Yard House

Had a great experience. The food and atmosphere was great. My hubby enjoyed his steak and my son had salmon salad. My espresso martini was the best I've had in a long time. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone.

This was my first visit to the restaurant, and it will also be my last. The food was disappointing. I ordered a burger, which I knew might not be the best choice, but I expected it to be tasty. Unfortunately, it was salty and tasted stale. The service was poor as well. I asked the waiter for some tabasco sauce, and although he said he would bring it, he forgot. When I reminded him, he claimed I hadn’t asked for it. He also seemed a bit upset and blamed the loud TV for the misunderstanding. Additionally, the soft drinks were supposed to be refillable, but not once did he come by to ask if we wanted anything or if our food was okay.

Perfect pregame vibes—fun, lively atmosphere that got us hyped for the game! The servers were absolutely fantastic—friendly, fast, and on point. We loved everything about it and can’t wait to go back! 🙌⚾🍻

I’ve been to the Yard House in Cincinnati and also the one in Indy, and honestly, I love this place for the vibe and some of the appetizers. The Brussels sprouts are a standout—absolute perfection every time. Crispy, flavorful, and probably my favorite thing on the menu. I ordered the Cajun jambalaya with jasmine rice, shrimp, and crawdads. It was okay—decent but not amazing. I expected it to be spicier and a bit more saucy; it felt a little dry and underwhelming for a dish that should pack some punch. We also had hamburgers. Nothing to write home about—just basic. The bacon on one was burnt, which definitely didn’t help. Overall, the place is still a win for me because of the atmosphere and some consistently good small plates like the Brussels sprouts, but the entrees felt a little “meh” on this visit.

Yard house has a great atmosphere! Our hosts were pretty cool too. Great drinks & good food! Perfect spot to dine in, or just to sit—watch the game, & snack on appetizers!

I was Hyped about coming here only to be disappointed... The restaurant and the Atmosphere is 5 Stars, great environment. Service was good, just not enough help especially during game days. Biggest issue was the food was Bland and Dry... Burgers "Looked" Amazing but there was literally no taste what so ever... Mabey it was a off day of the prep or something but it was very disappointing.

What an Awesome experience!!! My first time here and I absolutely loved it!! The food was well above my expectations. I am soo satisfied.

We visited the Yardhouse in Cinci and it was amazing. My husband enjoyed his steak so much he couldn't even finish it. My expresso martini was the best I've had in a long time. I tried ordering on in NY the next weekend and it was horrible. The Yardhouse is where its at if you're looking for good food, drinks and a great atmosphere. It was too hot to sit outside. My son got the salmon salad.

Nice location with easy access underneath with the parking garage. I like the interior of the place and find the service to be decent. Food was tasty and we had a nice time. The only thing I could complain about it was how dark it was inside the place when we went.

First time dining here. An office ordered lunch from here, so I picked it up. It was dead when I arrived but it quickly became busy. While I waited for my order, I could see a large group of people standing at the door waiting to be seated. It took forever for those people, which was surprising since the restaurant was dead. The food was okay. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. My food was very under cooked, so I couldn't say I was that impressed.

I love visiting different YH locations. This one was no different. I came here for their nachos ...a quick bite to eat and was delicious. Service was great and bathrooms were clean. Close to the banks!

Ambiance is cool and casual with quick service. Unfortunately the kids pizza was a bit underdone and my daughter didn't want to eat it bc it was mushy. I had a BBQ chicken salad that was a little Smokey for my liking and the baked beans added an odd flavor to the salad. Very spacious and outdoor seating also available.

Overall, our experience at Yardhouse was great. I count calories and appreciate when a restaurant has calorie counts on their menu. The view was gorgeous, and the service was thorough and prompt. We most definitely will be going again.

