Yard House

Amazing duck wings! You must try them. Food is always hot and delicious. More then enough beers to try. Can’t say enough good things about this restaurant.

I have never had anything I didnt like or have a bad experience here. I must say the service is what makes this location stand out. Servers are friendly and very informative. Great place for happy hour food to snack on or enjoy a full meal.

I had an issue but the staff immediately took care of me. The food is always amazing and most of the staff is very nice and accommodating.

This was my first time coming to this location. I’ve been to the one in ft lauderdale and always good. I came here recently with a bunch of friends on a Saturday evening. We were a party of 6 and when we put our name down we were told 25 – 30 minutes and we excepted that and waited. Well an hour goes by and nothing like we were forgotten. So I went to inquire about the «false timeframe» we were told and the lady says well basically nothing we can do because we have a party of about 150 football players taking up half the place. I said well you should have told us the wait is over an hour and not 30 to wait. After 1.30 minutes of waiting we finally we’re seated. Once we sit the waiter was so busy he could hardly tend to our table. Waited such a long time for everything to come including empty drinks all nite. I will give 2 stars because the food was good when it finally arrived. The staff needs to get their crap together and not mislead a party with an unrealistic wait time when they are aware how busy it is. More waitstaff for a busy Saturday nite would be good too. Will I come back here? Not sure at this time

When I first moved to Florida, this was one of the first places I added to my list of go to eateries. Now over 2 years later the love affair seems to be over.
What was once a great casual place to get large portions of really good food and fast service is just a memory of its former self.
Last 3 visits have been marked with friendly but terribly slow service. Mostly due to the slowness of the kitchen and bar to be honest. Food regularly arrived room temp or cold. They’ve removed favorite staple menu items and have consistently raised price to the point now that it costs over $ 60 for a lunch for 2.
Sadly I don’t really see any reason to keep going here other than their really great selection of beer.

Honestly I’ve been here twice and both times my experience was a joke. The first time I went with my boyfriend we sat outside and it took our server 15 mins to come over and greet us but never took our drink order. Then when he finally got back around to us he took our entire order, food, drinks, appetizers. We got our dinner, then our appetizer right after, and finally 25 mins later our drinks. The second time my food was disgusting and my service was once again poor. I will not be returning.

Came with friends for cocktails and apps during HH. Lets start with the good: Beautiful setting, nice server, comfortable booth, reasonably priced and delicious apps. We sampled the onion ring tower, mushu egg rolls, margarita pizza, chicken lettuce wraps and voodoo tacos. All were really good.
The bad: Cocktails were awful. Old fashions were so watered down and loaded with crushed iced we had to supplement with shots to even make drinkable. Was really disappointed because this was my friends first old fashion. His wife’s vodka martini was so bad that it was not drinkable. Basically vodka with crushed ice. Discovered they did not even add vermouth. After sending two back she gave up and had a mediocre gin and tonic. The Cosmo drinker also said it was watered down and not good. My friend tried a beer on tap and really liked it.
Bottom line: Stay away from the cocktails and drink beer or wine.

We visited Yardhouse for dinner while staying at Deerfield Beach with some friends around New Years. We were a party of 6 and it was an hour long wait. We walked to another bar for drinks while we waited. Once we were seated, the service was quick. They do have gluten free options marked clearly. I ordered a Porcini Crusted Halibut while H. got Blackened Swordfish Tacos and we shared both. Both dishes were good. My friend ordered jambalaya which to my surprise was not gluten free. He seemed to like it too. Everybody loved the truffle fries and their Moscow Mule is quite good too!
All in all good experience and fun times.

