Yard House

I really thought about this carefully. Am I really doing this? Am I really giving a chain bar/​restaurant a 5 star rating and perhaps putting my credibility on the line? And yes, yes I am.
The 3−6pm Weekly Happy Hour has got me returning multiple times in the past 2 weeks, so this must be saying something. I order different kinds of happy hour foods each time, but always always the same drink. This 5 stars is mostly dedicated to the bomb recipe they have for the MULES on their drink menu, which is perfectly delivered to me each time. The Mule may be my favorite drink of all time, and I’ve had it at restaurants everywhere near and far. This has got to be the best mule I’ve ever had. Moscow Mule + Hawaiian Mule. Just do it. If only this place wasn’t on a Hill (Ridge’s) and didn’t require extensive car driving, I would just sit here and drink mules all day.
The Traditional Buffalo Wings, Boneless BBQ Wings (Idon’tevenlikebonelessorbbq), pepperoni + mushroom pizza, poke (a bit too much soy but just drink some more mule to dilute it lols), and onion rings have been perfect happy hour accompaniments to the mule. Come here 3 – 6 on a weekday, and enjoy everything + the nice servers!

Moe, our server was great, kudos to her but I was not impressed with the food. My bff’s and I went there to celebrate a special occasion. Friend #1 ordered a kale salad with the ceasar dressing on the side but requested an olive oil and lemon dressing as well. The salad was mostly romaine lettuce and no oil/​lemon dressing. The server had to ask her helper twice to get the other dressing. Friend #2 ordered a sandwich with truffle fries, fries were cold. Moe took them back and came back with another plate which was also cold, third try the fries came back hot but she was almost finished with her sandwich. Friend #3 had jambalaya which she said was very good & hot, no complaints there. I had the COCONUT SHRIMP
spicy green papaya salad, sweet chili sauce, basil pesto. $ 13.65. The plate came with 3 medium size shrimp and the salad was 95% carrots, not sure where the papaya was. For $ 13.65, you should get more than 3 shrimp. I also ordered the SHIITAKE GARLIC NOODLES, too salty for my taste.
I have been to the Yard House in Hawaii, the food there was much better. Not sure why the food was so off but I won’t be going back to the Yonkers location, once you mess up food, there are no second chances with me. Very nice restaurant, great service but the food was not to my liking.

This is my go to last minute place in Yonkers. Lol. I have never had a bad experience here. Food is always great and my drinks whether it is a beer or cocktail is always nice and cold. I always recommend their Chicken Nacho during Happy Hour. you get way more for your money during happy hour. The waiters are always terrific however the hostesses at the from are not friendly and always seem like they do not want to be there. My opinion they should not be the first sour faces you see when walking in. I would have given 5 stars but it is always freezing in there. So I had to subtract a star.

This is a good place to drop by an have a meal after you go to the movies or before. I like their food I really enjoyed having the tacos and they have a great selection of beers on tap. The wait can be a little long especially during the peak hours. It has been a while since I’ve been there but it is a solid place with good wait staff.

I gave this place a 4 star because of the AMAZING SERVICE! Liz was our waitress, I am definitely coming back for her, being that it was my first time, she took her time to explain to me the variety of the food and drinks. The food sucked, I would give the food Zero stars, it has nothing interesting, it was the usual beer fast food place, extremely high on calories and pricey than the usual, But the ONLY thing that would bring me back was the amazing service and care we received by our waitress LIZ, ASK for her to take care of you and you’ll have a totally different experience!

I love their bbq bacon burger. I’m a burger fan, every time I go to a burger restaurant. I order the burger. Yard house, you did a fantastic job with the fries and burger. Especially the bacon which is highly important. Well done!

Came with with my boyfriend recently. I think our server was Amanda again. She was awesome. We had a movie to catch afterwards so we were delighted by how quickly our food came out. The food was yummy as usual. Great food and great service.
Thank you Yardhouse!

