I would give ya guys a 5 star rating but after bringing a party of 8 on my birthday. You gave me a waitress who really must have not wanted to be at work thatd ay . We sat at the patio because theyre is no sign that says anything about vaping. My friends and I were very nice having a good time on my birthday and the whole time we were there the waitress has this attitude. So instead of kindly telling us herself that we couldnt vape. Considering we dont eat here or drink here often, she sends her manager to come strongly enforce that we cant vape here. With attitude. I couldnt believe it. I myself am a manager for a retail store in the mall and when my associates have problem they lay out the rule and rhey say it kindly. Because we want people to know we are respectful and have future business with the customer. Obviously you guys dont give a two cents. Considering it was my birthday and you had a big party thats good money for your business. Why jeopardize it to be an uptight prick for no reason. Not worth it. Im pretty peaceful person. I didnt like the way my friends and I were treated. Especially since we drove from out of town/county to be there. I have family I come to the spectrum with a lot and I definitely will never recommend anyone to come with their friends in big parties. They obviously cant handle the fun and joy of others. Ill probably be calling cooperate tomorrow too. Great service in the past. Not anymore. Very disappointed. I hope that this review gives you guys positive feedback for future customers. And vaping is pretty big now. Id put a sign on your patio . -yazzy

The bar at Yardhouse is a gargantuan island situated in the middle of the restaurant. That’s a good note to start a restaurant review on, isn’t it? The beer selection here is mind-numbingly awesome, with page-upon-page devoted to it in the menu. Servers know to leave at least one menu at the table in case diners want re-strategize their selections. Speaking of the menu, ordering at the Yardhouse is a pretty safe bet. I have never had anything here that I didn’t love. For this occasion I decided on the ahi salad, and Dave sided with a soup and sandwich lunch special. So, let’s start with my salad. We’ve got a nice plate of crisp, verdant greens. Lots of great texture here, it’s all very crispy and wet. Fresh is the word that keeps popping into my mind. The Ahi itself is stunning. These are thinly-sliced little jewels of goodness. They have a deep ruby color, and the outside has a generous coating of spices and seasonings. The flavor is mild and delicate, as good Tuna should be. Overall, the fish and salad come together to make for a very light, satisfying lunch. The dressing is a soy-based, vaguely Asian-tasting invention that would work in a lot of dishes. Dave’s sandwich was a crab cake hoagie, with bacon and crusty bread. Accompanying it was a cup of hot clam chowder. The sandwich was crisp and flaky from the bread, which balanced the richness of the crab cake nicely. Bacon just makes everything taste better. Overall, Yardhouse provides an open, inviting place to eat with a great selection of beers and a diverse menu. It’s one of my favorite restaurants.

Traditional Buffalo Wings ($6 on Happy Hour menu) are tossed in buffalo sauce, served with celery sticks and ranch dressing. The chicken is fried perfectly with crispy skin. The buffalo sauce has a good spicy flavor and strong vinegar aroma. Rating: 5/5 Onion Ring Tower ($5 on Happy Hour menu) are beer battered onion rings dusted with parmesan and served with chipotle and ranch dipping sauces. The batter is average, but presentation is great. Rating: 3/5 Pastrami Sliders (look for it as a special) are topped with Swiss cheese and served with fries. The pastrami is thinly sliced and packed with flavor. The pastrami matches perfectly with melted Swiss cheese. The slider rolls are soft and fluffy. The fries are perfectly cooked and seasoned, crispy on the outside and fluffy in the inside. Rating: 5/5 Deviled Eggs are topped with spicy tomato sauce, sweet chili sauce and chive batons. While the eggs are good but the tomato sauce doesnt really match. It would work better with the sweet chili sauce and thinly sliced Maui or Vidalia onion. Another option would be to go with a more savory path by topping it with shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Rating: 2/5 Vodka Shrimp Pasta is chopped shrimp tossed with angel hair pasta, vodka tomato cream sauce, and parmesan. The angel hair is cooked al dente. The shrimp is also cooked to perfection with a snap to it. The vodka tomato cream sauce is a perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and acidity. The sauce matches perfectly with the shrimp. Its a rich dish so youll have leftovers to take home. Rating: 5/5

My wife and I came here on a Wednesday around 530 just in time for happy hour. we ordered items off the Happy Hour. Beer lovers rejoice as the selection of beer is plentiful. I ordered a half yard of Pyramid Hefeweizen with an orange slice. the beer came out cold and delicious. our second drink was a strawberry martini. it was sweet and strong with a slight tart. on the plates we ordered off the happy hour menu: Onion Ring Tower Chicken Garlic Noodles Traditional Wings - Firecracker sauce Blue Crab Cakes let me tell you about the Onion Rings first since i want to end this review on a good note. the onion rings came out luke warm and soggy as if it sat there for 15 minutes before being delivered. i initially thought it was just the first few and went on to find out the whole order wasnt as fresh as I expected. I told the waitress that I didnt think it was good and she offered a replacement, i told her no because i had eaten half of it already. She brought out her manager who insisted on a refund. I found this to be a great business response by Yard House. The Chicken Garlic Noodles came out piping hot and flavorful, not too garlicy. Traditional Wings was the winning dish on tonights menu. just the right amount of sauce. very slight crisp and juicy meat inside. i didnt try the Blue Crab cakes but the wife said it was delish. the atmosphere here fills you with a sense of energy and fun. Overall. this location is a win. i recommend this place for the tasty food, and mega selection of beers.

YARDHOUSE! If you are a beer drinker step a way from the Bud Light and go to Yardhouse! Here you will see a classy, but affordable restaurant with close to a 100 beers on tap. You can order beers in any size from pint to Half Yard. The food is far superior to standard bar cuisine. My favorite dishes are the New York Steak sandwich and the French Dip. The Steak sandwich comes with sweet potato fries, but if you dont like sweet potato I like to substitute with garlic fries sometimes. The french dip also very delicious, very tender and juicy. The best feature I enjoy about Yardhouse is catching a football or other sporting event. There are multiple LCD TV screens all around the restaurant. If you happen to be the only person that wants to watch a certain game, you can ask your server to change to any game, probably any network. So bring a group of friends and enjoy! Cheers