It's good to know how to time that this is one of those places that is always high traffic. Always tons of people going in and out. It's close to the stadiums and when there are games happening and whenever there is a festival like pride or Oktoberfest, it's going to be slammed. So we did try to come here during one of the festivals and even though it was busy like crazy, we did get in within about 40 minutes. The staff seems to be doing their very best with all the crowds. But our server Lauren was amazing and she made sure that we were taking care of. We were always made to feel that she was there if we needed her. Food was actually pretty good. I would consider a place like this to probably not be always good with the food because they're just relying on high traffic but it's been good both times have been here. You can get a lot of food too depending on exactly what you want.

Amazing selection of beers on tap and great appetizers/ happy hour food. I had my favorite - the spicy tuna stack appetizer - and a house salad - made for a great lunch along with a couple Belgian wit beers. Everyone else enjoyed their food also and service was fast friendly knowledgeable accurate and efficient.

This place is located in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. We had a large party of 11 people during the week and it was not very crowded. The service was below par, but they were very nice (drinks took a long time or had to be asked for a couple times). They had great appetizer specials until 6:30 and that came out super fast, and we actually got the apps before any of our drinks??? I got the Spicy Jambalaya and the dish was pretty good! For dessert, got the bread pudding which comes with ice cream and it was average (not my favorite). They have a full bar with a TON of beers on tap which was impressive. With the proximity to both stadiums this is a great choice on game day.

I really like this place, we came on New Year's Eve and it was a great atmosphere. Service was good. We went during, happy hour so all drinks appetizers and pizzas were half off. We were already planning on getting pizza and appetizer so it was perfect ! We got the carnivore pizza which was very good. The dough was soft and chewy and airy and the toppings were perfect. We got the crispy brussel sprouts as well. It had a gochujang sauce on it, which was a milder almost Asian but not quite type sauce with a vinegar aïoli on the side. I know it sounds weird, but it was actually really good. I'm definitely coming back here.

Yard House is a chain restaurant. It has an upscale yet casual sports bar vibe. Located within eye shot of the Great American Ball Park (Cincinnati Reds) and Paycom Stadium (Cincinnati Bengals), the Yard House is a watering hole for devotes before the game opening at 11am and after the game closing at 11 pm. Choose from 100 beers on tap while listing to classic rock. Their food menu is EXTENSIVE and includes vegetarian options. It's mostly American fare. Happy Hour features deep discounts on food and drinks. All that said, I was here at 11 am just to get out of the rain. I was walking around the Banks area taking in the sights when the rain came pouring down and nothing else was open. So after being seated, I ordered a Yuengling draft ($3.75) in a completely empty bar/restaurant area and Poke Nachos ($16.49). Yuengling beer is my favorite and the Poke Nachos were fresh, properly seasoned and loaded with a variety of vegetables including avocado.. Needless to say that service was not an issue (LOL).

Came here for a double date with friends. The couple happened to be plant-based, and YH had several options for them to choose from. Firstly, those Brussel sprouts were some of the best I've ever had. I ordered the tacos, and two left me satisfied. I also ordered a cosmo, and it was the cutest. It was a little pricey but not unexpected given the location.

This was my first time at Yard House to eat and the best thing we ordered were the chicken wings. If you look at the picture you can tell we reached for the wings before I had a chance to take the picture. The chicken nachos were pretty good had like a chipotle sauce on the chicken that gave it some nice flavor. The Kurobuta pork sandwich was okay. Definitely needed a sauce to add flavor. Was supposed to Come with blueberry ketchup that I asked for on the side and didn't receive. Also was supposed to have spicy candied bacon on it but it was nothing spicy or candied about the bacon that was on my sandwich.

