Yard House

Happy hour deals are good. Carnivore pizza was meaty. Ahi tuna nachos were alright, same as birria tacos. Good if you’re hanging out socially but there are better places for birria tacos around if it’s a culinary experience you’re after

We had such a great time at Yard House at Rio! We went as a big group of friends and it couldn’t have been a better choice. The atmosphere was fun and lively—perfect for catching up and enjoying the evening together. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drink selection was huge (everyone found something they loved!). But what really stood out was the service. Our waitress team, Nathan and Timothy, were amazing—so attentive and friendly. We never once had our glasses empty, and they made sure our table had everything we needed the whole time. It honestly felt like they went above and beyond to make our night special. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to again and again!

Cocktails are delicious! Everything was delicious. The food came out pretty quick and the server came to check up on us quite frequently. We ordered dessert too which was also perfect!

Great food great service consistently!! We came June 14, 2025. I was so hungry. We ordered the shrimp appetizer, kids pizza, and the chopped salad. The shrimp comes on top of rice that is fried. It is sooooo good. Think Thai bang bang Shrimp. The salad was huge and as usual I needed to take some home. I added blacked chicken to it for the protein. DELICIOUS!! The kids pizza was demolished! 😂😂🤣. Good stuff! Our server was Jess and she is the best. Very friendly and extremely helpful. We always come back, but I don’t always remember to take pictures!!! 😂😂🤣

The food and drinks were great, and our server John was amazing so friendly and attentive, and really made our experience special. The night started off a little off because the hostess Ani was rude and nasty .. over all not very welcoming for that to be the first part of our experience, but thankfully John turned things around and made sure we had a great time. The food came out quickly, and we really appreciated the gluten-free options that worked well for my daughter.

Wow first time here the Food the server, atmosphere was great, definitely I recommend this restaurant. Wow Wow wow! This restaurant continues to amaze me with their new upgrades to their menu, adding new food. The addition of the Birria tacos is Perfect the flavor is delicious On point! A definite Must Have! And we were craving for fried pickles and the manager went over expectation and brought us fried pickles, even though they were not on the menu! I give this restaurant a 100% in every aspect! I will continue to recommend this restaurant to friends and family!

We started with Miguel's queso. It was ok, mostly burned cheese stuck to the side of the bowl. Not nearly enough chips to even eat 1/2 the queso, and takes forever to get some more. The proper amount of chips to eat the queso should be included when arriving at the table. I had the fish taco & a vampire taco. The Vampire was good. The fish was boring. Overall good experience.

My chicken nachos (gardein) were skimpy and took way longer than everyone elses food but damn if the drinks and service weren't great. I still don't know if it was intentional but our waiter was so funny. I loved sitting in the semi-outdoor seating, it had a nice breeze and view of the lake but still had cover above us

Busy parking lot, we were circling back and forth for parking but finally found one close to entrance, luckily. We were seated right away with friends with two kids as well. I do love the game selection on the tablet they have. It helped keep the kids occupied while we settled them and ordered. The sunset sangria, delicious! I did order the two tacos, fish and birria. They were both delicious. I will definitely come back to one closer in NJ

This place has the best Happy Hours! So many selections of appetizers at half-price with generous portions and almost everything tasted super yummy. Our favorite was the Tuna Nachos, Sliders with fries, Brussel Sprouts and Flat bread pizza. Drinks are also very refreshing & smooth. Seating by the lake side was nice but a bit too hot this summer, I would really rather sitting inside but you also have to deal with the super loud music. The place is jammed packed even during weekdays, definitely a long wait on weekends. I would highly recommend Yard House if you never been there, you might be hooked just like us!

4 Stars My Go-To Spot! Yard House is one of my favorite places, especially for Happy Hour. My go-to is always the classic sliders you really can't go wrong with them. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and just the right size. The fries are a classic side that never disappoints. One dish I surprisingly fell in love with is the garlic shiitake mushroom noodles. I tried it on a whim and it quickly became one of my favorites. I usually customize it by adding veggies or meat to make it a more complete meal highly recommend doing that! As for drinks, I'm all about a good dirty martini, and the bartenders here nail it every time. Big shoutout to John behind the bar he always serves me with a smile and knows I like my martinis with blue cheese-stuffed olives. It's the little things like that that make this place feel like my spot. Great food, great drinks, and even better vibes. Whether I'm coming in solo or grabbing drinks with friends, Yard House never lets me down!

