    I've eaten at Yard House a handful of times over the years but not frequently. That needs to change because they have REALLY good food! Also great happy hour deals too. Me and my husband came here 2 nights in a row while in town; mainly because it was walking distance from our hotel. The first visit we shared a cheese pizza. Simple and delicious! My husband is picky when it comes to pizza and he really liked this one. The next night we came back with the other couple we were vacationing with... we got a giant pretzel to share. Yum! A shrimp appetizer dish. Delicious! And spicy beef noodles which were fantastic.

    After being evacuated from stagecoach, we were hungry and it was late. We were staying in Palm Desert and wanted something nearby that would have dinner and wouldn't be closing soon as it was around 10:15pm. There was no wait time and we were seated right away. They are located right in front of a parking lot area and we were able to park right there. They have a very casual ambience very sports bar feeling but also family friendly. Because of stagecoach, there were multiple people from the festival. It was really nice to come in and have the AC cold. The environment was relaxing and welcoming. I was super excited to see that they had a healthy menu with the under 700 that wasn't just a small portion but actually just not as bad for you. I really enjoyed the cilantro lime chicken dish with cauliflower rice and the veggies. I would definitely get this again as I was full after the meal. My bf decided to go for the pepper jack burger and onion rings. The onion rings were very fresh and crunchy. The burger was cooked just as he ordered. It is also great that they have a vast selection of beers on tap. My bf had the Allagash curioux and I had a Guinness. Overall this was a great experience with tasty food.

    Popped in while getting the car charged and what batter way to wait than to get something to cool off with. Originally the plan was to charge the car at the charging station in the lot. From there grab a drink while we wait before heading to lunch. One thing lead to another and we ended up just having lunch here instead. It's alway bar seating for us the last few times we've been. Service was a little slow at the beginning as it did take a while for a drink. The place wasn't that busy when we walked in as there wasn't even a host at the table. We just walked up to bar and seated ourselves. After we got served, it was great. The staff were very friendly and sweet. It was still a little too early for happy hour which is alway a good time to visit as the deals are great. Discount on drinks and half off appetizers on a lot of items. For lunch, the new items in the menu of garlic beef noodles. I had it a while back at another location and was quite impressed with the dish. Enough garlic taste with decent slices of beer that's marinated and tossed in a garlic noodles with veggies. If you haven't tried it, it's quite tasty. Also the three tacos with rice and beans. They're decent in size and the shrimps were quite tasty and big. Rice and beans were actually combined together compared to on their own. Lastly the hummus plate which is a starter was quite nice. And of course the truffle fries, alway a must. Food was good and the service was nice. A little slow at the beginning but it did make up later on. People did start to show up as it was approaching happy hour. At least with Yard House, it's good that you know what to expect.

    Early Sunday lunch @ Yardhouse.. huge is an understatement.

    SHORT ANSWER: Yes, this place has been great for us... I've done a few reviews so this is an update to my other updates.. LOCATION: In The River in Rancho Mirage, hard to miss, lots of parking but at times this entire center gets slammed. Since Babe's left the property, it seems like the property is still active. Lease rates here are kind of out of touch with the market. FACILITY: So nice inside, well laid out with tons of space, TV, beer, and booths and tables. MENU: great option, look online you will find what you want, need. FOOD PREP: perfect on each of our visits, for what it is they do a great job... kitchen manager must be Jedi. FOOD QUALITY: very good, tastes as good as it looks and we've ordered many of the options here, doubtful you will be disappointed. LIBATIONS: Large and in charge, we did not drink anything on the visit but I am sure at peak hours or events, this place is happening. WAITSTAFF: ALWAYS IMPRESSED, from reception to server, people are nice, fun, and seem happy to be working there... Not always the case in these type of restaurants. Our server, Alexiss, was just so amazing, ask for her section and tip her like you're a billionaire. OVERALL VALUE: very good, we shared a burger not to be cheap, rather that is all we can eat. Never anyone complaining with some split plate fee, we tip for two and don't need to waste take-home containers for food we usually throw away. This is a well managed establishment which is not easy in this thin margin business... so impressed I am... ya more Yoda Jedi speak! TIP: Outdoor seating is very nice, pretty quiet but can a little warm in the hots months.

