Have been to several of these restaurants in Florida. All are consistently good. This one is no exception. The food and service were very good. We went on a weekday night for dinner. Was busy with a short wait. The menu is extensive with many options to satisfy even a picky appetite. Ordered the nacho platter with chicken. Excellent and enough for 2-3 persons to share. I had the Jambalaya entree and my wife had the orange chicken. Both served with rice, and delicious . The drinks and beer menu is extensive. They will give you a sample of a beer to try. They do beer fl I had the Hawaiian Longboat beer which I am familiar with. My wife ordered a pain killer, but it was not made properly. Only a few bars make a pain killer the right way. Place is noisier than average, but you can hear your table mates. Good for small groups. Not a "first date" place. Plenty of parking right outside. read more

Yard House - Chicken nachos - New American Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I've been to many different Yardhouse locations. This was my 2nd visit to this location in Sarasota. I have to say it's consistent between all. I compare it to Cheesecake Factory. The menu is huge and there is something available for everyone and anyone, including picky eaters! Always great for a large group. The service is always on point. This visit we were 3 and shared the Chicken Nacho Platter which is absolutely delicious! For dinner I had the Orange Chicken which is a favorite of mine. Yard House is open late which is always a plus. They have a huge bar and an extensive drink & beer menu. Lots of seating as well as a nice patio with heaters. The one thing I will mention about Yard House is that it is always noisy! Also, it's extremely noisy when sporting events are on the TV's! read more

Please be very careful when you pay your bill. My credit card got hacked while I was there. The charges while I was there have never showed up on my account, but later that night (5 1/2 hours later) my card was used across the street (University) at Buffalo Wild Wings ( and I have never been there), and two more charges were made the next day on my card on line. Called the manager and he said that there is nothing he can do about it and asked me what I expected him to do. Wouldn't even take time to research it. Please be safe and check your bill as soon as you pay. My advice is not to go there, I certainly won't. They are not trustworthy and don't care!!! read more

My experience was awesome here. Good food, good drinks, and great service! I have the lemon pepper wings and they were so crispy and seasoned well. I also had the Cobb salad with salmon and it was super good. The house beer selection is great. The restaurant is big and nice. Laid back. Overall i will return. read more

My family of 4 decided we'd dine in Yard house for dinner. Greeters are always nice and welcoming. We requested the booth. They sat us near the window. Space was nice and cozy. Our waitress Sam was exceptional! She was in her "A-game". From start to finish, she checked in on us, she made us feel like we were the only one customers being serviced. That's how in top of things she was. We ordered avocado toasts, chicken 2 platters of wings, pepperoni pizza, spaghetti, Cobb salad, 2 glasses mojitos, chocolate milk, and sweet tea. A few of the fried chicken wings were super chewy and seemed old. That was a bit disappointing for the cooks to bring something subpar out like that. Usually I'm extremely satisfied with my food. Hence, the 4 stars. Other than that, everything was good and everything went swimmingly. I wanted to shout out Jasmin as well, few weekends back, she served my family of 4 and did an amazing job. We appreciate yall. Keep up the good work ladies! read more

Never again i can't even begin to describe the food/service at this place. they didn't have the items on the menu, but didn't tell me until i had ordered the items and had been sitting, waiting for over 15 minutes. the food that was eventually served was cold and tasted bad. this experience was so unfortunate. read more

Came here on a Tuesday evening for dinner with friends. Parking was easy and the lot is right out front. We came inside and were seated right away in a booth in the bar area right away. The price is a little high for the alcohol, however the food is priced competitively for a main dish and side as well as appetizers. We ordered edemame and Miguel's queso was really good, especially the tortillas added with the chips for the queso. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was flavorful and the truffle fries were out of this world! Service was a little slow especially being after the dinner rush. The bathrooms were clean and there were plenty of stalls. Easy to locate as well. read more

Came based on good reviews. Unimpressed. Food looked and tasted good. Service was fine but a little slow for the amount of people there. Outside area was nice. Pretty sure I got a dirty coffee cup. Floors in the bathroom full of dirt. Not sure how the kitchen looks but pretty worried. Hope we don't get sick. read more

Had a great experience at this Yard House. We've been to at least 10 around the country. Every staff member we encountered was extremely professional. The beer was as good as always, and the food was 10/10. read more

Yard House never disappoints! The atmosphere is fun and energetic, and the service is always friendly and attentive. But the real star for me is the chicken lettuce wraps -- they are SO good! The chicken is flavorful, the sauce is perfect, and everything tastes fresh and delicious. read more