It's so busy there always. The service was amazing. The server was very attentive and so nice despite how busy he clearly was. The calamari and chicken nachos were really good. They were perfect choices to share. The drinks were good too and not too strong. The place was busy but it was a Friday night. It's a bit loud but not too crazy. It was clean and we were able to sit in a booth and hear each other talk. I would come here again

Ashanti gave me excellent service today friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. I ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp and Caesar Salad, and both were absolutely amazing. Everything came out fresh, on time, and full of flavor. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. I'll definitely be coming back

I did curbside take out here and ordered the lobster garlic noodles. The parking lot was full and difficult to navigate through due to the tightness. I basically had to double park and block a row of cars for my curbside order per their instruction. The staff brought my food out with minimal wait time. The food was flavorful and I'd give it a 9/10. My only issue is that it was on the greasier side. They do give you a large portion though.

I have always been a fan of The Rio. It's always been worth the drive from Southern Maryland. Today was no different. E'rything went well for our monthly siblings lunch today. We had a GREAT server (Thanks, Donovan for your uber professional service!). As you see in the pics, this Yard House location is modern and clean. I love their huge bar and expansive beer taps. It's like an upscale brewery. The burgers (bbq/bacon, truffle cheese and blue cheese/bacon) were all awesome. We actually have no complaints about the wings, beers, Tito's and Jameson shots, or the salads. I wasn't a fan of the onion rings - they could have been a lil crispier; the spinach dip was a lil bland and the calamari was overdone. NOT a deal breaker tho' ... their menu is HUGE so there's plenty of other options for next time. Yard House is not fancy but it is hip and trendy and decent and impressive enough for a birthday dinner, date night, promotion celebration, etc. When you go, tell them you saw it on Yelp!

How did I never realize just how popular this place is?! It was packed to the brim, but still no wait time! I love how you can order and pay on the little screen, making it super convenient especially since the waiters must be super busy. It took a while to get plates and utensils, but don't let that stop you, food comes out fast! Drinks a bit slower... I came here for happy hour and it has become my favorite place. Their poke nachos are sooo good. Its a perfect balance to the other heavy appetizers. I loved their lemon pepper wings, but wish they had a bit more seasoning. Boneless wings were super juicy and a bit more flavorful than their classic wings, even though we got the same flavors. Miguels queso dip was a bit too heavy for me and wish they had more chips instead of tortillas. Their pizzas are delicious as well, the buffalo chicken is a bit too breaded but still great, and omg their mushroom one is the best- bit creamy with mushroom flavor shining through. Coco passion was definitely coconutty and tropical, which I personally love, and the malibu peach tasted very concentrated and one dimensional. Anyways love yardhouse, and a walk around the lake or target afterwards will be the perfect end to your evening.

Sliders + fries were really good - perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The portion size was just right for a quick bite or sharing with friends. Ashanti at the bar was incredibly helpful and welcoming. She made great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. Great service and solid food - will definitely be back!

Yard House has been the greatest find as a vegan with a 1 year old. The menu is amazing, the staff is so accommodating to my baby, and my husband and I have yet to have a less than 5-star experience here. Our favorite time to go to Yard House is on Sunday mornings at 11am. The manager on duty is so unbelievably kind to my daughter. I hope she is appropriately recognized for going above and beyond in making the guests feel welcomed and attended to. My daughter sits in a highchair, and the manager moved out a piece on the floor of the table to help make sure my daughter was as close as possible to the table and had an easier time reaching her food. She also offered to bring avocado slices or a little snack from the kitchen for my daughter to enjoy. She was so attentive to our family. I usually feel nervous bringing my daughter to a business and this manager made us feel welcome to come back again and again. I thank her kindness and hospitality so much! All the employees in general are so kind to my daughter and have made it clear Yard House is a family friendly business. My husband and I cannot believe how vegan friendly the menu is! We also love that they have a touchscreen menu at each table which has an option to only highlight vegan items. We use that to when making our orders to ensure we do not forget to ask for a sauce to not be included and get everything right. Our favorite thing to order is the Gardein wings with buffalo sauce and no ranch. The sauce is spicy, the portion size is great, and the wings are cooked perfectly! We also get an order of fries on the side which we share with my daughter. The newest vegan item that we tried are Gardein nachos with vegan cheese! These nachos are FANTASTIC! They are so flavorful, the portion size is more than enough to share between 2 people, and the cheese melts perfectly. This item is not on the vegan menu and the Chef was happy to custom make this item for us. We are so happy to have a family tradition of visiting Yard House on Sundays. It is the perfect treat after climbing at Sportrock and the whole family has a great time.