We went to the Yard House to celebrate my husband's birthday. We could not make a reservation on this Saturday night but we did find out after we got there you could text ahead and get on the waitlist. That is what we would do next time but this time we just got in line and waited luckily we got there early at 5:00 p.m. for dinner and the wait wasn't too long. Our waiter came by and introduced himself and took our drink order while we looked at the menu. I ordered a peach martini and the hubby ordered a beer. My drink was good and sweet. We placed our dinner order and then the long long wait began. It took a little over an hour for our order to come out. When our meal finally made it to the table it was good. For dinner I ordered the Ahi Tuna crunch salad and the Brussels appetizer and my hubby ordered a cheeseburger and fries. Other than the long wait for the food to come out I would definitely recommend this place. The food was good and the cocktails were good and our waiter apologized for the wait and was attentive!

My family and I came here ultimately to grab a beer, and our experience was just like any other Yard House - as advertised, and up to the company's standards I presume. They had a good beer I like but never find on tap - New Holland Dragon's Milk, and the service was friendly and prompt - despite our orders getting messed up a time or two. The atmosphere is great, as always, and the food was great, as always. I will make it a point to come back again someday, it was worth every penny!

Went on a Thursday night after a Yelp event. Good service and nice atmosphere overseeing the small park. We got the spinich dip n chips and onion rings as appertizers. Both got small dinner salads which were large. I got the Tuna which were giant and my wife got the chicken kale caesar. It was pouring when we left and they gave us large garbage bags to use for ponchos. Very nice.

Service was good. Nice atmosphere. Food was great. I had a Paloma and truffle fries with aioli and enjoyed every single fry! Everyone else in our party had good things to say about their meals and drinks, too.

Food and drinks here are very good as they have a huge menu and a lot of beer options. The only downside is that the wait can be long and when it is busy the service can be quite slow. The happy hour also doesn't apply to game days.

It clearly said "mocktail" in ALL caps... why can't I get it, like if it's an alcoholic drink then don't tell me it's a mocktail. I don't need an ID for a mocktail. It's SUPPOSED to be made without alcohol. Not with a trace of alcohol... like this is false advertisement. Like stop making them with alcohol if they are mocktails. Us underage people don't have ID's of 21 just for a damn mocktail. Like this is so annoying and making people feel like they're being ripped off. Because of this I had to order a shirltemple. Like I'm speechless and annoyed at this so much. All I wanted was a MOCKTAIL and couldn't even get it. Me and my sister wanted to drink our mocktails while our grandparents drunk their alcohol. 1 star, wouldn't come back until I'm 21 unless they fix the mocktail issue. Goodbye yardhouse in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Date night with friends. Great atmosphere. Nice location. We had to wait for a bit for our party of 4 to get seated, even though there were PLENTY of open tables. Hostess was not very friendly and acted very put out when we asked for a table with better air flow on a super hot day. We actually had to wait longer since we wanted a different table. Our server was an older lady and was SUPER NICE. She was the friendliest person there. Service was a little slow because she had so many tables, but we didn't mind because she was so nice. Food was good. Do yourself a favor and get the asian noodle dish (can't remember the name). It was the best thing we had!!!

Why would there even be a MOCKtail menu if they have alcohol in them anyways?? False advertising, I just wanted a NON alcoholic Piña Spritz because I am not of age, but I will be in the future. This place is not age inclusive and I am extremely dissatisfied. Also, because of that I ordered a Shirley temple and it's more like a SHITley temple it did not come with a cherry nor did it even tast good I have gotten better BOTTLED Shirley temples. All I wanted was to feel included and have a mocktail while my grandparents drank their alchoholic beverages, but instead I am sitting here repulsed by this shitley temple after I got I GOT ID'D FOR A MOCKTAIL. 1 star, would not come back even if I was dying of starvation. (Until I am 21 and can order a damn MOCKtail)

The food was excellent and our server (Telmo) was very attentive. He also made great suggestions based on our food preferences. We carefully read review before choosing a place to eat and almost did not choose this because of the hit and miss reviews. This was the best lunch we had during our 3-day visit to Cincinnati. We also enjoyed views of the river and fountains. Highly recommend the strawberry mule and the tuna tartare nachos!