Had a so-so experience here. Positives- was able to get seated quickly even with a large party. Drinks were steadily refilled. Side salad is fresh and very large. Cons- one appetizer took forever to come out. The burgers were not good. Both a bacon cheeseburger and the appetizer sliders were not good. They tasted like a frozen ballpark burger. Flavorless and just ick. It's been years since I've been to a yard house, I don't anticipate on returning anytime soon unfortunately. read more

We came here for happy hour, which is always the best time to come to Yard House. Half priced apps and drink discounts make the delicious food a great value. We had the poke nachos and a couple of servings of the wings, all were fantastic. Our waiter was also impressive, he was friendly and had great info and recommendations for any beer we asked about. Would definitely come back! read more

Yard House - Truffle Cheese Parmesan Truffle FriesTruffle - New American Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I'm so sad to say I really did not have a good experience. And I drove 40 mins from st. Pete to dine in. I ordered the vampire tacos those weren't good, they are suppose to have cheese in them but the waiter told me the burnt chips at the bottom were " supposed to be " the cheese. My husband ordered nacho I tasted those and those were pretty good, then we ordered the bread pudding for dessert which wasn't good at all, it was broken apart all over the plate so presentation was terrible I still tasted it and no 0/10 .. honestly, I won't be back. read more

The Yard House is a very popular and successful chain restaurant. This location is new and very well set-up. They have large bar and seating areas. There are lots of staff to make your experience quite fun. I have tried a number of things and have enjoyed every one of them. Keep in mind that it's primarily upscale bar food but they do a really good job. They offer a HUGE selection of craft beers, a pretty decent wine list and a full bar of options. The outside area has Cornhole and covered tables. All in All, a really fantastic set-up. There can be a long wait for a table and at the typically busy times of day, there can even be a wait for a seat at the bar. Only because it's so popular. read more

I think Yard House is a very solid choice all around in you're around this mall. I went two days in a row because I was in from out of town meeting people and had such a positive experience the first time around. Service was excellent both times even though the place was raging and I had to wait about a half hour both times for a two-person table. They seemed to be well staffed and both servers weee very friendly and efficient. Beer list isn't a mile long. Went with IPA recommendations both times and was not disappointed. Loved that they had a lot of size choices for beer. Food was good and reasonably priced. Chicken sandwich the first night and it was a bit under-seasoned. Second night tried the steak bowl and thought it was great. Very fresh and light despite the steak. The place itself was welcoming and inviting. Lively party atmosphere with noise to match. I don't care about that but beware if you do. read more

Love going to Yard House, but today , the pizza was so dry that I just brought it home to fix. House salad was large and good. I don't recommend the pizza. read more

Excellent food great ambience great price. Don't miss this place when shopping at the mall in Sarasota will be back again.

Quick after work business mtg. Great spot with options for anyone and beers galore. We had sliders and wings. Pretty solid. Would go back. Can order off a kiosk at the table, not a fan. Don't like paying on it either. Forgot utensils for Togo dessert, staying in a hotel so kind of a big deal. read more

Yard House has yummy food and a GREAT beer selection but the best part about this place is the service! It is really loud inside but it's more of a fun party atmosphere than a date night place. We will definitely be back read more

This is by far the best happy hour in the area. Almost all apps are 1/2 off and they are all delicious (minus the cheese curds) pizza are bomb, best chicken nachos, poke nachos are good, wings good, brussel spouts are amazing, sliders are good, honestly I've never had anything I haven't liked. Beers are couple bucks off as well as mixed drinks. My favorite things to get when I'm not there for happy hour is the Cali Stack (it's my favorite thing on the menu) or the Nashville hott sandwich. Wide variety of beer, good food and always great service. read more

Delightfully great lunch at Yard House. We have been to a Yard House in Orlando, so this was our second time at this chain close to UTC Mall in Sarasota. It just recently opened and the parking lot was full. I checked in with the hostess and they said they would text me when the table was ready. There is no initial text as an FYI. So just verify when you give them your phone number, they got it right. We sat at a comfy booth and the restaurant is pretty spacious. Our server was ok. He didn't come back much after the order we gave him. We ordered the Cilantro Like Chicken with Cauliflower Rice and the Lobster Garlic Noodles. The latter was mine and I was very happy with the flavor and the amount of lobster and shrimp. My hubby enjoyed his Chicken a lot. It was a great lunch, & exactly the location where we wanted to be afterwards. They do have outdoor seating also and tons of tv screens if you want to catch a game. read more

