Yard House

I usually start by talking about the food, but this time I have to start with the service. This was our first visit to a Yard House, and we were lucky enough to have Ashley T as our server. She was incredibly enthusiastic about where she works and genuinely made us feel welcome from the start. My wife and I were having a hard time deciding on entrées, and Ashley was extremely helpful—everything she recommended or described ended up being spot on. She checked in regularly without being overbearing, and somehow my soda was always refilled right before it got low. She also suggested a pineapple cider for my wife, which turned out to be an excellent recommendation. Her attitude alone made the experience better than we expected. Now, on to the food. We’ve been trying something new lately—starting with dessert as an appetizer. This time we ordered the churro dessert along with chicken wings. Five wings were buffalo and five were Korean chili garlic, and both were fantastic—especially the chili garlic. The crunch on those wings was awesome, and everything was presented really well. We especially liked how the churros were served. For our entrées, we had the Korean barbecue sandwich with onion rings and the pepper jack burger with fries. Both were really good, but honestly, we filled up on the starters and couldn’t fully appreciate them. That didn’t stop us from eating most of everything anyway. The roll on the Korean barbecue sandwich was especially impressive. If I had to point out anything we didn’t love, the burger bun wasn’t really our favorite, and we realized we’re probably not big fans of beer-battered onion rings. That said, they were cooked perfectly—and the portion size was actually generous (which is a nice change from places that skimp). We also would have preferred the Korean barbecue sandwich without cheese. Next time, we’d probably ask for it with the Korean chili garlic sauce instead and hold the cheese. This was an unplanned stop at the Orlando location while we were at the outlet mall, but we were already talking about going back on the drive home. Next time we’ll try the Tampa location since it’s closer, and we just hope the service is as great as it was here. And we’ve already decided—when (not if) we come back, we’re ordering two plates of wings and a churro dessert and calling it a meal.

We had a great experience at Yard House. Even though it was quite busy, the wait for our party of five was under ten minutes, which was a pleasant surprise. The menu offered a wide variety of options, all reasonably priced, making it easy for everyone to find something they enjoyed. Our server, Lucas, truly elevated the experience. He was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, offering thoughtful recommendations and checking in regularly to ensure everything was just right without being intrusive. Despite the lively atmosphere and multiple TVs, the space was comfortable and conducive to conversation. We were able to relax, connect, and enjoy our time together without feeling overwhelmed by the noise. The food was well prepared, flavorful, and satisfying. Portions were generous, making it ideal for sharing and trying several dishes. Overall, it was an enjoyable visit with great service, good value, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Stopped into Yard House on International Drive for drinks and appetizers and had a great experience. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable, and service was quick and friendly. The gin and tonics were perfectly balanced and refreshing. For apps, we ordered the Poke Nachos and the Spicy Tuna Stack — both were fantastic. The Poke Nachos were fresh and flavorful with just the right crunch, and the Spicy Tuna Stack was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. Great spot to unwind, grab drinks, and share some appetizers. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re on International Drive!

The pizza is great. The crust melts in your mouth, toppings taste fresh, sauce is original and enjoyable. Bones chicken is moist and sauces are tangy and flavorful. The spinach dip is amazing. That is a favorite of mine and theirs is one I would recommend at the top of my list. The sushi nachos and sushi were impeccable and I love fish. The nacho one would be perfect for a date.

Ate here for the first time and already can’t wait to go back. The happy hour is great, half off appetizers and they have decent pricing on beers, cocktails are $2 off. Service was good, it is very big inside but there’s a cozy atmosphere. The portions are very decent sizes we split a lot of the dishes. Drinks were great, star of the show tonight was the Truffle Mushroom Pizza and the Crispy Brussel Sprouts! Will definitely be returning!
