    Spicy Jambalaya with noddles
    Kyla G.

    The ahi tuna nachos my sister loved. My jambalaya was not tasty lacked seasoning sent back. Had the pepperoni pizza was good. Service was ok little slow. Place had a heavy wait time and didn't call to say it's your turn instead sent a text saying ur removed from the list.

    Flight of beer
    Taryn C.

    I'm not going to lie, I've been to Yard Houses before but this one is the best one I've been to. They handled a busy waitlist amazingly with their text system and estimates being very accurate. They have a great upstairs area which was perfect for the evening. The bar was busy but rightfully so. The food was delicious and I loved the flight of beer that I had. They were local brews that tasted awesome! Would definitely recommend to anyone.

    Fried Calamari
    Justin P.

    Mannnnn Yardhouse tried it lol. I'm from NYC so it was my first time visiting this location, love the one at home, food is always banging. But I got disappointed this time. I ordered some Togo food. Ordered the Jambalaya and some Calamari. When they brought the food, the Jambalaya was on top of the Calamari and after some contemplating I think I know why. I've ordered Calamari many times and never was the portion this small. $16 for this?!? The kitchen definitely hid this on purpose and I hate myself for not checking the food like I normally do smh. Yardhouse I love you but do better

    This was my first time at Yard House and will certainly be my last at this location. I came with a coworker during our lunch today. We sat at the bar and placed our orders. It wasn't packed at all, but it still took over 20 minutes for anything to come out (our food came out before our drinks), and I think it's only because the manager came to check on us. I ordered traditional wings, but I received boneless. When I told our server, Tenai, there was no apology or remorse, just a look at the receipt saying it said traditional. The wings were decent, but not what I wanted, but I had to take them due to time. My coworker asked for some garlic aioli sauce to go, and even that was met with a sigh, like she was being asked for so much. When we asked for the check, I was still being charged for the traditional wings. This should have been rectified way before us getting the check. It was eventually fixed, but good customer service is severely lacking at the bar.

    Poke Nachos

    Their happy hour deals are really great but it can get pretty busy and take a while to get service. I got the poke nachos which were delicious. I'll definitely be back for happy hour again.

    Midnight sangria (red wine + remy)
    Donyiel C.

    Good for big groups! Over the last few months I've been in for happy hour with at least 10 and they were able to easily accommodate us. The happy hour specials are good. Not many happy hours around these days so it's nice to see this place thriving! I recently had the midnight sangria (red wine + remy). I only had one! It was nice and strong! Select apps are 50% off. I tried the sliders - comes with 4 and a side of fries. Definitely a great deal. I couldn't even finish them all. Our two servers were great. I only remember Naimah's name, but thank you both for your great service. It's so easy to pay on the app with the split check!

    The food here is always on point, lots of iption to choose from , about everything on the menu is good

    I've been here numerous times and its typically for happy hour and then other times it's very late at night. One important note is that there is no happy hour on game nights across the way at the arena and that's a shame. That's reason for one automatic star loss. There's mad events at Capital One Arena and for them to just cancel happy hour because something is happening down the street is nasty corporate America work. Now on to the food. It's always pretty good. I've never had a bad experience here. The bartenders are normally very engaging so that brings up the experience. Always try to get a seat at the bar because it's the most interesting. Table experiences remind you of just a regular casual dining experience.

    Crispy Traditional Wings - Buffalo
    Guillermo G.

    Fun atmosphere. Great beer and food. We enjoyed the Firecracker Shrimp, Buffalo Wings, and of course, the 20oz Bone-in Ribeye was fantastic.

    We were able to snag a table for two on a Thursday night. The service was a bust - the waitress seemed to be distracted and it took her quite a while to come around to take our orders (we were sharing apps and later learned we could've just done it ourselves on the tablet that was on the table). We shared the onion ring tower, queso dip, boneless wings and fries. My thoughts: Onion ring tower: came with two sauces, one of them was supposed to ranch but it was a bit flavorless. The onion rings had a nice batter and the portion could easily be shared with a bigger party. The boneless wings are fries were decent, nothing noteworthy. The wings did come with the same flavorless ranch sauce as the onion rings. The queso dip was a huge portion, could also be shared with a bigger party. It came with both chips and tortillas which was completely unexpected. The dip was the star of the show for me it terms of appetizers. It had a great flavor.

