousness... salmon plate, pizza, and margarita here we come. Thanks YH! See you again soon!

    Chicken Lettuce Wraps

    We came on a Saturday afternoon for lunch/dinner. To start, the wait wasn't that bad which was nice! I think we waited 15-20 minutes. It was quick for a Saturday :) Food- Great! We all ordered very different things (beer, cocktails, pancakes, chicken wraps, fries, salads, poke, burger, ice cream sundae) and all were great :) Service- Our waiter and waitress were really sweet and helpful. There were a few shift changes so some orders got lost in translation and we had to ask a few times about food that we ordered. A few of our items were forgotten about but we eventually got them :) All of the staff was great, but I think some things got a little lost among the business of a Saturday, which I think was also prom night as we saw some parties dressed up! Inside was huge! Tonsssssss of seating and tables. Nicely decorated and clean. I would definitely come back :)

    Came here to Yard House in the Spectrum for Father's Day. The place was totally packed for the World Cup. Energy was crazy. Still got seated instantly in a comfy booth. Elite service. Figured it's the absolute best spot for an ice-cold brew and some quick snacks. Love that. We just ordered a few apps before bouncing. The poke nachos were good. Fish quality could be a tiny bit better, but stil solid. Got some wings too. Half Korean chili, half BBQ. That BBQ had a perfect little kick to it! Good food, good people, perfect vibe.

    Always a good time at Yard House. The perfect place to watch any sports game, the entire place is filled with TVs that you can watch from any angle. The food is amazing, very delicious and filling. Classic American grub that comes at a fair price and big portions, they also have a gigantic selection of draft beer and other beverages. The place can get very busy but is huge and has plenty of seating and a large central bar. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

    Filthy restaurant. Didn't feel comfortable eating here when it was so disgustingly dirty.
    Tracy T.

    Filthy restaurant, did not feel comfortable eating in such a dirty restaurant. We found old cloth napkins on the floor under our booth. My silverware wrapped in the cloth napkin was dirty. Terrible experience.

    A fun sports bar with great happy hour deals at Irvine Spectrum. There is a parking structure nearby, but you would still need to cross a small street to get to the restaurant. They have mostly indoor seating with a small outdoor patio. Service interactions are minimal because all of the tables have little screens that you can place your order and pay on. The only items that you can't order from there are the alcoholic beverages. The food comes out very quickly. My favorite thing to order (especially during happy hour) are the poke nachos. The fish is of decent quality and pairs well with the rest of the ingredients. The portion sizes are decent and the flavor is good. Some of the items fall on the more oily side, but it's still a fun place to eat.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Expect a long wait whenever there is a decent game on. Come here pretty often as there aren't many sports bars in Irvine, but everyone's got the same idea. Happy Hour is a great deal but if you miss it (which will most likely happen when there's a game on) the normal menu is overpriced for what you get. Got the poke salad, small portion size and cost me $25. Did have to wait a bit for the food as well. The service is good most of the time and they allow you to split by item which makes going with a group easy. Watched Spurs vs Knicks Game 4 and apparently everyone in California is a Knicks fan cause they've had a bacon egg and cheese once.

    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.

    10 Crispy Traditional Wings
    Mandro E.

    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.

    Went here last Friday, got progressively busier at happy hour with a good crowd, but plenty of tables available

    Hey Shirley! Happy Hour is available throughout the whole restaurant.

    Yes good doggies are always invited.

    Does every table have a good view of a TV?

    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 noticed a few things about the service. It was a little crowded during Happy Hour, and it seemed like there was an event, but the drinks took a while to come out. Our server didn't really come check on us during our meal as well. He came by once to double check if we wanted to order anything before Happy Hour was over. Otherwise, it was almost impossible to waive him over for issues with our food or asking for the bill. The drinks. We both agreed that the Cucumber Refresher needed to be mixed a little more since the first few sips were straight vodka, compared to the martini which was nice. The food. My steak tacos were great and I thought they didn't need any adjustments. A great addition to their menu. My friend's food however, had pieces of steak on her plate. She is sensitive to red meat, and there were small pieces hidden in the fries that come with her plate. We were surprised by the cross contamination. Once we finally got our server's attention, he apologized for the cross contamination and would offer to let the kitchen know for future reference. He did not offer to remake my friend's meal, or comp any part of our bill. As for the bill, we didn't realize it's not $18 flat. It could be more depending on the drink of your choice. We explained our confusion since the offer on the front of the menu says $18 sandwich or tacos with any drink. It did not say that certain drinks would cost more. We weren't upset or anything, just confused and a little surprised by our overall experience.