Came here after a Reds game. They were open late and really busy but we were seated right away. Our server came pretty quickly to take our drink orders. I ordered unsweetened tea with no lemon. I got sweet tea with lemon. I sent it back and got sweet tea with no lemon. Being a diabetic this was not good. I finally just ordered water. The tea was not taken off the bill. We asked the server some questions about my wife's food allergy and he said" I don't think there are those peppers", " you should be ok". This is a life threatening allergy and not verifying really wasn't an option. We both ordered the carne asada tacos. They were amazing but really small. Steak with poblano pepper, avocado and Cilantro. Beans and spicy rice came on the side. The beans were not mashed and refried but served whole in their own gravy, really good. The rice was not spicy and was dry, almost inedible. The poor review is less about the flavor of the food but more about the serving amount and the mediocre service. There are a lot of options right here and we expected better.

Came here for their birthday deal....get a free app with main item! Got the Cilantro Lime Chicken and the fried calamari....Loved both of them! Here's a fun fact for everyone: most places just cut the calamari into the rings and serve!...@YardHouse, they include the tentacles! (Makes everything good. Also, not wasting any part of the squid!)...I would definitely come here before/after a reds or bengals game; as well as date nights!

This attentive approach contributes to a positive dining experience and reflects the restaurant's commitment to customer satisfaction. My favorite time to visit is during Happy Hour Monday - Friday from 3pm - 6pm. Yard House offers 1/2 off select appetizers and all pizzas along with $2 off beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails. Most of their appetizers can even count as a whole meal with how large the portion sizes are so you are definitely getting your bang for your buck. I enjoy the cheese pizza and truffle fries.

Great service from our waitress who was happy to show us how the kiosk computer works but was also more than happy to interact with us old fogeys IRL. Nice to be able to order immediately and then later, split the check easily without having to deal with her later. Nachos were excellent. I'm really impressed when a place knows to make the stack of chips wide but not tall so that you don't end up with a bunch of chips that don't have any stuff on them. This was perfectly done and the cheese was melted nicely. Truffle fries were also excellent. Hot, crispy, perfectly cooked. Great for dipping in the mayo and then I asked for some sriracha ketchup. Yum! I'm glad there wasn't a sporting event tonight as I found parking less than two blocks away and there was no wait. My only complaint is that they didn't have any tables with power outlets to charge up my phone. [Review 20468 overall - round number 200 in Ohio - 1448 of 2023.]

I was pretty excited to try this place, but I have to be honest and put an honest review. I was highly disappointed. The server was extremely nice and friendly, but did not keep up with our refills. The serving size of the spinach dip was almost a joke. There was enough dip for maybe 7 tortilla chips and they give you a whole plate of these chips but nowhere close enough dip for them. I got there Buffalo boneless wings, and they were horrible. They were very dry and had a Grizzly texture to them. I couldnt even eat them. The fries tasted old. My husband got the SzeChuan noodles ($25!) and he was not impressed with those either. He said they were not horrible, but they're not enough to make him want to go back. It seems like they give very small portions for the average person to get full. I'm honestly giving 3 stars because our server was very cool and nice. It kind of has a Butterbees vibe to it, but not near as good, and too overpriced!

My wife and I have come here a few times now and each time we are reminded we should come more often. I enjoy the large beer selection, and she continues to enjoy the range of appetizers and solid food options. The staff have always made good suggestions to us and provide great service throughout our meals. We tend to find meals we can share, and the fish and chips hasn't missed yet.

What a sandwich we had pre game. The Korean cheese steak is masterfully done with flavors galore. Service was fast and efficient.

Came here with a group of 8 late afternoon and were easily seated. This restaurant is right near the river so views out the windows are gorgeous. And if you don't care about the views outside, there's plenty of sports that can be watched on the tv screens. One of the best parts of eating here was the service of our server Anthony, super attentive and friendly. I got the double decker blt sandwich, very yummy- bacon was cooked perfectly, only had a little trouble with it falling apart as I tried to eat it. My dad got the cheesesteak and thought it was pretty good, except there was a piece of fat that made it in. Others in our group got the Brooke for dessert and they RAVED about it, that it was the best they'd ever had.