    Best deals are during Happy Hour which runs Monday through Friday 3:00pm - 6:00pm where you can get 50% off select appetizers and pizzas. All the dishes are full-portions. I went during Happy Hour and each dish was between $8-$9 which is really a fantastic deal. I like that you can order and pay directly from the tablet that's on the table. Even though I utilized the tablet, the server was friendly and she consistently checked on me and made sure my beverage was refilled. I blame the good deals for enabling me to be a big back. I ended up ordering four dishes even though I was dining alone. 1. Chicken Nachos: A hefty portion that comes with chicken, tomato's, fresh sliced jalapeños, cilantro, green onion, sour cream and guacamole. Cheese is baked onto the tortilla chips and finished with a drizzle of salsa. A bit skimpy of the protein, I did wish there was more chicken. 2. Truffled Mushroom Pizza: Great if you like a strong umami mushroom flavor. A mix of shiitake, cremini and oyster mushrooms and drizzled with truffle aioli. The crust was decent and a good amount of cheese. A little greasy. 3. Poke Nachos: Love the crunch from the fried wonton chips. Comes with raw tuna, fresh avocado, serrano peppers, green onions, nori, and drizzled with sriracha aïoli, white truffle sauce, and sweet soy ginger sauce. I think they used a bit too much soy ginger sauce because it was a tad salty. Still a very refreshing dish! 4. Classic Sliders: Generously comes with four sliders topped with cheddar and their special sauce. Comes with a side of fries and pickles. I loved the brioche buns and as basic as cheeseburgers are, this was probably my favorite dish. I was stuffed and had plenty to take home. Overall a good experience!

    Visiting from out of town so stopped in on a Thursday afternoon for a quick bite with family. The place was packed, but we were able to grab a table quickly. Chips + guacamole and edamame for apps were great. We ordered the HH buffalo pizza, the burger and fries and the kale Caesar - all were good choices - large portions and flavorful. Plenty of parking nearby.

    I had a great time coming to this place! It was packed on the day I tried this place for the first time but we were able to get a table in less than 30 mins and we got some great service while there also the table booth we were seated at was big and spacious. :) The place was very lively (especially since that day was a game day when we went) but even tho there was lots of people it didn't feel crowded. The food was SO GOOD, I really LOVED the truffle fries they had, also both the pizza and chicken tenders were good. :D I really recommend coming to this place to eat, I also recommend coming by during its happy hour since they have lots of good options! :D

    Ate here today for happy hour and am not sure hat was up with the server. She was not attentive and/or weeded but still had time to stop by the bar and chat with a lady sitting by herself. It was empty when we got there and filled up quickly. So I get being in the weeds. Our POS terminal was removed after she spilled beer all over my kid. She left and eventually came back. This normally is our go to spot for a late lunch as you can't go wrong with the food. Normally we would have ordered more drinks and even refills through the machine. She finally showed up after the manager came to assist us settling the check. Her demeanor when she realized we had escalated getting out of there is worthy of a write up. Her smile and smugness and overall demeanor lacked maturity and professionalism for her age. Hard pass on her but still a solid place to enjoy good food with great prices. No attempt to upsell from her whatsoever....

    Cheers!

    In the area for a few nights and stopped in to see a football game with a few of our friends. Unbelievable selection of draft beers, great food and awesome bartenders. The Mango Cart is delicious and a must try, along with the Ahi Stack, and Blackened Chicken Cesar salad. Located at the Riverwalk amongst many other restaurants, stores and bars. The Yard House is loud, has many T.V.s and is conveniently located to many hotels in the area. We all had a great time at the bar top and would highly recommended watching a football game here, the energy was great and the atmosphere was fantastic. Cheers!