Three of us came here for lunch/​dinner Sunday night around 4PM. When we got there it was LOUD! Apparently there was some kind of game on and you had a bunch of grown men yelling at the top of their lungs every few minutes. Luckily for us the game ended soon after we got there and the place was left pretty empty.
We ordered an appetizer of calamari which was ok. Not the best I’ve had not the worst. Plus we ordered our food which was 2 hamburgers and a soup and sandwich combo. This is where things take a turn for the worse.
It took about ONE HOUR to get 2 hamburgers and a soup and sandwich which is just unacceptable in my opinion. The waitress never once came by to apologize or say she was going to check on our food, nothing.
The food was ok, not amazing, I would say the burgers were equivalent to any other chain restaurant like a Chilis or something. We only came here because it was close to a store we wanted to go to after but it ended up taking so long we never went to the store and just ended up going home after. We would not come back here.

I’ve been here twice and both times really unimpressed. I had tuna one time — which I feel was not fresh. And street tacos, which were just awful. The meat was so tough and fatty. It seems dirty by the bar and smells like mildew. I will not be back.

Love coming here for lunch with my girlfriends. Perfect place for a glass of wine and a delish appetizer.
The California roll is amazing. I crave it everyday. It’s an addiction. If your a sushi and seafood lover, definitely make it your go to. Perfect place for large parties or just to bring family and friends who are in town.

Happy hour with friends was a good idea however the service and food was definitely not worth it. The waitress let us try a couple samples of some of the on tap beers, however she said we were only allowed to taste two. Which was unfortunate, because there were a few different craft beers I was interested in to try but didn’t want to order them if I didn’t like them. So I stuck with my trusty pineapple cider. We also ordered a couple apps to share. The fried calamari wasn’t great, a fairly skimpy portion for the price and not really cooked well. It was kind of chewy and rubbery. Not what I’m looking for in my calamari at all. We also got the queso dip and chicken nachos. The nachos and calamari came out together since we ordered them at the same time and the queso later since we were hungry after finishing the first two apps. Unfortunately the chicken was bone dry and way over cooked on the nachos and the queso dip took 40 min to come out and when we eventually got our order, it was cold. The waitress was slow as molasses from the get go leaving us hanging when we wanted to initially order food and drinks and at the end. At first we had to wait 30 minutes just to place our drink order, then another waitress finally came over to bring us our drinks. Having an absent waitress definitely caused problems for happy hour because she never came back to our table so we couldn’t order more happy hour drinks until a minute before it was over. Then she said since we hadn’t finish half of our drinks we were allowed to order more. Ummm, okay… so we had to chug our drinks to order more.
The best thing about this place was the craft beer selection of you know what you want. The happy hour prices weren’t that impressive and I wouldn’t venture back even for happy hour.

It pains me to write this review… Before I get to why I negatively slammed the Boca Yard House let’s talk about the positives.
For if you have never been to a Yard House then you need to know the general concept, décor, feel, and Menu couldn’t be better. In fact It’s one of my favorite places to go outside of high end food (steak houses, etc…). How many times my friends have dragged me for «bar food». One semi decent burger or fried chicken finger/​wing after another but not at the Yard House. Simply put, it shames the likes of Ale Houses.
They have taken one of the best selections of Craft Beers and paired it so perfectly with Gastropub quality food. The menu is original and district and with the exception of my visit to the Boca Raton location, the food is cooked to perfection. In fact if food didn’t cause weight gains I would visit Yard House almost daily. I love Craft Beer, and I love real food that is rich in flavor and deep in complexity, simply put I love the Yard House.
So why 2 stars? I normally visit the Palm Beach Gardens location. I have NEVER had anything less than an exceptional experience there. So when I was visiting family in Boca I took them proudly to the Boca location expecting to blow their minds with great food and beer. The wait staff could not give any less care about us if it were possible. While she at no point was ever rude, she also was very busy and didn’t mind letting us know that both in delays and verbal queues. The beers took far too long to come to our table, and the food wasn’t must different.
All of that I can get past, the problem started when my Nashville Chicken (which BTW is typically mind blowingly good) came out. First, half of it wasn’t even dressed in the hot sauce, this was a very visual thing that the kitchen (if they cared) could have caught as a warning sign of «rushed food». The middle of the chicken wasn’t cooked. I had to spit it out in the plate when I got to the thickest part. When I told the server she didn’t say much, didn’t ask if I would like another, just when the check came to say she took it off and the manager would be coming to speak with us.
Well guess what, the manager never visited us. That’s the real problem with this location. From what I can tell Management isn’t leading. I saw the manager rushing past plenty with plates of food instead of staffing correctly, or keeping an eye on the kitchen, he was part of the problem of rushing food to tables. I am absolutely discussed by the fact he didn’t visit us to apologize. Raw chicken is no joking matter.
So there you have it, I have only been to that location once (and never again) so I can’t tell if it was just that one bad day but from the behavior I observed of the managers I think it may be an ongoing issue which I hope they can resolve because as I stated above I love Yard Houses!

