    A bunch of yummy food off the happy hour menu
    Renee T.

    I haven't been here in a minute. Before a movie we stopped by and noticed happy hour was still happening. We got a small pizza, hummus plate, and a few other items. Prices were insane, the entire bill was like $50 which also included a few drinks. Service was great, the place is always busy with music and sports on every tv. Would for sure come back!

    Yard House is one of my go-to spots at the Irvine Spectrum when I'm meeting up with a group. It has a fun, lively atmosphere, a huge drink selection, and the prices are pretty reasonable for the area. Cocktails are usually around $13, the portions are generous, and the food has always been solid. If you can make it during happy hour, even better--the half-price appetizers are a great deal and several are large enough to feel like a full meal. Another thing I really appreciate is how easy they make it to split the bill. Using the tablet at the table, each person can select exactly which items they want to pay for and check out individually. No awkward math or trying to divide one giant check. Between that convenience, the good value, and the lively Irvine Spectrum location, it's a great option for drinks, dinner, or a casual night out with friends.

    We went in as a group of 8, and surprisingly they had no wait on a Saturday night which was really good. I got the truffle cheese burger and it was tasty. I do think yard house is over priced when you don't go during their happy hour. Next time I would only go during happy hour and get the poke nachos.

    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.

    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
    Megan O.

    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 :)

    Nasty floor under our booth. Nobody here cleans up after each guest. Onion rings and french fries and trash. Oh my.
    Evonne G.

    I am usually a huge fan of Yard House but this experience was a major disappointment. First, the restaurant was filthy. As we walked to our booth, I could see the nasty food and trash leftover from all the patrons underneath the tables. I couldn't believe what the floor underneath our booth looked like. I took a picture as proof. So gross!!! So that was a bad start. Then we found out they were our of lemonade. Sorry kids! I ordered a beer that didn't arrive until after we finished our appetizers. Every time I reminded my server, she would assure me she was getting it then I'd watch her get lost in the kitchen. It was just terrible . Very disappointing.

    Cheeseburger Sliders
    Alyssa T.

    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.

    The best beer in Orange County! Perfect service and staff. My favorite place, works until late

    Korean BBQ Cheesesteak
    Shawn S.

    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.

    3 Taco Flight and Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich
    Lexy M.

    Solid option for casual dining, especially if you'd like to catch a game and grab a beer! We came for dinner after a movie and it was an overall good experience, would come back! My boyfriend had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich which was really good! The chicken was really tender and juicy. I'm not the biggest chicken sandwich fan and even I loved it!! I ordered the three taco plate, one shrimp, one fish, and one carne asada. The tacos were okay, not my favorite. Didn't love the presentation for the rice and beans either, the beans were poured over the scoop of rice and it was honestly a bit unappetizing to look at. Drinks were really good and there's tons of options for food. We would definitely come back, I'd love to try some other menu items as they have so many good looking options. Our server was great and I love the easy pay options with the tablet at the table. Good experience overall:)

    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

    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.

    How busy does it get on a Friday around 5pm?

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

    Does the late night happy hour include appetizers or has that been removed?

    No more food for late night happy hour. Only drinks

    Hi. Does this location to parties over 10 people?

    Yes

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

    Are dogs allowed in your outdoor patio?

    Yes good doggies are always invited.

    Does every table have a good view of a TV?

    Are you guys open for dine in yet?

    Hi Justine! Yes, we are open for dine-in and patio seating.

    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

The star of this plate was the sauce that came with it. It changes the flavor profile of the sea bass entirely. Personally, I did not like the sea bass alone. It tasted rather bland but the sauce rescued the plate. We also got the garlic noodles which were yummy but nothing crazy, we give them a 3.5/5. Not pictured was the cooked bokchoy because as soon as we tried the first piece we could not stop because it was so good!!! We lastly had the blueberry pecan tart which was.... Omg.... Amazing I wanted to order a second. I get very overwhelmed by sweetness but this plate was perfect. Creamy, freshly baked, big enough for one person or to modestly share between two people. It's topped with vanilla ice cream which was a huge plus! Would def go again though solely for the pecan tart.

    Service is wonderful. This review is for a catering order…read more We ordered 20 butter chicken burritos (and they offered to turn the order into 40 mini burritos. Perfect!). The burritos individually wrapped and were the right size for the parents, though even at mild, the butter chicken was a little spicy to me. I asked about allergens, and the lady let me know that they were going nut free in a week and everything would no longer have nuts. The butter chicken does contain dairy in the form of queso. We also ordered a tray of the corn bhel (this was AMAZING) and mixed salad (in hindsight, probably not the best order for a bunch of four and five year olds). Both are dairy-free and nut-free. The food was delivered promptly to the venue exactly on time. I paid for the order via Zelle when I placed the order.

    What did I just eat?…read more I'm genuinely confused after eating at Maast Indian in Irvine, because I don't know how something can look so promising on the outside and taste so disappointing on the inside. I was skeptical walking in, not gonna lie. The place wasn't exactly packed -- maybe three tables had people and there was one person waiting on an order -- but I figured hey, every new spot deserves a fair shot. The interior actually looks really nice. Clean, modern, good layout, good lighting... it feels like a place that should be delivering quality food. Then I ordered the Tandoori Chicken "Panini Sandwich". First of all... $15 for a sandwich like that is wild. And if you're going to charge $15, the food better be memorable in a good way. This was memorable in the worst way. The flavor was just off. The chicken didn't taste like tandoori should. It didn't have that smoky, spiced kick you expect -- it tasted bland and kind of weird, like the seasoning didn't know what it wanted to be. The whole sandwich felt thrown together, and the "panini" part didn't add anything except disappointment. And what really got me was the value. No fries. No chips. Nothing on the side. Just a sandwich. For $15. During lunch hours. That's crazy. For that same price, I can go to Curry Hut, Curry Time, or other grab-and-go Indian spots and get a full combo plate that actually fills you up and tastes like Indian food is supposed to taste. This wasn't even in the same league. This wasn't a "maybe I ordered the wrong thing" situation. This was a "how did this make it onto the menu" situation. I hate leaving negative reviews because I understand how hard it is to run a small business, and I'm not here to tear anyone down. But the food needs a serious reality check. The presentation and the space are great -- but the kitchen needs to match that same standard. If the owner sees this, I'd honestly love to talk. Feel free to reach out. And for anyone reading this: you know I don't throw out 1-star reviews like that. The only reason this isn't a 1 is because I genuinely don't want to hurt a small business. But this experience was not good.