Just left The Yard House in downtown Cincinnati when my family and I were denied dinning inside the restaurant after we ordered a takeout order. We picked up our food from their takeout menu but then it started to rain outside. so, we asked if we could dine in and the guy with beard behind hostess said no!! He stated that because we ordered take out we can't change it- citing that it's an Ohio law! He even mentioned that like McDonalds - if we ordered their fast food, we couldn't change it to dine in the restaurant.. I told him that was a lie! I've changed my at McDonalds all the time and they let me eat inside the restaurant.. What a bunch of croc!! Asked to speak to the manager and he said he was the manager. Sugar levels were low so gotta eat ., otherwise I'd get my money back !!

3.5 The waitress was very nice and helpful. We were seated and served quickly. The food was good and I would go back but it's not anything I would rave about. Next time I'm in town I would definitely give this place another try.

YUM! I have heard this place was hit or miss but I must have picked a hit! Had the truffle cheese burger with tasty fries, do delicious and savory. Came here with 8 friends, we were promptly sat with a good view and an attentive server who filled out waters frequently. Their checkout system is nice too, it's all done on an electronic so that made our experience better for a big party paying separately. Thanks Yard House!!

This place is terrible! I placed 2 orders of wings to go and when I picked them up it began to storm outside. I called my wife and 2 kids who were outside to come in so we can eat at a table. I asked the manager if I could sit at an "empty table" briefly without a server so we can wait for the rain to stop and he said, "no"!

Service was excellent, quick and attentive! Food was a little cold, but my server returned it and for the issue gave me a free dessert!

I went to the Yard House last night with a colleague and had an amazing time. The main reason we had such a great time was the recommendations given to us by our bartender Amber. She found out what we enjoyed and recommended some beers we might have missed otherwise. In addition to her suggestions she also was interesting to talk with and provided some additional information about the beers from the area.

We had a great experience over a Sunday lunch here. There was a reds game so the wait was around 45 mins but if you check in online and put your name down in advance it'll help! We ordered the nachos with gardein, very shareable and still had some to take home Orange gardein chikn with spicy rice really tasty, wish there were more vegetables though. Truffle fries with all the dipping sauces. Our fave was the bbq and garlic aioli. The black pepper sauce wasn't as good as we thought. Perfect spot while down at the banks, massive beer selection and plenty of seating!

Came to this establishment for the first and last time this afternoon. We were graced with the service from Rachel, who turned out to be a terrible person. Rarely check on the table and ended up sitting with empty drinks more often than they were full. Coming from a table of service industry people, we can be very lenient. Have to say it was extremely hurtful to see her having conversations with other tables while we can even get a simple form of eye contact. Safe to say I will not be returning for as long as Rachel is there.

This was my first visit to YH and I enjoyed the experience. The staff was great with all smiles and energy. I went during lunch time on Friday during the setup for the music festival. It wasn't crowded so there was no wait. I ordered the garlic lobster noodles garden salad and bread pudding. I enjoyed it all. I was super hungry, but I could only eat a portion a f the pasta, so I took the rest home. I do recommend YH for anyone looking for a comfortable environment. You can eat at the bar, at a high top or regular table with or booth. I hope you enjoy.

The vibes are always great at yard house. Endless amount of beers and snacks. Some group personal favs are the chicken nachos, the spinach artichoke dip, and of course a half yard. Our server Alec was phenomenal and never let us go thirsty. We camped out there for a bit too long and he had no problem ensuring we had the best day ever.

