Yard House

I love the Yard House Franchise because their menu has so many choices of dinners you wish you could make at home or make at home if you have the time 😊 Walking in Yard House we were not greeted by Emma 😐 (that is why there is only 3 stars) we were waiting to give our name to be seated. Standing in line there was someone who Emma helped seat before us and when she returned she didn’t say anything to us and immediately started to help the next person who walked through the door. I interrupted because it’s been a long drive from Las Vegas and I was starving! I said “hello, we’re right here” to let her know we were waiting to be seated, then her demeanor changed and she got an attitude and still never said hello or welcome in and asked us if we wanted to sit at a table or a booth, we did not

We haven’t been here for years and decided to watch some football at this place. The Happy Hour menu was the same as the other Yard House that we normally go to, but the food tasted not nearly as good as the other one. The sliders were dry and hardened, the artichoke dip was much smaller in serving size and this place served much less poke in the poke chips platter. It sure looked like this operator was taking some serious steps to cut its operating costs. The service on the other hand was really friendly and good. We observed how hard our server, David, was working and yet still took care all of his guests. Another sign that this operator was trying to cut costs by not hiring enough servers.

A great place for lunch or dinner. I like that you can mix and match the taco combos. Hubs ordered some blue cheese with his pizza and it was amazing! The add on ceasar salad for $5 is massive! Lots of different types of food here and great beer 🍺

The food was good but I was very disappointed with the portion they gave out. For the amount of money you pay your stomach should be satisfied and not wanting more in order to be filled. The burger was small and the fries were like kids size. My wife dish was also small. It’s better to cook your own meals and eat home if this is what the restaurant and fast food industry is coming too. We want to support and help them but they must provide better service overall. I doubt at this moment I will ever go back there again.

Oktoberfest at the Yard House has a selection of beers for the event, a promotion with purchase of a souvenir 1 liter beer stein with $5 dollar yards through October 26th, was the reason for the return visit. Always busy at this location in Chino Hills at the Shoppes, but bar seating is available on occasion without a wait. Enjoyed our appetizers, vegetarian options exist, we tried the garden wings and the nachos we ordered with meat on the side, it did have cheese so not vegan or vegetarian but a bit closer. Good portion for the price. A nice dining experience, the staff was extremely helpful and attentive. Will be back. If you enjoy a dining experience in a setting that is sports bar/busy and loud.
