    First time went to a Yard House, it has great atmosphere with the USA Soccer Team in the World Cup games. Our server Tiffany is amazing, we are fast and explained what is her favorite dishes to us. The food came out in a timely manner. I love the Tuna Stack it was great dish to start with. Then it comes the Maui Chicken, the sauce was amazing sweet and tangy. Now I just wish they have location near my house.

    Came here with some friends for Saturday lunch and had a great experience. Our server was attentive and funny. My food was very flavorful and the fries were good too. Our booth by the window was the perfect place to eat and chat!

    Spinach dip. I liked the seasoning on the chips.

    We came here late on a Saturday around 10 pm. The place was packed and there was a short wait. The service was good and attentive. We never went without our needs being addressed quickly. I had a flavored lemon drop for my cocktail and it was good. The spinach dip appetizer was also good. We both had salmon for our main dish. The portion was nice and it was cooked well but lacked flavor. Without the glaze on the side, it wouldn't have been enjoyable. I had loaded mashed potatoes as my side. Also just ok. The place is big and loud. Even if a game had been on, it would have been difficult to see and enjoy. I would have expected more tvs for a place that's a sports bar. Overall, this isn't a place I seek out. I come here mainly because you can get a hot sit down meal late at night.

    Great place to do business or socialize. Great menu and the tap beers are wonderful. So whether it is a weekday or weekend this is the place to go try out.

    I've been on a Brussels sprouts binge lately and let me tell you, these Yard House Brussels are Elite. Crispy, Smokey, sweet and medium spicy. I would absolutely recommend if you are a fan of some heat! The calamari was well seasoned, you can tell they seasoned the batter. I also had a lychee martini, it was strong and sweet. Bartenders were all attentive which I love! And the ambience is always laid back, not stuffy at all, plenty of TVs so great for a sports day/night.

    Lunched with 9 other folks. Meals were either average or excellent so I would like to make this a 3.5 star reviews based on food. Service was average but payment was not so good. We had uploaded pass around one tabletop device to split the check and it took 15 minutes. Also ao loud you coukd hear the conversations. So 3 stars it is. I liked my turkey club with sweet potato fries. Fries were cold as the food likely waited on all of the groups dishes.

    Brussel sprouts and House Salad
    Tieshia P.

    I came to Raleigh for a work trip. We found this cute little area with several options to eat. The menu at Yard House looked appealing and I have not been here before. When ordering our food, we asked the waiter to bring our salads first and then the other dishes later. This didn't happen. All the food except the spicy tuna stack was delivered at the same time. The brussel sprouts were good. The spicy tuna stack was ok. It was very fresh but missing something. The house salads were fresh and our favorite dish. My colleague ordered the chicken nachos. She said they would have been better had they come out after the salad. By the time she was done with her salad they were cold. Other than this, the service was good. I would recommend visiting here at least once. The menu has something for everyone. and the lemonades are great.

    The service was great! Malik deserves a raise! Just very attentive and respectful! There was a good variety of games on the TVs as well so the vibe was good as well. Onion rings are just as good as last time! I decided to try something else on the menu so I went with the cheesesteak and I will say I was a bit disappointed. I know it's not fair to compare this to other authentic cheesesteaks but I hate when the Cheesesteaks don't mix their cheese with the meat and they just throw 2 slices of cheese on top. It's a pet peeve of mine because it makes the sandwich dry almost, and even with the garlic aioli it still was dry. I will go again for sure and try more things on the menu next up is the burger!

    Ahi Sashimi

    Came here to watch women's ncaa basketball tournament and I didn't know they had a Happy Hour. We sat at the bar which I'm not usually a fan of, because I feel you get lost with all the task they have. Full disclosure I had gone a couple of weeks before with my mom and the wait was an hour plus but I saw some seats at the bar and we grabbed them. I was not happy with the service we received, but today was a different story. It could've been the time we were there, but I didn't want Jenna to wait on me. I can't say who helped us, especially since the receipt had Kay and Savannah but we had a gentleman. We started off with a flight of beers and we chose our next drink based on what we liked and ended up with Give 'em Helles. For the food, we tried several items, which for happy hour was half priced. The pizza was good, the tuna sashimi was great and the Brussels sprouts were good, but I felt they weren't as crispy as they were supposed to be and I blame that on the sauce they put on the top. They have outdoor seating and plenty of tvs to watch the games, it's a very loud place due to this while they also play good tunes. I would definitely recommend checking out the place.