An upscale chain pub with delicious food, amazing drinks, and a ton of beers on tap.
We’ve been here many times and the experience is always consistent. We’ve tasted several of the menu items and we’ve never had a bad meal. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is fun and relaxing. Great place for a group of friends to meet and hang out.
The truffle fries are a must have! Definitely try their martinis and cocktails as well. Also, they have an extensive vegetarian menu… so bring along your non-​meat eater friends!
Despite the fact that this place is always crowded, we usually get seated fairly quickly. The bar area is huge, so even if you have to wait a bit you can sit down and have a drink. You’ll definitely want to come back here multiple times– there’s just too much on the menu that you will want to try!

5* for the service. Will definetly be back for quality service all the way around starting with the server. The beer selection is excellent as it is loaded with tons of interesting domestics while also balanced great classic beers from around the world. Really well done.
The space is comfortable and spacious, feels very clean as well. Great place to watch a game with the huge bar.
The food though is honestly a little weak even for bar food. Boneless jerk wings were a mistake– pretty dry and tasteless. French Onion soup had a great taste but came out lukewarm. Lettuce wraps were delicious, too many sauces though.
I wish they simplified the menu a bit, but overall yard house yonkers is one of the more pleasant service experiences in recent memory.

Drinks were a little on the weak side, however, if you like beer, you’d really like the Yard House. We only ordered appetizers, which were good. Service was great, atmosphere was lively with an impressive bar. Lots of choices on the menu, so there’s something for everyone, definitely a go-​to spot while shopping in Ridge Hill.

I used to come to Yard House a lot when they first opened, but then I grew tired of it and took a holiday from the restaurant for a while. While it’s not my go-​to place, it’s geographically in a central spot for my colleagues and I to meet after work for drinks and apps.
Yard House is large — an impressive bar with a boatload of beer on tap sits in the center which provides a nice focal point. My favorite part of the atmosphere is the music — it’s all mainstream stuff but they have a nice variety of 70s to present which makes it more interesting than your average chain’s offering.
The menu has a lot of stuff, but I usually come here for drinks and small plates so we stick with apps. Most of their food is good; it’s chain food but it’s tasty. I don’t drink beer much but their cocktails are pretty good, no real complaints (though I’m a light social drinker you can’t really go by me).
One thing I found weird at Yard House (and this has happened more than once) is that my server will sometimes change mid meal — either my original server ended their shift or was going on a break. I can understand that, but it’s still a little strange to me. Yard House is a popular spot — weekends are super packed but it’s tamer on weeknights; we’ve had no problem getting in on Thursday nights with parties of 6 to 10 people.
Solid food and cool environment — good times always with friends =)

Love it love it love it. We stop by here from time to time and as of now we have tasted most of their menu. Fried calamari, crab cakes, truffle fries, tacos, hamburgers & fish. Ample selection of beers and cocktails. Attentive service and clean location.

Im not sure why we waited so long to come here. Maybe because its a corporate restaurant? I don’t know. We did not expect to like it as much as we did. This place was PACKEd! we waited almost an hour.
Although the wait took long, we had fine service from the moment we sat down. I loved the style of the menu. it was an american based menu with a mix of bbq, and a few other styles. I saw some really original dishes on the menu that enticed me. Their drink menu was super impressive as well. I got an outstanding berry cocktail, and my fiancé enjoyed two beers off of their great selection.
Our appetizers were phenomenal. The fried cheese curd was insane!!! So flavorful and fresh! Onion rings with the spiced rang dipping sauce was a nice touch!
Our entrees were my favorite. I ordered a spicy honey chicken breast, that came with sweet potato ‘hot cakes’. IT WAS AMAZING. I never ordered anything like that before, and damn I am so happy I did. Those sweet potato pancakes were top notch. I just might have to order the same meal again next time I go back.
There was no room for dessert after the appetizers and entrees. Guess we will have to go back to try this those as well!

This yard house is amazing. The place in front and inside very clean. When you walk in great atmosphere and would immediately reccommend everyone to come here. Not the first time here. It fits all occassions, from a date, to hanging out with your friends to bringing children.
As far as the food, i had almost everything on the menu for happy hour yet i will talk about my last experience and food selection.
Beer — north coast scrimshaw
Fried calamari — a must have. It was perfectly fried, not over cooked where it was chewy, and perfectly seasoned.
Vampire taco — if you like garlic, this is definitely an option for you. Light Crispy delightful.
Sliders with truffle fries — parmesan truffle fries was AMAZING!!! And sliders was tender and juicy and a great portion size.
Also the service from Carlos and Jules was very awesome. Considering how busy it was for the Lakers game and Hockey game. They was very tentative.