    Ambiance is that of a sports bar, but better, with more of a rock vibe. Beer selection was excellent! Our server, Alexis, was friendly and prompt. She kept an eye on us to be sure our drinks were filled and table cleared. Happy hour is the time to go with drink specials and half off most apps. We got the poke nachos and it had to be one of the best things we've had in a long time! I could have had another plate and been super happy! Also got the black pepper whiskey nuggets which we good but nothing compared those nachos! Would recommend!

    Chicken Kale Ceasar

    I've never been to a Yard House until tonight. I thoroughly the 80s tunes and general vibe of the place. My Kale Ceasar with Chicken was a solid portion and the roasted brussels, pistachio nuts and white raisins gave the salad its great taste. Perfect portion for a light later in the day meal. Special thanks to Silvana our Bartender who took great care of us.

    The Carnivore Pizza
    Randy B.

    Great experience, have not been to a Yard House in a very long time. Not sure why when there is one close to me, just was not on my radar. Love the fact this is a beer lovers paradise, they have over 100 beers on tap, on top of that, their pizza is excellent, very unexpected, but very happy I tried it. I got the Carnivore, pepperoni, seasoned beef, spicy sausage, crispy bacon, mozzarella and tomato. Great mix of flavors with the various toppings, the crust was soft, with crisp edges very tasty all around. I did go in for one of their Yard's of beer, just had to experience it once I guess. This thing was very tall, but it is actually not as big as you think, it is 32 ounces. It was cold and tasted great. My server was super cool, helpful, gave me suggestions and I was even able to try a few samples of different beers. Great experience. This is a very large Yard House, modern interior, concrete all around. Very clean inside with a ton of seating inside as well as a big patio for sitting outside. Located in a very pretty area with fountains and outdoor seating areas. They have a huge parking lot as well, so parking is not an issue. Enjoy!

    The food here was decent, but unfortunately the overall experience was overshadowed by very poor service. Our large party asked for an outdoor table to be wiped down, and the manager responded rudely, saying they were too busy to do it. Even though the restaurant was clearly busy, the attitude and lack of basic courtesy were disappointing. The ambiance however was fine. Service throughout the visit was slow and not friendly, which really took away from what could have been an enjoyable meal. With better customer service, this place could offer a much more positive experience, but based on this visit, it fell short.

    The ohhhhh sooooooo yummy pretzel!! It's a must.

Unlike so many other parts of trips out here - the oppressive heat, dodging careening buggies driven by seemingly lost and possibly inebriated golfers, and the discovery of sand in eyes / nose / shoes / liver - it's a tradition that sits very well with me. I'd even go as far as saying that the food here makes all of the above worthwhile. The restaurant has a car park to the rear and limited street parking in front. The interior has a lovely ambiance, quietly refined by subtle lighting and a gentle arboreal theme. I've seen it busy and our party has also had the place to ourselves on late visits, but I'd definitely recommend a reservation just in case especially with a larger party. The staff provide attentive and genuinely caring service, and the portion sizes are substantial and easily justify the more-than-reasonable cost. The food itself though is the reason this place is always a highlight reel spot for me. Every dish is a feast for the eyes as well as the palette, beautifully presented and packed with flavor. My personal go-to is the perfectly seasoned and healthy Harvest Salad, usually with an added protein (the blackened chicken adds a real flavor kick and the variety in texture that I love in great food). Fortunately my partner happily defaults to the opulent and delightful Lobster Lasagna, as I'd be loath to miss out on a bite or three of that too. Appetizer-wise, I'm yet to regret any soup-of-the-day choice. The Zucchini last night was... well... yep, perfect is no overstatement. Sweet Basil is an absolute gem, and a must-visit for any visitor here. The only even remotely negative things I can think to mention is to be aware of the rather early closing time for at least part of the year.