    I'm typically disappointed with restaurant food and rightfully so?!? I usually relegate restaurants to the weekends, meltdown days, or social events. Either myself or a family member cooks during the week. After having a near meltdown, I settled on Yard House. I've eaten here 8++ years ago and wasn't necessarily impressed. This particular Friday must have been graduation celebration day, as it was pretty packed with large groups for a 3pm Friday dining time. I'm dubbing this best restaurant meal of the week, maybe month! Weekday between 3-5 selected apps are 50% off. Late lunch partner opted for calamari and Brussels sprouts appetizers. I opted for the Asian inspired pork chop with cauliflower, quinoa, veggie medley. The apps were solid. Calamari light flour dredge, not too chewy, faint "fishy" smell. Brussel sprouts coated in Korean inspired savory & sweet glaze (slight bitter taste). Both appetizers accompanied by a dipping sauce(s). Generous portions. I opted for a bone in Asian inspired pork chop. Meat moist and not too salty with a good sear. I was concerned about cauliflower rice, not to fear. Minimal cauliflower rice and the soy based sauce gave the veggie medley plenty of flavor. Finally, there was a sweet and sour dipping sauce that balanced the meal well. Service was fine. If I had to guess they were short staffed on our visit. Our server checked on us several times, but we did have to request drink refills. Atmosphere is dark and could possibly be loud. We had no problem hearing each other. Good for groups with a reservation, solos, friends, girl nights, etc. Menu is expansive and price point large enough that MOST people should find something they like. I found it easier to navigate the online menu vs in person menu. Maybe all the stars aligned and this was a very, very good one off. Looking forward to trying again! Chain restaurant: 4.6

    The food was beyond amazing and the presentation of food was the best I have ever seen so far. Our server Andrew was beyond phenomenal! If I could clone him I would. He define customer service beyond the definition! The ambiance of the restaurant would approve any sports fan out there. The setting was nice and the restaurant was very spacious! The bar was really big as well. The developer who made this business did an amazing job from beginning to end. This is definitely on my favorite list.

    Super fast bar service. Great food and overall experience. Lively atmosphere! Plenty of TVs and nice patio seating.

    truly enjoyed my service there my server jazz was amazing. They brought out this cake for my mom and she recommended the best dishes.

Service started off a little hands-off since we ordered at the bar, but picked up toward the end when staff came by to check in. Drinks were high quality without being overpriced, and the vibe is relaxed--not at all pretentious. You can definitely come casual. If we had more time, we would've stayed longer or come back for another round.

Tokens are reasonably priced and older style arcade games only take 1- the more interactive or multi player games (think air hockey, basketball, dance dance etc) take 4. They have free popcorn, daily drink specials, and drinks were very reasonably priced. Despite being fairly busy, service at the bar was friendly and fast- I was impressed! Not much else for food here from what I can tell, so don't plan on having your meal here. I brought two teenage boys and we hung out for almost 2 hours- I think I spent about 40 bucks including tokens and a couple of drinks for myself. I really liked the street art vibe, especially all of the murals and the Instagram wall. They've done a great job with ambiance! The outdoor patio adds a lot of additional chill space. When we were there they didn't have a band playing, but I think they do often. I almost want to give it 5 stars, but several of the games were not working properly and ate our tokens. That say you can grab someone to fix them, but nobody appeared available, and I wouldn't have wanted to bother them multiple times anyhow... Would be great if they were proactively checking and fixing them. More snacks would be great too! Other than that it was a really great experience, I would definitely go back.