After an amazing Disney on Ice show we wanted a steak and I found Yard House on Yelp. I want honesty on Yelp and I'm gonna give it so here's my honest review. The staff were super nice and the 2 ** are no reflection on the service because it was great. We ordered the Steak Bowl, Filet, Kids Mac-n-cheese, and Kids Pepperoni Pizza. Our food was barely warm. The Steak Bowl that I ordered was overly sauced and took over the flavor of the steak. My sister ordered the filet and it was super tough and cold. The macaroni and cheese was tasteless. The pepperoni pizza was good. We all ended up taking a couple bites. We were so hungry we grazed at what we could and called it a day. In a nutshell, if you want a loud, dark environment to enjoy craft beer and cocktails go here. Otherwise I would pick another place.

Stopped in the an appetizer and glass of wine after the tour of the Freedom Center and before pedicures. We are celebrating Mother's Day on Saturday. Vegan options from a vegan menu. Glad to see so many choices. Woman who served us wax great. I didn't get her name but she took great care of us especially since we had limited time.

I haven't been here in a long time but I am glad we went First of all when you walk in the atmosphere is so nice. The bar is huge but always has enough bartenders working. I love their tacos and the their carne asada tacos are yummy. Smashed avocado poblano onions and cilantro. Perfection. My husband got the orange chicken and the presentation is beautiful. Our bartender makes a mean dirty martini. I had a smile on my face

Came here before a Reds vs Cleveland game. Seated in about 15 minutes as promised.Food came out quickly. Good and plentiful onion rings share with your table. Nachos shareable. The tuna shashimi was good could use some wasabi. Dry rub wings are very good. Service was pretty good. Very busy. Good place to come before a game. No happy hour for day games.

Most yard houses are good. This one had a limited menu at the time i was there due to a fire in the kitchen but what I had was good and the beer selection can never be beat. I'm a regular in yard houses all over

Came here with some friends over the weekend. The restaurant was clean and nice and the servers were great. We ordered some appetizers and they were fire. Kanada was our server and he was outstanding, would recommend for sure!

We have also had great food any other time we have eaten here but tonight was less than stellar. The appetizer was not cooked , we sent it back. I order a filet medium -it was so dry it was hard to chew. I could not cut my carrots and the potatoes were cold.

Arrived on Sunday afternoon 01/26/2024 after my grandsons confirmation with a request for 27 people. They didn't bat an eye and seated us quickly and the service, food, and hospitality were first rate.... Thank you to the Yard House for making a special day complete.

My husband and I were invited here before a Bengals game. Great place but it's very popular and gets very crowded so you'll want to go early to get a table. I would've rated it a 5 star instead of a 4 star but the first server we had was not the greatest. And maybe she was just wore out from a long shift because she wasn't our server long before we had to cash out because she was leaving. But our next server was great so she made up for it. We ordered mostly off the appetizer menu. I ordered the Poke Nachos! I had never seen such a thing on a menu so I had to go for it and glad I did! It was delish! Poke (raw fish) was fresh! And since no one else at the table wanted any, I enjoyed it all by myself and smashed every bit of it! Others ordered the chicken nachos, sliders, fries and noodles. The noodles was amazing too! We'll all the food was delish really. For cocktails I had a watermelon margarita. Winner! The Malibu Peach Martini was a bit too sweet for me. Meanwhile my husband had beer. Overall fun and enjoyable atmosphere with great food and drink!

Yesterday, 7/29/2024, at the Yard House, was one of the worse dining experiences I ever had. The main reason was because of the rude, non-apologetic waiter, Josh. The cheese curds were barely cooked and became a mass of melted, oily cheese. I ordered a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich, that I should have sent back. I brought the fact up to Josh, the waiter, that there was no sauce on the chicken, and it was not hot at all. He said "well that's because corporate decided to make a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich that is not hot. He offered no solution, comments, and simply walked away. I bottle of hot sauce could have taken care of it. This is the worst Yard House I have every been in, and I will not be returning! I generally do not write reviews, and I only took the time in hopes that some of you do not experience the same.
