    We had a great experience at Yard House! The food was really good, everything was clean, and our server James was awesome. He was super attentive, friendly, and just had a great personality. I mentioned it was my birthday and he took care of my complimentary dessert, which was exactly what I was hoping for. I also want to give a shoutout to his manager. He was just as kind, professional, and personable, with a great sense of humor. You can definitely tell that both of them are in the right line of business. They genuinely seem to enjoy what they do and it shows. My husband even made sure to speak with the manager before we left to let him know how great James was. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back! Just a little note about the photos: We came in around happy hour, so we enjoyed some drinks and appetizers at the restaurant, along with my birthday dessert. We also ordered entrees, but by that point we were already full, so we decided to take them home. The photos include what we enjoyed at the restaurant and the entrees we ordered to go.

    Fantastic spot! In town for business and had some downtime after checking in to the hotel. Walked just down the street and stopped in here. Inviting outdoor area, great location, walked right in- no wait. Sat at the bar, which was full service. The whole place is super open with a ton of different size tables making it great for individuals or large groups. An insane selection of draft beer, a nice happy hour, friendly staff! Food was so great! Highly recommend the Picante Margarita!

    The food was great! We sat outside and it was nice with the shade. Our service was also great. I would definitely recommend coming here again.

    Ever sense a bartender told me Yard House steak distributor is the same a Capital Grill, I make it a monthly stop. The ribeye is absolutely amazing. You can sub the sides and I got the truffle fries with broccoli.

    Chicken Nachos

    Stopped by Yard House for after dinner drinks and an appetizer. When you arrive you can either park outside or in a nearby garage. After parking you'll walk inside the restaurant, check in with the host and be seated. The vibe inside the restaurant after entering is upscale, classic rock music playing, and high energy/loud. For drinks I ordered a bull city cider which was excellent along with a plate of chicken nachos. The chicken nachos are definitely big enough to share. Would definitely recommend yard house if you are looking for a place with good bar food/beer and has tvs.

    Ahi Crunchy Salad

    We were in town for a track meet and after being out all morning, this was a wonderful experience. Of course we're in the middle of March madness so there were multiple TVs throughout the restaurant and it didn't matter where you sat in your booth. TVs were in your view. Service was with a smile every time.. Now let's get to the food. The Aji tuna salad and the Aji tuna stack for both incredible. They were fresh became with wonton chips on the side that were crunchy and after being outside all morning and into the afternoon, it was just what we needed. To that point, someone else had the bacon cheddar burger and fries and said it was very juicy and fries were crunchy. Everyone shared in the fries. We had two birthdays at the table, so got the chocolate lava cake and the whiskey, caramel butter cake. My favorite was the butter cake because the chocolate is just too chocolatey for me, but there were no crumbs left from either.!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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'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

With little signage the space feels like a natural speakeasy. It's unpolished enough to feel a little sleazy, yet polished enough to never feel dirty.

Whether you're a serious whiskey enthusiast or just looking for a well-made cocktail, you're in good hands.

The interior features rotating art hung on the walls--which adds a great aesthetic and is even available for purchase if you fall in love with a piece. The drink menu is impressively extensive, and the bartenders certainly don't skimp on the pours; if you aren't a frequent drinker, one strong cocktail will definitely be plenty. The staff is consistently polite and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere makes for a solid night out. The only notable drawbacks are the lack of a food menu, not even offering small bites, and a noticeable smoke odor inside that might bother non-smokers. Still, it's a great spot for drinks and atmosphere.

For food, it's just light snacks like olives and cheese and crackers. If you're coming with a group, they have several communal tables available. Parking is available in the deck around the corner.