Took my Mom to lunch at Yard House - nice outdoor seating options with a view of the Rio lake/fountain and the interior is large and spacious and has about 30 stools at the bar with plenty of TV's inside and on their patio as well. I had the Thai Pork Chop which was amazing and it came with Cauliflower Rice and vegetable medley - very healthy and tasty. The spicy honey sauce on the side was delicious. My Mom got a Cheeseburger with Fries and it came with a salty smoky super yummy Soy Aioli type sauce which we got on the side and I used it vs mustard on her Fries - super good as was the Burger & Fries. Waitress was wonderful and the menu is vast - Yard House does an excellent job in putting accurate photos of every dish on their website.

I visited here last night for a quick dinner . And must I say the dinner was good . I had the jambalaya and oh my was it delicious . I had to force myself not to eat the whole thing so I could have some for lunch the next day . It was busy in there but I managed to find seating at the bar. I will be coming back

Yard House is always consistent and always good environment...has a huge wrap around bar with plenty of seating and TVs. The menu is a little bit like a Cheesecake Factory menu so come with any appetite there's something available for you. A beer list a mile long so bring your picky friends to find something they will like...

Great Happy hour from 3:30 to 6 Monday-Friday. Half of select apps and all pizzas. $2 off beer, wine, spirits and cocktails. Good selection of local beers on tap. Great poke nachos. Had the poke salad which was light but satisfying.

The service was efficient, came during lunch hour so it was not packed yet but when it was time to leave the restaurant was quite busy. I had the steak bowl and it was somewhat greasy, not sure if it was from the fried sesame rice but they could have used less oil in my opinion. I also got Med rare and it was cooked to order and indeed was what I asked for. Overall a chill Saturday but I heard it does get quite busy in the evenings, good luck with finding parking! Good thing there is a additional parking at the garage passing Uncle Julio's.

Steak bowl, chips & queso, and cheese curds were delicious and expertly crafted. Our server Marlin was awesome and kind and helped my friend get a rush on his pizza for carry out so he didnt get stuck in traffic. Thankful for her service. Will return.

I would say if you're going to hang out with friends or watch a game, this is a great spot. Lots of space. Plenty of room to socialize. However the food? It's your average if not below average bar food. Service is always great though!

Our family came here on Saturday night. This place is very crowded. We were on the waiting list and waited for more than 1 hour to have a table. The food is quite delicious and the cooking time is very fast. Our family loves the appetizers here. Friendly and fast service. Next time I will come on weekdays to enjoy the restaurant food.

First off the service was impeccable. I apologize for not remembering our servers name but he stayed on top of everything despite it being quite busy. Always made sure our drinks were refilled and refreshing as well. Now the food was something else to me because I see this place only has a 3.5 rating. We ordered bone in wings as an app and my mom ordered the salad and both were amazing. The wings were breaded, fried, and sauce to perfection (we ordered the Thai chili garlic and buffalo wings) and the salad dressing was light and strong and very much complimented the greens. Our entree's obviously did not disappoint either. I got the whiskey glaze burger was cooked exactly to my liking and my mother heavily enjoyed the red sauced penne. Overall we had an amazing time and were stunned by the food. Wish it has more stars!

Check in was a breeze since I joined the waiting line via the website I started off with a refreshing Moscow mule that really hit the spot after taking the kids to the playground and the carousel. Next up was an onion ring tower. Respectfully, that was punished while watching the Baltimore Orioles punishing the Philly Phillies 8-3. I, next, indulged in a Cali World Stack, which was crispy crab, avocado, cucumber California sushi roll, The glaze that it came with was a bit sweet. Sesame Crusted Ahi tuna was a seared tuna roll with broccoli and sticky rice. All of the seafood was fresh and yummy. The service was great and all of the food came out quickly and timely

Went to yard house since it's in walking distance from where I live and I was pretty satisfied! In my opinion the best food/drinks for a sports style bar! We tried the firecracker shrimp as an appetizer & it was delicious! The crispy rice really made it a 10/10. We also tried the chicken tenders and sweet potato pancakes. Which I was skeptical about at first but the pancakes had more of a cinnamon taste that was pretty good! They fell apart a tiny bit but thats just the nature of a potato pancake. Overall will definitely go back to enjoy drinks & watch our big sporting events!

It's worth going for happy hour, but other than that I would probably go somewhere else. The food is average and the menu offers a wide variety of dishes to choose from. The restaurant can get crowded pretty quick so you may have to wait sometimes to be seated. The dish I would recommend is the whisky aged white cheddar hamburger.

Long story short: Give Timothy a RAISE! Went here the day before Mothers Day. It was so busy. Wait was close to an hour but worth it. Even with the place being extremely busy, Timothy was personable and accommodating. From wiping our chairs out, not forgetting anything we asked, and providing top tier service, me and my family were super happy. Sometimes when places are busy, the service or food are lackluster. Both were amazing. Would 100% come back. Ordered the calamari, chicken nachos, and bbq bacon burger. Family had jambalaya and the whiskey salmon.

