    Stopped by Yard House for happy hour and had a great experience! The service was friendly and attentive, the happy hour deals were definitely worth it, and the drinks were delicious. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because there were a few small things that could have been a little better, but overall I'd definitely come back for the drinks, good service, and happy hour specials. Poke nachos are a MUST! The restaurant was dimly lit, not too busy, and overall a nice place to wind down after work.

    Went over Mid Day to meet my wife for lunch. Parked in the Mall Parking (Yard House does provide validation) Nice big restaurant with plenty of seating, and TV's showing sports. Menu is prettt diverse and they have a great happy hour(unfortunately I was too early to partake) I ordered some Birria Tacos Vampire Style(cheese crusted shell) and. Moon Time IPA Tacos were flavorful and packed with a tasty Birria along with a tasty Cosome for dipping. The accompanying rice and beans were very flavorful. The beer was a nice refreshing IPA that paired with the Tacos quite well. Service was very quick and I felt well taken care of. I really like the whole ambiance of the place and its always a great hang, be it in a group, or just to watch some sports.

    We dined at Yard House after attending my son's graduation at Golden One. The place was packed and we had to wait almost an hour for a table for 7 people. They do not take reservation. Luckily, the service was quick after we sat down and food kept on coming. The only disappointing thing was that they ran out of pizza dough, so we didn't get to try any of the pizza. I was looking forward to the Mushroom Truffle Pizza. We got a bunch of dishes to share. My favorite was the Poke Nachos. Generous portion with extra crispy chips. Tuna was fresh. The sauce was delicious with a mild kick. The avocado and jalapenos made the dish even better. I would also get the Crispy Brussel Sprouts again. It was tossed in a sweet gochujang sauce. Mildly spicy and addicting. The Fried Calamari was also a hit. Nicely fried served with marinara and tartar sauce. A large menu of drinks. I believe it's also a full bar too. Everyone was happy with their wine and beer selection. I had a mango refresher and it was perfect! Great place for large parties. Happy Hours from 3-6 PM with a selection of dishes half off and discount on wine, beer and cocktails.

    i visited during their weekday happy hour, and it was well-worth it! the appetizers and pizza was still full size even though it was half price, but be aware it is only available for dine in. the food tasted amazing! service was friendly, and the food came out quick even during a busy time. the ambiance of the restaurant was great, with a bar area in the center and plenty of seating around it. the restaurant is conveniently located near many shops and other restaurants, golden 1 center, and many hotels. it was a great place to check out!

    Thursday night, around 10PM. The hostess at the front misinformed us when we asked if they still were doing Late Night Happy Hour. We waited about 15 minutes for a table, only to find out that regular dine-in Happy Hour (1/2 off select apps & all pizzas, and $2-$4 off discounts on drinks) was Mon-Fri 3-6PM, and the Late Night Happy Hour was only Sun-Wed from 10PM-close. Decided to stay and just order from the full menu which was still available until late, sharing the Chicken Nachos between 3 people. This was massive and loaded with pinto beans, cheddar and Monterey jack cheese, tomatoes, cilantro, onions, guac, sour cream, jalapenos (requested on the side), guajillo chile, chipotle & tomatillo sauces. Tabletop tablet to order and pay. They do validate parking for the DOCO garage though. Next time, if in the area, I would probably try TOM's Watch Bar for late night offerings instead.

    First time at Yard House. Came in right before the dinner rush. We were seated immediately. The food was decent. Nothing extraordinary or amazing about it. The drinks were delicious! Definitely a place you want to stop if you want to watch sports and be close to the SAP Center. Chill and laid back.

    Great selection of beers on tap and a large food menu but the lacking service killed those positives. We were seated right away and our waiter got our drink orders out pretty quickly then we kinda got ghosted for the remainder of the time. Getting refills was damn near impossible. My husband ordered a beer and we watched it sit on the bar for 10 minutes waiting for someone to grab it and deliver it. We never got checked back up on once our food was delivered and again, took forever to get to go boxes. I had the Cobb salad with chicken, no complaints other than it needed more dressing. The espresso martini was kissing the garnish. And the sliders were super pink. I probably wouldn't come back for food service. Maybe just sit at the bar and have a beer.

