The Atmosphere was Excellent. The Large selection of BEER was Excellent. The mixed drinks were GOOD. As for the food I have to say some of the worst food I have experienced. We started with an appetizer of Crab Dip, I tasted no Crab, I tasted maybe some sort of cream cheese, pretty tasteless to be honest. Then we ordered two cups of Clam Chowder, one of mine and my husbands favorite. Again not a taste of Clam or seafood.... tasted like Velveeta Cheese and maybe some sugar. Not good. Were hungry so we did eat it. Then our main course came. No salads included and soup cost additional. We ordered a Seafood mix with Noodles. the Seafood (Crab, Shrimp, Etc.) had NO taste at all... I am not sure where they get there seafood but it was awful. Then for the Noodles, I honestly have to say (speaking from the fact I have teenagers and have tasted what I make them "RAMON" Noodles would of tasted better.... again it tasted like a cup of powdered sugar was mixed with the noodles, which were as room temperature at that. My husband and I both took one bite and NOT another. We had a nice Suite with a refrigerator and Microwave but we did not even take the plate of noodles because they were awful. I normally dont complain but both my husband and I agreed it was some of the worst food we had ever experienced and the price was not cheap. We had better food at Dennys and Hooters and we always love "Bahama Breeze" "Outback" as far as chains go. I home they hire a new cook/chef because like I said the atmosphere was great but the food I would not suggest to my worst enemy... Sorry!!!! Not Good.

Nice location, contemporary interior, lively spot. The menu items that my party received ranged from sub-par to pretty good, but nothing really stood out or made us want to come back. The drink menu seems more organized than the food menu. The food menu is quite large and has many popular dishes that are common in an American restaurant. The truffle fries had potential but were poorly executed, I do not recommend them as an appetizer/small plate but maybe to compliment a burger. The chicken nachos were typical, nothing special, and the heaping dollop of guacamole was not as fresh as I would prefer a raw food item to be, however I did enjoy the pinto beans. The nachos are quite large and would serve as an appetizer or shareable plate for 3-6 people, but there are better apps on the menu so just stick to ale house for the nachos. The French onion soup was nice, came out hot (but with no spoon). The kurobuta pork burger was delicious, I loved the blueberry ketchup but I wish I could see it more frequently on the menu. I did feel like there was something missing to tie it all together, but I was the only one at the table who finished the meal, so it mustve been good enough. Our service was not bad at all considering it was late on a peak night, but Ive had better experiences at a Dennys, and the food there was at least what you would expect from a $4 menu. I would go to yard house again if a friend chose to, but I do not believe it would be my choice to return here in the near future.

Upscale chain restaurant, owned by the Darden Restaurants, is 100% great! The food is complemented by over 100 craft beers. For appetizers I opted Ahi-Tuna (raw NOT seared), fried calamari, and the Wisconsin cheese bites. They all came at the same time, all prepared freshly. The cheese bites were crispy and delicious, the calamari wasnt chewy at all, and lastly the ahi-tuna was seasoned to perfection. With our entrees we opted for soups instead of salad, two people in my party got the French Onion Soup, one person got the Chicken tortilla soup, and I got the Organic Tomato Bisque. I didnt try the French onion soup or the chicken tortilla but my soup was flavorful. For the entree I order the PARMESAN CRUSTED PORK LOIN with bourbon-sage-cherry shallot sauce, broccolini, mashed sweet potatoes, but I opted for garlic mashed potatoes since I already figured the cherry shallot sauce was going to be sweet. The garlic mashed potatoes complemented the sweet cherry shallot sauce. After the table was cleared I order the MINI CHOCOLATE SOUFFLÉ CAKE topped with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream. Let me put this in perspective, the total bill before tip was about 196.00. We also purchase a few beers and other people in the party order other items. With a $35 tip the bill came out to $231. They honesty perfected all the dishes, they actually spent time to plate the food and make it look very presentable. Our server on Feb 14, Alicia, was informing and kind.

We went here after hearing it was a good place for happy hour and the food was good. We came in after our party was seated and before we could greet our friends and open a menu we were greeted by our server who after welcoming us asked if we were ready to order out drinks. I laughed at her jokingly saying " can I atl east sit down first ?" She left leaving us 1 beer menu between 5 people that was the size of a dictionary thinking we would look through it fast enough between her next 4 visits in that 5 minute time span . After This we ordered the happy hour apps which so4unded good on paper but were horrible calamari fried to death , pizza that tasted like it was bought in frozen, crab cakes with a mango beurre blanc that takes more like panko bread crumbs then crab, and nachos with baked beans on it which made no sense. During out time eating we witnessed our server drop and entire 4 tops beers on them and break all the glasses on the floor, forget that she had a table in her section and they waited forever till she realized, and also forget other order 2 entrees at the 5 top booth behind us . The poor floor manager had to touch so many tables to apologize and comp these peoples drinks and food. Overall no impress with this seeing how their a chain we good hype in a good area in orlando

Okay im a server bartender. I know the ropes of the business. I love yard house except this time i came in with my other half. The hostest didnt acknowlege us. We walk to the bar and sit down. A female bartender we will call her T just handed menu to us. Didnt ask how we were. Didnt give us bev nap or introduce herself. Then walked away. My other half and i decided on mosco mules because we finally saw that it was happy hour from searching the menu. A guy bartender who we will allso call T finally showed up still no introduction no explaination of happy says "drinks" we order. His response "2 id" then walks away to make drinks. Comes back drops them off. Walks away We set there for 10 minutes knowing we wanting food. 3 bartenders and a manager stood infront of us for thw entire time. Ot a single hello or offer to take our food order. I put debit card in cup w tip and suddenly the male server came back and said "what no food." Really. Seriously. No. If after 15 minute u ask us about food why. Why cant you engage us. Recommend stuff let ys know what yard house is about. Sell. The higher the check the higher the tip. Needles to say tab was 17 and change. Left 4 dollars. Never again.
