    Beer Battered Fish and Chips, and Lobster Garlic Noodles
    Audrey L.

    Fantastic experience! My partner and I went before going to a concert in Seattle and were there for an early dinner. The place was pretty empty, but not dead. There were various sports games on different tvs above the bar, and the whole place was a little dark, but overall, clean and modern. Our server was super nice and fun to talk to, and had great recommendations for beer and food. I don't drink but my partner really liked his beer, and there was no shortage of options to choose from. The fish and chips were crisp and light, not super greasy, and the lobster garlic noodles were maybe the best pasta I've ever had at a restaurant. I was genuinely so happy with the quality and amount of food for the price.

    We always have a great time at Yard House, especially with their super fun half yard-sized beers. Their menu has just about everything on it from burgers to poke salad, and it all tastes great. The wings are decent, but our favorite app is the brussel sprouts. It can get a little loud being a sports bar, but other than that I don't think it's possible to have a bad time here

    The atmosphere was wonderful! The entrées were good. Ordered simple chips and guac for an app. The chips were burnt and should've been sent back. Six people at the table and we didn't even finish. and, Josh, our server, was full of personality and perhaps overwhelmed, but after he took our order and delivered our drinks, we never saw him again. Until it was time to pay the bill. And myself and others in our party we're sad to have given him a 20% tip.

    There was a bit of a wait when we arrived, but with homecoming going on and the Mariners game playing on the TVs, it was completely understandable. Once we were seated, we were greeted by Nile, who was friendly, funny, and really knew the menu well enough to help answer any questions we had. We shared a few laughs with her throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere was cozy and surprisingly romantic, especially considering how many TVs were around. We were seated in a great spot, quiet enough to talk comfortably but close enough for me to catch glimpses of the game. We started with the firecracker shrimp, which came with a rice cake on the bottom, something I'd never tried before but really enjoyed. My wife went with the Shiitake garlic noodles, and I ordered the Nashville hot chicken. Both were delicious, though I would've liked mine a little spicier. It would have been nice if they offered different heat levels. Overall, we had a great time. The food was solid, the vibe was perfect, and Nile's great service really stood out. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

    A fantastic restaurant downtown with a lively atmosphere and fantastic service! The food is always great and the drinks expertly crafted. The chicken tenders, sliders, and Cobb salad are my go to's here along with Old Fashioned's.

    Stopped by Yardhouse on 4th Ave in Seattle for my birthday, and it was such a great pick. We tried a couple local beers, which were really good. For food, my partner had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with house fries, and I went for the Nashville hot chicken and sweet potato pancakes - they both were absolutely delicious. The pancakes had a hint of cinnamon, the Nashville hot chicken was juicy, and the honey hot sauce with pickles and ranch was great. The best part was when our bar server noticed it was my birthday when she checked for our IDs and surprised me with an Oreo brookie with vanilla icecream at the end of our meal. It came with a candle and happy birthday written on the plate. That definitely was a sweet touch and really made my day. This was my third time at Yardhouse, and it's consistently been a fun spot with great food and drinks. We didn't have a reservation and were able to sit at the bar quickly, which was super convenient. If you're celebrating something or just want a casual spot with friends or family, I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

    Came here on an annual weekend trip for week 3 of the Seahawks game. Love how Seattle has so many great places to eat and drink. Both franchised, local mom and pop shops etc. my group stayed at a hotel nearby, and yelped some spots for lunch, not realizing that as many times as I've stayed downtown; never noticed the Yard House on 4th street. Great location and close to our hotel as well as Pike's place market. Upon entrance we were greeted and seated right away. Huge round signature bar like all the other Yard Houses I've been to. Great vibes and prompt service. We did a couple rounds of beers with our food. Everyone ordered something different and all of us were satisfied with the quality. I ordered their BBQ bacon cheeseburger with fries and it didn't disappoint. Wouldn't hesitate to come back here in the future!

    Its been years since I worked dt & visited the Yard House! Coming in during a football Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, the mood was festive & spirited, to say the least. However just like I remember - busy vibe, make a reservation (or if you walk in, you may need to wait awhile but it goes quickly!) We sat in the bar area and even though we were in an intimate setting, watching the game while catching up was an ease. We came just for drinks, which were the sangria and the old 43 - both drinks, we couldn't complain. Our server was attentive and checked on us often despite the busy vibe of the place, which was surprising yet well received:)

    Cobb Salad with Blackened Chicken.
    Will B.

