I really like the Yard House. For a chain, it is one of the better ones and I like how many vegetarian friendly items they offer on the menu. Service has always been good here.

$25 dollars for this is criminal. Imagine my disappointment opening this to-go order up and seeing 4 burnt tuna turds, broccoli stems, and a rice portion smaller than the dressing container. Y'all should be ashamed. The only reason why it got 2 stars is because it tasted good.

It just blows me away that this chain is owned by the same company as Olive Garden when the food is not even in the same hemisphere. They are easily my favorite chain restaurant and the one we frequent most often. Olive Garden it is NOT. I think the one and only complaint about YH can be the wait at times. Don 't go at 6:30 on a Friday night expecting to be seated in under 15 minutes. But hey if a place is this popular, it 's for good reason. I 'll probably have three photos up of the seared ahi tuna sandwich, DONT CARE, I 'll post it 100 times if I need to. I don 't know what it is about the tuna here but the ahi nachos are a must go to also, they do fishy very very well. My only issue with the food here and it isn 't even mine personally is that my son is not a big fan of the mac n cheese on the kid 's menu. Why? Because it 's TOO flavorful. My wife and I end up eating over half of it, a three cheese blend and I can taste a hint of garlic. It 's very delicious and not something a toddler is used to. Oh, and always upgrade to the truffle fries. I don 't care if they increase the price to $5 per order, there is no other way to do it here and don 't even me about it. Where to start about the beer selection. If you like it, they probably have it. The tap room itself is usually on display and man is it glorious. Get up and walk around sometime. Look up. Look behind the glass where all the kegs lie, it is truly a sight to behold even if you 're not a drinker. And yes, you can get a yard glass, they even give you the background history on how they came to be in the lobby (I won 't ruin it here). For ambiance, you 're always greeted with your favorite 80s and 90s groups and some TV 's carry the music videos, they know how to get to my demographic well. YH isn 't over the top or campy like a lot of other chains can be, simply trying too hard. The place is just fabulous, and I hope it can stay consistent for decades, staying insanely busy at all hours of the day.

Since my last gathering at yard house I would like to go ahead and update my review. This place is a solid spot for a drink and an app. I specialize in the tacos vampire style with an ice cold Maine lunch. Don't do anything crazy here, I don't think the chefs are top of the line. Decent vibes for a Sunday football game.

Pat must have been bartending her whole life. One of my favorite parts of writing this review is recognizing the employees who go above and beyond to make the establishment special. While I was waiting for a table, I decided to grab a drink at the bar, where I met Pat. She immediately placed menus in front of us, asked what we needed, and served my drink quickly and efficiently. I loved how she wrote her name on the coaster after introducing herself, which added a personal touch to the experience. Even after I was seated, I chose to get all my drinks from her because she clearly knows what she’s doing. The staff there is fantastic; they really shine. As for the food, it was quite good—my salmon was delicious, though the chicken was a bit dry. I also prefer regular broccoli crowns; the broccoli served felt more like a garnish than a side.