You mean I don’t have to hungrily munch on oily fries (the only bar food typically available to vegans) while my friends lick their fingers in satisfaction after plates of boneless buffalo wings, chicken strips, mac & cheese, BBQ chicken salads, grilled chicken sandwiches– What’s that? Why, YES, those are all MEAT-​FREE options at Yard House. So now you too can eat yummy bar food with your beer or cider when you don’t want to consume meat.
I’m a fan simply because this bar has so many vegan/​vegetarian options for a bar (albeit a very fancy bar as is naturally required in Boca).

I actually find it odd that I haven’t reviewed this place before since I have been here dozens of times. I love the huge bar seating and the fact that they literally have about 100 beers on tap along with a regular rotation of excellent craft beers.
I sometimes get one of the great salads but often I get a Gardein (grain meat) entrée even though I’m not a fan of soy. Overall I think their food is about a 3−½ but I really enjoy the atmosphere and craft beers so I comfortably bring it up to a solid four stars.
If you want to go nuts and don’t eat a plant based diet like me go order the pot pie and just see if you can manage to eat even half of it. It’s a massive plate about 12 inches in diameter and about 4 inches high. It can’t really be less than 2500 calories so plan on a 2 hour treadmill experience the next day.
See how I went off in a tangent well the menu is so big that you’ll like go off on many before you decide on what beer and what meal you’re putting in your mouth.

This place reminds me of half New York loft and half San Francisco firehouse. The whole place is brushed aluminum décor and kind of chic, yet trendy and upscale. There are a ton of booths and beer taps and it makes you feel very clean. This makes mama happy.
The bartender here indulged me when I was being my typical wine snob self and let me look at the bottle of what I thought I wanted even though I was ordering a GLASS of wine. I read labels to see the quality and stuff, the description a restaurant or bar gives doesn’t tell me anything, so I like that he let me be me and then order. This earned him a big tip.
The excessive amount of beer taps here goes a long way with the gentlemen. There was an obvious bachelor party next to me that was making their way through all of them, because they were counting. I’m not sure how many there are, but they chugged and slammed down «NUMBER ELEVEN!!!» and then said «ONTO THE NEXT BARKEEP!» which I found entertaining in my Chardonnay haze happiness.
I haven’t eaten here, only indulged in adult beverages. However, it seems like the noms here are above your average greasy bar food and reach that status of «wow, I would actually eat this sober». The stuff that I saw the waitresses serving looked like the kind of stuff that might come on a cooking show-​well plated and smelling delish. I really wanted to order something TBH but was on my way to iPic and figured I would save it.
Will totally come back here-​love the service, want to try the food and can’t beat the mood lighting. Also I like the fact that I still get carded here-​makes me feel like a college kid again ;)

This place is top notch. Great service and menu. The hostesses were welcoming and friendly. That is a big thing to me, when customers enters an establishment, they should be warmly greeted. It’s great that you could grab a bite and some drinks before going to the iPic across the street. My husband and I are quickly becoming regulars here.
I recommend the truffle fries and coconut shrimp.