    The restaurant offers a wide range of dishes, drawing inspiration from American cuisine with fusion elements. This is my second time visiting The Yard House 1501 4th Ave, Seattle,Wa 98101. I find this location to be lively and welcoming. It has a nice vibe with friendly staff. To start off with apps, we ordered the Poke Nachos, didn't know that was a thing, I have to say that they were amazing. Comes with marinated raw ahi, crispy wontons, avocado, serranos, white truffle sauce, sweet soy ginger sauce, sriracha aïoli, cilantro, green onions, nori, and sesame seeds. The small plates brought to the table had what appeared to be pieces of avocado on them, I asked the gentleman who brought out the food if he could replace them. He chose to try sort through them it find a clean one. All three had stuff on them. I had to inform him that they are all dirty and to please replace them. I ordered the Cobb Salad, our server asked if I'd like a protein, of my two options of chicken, I chose the Blackened chicken. I recommend that you don't, the piece I was served was of ample size, yay. The down side was that it was inedible, one bit of and I knew I couldn't eat it. It tasted burnt, was dry and clearly was prepared in advance. I informed Jesse how bad it was and he made all the efforts to rectify the issue, he removed it from the bill. The rest of the meal and service was fine, I found that the section we were seated to be very dark, loud and slightly cramped. The folks leaving their booth were right upon me, I was bumped, grazed as they were passing to exit. If the place was packed I could understand. Overall, I had a good time at Yard House, its location is prime for a sit down meal or drink. Perfect for folks doing the tourist attractions. It's a couple of minutes walk to Pike Place Market.

    Very loud and extremely packed. The atmosphere was one of controlled chaos. Food was okay, service was perfunctory and brusque bordering on rude. They have an impressive beer collection and decent appetizers. Pretty average dining experience.

    First time visit. Heading to an event at Paramount Theater. Waiter was fun and engaging and gave us some excellent recommendations for appetizers. I highly recommend the Chicken Nachos! I had. House Hazy IPA which was excellent. Another table member had a Peach Cider which was sweet, bubbly and very good. I love the bar with at least 30+taps(?) so plenty of choices to go around. I highly recommend Yard House. Great food, drinks and awesome ambience (it is louder than average for sure)!

    Nachos
    Sonia S.

    Came here with a friend for cocktails and nachos. They have a good bar menu with plenty of drinks to choose from. I love the nachos because they are pretty big with a good variation of toppings. You could easily feed 2-4 people without the need for other food. The service however, is lacking. Pretty slow and inattentive. After finishing our food and drinks we paid on the kiosk at the table and left. Ambiance is kind of like a big sports bar. Dark, lots of TV's. Good place to watch sports. I would come back...but just don't expect great service.

    Do they have the game audio on for Seahawks games?

    Yes, but the crowd makes it unintelligible

    Is this 21+ only?

    No. They have a kids menu on their website

    Is dog allowed here?

    Doubtful, as I've never seen one in here. This is a higher end place that gets VERY crowded after work. You can call and ask... Even if they did allow though, it would be unwise to take them here unless you like risking your dog's well being.

It's nice to watch the staff cook because it tells you that the food is fresh. I have high expectations for seafood in Seattle.

I'm not a scallop expert but this one missed the mark - the flavors were off with the sauce (tasted earthy). Presentation and color looked good, but this didn't taste good. Also came here breakfast several times. I don't have pictures, but each time the breakfast was amazing!

The service here is extremely friendly. I was speaking with Hannah about what I wanted in my flight and shared my wish list. Based on that, she chose 4 esoteric bottles that each had their own characteristics that would be interesting to compare against one another. My flight consisted of the Pappy Van Winkle 23 years, Colonel EH Taylor Distiller's Council, Very Olde St. Nick Superfreak, and Wild Turkey Austin Nichols 16 years. It was super nice trying all of these rare bottles that I wouldn't even be able to find, and they were all interesting and delicious! The food here is also fantastic.

The steak was cooked perfectly and extremely tender with a great beefy flavor. I love a good french fry and these were fresh and crispy. The pork belly was tender and fatty but the fat was nicely rendered so it wasn't chewy.

I noticed Vince U did not take a picture of the lamb, which was about the size of a half-dollar coin, if anyone remembers what those are LOL. Yes the two bites of lamb was decent but nothing to write home about. Agreed, the Risotto was very delicious indeed, salmon was great, chocolate desert was very, very good, otherwise the rest was OK. But I wouldn't agree to understanding the assignment, for us. I had the wine flight and I love a good wine. These were all OK wines. I get it, you have to watch your costs and make a good profit, to which I totally agree. I wish we would have tried Violet our first time for the regular menu. I'm guessing we would have rated 4 or 5 stars more than likely. For a bill of $400+ (including a great tip because we love to support) we felt like we were almost ripped off. I get it, it's a special occasion and lots of work goes in to these things but walking out of there $400+ poorer really made us feel bad, from a value perspective. We never mind paying for value, but this was not it and did not hit the mark for us.