    We stopped here after a concert and I'm glad we did. The staff works very hard and quick. Even on a really busy night, I still felt my needs were met and we were checked in on plenty. I like the atmosphere of this place and the music. The food was so tasty and I can't wait to come back and try more things. My fiancé and I both literally went "Mmmhh" when biting into our food. I got a bacon cheeseburger and he got the grilled chicken sandwich. Lots of flavor!

    We stopped on for a late lunch and we just made it before the rush of the Ice Skating show. The service was great. Our server was attentive and personable. The food was fresh and hot with such flavor. We enjoyed the onion ring tower because it wasn't overly greasy and the added touch of Parmesan brought it to another level. The breading was light which I appreciated. We shared a stacked turkey club. It was a large enough portion for 2 adults. Their fries are just the right enough crispiness. It became quite busy but not overly noisy

    Surprisingly unexpected, something for everyone! Very crowded and busy; lively and spacious. We had to wait for 25 minutes for a table. Server was very friendly and checked in us, refilling our waters and seeing if we needed anything. Great, attentive service. Surprisingly, the menu offers many options that I wouldn't expect but we decided to get some appetizers, first. We had Miguel's Queso and the Parmesan Truffle fries. The queso was so flavorful. The truffle fries were so crispy. Great appetizers! Shortly after, our entrees arrived -- we had the Jambalaya, Lobster Garlic Noodles and Steak Bowl. Portions are so large, very delicious. I ate half of my meal, it was so huge but I enjoyed the meal very much! As it's loud and crowded; with televisions all around; it's a lively spot to hang out and grab a bite to eat. There is something for everyone -- very delicious! Yard House exceeded my expectations; would highly recommend!

    An advertisement above the bar saying they have Togo beers

    Sat down and ordered a beer and a shot of Tequila Reposado. The employee Mason wearing a tshirt that has a trainee badge serves me a cold beer and not the shot I ordered but a Blanco.. I let it be but before finishing I saw the ad on the TV for togo beers and I asked a different employee who the. Walked up to Mason chatted with him and came back and told me we don't do those here. So I responded maybe take down the ad on the screen if you cannot honor It. Then a short woman came by before 11pm saying last call and "we don't want to kick you asses out right away but we want to get home too" Mason was standing right next to her while she said this. Every person in the area of that bar was chill and just finishing up no need to be so passive aggressive with your last call announcement. Because of this and a men's restroom with piss all over the floor I will never come back to this sh1t hole.

    Onion rings
    Nini A.

    The food here is extremely plain and honestly pretty flavorless. I don't eat American food very often, but if this is what it's supposed to represent, then it definitely fits the stereotype--safe, bland, and afraid of seasoning. Everything tasted intentionally toned down, as if strong herbs or bold flavors were avoided altogether. The ingredients felt basic, and the quality did not justify the prices at all. It had been several years since my last visit, and I suggested Yard House for a family lunch mainly because it's convenient for large groups with different preferences. In that sense, it works. We had a party of 8 with no reservations and only waited about 15 minutes. The restaurant wasn't packed and was comfortable enough. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing across the board. The mocktail had a strange bittersweet taste that I didn't enjoy for something non-alcoholic. The onion rings were just bad--soft, barely any texture, and zero crispness, which defeats the entire purpose of onion rings. The sauce didn't help. The garlic noodles were just okay and probably the best thing I had, but even then, they weren't memorable and definitely not worth the price. My husband ordered a burger that sounded great on paper--the ingredients made it seem delicious and worthwhile. Of course, I had to take a bite, and even he agreed with me that it was tasteless. The bacon was soft, the burger itself was nothing special, and despite being hungry, he couldn't dig into it like he normally would because it was so mediocre. Our server was nice but clearly inexperienced--flustered, disorganized, and forgetful (we asked for salt and it never came). Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place if you enjoy flavorful food or like trying new things. This feels like a restaurant for people who are comfortable ordering the same safe items every time and don't mind bland flavors. It's fine if you need a place to sit a large group, but beyond that, there's nothing here that would make me come back. I'd rather go to BJ's Brewhouse next time.

    Firecracker Shrimp
    Theresa C.