Oh, Yard House. The service seems to lack at every location I go to. The servers are always so nice but they work with no sense of urgency.
So I happen to be in Mizner Park yesterday and once I walked by Yard House, I knew this is where I was going to be enjoying dinner for the night. They are located on the corner near the iPic theater. I thought we were going to have to wait for a table but we were immediately seated. The hostess told the other hostess a high table by the bar to walk us to but when we get there, there was another couple sitting there so she sat us at a booth for the inconvenience. This booth was easily the largest booth I have seen. It can seat at least 5 people on each side.
Our waiter came by and introduced himself. When I asked about a particular beer, he said it was really good and delicious. I asked for another drink suggestion that would taste similar and he replied «oh I don’t like beer so I wouldn’t know». Didn’t he just say a beer was good & delicious when I asked? That was weird. Either way, I ordered and I finally decided to order the Guac and chips because I hesitated last time due to Unilocal comments about them. They are actually not that bad! You shouldn’t be expecting this guac to be super flavorful as compared to a mexican spot but it is enjoyable. Another weird thing is when I got my refill for my beer, I asked the waiter if he wanted my empty cup and he said «no not really». This waiter wasn’t waiting our table so I guess he was just doing the flavor of bringing the drink over to me.
I ordered sliders, my boyfriend a bacon cheeseburger, and my friend ordered the four-​cheese pizza. We all pretty much enjoyed the food and the environment. This location isn’t as busy as Gulfstream or Lincoln Road which I appreciated. I was sitting in this location for over 2 hours. Food took long, refills took long, even our desserts took long. My friend said every time she comes to Yard House, this is always the service. I really like their food, drinks, and environment but the servers aren’t as tentative as I believe they should be. I shouldn’t have been in there for over 2 hours. There was a wait of people at the exit that could have been seated if they checked in on people often to get them out faster.
Either way, make sure you get the mini crème brûlée for dessert & if you don’t want to drink as much, they have a smaller cup referred to as «shortys». Their food is good, ambience of a high end bar with large screens everywhere, and the servers are always usually nice. I’ll be back to visit, I just know not to have plans after as it might take long to leave.

Delicious truffle cheeseburger but the size of a fricken slider. Really? Food inflation?
The mashed potatoes? I hate to say it, but the worst I’ve had anywhere. Same quality and flavor as those boxes chemical quasi-​potato flakes. Yukkk
Oh, the draft beer was awesome and service was great. And nice cool Boca breeze.

Met up with a friend from Unilocal in Mizner Park and chose this place to eat. Love the atmosphere, the bar made me go oooo and ahhhh even though I don’t drink lol. It kinda reminds me of Finding Nemo since there were so many bright colors in the dimmed restaurant lighting. Apparently they have a great section of beer, it sure looked like it to me!
The menu is kinda overwhelming lol a fat boy like me has this natural instinct to just pound on the table and say, «Everything on the menu please!» Thank god I didn’t…their portions are petty big lol.
I ordered a Gorgonzola flat bread since it sounded cool and I remembered eating Gorgonzola once. I had an ex girlfriend that loved to use that cheese in salads. One bite into the flat bread and I just kinda told myself, «Left the ex in the past… probably should leave the cheese there too.» That is one… interesting cheese lol.
The fries, think they were seasoned with garlic and truffle oil? Seriously strong stuff! I liked it, but that’s because I’m a fan of truffle. Some people might be put off by it.
I had 3 street tacos, Asada, which is steak, Hongos Y Raja, which is… I don’t know since my Spanish is about as good as my Japanese, I know like 5 words. Oh and I also had the blackened swordfish taco. One of them was «vampire style» which is basically cheese covered tortilla. Vampire… like the books and the movies… not my thing. Although of course, some girlie girl and people flipping out over fangs and cheese lovers might totally dig it. The tacos though… oh the tacos! This fat boy likes! Once you go Yardhouse Tacos you’ll forever hate Taco Bell.
On the other hand, my friend had «jambalaya» and it came on a bed of pasta. I laughed. I thought jambalaya had rice in it? It didn’t seem like my friend enjoyed it much… but everyone has their own tastes. I’m writing this review based on my taste and experience.
