Yard House

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing experience from start to finish. The service was perfect, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and everything was brought out very quickly. The food was absolutely delicious — honestly, one of the best Pad Thai I’ve had in a long time (and it’s super big!!!), craft beer also super tasty. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. Highly recommend. Five stars! Thank you Annika M!!!

Service was great! We tried the calamari and did not care for it. We never asked but the waitress removed it from our bill! She was a wonderful waitress! We also tried the spinach dip and the firecracker shrip and it was okay. I would try something else in the future. For my main course I got the pork chop. It was perfectly cooked. The veggies that were served with it were delicious. I would definitely recommend this dish!

Yard House has a lot of great options. Everything I’ve tried so far has been good. Happy hour is definitely the move if you want to sample a bunch of different things. The sliders are fire, the margherita pizza is good, & the calamari’s crispy. The chicken lettuce wraps & spicy hummus are both solid too. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their fun finger foods. (always upgrade the fries- too truffle garlic Parmesan)

Food was great. Service was horrible. I understand a party of 16 can be quite a task, but that's when you let a more experienced server or perhaps someone who wants to be there handle it. Waitress was noticeably snarky at the beginning, which did not help our patience. Not sure if she realized it or someone pointed it out to her, but she was like a different person after we pointed out she had missed taking drink orders from one section of our party when the other drinks came in. It took 45m-1hr to receive all of our food when the restaurant was at about 50% capacity on a Thursday evening. Noise level seemed a bit high due to the sound system, but not unexpected or unusual for this setting. Overall, it was the only place im the area that was able to accommodate without requiring a ridiculo

We came to the Irvine Spectrum Yard House tonight and were lucky to have Cesar as our server/bartender on his last night here before moving to the Rancho Cucamonga location. He was absolutely fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made us feel like VIPs even on a busy night. I ordered a dirty martini (no sugar) and it was perfect—crisp, cold, and made just right. Cesar’s service and attention to detail really made the experience stand out. Rancho Cucamonga Yard House is lucky to be getting him. Thanks, Cesar, for taking care of us and making our night memorable!