    Came in on a Friday evening and were told there would be about a 20-minute wait for two people, but we were seated in closer to 10 minutes, which was a nice surprise. The place was packed and had a lively vibe--if you've ever been to Black Tap at Disneyland, it felt similar in energy and atmosphere. For food, I ordered the ribeye with broccolini and mashed potatoes, and my husband got the cheesesteak sandwich. We also shared the firecracker shrimp appetizer. We originally wanted the hummus, but they were out of the pita bread and said it would only come with vegetables, so we decided to pass (hummus really needs pita). The firecracker shrimp was very good. The entrees did take a little longer than expected to come out, but once they arrived, everything tasted good. One thing I really appreciated was the service--they brought drink refills before we even asked, right as our cups were getting low. I had the dragon fruit lemonade, which I enjoyed, and my husband had a Coke. Overall, good food, great service, and a fun, busy atmosphere. I'd definitely come back and plan to try the jambalaya next time--I'll update this review when I do.

    How much do they pay bands?

    No bands

    Is there outdoor seating? I don't see that in the description - would be great if you made that clear. Thanks.

    Yes they do offer outdoor dining. If you have a dog it has to be a service animal. Hope that helps:)

    Do you have a private room for 12 people?

    Yes they do

    How busy are you at the bar prior to events at Golden One i.e concert or show?

    They are busy it gets packed very busy the whole place is full

    Does the food taste any good it looks like slop on the pictures and the portions are very very small I think I'll pass on this one am I wrong?

    It is standard chain/pub fair. I've enjoyed most of the meals I've had and I really LOVE the poke nachos. The portion size is decent. I'd say give it a try once and even ask the servers what they think of certain meals. If they're luke-warm on… 

    I dont need to make a reservation correct?

    Not at all. AND - if there's a wait, you can usually walk up to the bar and sit there.

    Is there a future possibility to order thru door dash, grub hub, etc?

    Hey Julie. We can't say for certain, but we'll pass your suggestion along to our team.

    Does Yard House offer brunch?

    Hey, Alfrieda! We do not offer our brunch anymore, but we do open at 11am and have brunch items on our regular menu, such as Nashville Hot Chicken, Avocado Toast, mimosas and bloody marys.

    Do we need a reservation for happy hour? Coworkers and I want to come, about 8 people.

    Although we didn't go during happy hour and did make reservations for our party of 8, the place is huge! You may not need a reservation but I played it safe because I didn't want to get turned away.

    Does Yardhouse use an app to show wait times?

    Yes

    Are you playing the NBA finals?

    Hey Amy! Yes, we will be.

    Can people under 18 go?

    Hey Tayha! Yes. People under 18 are welcome at our house.

    Is Yard House dog friendly?

    Hi there! We only allow task-oriented service animals.

    Do they have a separate area for large parties/reservstions?

    No. What you see in the building is the all the space they have

    How noisy is it during lunchtime?

    Why are you named Yard House? Silly question but had to ask anyways!

    Not a silly question at all! In fact, grab a drink and sit by the bar with us as we tell the tale of our origin story.… 

    What is the parking like in the area?

    Park at the multi level parking garage right next to Macy's on 3rd between J and L. It's $4 per hour but Yard House validates for 2 hours. (This garage is different from the small lot underneath Macy's off of L.)

    Do you guys validate parking if I park in parking garage?

    They give a QR voucher that's good for a few hrs

    Do you serve corona premier?

    Yes

    I'm excited to try this place! I see there is an outdoor area - can someone confirm they are dog friendly?! Thanks!!

    I don't know for certain but I would guess yes. There is plenty of room and everyone was super nice!

    I have friends in the Sacramento area that have always touted the concept of "farm to fork" in that…read morethe region's farms are the direct source for so many restaurants. We decided for our last night all together we would pick a highly rated one for a special meal. Magpie Cafe right in downtown fit the bill and we were thoroughly impressed by everything. We ordered just about every special plus many other dishes, some multiple, from appetizers through to desserts. It's in a beautiful area of the city, open to the street and green park. We opted to sit outside as it was a lovely evening. The beer menu had some regional favorites, all small and well chosen. For food we went all out, and I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Everything was so colorful and presented beautifully. Highlights were the pickles, fried asparagus, anchovies, and croquettes. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about our dishes, she added to the experience. If you're in the area, this restaurant is worth a stop. They even have a cafe in the airport!