    Queso dip
    Chris T.

    We came here for a quick bite before we headed out to the game. We didn't have a wait time and the staff got us seated fairly quickly. The ambiance was yard house, since they are a chain restaurant. Our waitress was busy between us and a few other tables and the bar took awhile to make our drinks. Moving along to the food I wish we knew we could order our food sooner, we could've saved our waitress some time by putting the app orders in (which is all we ate) besides a side of fries. The queso dip was great of course and dipping the fries in there was also a good mix. The buffalo wings were absolutely tossed in the sauce and you could taste the heat of the buffalo. The onion ring tower was a hit as always because they were battered so well with that little chipotle sauce. Now the pineapple spritz drink was not that good as far as comparing to other hard houses I've been too. So that was disappointing. All in all, we got a lot of food pretty quickly and the price was good.

    Came here with coworkers during a conference last week and still think about some of the appetizers! The cornbread was absolutely delicious and the deviled eggs were as well. The winter beer was outstanding and everyone enjoyed their entrées. It was really crowded with a private event, but we were able to be seated at a snug table pretty quickly. Our server was fantastic and the ambience was perfect.

    Soooo.... we lucked up and it was restaurant week in DC and this is where we stopped for lunch. You know how it goes, one price for three courses and it was worth it. The server and the restaurant was a whole vibe. Super friendly and extremely helpful. Really enjoyed the food dishes. Went with a friend so we ordered different foods to try it out and nothing disappointed.

If you do anything when you go, please make sure to get the biscuits. Hands down THE BEST BISCUITS I've ever had lol. They are the most flaky and buttery biscuits, you can count each layer that these have. Pro tip is to ask for butter and the house made jam. The pimento cheese is good with them but it becomes a little too decadent. Overall I'm happy we made the decision to come here, we will be back soon.

Thankfully we ended up at the Unconventional Diner and it was perfect for satisfying everyone in the group!! We were all able to get tasty drinks- from n/a Hibiscus Citrus lemonade, white wine, a cinnamon toast old fashioned (what? A cereal inspired old fashioned, yes please and it was fantastic!), and a Bourbon basil smash. Then the crew settled on some food-the waiter was patient with the questions and contemplation from the table (thank you!). We started with the SKILLET CORNBREAD with Habanero Honey Butter | Sea Salt (v) And that was melt in your mouth cornbread. Damn. Real cornbread seems hard to come by any more and this is the real deal. And the honey butter and flake sea salt-can't go wrong. I'm a spice weeny-for reals-and this was incredible. It's a MUST get. Across the table we had two of the double cheese burgers (I warned, we have a lack of adventurous eaters) -and they both said the burgers were the best they've had. I had the Philly French double dip, with horseradish cream and caramelized onions-so fantastic-the roast beef was melt in your mouth and the broth was the perfect saltiness. Our fourth got the fried chicken sandwich and really loved the dill pickle slaw that came with it, and the chicken was not over cooked and not raw-perfect! We all had fries with our meals, the thinner kind with light seasoning and none of us could stop eating them, even when we were clearly full, the fries just kept disappearing.

That kind of genuine expertise is rare. The tavern pizzas from the wood-fired oven were a wonderful surprise -- thin, crispy, and the perfect companion to a cold draft.

Great for a date, a group, or even just sitting at the bar solo with a good beer and good conversation with the bartender.

I was asked how far I had to travel and the person taking my order said she will separate portions so it will travel better. Thank you. It is that little extra that goes a long way. This time I went with the Capital Burger to go along with some key lime pie to nibble on later. Great service and great food. There are plenty of good burger places but if you are a burger fan then definitely check this place out. Absolutely no disappointment. For a true high end burger experience I have no problem giving this place a solid five stars.