We went to Yard House with another couple on Tuesday, February 25. While they do not take reservations, their wait list system works flawlessly. When we arrived there were other diners who walked in. When I checked in, we were out at the front of the line and seated quickly and they honored our request not to be put in a high top as a member of our group suffers from MS. Our server came out almost immediately to take drink orders. Even though the menu did not indicate a mango margarita was available, they were happy to make one. I enjoyed the ahi tuna tower appetizer as my dinner. My SO chose the pork chop dinner and really enjoyed it. Our friends ordered the 4 cheese grilled cheese with tomato bisque and her husband ordered BLT sandwich. He asked for the bacon to be made crisp and sadly they burned it. The manager took care of the cost on his sandwich on the bill. Honestly, except for the overcooked bacon, the rest of the meals were great. But our friend ate a LT sandwich (after removing the bacon) as it had gotten busy and our server got swamped. While they offered to remake his sandwich, the rest of us were done eating. read more

Alisha and deanthony were amazing I haven't had better service before at any bar, they helped me navigate the giant beer wall and let me taste the ciders so I got something I truly enjoyed. The food was fantastic, you can't go wrong with anything you order I got the pineapple chicken and my husband got the spicy beef noodles and both were delicious. read more

Perhaps if you're planning an Octoberfest, you may want to have enough product to offer your customers. This was the second year in a row that they didn't have 1 out of only 2 protein specials on their "OCTOBERFEST MENU". We were there for the Bratwurst Special, which for the second year in a row, they ran out of. This is unacceptable to me and we will not be going back. By the way, our server was great but expressed she was stressed due to this situation. They are the ones who get the complaints when it is the management who are failing read more

It's opening day, so I don't think its fair to judge and yet this opening dinner for us went smoothly. Our server was so sweet, he said we were his 3rd table of the day! This place was packed and had a 30 minute wait which was not bad, considering their online waitlist is not working. We figured the bar was a perfect spot to wait for our table. We were 100% correct. Plenty of smiling and friendly bartenders who were patient given the huge beer list, plus an awesome wine list. The wine pour was generous and the beer selection is a nice blend of craft and local brews. Stools are comfortable and the bar is easy for short folks to eat a meal. Enjoyed a couple of sips and we were messaged that our table was ready. There is a really nice array of booths the whole way around the restaurant. And a ton of high top tables along the inner corridor of the restaurant. There is some outside seating and play area. We are familiar with the food from their Orlando site, so we were totally looking forward to the wide range of options. I have to say, I truly appreciated the chicken tenders. Fresh and was told by the manager they are prepared and cooked to order. I could taste that they are made in-house and the truffle fries were also perfect with the tenders. Hubby went with a burger, that was too red for me, but he loved it. The kitchen needs to work on their temperature meter. Medium means pink in the middle, no red gushing. The onion rings could have been cooked a bit longer to get that crispy brown coating. The sauces were all good. Given this is the first day opened, they have done an amazing job with plenty of management working with the staff. Always a great sign of a well run establishment when staff is being helped by their leaders. Our server needed to be a bit more attentive, like refills of water, check on us when our food arrived, bring us the knife that was missing when our food was ordered, and be around when we were done, to check us out. All minor issues that with some experience, our server will definitely improve. Looking forward to visit soon. read more

Always great food until we got take out today. Hand breaded chicken tenders...1 decent tender and 5 bite size very hard crusty, meatless pieces. So disappointed. I love their chicken sandwich and salads w chicken. read more

AMAZING!!! I have always been a fan of Yard House and this new one does not disappoint. There was a 45 minute wait as it is still very new and it was happy hour. Finally found a spot at the bar and took a seat. While waiting you can play corn hole or just grab a beer and chill on the patio. With over 100 taps to choose from, come prepared! If you're a Bud Light kinda person, you won't be happy. However, if you enjoy great beers from around the world and craft beers this is the place. The menu had lots of choices from vegan to the meats. I ordered the Korean Ribeye and it came out perfectly cooked. The most impressive item was the Korean fries!! Still crispy even with the gochujang sauce. If you have never tried it, Rush over. The service was great even with almost 80 people seated at the bar. read more

After a rare trip to UTC mall & area we stopped at Yard House not knowing anything about the place we happened to hit at the right time Happy Hour !! Drafts are $2 off and certain appetizers are 1/2 off so perfect, I started with a cup of chicken tortilla soup which was very good , we also tried the Brussel sprouts uuummm and chicken nachos also a winner Our server was so congenial and informative she deserves 2 thumbs up !! We really lucked out when we got there the crowd was light but by the time we left there was a waiting list to get in so timing is crucial all the passing burgers and other food items looked enticing as well and the place has plenty of TV's and an upbeat current vibe !! Darden Restaurant group has come up with another winning concept we liked it and so will you read more