    For my last supper in Sacramento, Sam and I went to Magpie. It's always on OPEN TABLE. We sat…read moreoutside, and the weather was perfect. We both had the strawberry lemon basil fizz. The drink contained gin, strawberry syrup, and fresh lemon basil. It was light and refreshing and the perfect spring summer drink. Then we had the baby eggplant which was marinated in a soy glaze. It also had some sort of peanut sauce base. This was a delightful bite. Both of us were very impressed. The presentation was gorgeous. Clearly still on my eggplant craze. One of the reasons we went to Magpie was for the trout dip. In a shocking turn of events, they didn't have it. I think it was an old menu. Maybe their winter menu. This was a bummer. Instead, they had a salmon dip. We got that, and I wish it was more flavorful/smokey. Normally, I'm not a smokey seasoning person, but I think it goes nicely with fish. The chips though were really good. I love a kettle chip. I thought they would be thicker, since the dip was thicker. I'm glad they served the dip with the spoon. We also had the stone fruit salad. I was shocked it didn't come with a cheese, but after I tasted it, the creamy yogurt successfully filled that void. Once again, the plating was gorgeous. I think the peaches were good, but I can tell that later in the summer, these peaches will be even more delectable. I think the pistachios were an excellent choice to this salad. For my main course, I had the painted hills flat iron steak with a Chimichurri sauce and crispy smashed potatoes. The steak was well cooked, and with the seasoning of the chimichurri, it was a delightful bite. Sam had the gnocchi with pesto and fresh tomatoes. The gnocchi was fluffy. Both she and I thought that the pesto was good, but we both wish that we wish there was more of it. I love pesto though, so I am always going to think that. It came in dollops, rather than mixed in, so I think that was part of the problem. We also had to get dessert. I had the ice cream sandwiches. They were made with lemon thyme shortbread cookies with vanilla Guenther's Ice Cream. I wish it was a stronger vanilla taste or a flavored ice cream. The cookies were too good though. Sam had the lavender panna cotta. Normally I am not a huge panna cotta fan, but this one was delicious. It had such a strong lavender taste, in a good way. It kind of tasted like I was eating lotion because of the thickness of the panna cotta with the lavender flavor.

The happy hour prices were reasonable and had so many great options. Can't say for certain about the parking situation because it was a close walk from our hotel. We ordered 2 mocktails, the watermelon sugar and basil berry fizz. Both drinks were super sugary and tart, which I ended up diluting with water. Still refreshing and tasty, but I think it was a bit overkill on sugar. For our mains, we tried the rigatoni bolognese, trio of fries, and chicken tenders. All food and drinks for under $50! The portions were massive, especially the trio of fries, which I was not expecting. The sweet potato fries were a bit soggy compared to the other 2, which were significantly crispier. The chicken tenders were ok and probably the least exciting thing we ordered haha. On the other hand, the bolognese was by far the standout! Flavorful, rich, creamy and the cheese pull from the pasta was to die for. Our server was super cool and patient with us, as it was our first time coming here. Totally recommend checking this place out with a group of friends to enjoy happy hour.

Our waitress was fantastic and gave a great tour of the menu as well as the dishes we ended up ordering. The food here is fantastic. So too are the drinks. Drink wise, I went for a tequila/mezcal based cocktail and it did not disappoint. The balance was impeccable. Later on in the meal, I had a nice glass of red wine which complimented the steak well. The food was the star of the show. Bone Marrow is one of those dishes you don't expect to be quite so rich, but it is amazing and worth the visit for. The fish was cooked perfectly and the mushrooms on the steak were delightful and earthy, as well as the steak being a tender, juicy medium rare. I will say the lobster paella was a little disappointing, I expected a little bit more from a nearly $100 dish. Not that it wasn't delicious, but it did not stand out nearly as much as the other dishes ordered. The tartar was a solid app, the oysters were delectable, the bread was toasty and hot with a generous side portion of creamy butter. By my book, service, ambiance, and FLAVOR, Ella is worth the visit.