I came here once before, but forgot to write a review. I was around the area and decided to come back and try ither stuff on the menu.
I was pretty pleased to have been seated right away as this place is usually pretty busy.
For the app, I ordered the Fried Calamari. It had a spicy tomato sauce and a roasted jalapeño tartar dip. This was made really well. It was perfect!
For the entrée. I ordered the Mac & Cheese. It had chicken, bacon, wild mushrooms, cheddar, parmesan and truffle oil. This, too, was amazing! My BF ordered the Maui Pineapple Chicken. It was marinated, grilled with answert sou pineapple and vegetable fried brown rice. This was really good! (I had a taste!)
The service was a bit slow. Like I said, I came when it wasn’t busy. So I wasn’t sure why the service was so slow. I aske the waitress for water, and waited over a half hour for it. All good, though! There’s a lot of beer or tap. A huge selection. So, if you’re a beer drinker, this place is for you. I recommend coming here at least to try it out.

The bartender Zachary was quick and attentive. Chopped salad was delicious, would’ve been perfect with some mixed greens underneath, sort of strange to have no lettuce in a «chopped salad» but still so good. Bloody Mary was awesome (candied bavon/​lime, perfectly spicy). My boyfriends spicy chicken was crispy, sweet potato pancakes were so yummy.
Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because it was FREEZING. Had my coat on and my boyfriends coat wrapped over my legs the whole time.

What to expect when you dine at Yard House: average food basically interchangeable with Applebees, TGI Fridays, etc. and subpar service. On my most recent experience, for lunch, our server appeared disinterested in doing much of anything. Even though the restaurant had just opened and was maybe five tables above empty, he still managed to disappear for long periods of time. Eventually, he came by to say he was taking his lunch break (which would be roughly an hour after the restaurant opened) and another equally disinterested waiter came to take his place.
I’m assuming that many of you who come here do so because the line for Cheesecake Factory is too long. Do yourselves a favor and find something else.

Yonkers!
Well if you take in to account this is Yonkers, it might be the best spot to hangout in.
The location is great being in Ridge Hill and all. The restaurant is very spacious, I have never had to wait to be seated here, except when I came in with a party of 20 for drink and apps. Since the place is huge it is a nice place to have a dinner date or to just hangout with the homies. The food here is pretty decent, nothing to write home about but nothing to dislike either. Portion sizes are huge. They have tons of beer options for you beer lovers. The drinks here are Solid, they have a large selection. There are quite a few TVs here if you wanna sit at the bar and catch some of the games.
For me the only real drawback there isn’t music here. Initially it felt like a nice chain to now where I kind of of feel like its an upgraded Applebees or Chillis. OMG was that their blueprint? I don’t know The food isn’t that fine enough to where you feel like you are at a fresh restaurant, and their is no nightlife vibe here… just caught in the middle.
That being said being in Yonkers this is one of the better places to enjoy with your friends, shopping is all around.
Infact as I am writing this I am realizing what makes this special is the people you come with ;)
Enjoy!

Paris was a very friendly & conscientious waiter.
The tallest thickest tastiest grilled cheese sandwich I’ve ever seen. Whether with avocado or without you will NOT be disappointed!
Everything was above average here. Looking forward to checking out more Yard House restaurants as a result of this places experience.
Thank you Paris, thank you chef, thank you Yard House!

I was going to the movies upstairs but had a hour to kill and we decided to come here for drinks. At first I wasn’t sure if I wanted to come since I do not drink beer but boy was I wrong. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were awesome, once I told them I don’t drink beer they show me their cocktails menu. I was a little undecided but finally tried the Old 43 and I have to say I’m in love. This bourbon drink was so good I wish it came in a bigger glass. Also tried the bourbon berry sour and it was good but not as good as the Old 43.
Next time I have to try the food and of course more drinks :)
