Great food and service. The selection of beer and cocktails is long. Make it a play date at the Yard House.Parking: Plenty of parking in the lots and ramps. It is harder to find spot during the busiest of times.Kid-friendliness: Not the best for kids due to the noise level

First, we arrived here by bicycle. Meaning we had to cross multiple intersections of highways and contend with cars (since this place is located in a glorified strip mall), to arrive to have to search around the block for somewhere to park our bikes. At the entrance, it was obvious we were to be presented with the opportunity to either sit inside or outside of the restaurant. There were two corners of the block to sit outside at, one adjacent to cars passing by, the other adjacent to several stores within the strip mall, each trying to play their own, different music over the top of one another, shopping center-style. So the decision to sit inside was clear.Inside looked like a classic American eatery, one identical to hundreds of other overly-spacious chain American eateries. The unique, memorable features of this place were a giant industrial fan that someone removed the logo from, and a creepy, abstract fresco-on-drywall in the far corner. All the tables and booths were decorated with a tablet that one could order their food electronically from. We sat in one of the booths.The menu contained exactly the food we expected it to have. Tacos, burgers, French fries, nothing unique at all except a blueberry ketchup burger that I ended up getting. When we ordered, the waiter asked if we wanted any appetizers and made a joke about wanting to make them themselves. When the appetizers that we ordered arrived, they looked not just overcooked, but like they'd been sitting for a while in a drawer to keep warm. And it worried me that perhaps the waiter did indeed prepare our appetizers how they joked they would, or rather that the appetizers weren't prepared (fresh) by someone whose specific job it was to prepare food.The blueberry ketchup burger that I ordered was similarly bad. The beef patty was very tough to eat, and in the moment it felt as though it might take my stomach acid much longer than anticipated to work its way through digesting it. The blueberry ketchup added nothing to the dish. I really thought the fries were good, but the waiter insisted on trying them with a malt vinegar aioli that tasted oddly like Ranch dressing.Some post-eating research on the restaurant led me to an article about Yard House's success as a national American chain, but its failure in capturing market share in China. Apparently, its Chinese competitor is one with the exact same name: Yard House. The article leaned heavily into how big of a failure it was to not breach the Chinese market, bordering on anti-Chinese sentiment with possible racist undertones.Overall, the experience reminded me of America's continuous inclination to destroy culture. It's bewildering to me that such a place as Yard House can exist, and with enough success to establish almost 90 locations across the US, when it gives such a miserable experience to people like myself.Overall, 5 stars. This is the quintessential American eatery.

Burger was a 3.5/5 the sauce saved the truffle burger. Service was alright for some reason bro kept pulling away the order device everytime he came idk whats that about we was trying to get desserts u feel me. Place is a vibe kinda cramped making u feel like u going thru a maze to get to ur seats. Over all it's a flat 4/5 if I do go again I would order something different.

Emilly has to be the worst person I've met in public let alone have as a bar tender. I asked what a tap beer was and was told its a brown ale like I should have known better. When I said I'll try that she made egh! noise and turned around to pour it. Put it on the bar and walked away. Other interactions were very rude and inconveniencing overall.

I am usually a fan of yard house, especially their apps. However, I got the nashville hot chicken this evening. There is literally no heat. I think it was made with only honey. I was expecting something with flavor and some actual heat. It was very bland and dry.