The food was unbelievably good! Ordered the whiskey & aged white cheddar burger and it was cooked to the absolute perfect medium as requested, despite the restaurant being incredibly busy. Service was pretty good, given how crazy it was. I'd absolutely go back!

OK so I've seen the mixed reviews and I have to say that while the food isn't 10 x 10 our server was five stars plus. NAN was absolutely outstanding and made the evenings experience fantastic. He was great on the suggestions for appetizers and dinner and even remembered to suggest a big rock with my Bourbon. The place is super crowded on Fridays, but if you use the web and get in line, it works great. It told us 45 to 55 minutes and it was spot on. We had the steak bowl and the jambalaya with Jasmine rice... Both excellent choices. The beer selection is outstanding. And will add this to our Friday night list.

I will still rave about how good of a deal the Yard House Happy Hour menu is. I went again with my parents and got the tuna poke nachos, blackened ahi, margarita pizza, margarita, soup and two ice teas and our total was less than $30 (before tip). I had a coupon that Yard House sent me for signing up for their free rewards program that gave me one free app. It was busy yesterday but our server still did a great job and making sure everything came out great and everything was good. Very much recommend. Parking at this location can be tricky to get a spot since they fill up quick.

Yummy yummy food that's made even more yummylicious by the generous 1/2 priced apps Happy Hour deal from 3 -6 pm every Mon - Fri. Perfect for an afternoon hunger craving or just an early dinner. Service is great, and the atmosphere is hoppy (a reference to hops, a key ingredient to make beer, in case you didn't know ). Time to roll up those sleeves and nom nom nom!

This place is great for group gatherings as it's very spacious with large table settings and booths throughout. They have an outdoor patio, fire pit and ample tvs for sports enthusiasts. The happy hour is available anywhere in the venue (not just the bar). The portion sizes are great even on happy hour. The jambalaya is flavorful and you can swap the rice for cauliflower. The Mediterranean salmon needs a sauce but is cooked well with a hearty portion of kale/quinoa. The whiskey maple salmon is sweet with the whiskey aftertaste which works for me but way a bit strong for some. The Brussels are crisp and tasty, just a touch of spice. The sliders get the job done but the upgrade to sweet potato fries wasn't a good move. The sweet potato fries were soggy. Overall a good experience with enough options to explore to find your preferred selections.

Yard House was one of the first restaurants I tried after moving to the area, and it quickly became a go-to spot. It's always packed--and for good reason. The energy is vibrant, the service is top-tier, and the food never disappoints. I highly recommend making a reservation, especially on busy nights. Their menu has something for everyone, and the drinks are absolutely next-level. I usually order the Caesar salad, wings, and fries (always a hit), but the lobster pasta is another standout--flavorful, generous with the lobster, and well-priced. We've consistently had wonderful servers who are kind, attentive, and personable, even during peak hours. We always leave happy--and tipping extra generously!

I have only gone for Happy Hour and ordered most of the items on the Happy Hour Menu. Food was great with a variety of options. Big fan of the Mahi Mahi Nachos. Some drinks are also included in this pricing. Great spot to watch a game, hang out or catch up with friends. Kinda on the loud side so do not recommend a date here. Large seating areas, both inside and outside. Staff was very friendly and responsive. Worth it if you are in the area!

I been here several times. The food &drinks never disappoints. Service is always good, and it's a nice establishment/ambiance whether you eat inside or outside.

Very busy and limited parking so you can try to park at the dicks lot or the one across from the hotel then walk over. HH deals are very good and big portions but you get what you pay for. Low prices = low quality. Dont get the cheese curd they were not even warm. You can look at my picture and tell theyre unappetizing. Buffalo chicken pizza was all bread. The calamari was decent wont complain there. The chicken tender and nachos were good. If you like sour beers the hilly billy sour will make you pucker if they still carry it when you go. Easy to order with the digital machine. No need to wait on servers. Easy to split bill too.

Food is always exactly as indicated on menu. Seasoned well and served hot. Quick and friendly service. Good atmosphere. Gets busy on Saturday night but service was very good. Waiter was attentive and friendly.

I've become more and more of a regular at Yardhouse because of their happy hour deals. They have a nice selection of drinks (beers, cocktails l, mojitos, etc) to choose from and they're all great.

Came here for a big game and it was the perfect choice. We arrived early enough to snag a table for a large party and we couldn't be happier. Alexis was our server and she was the absolute best. I ordered the cali roll stack lemon pepper wings and mexican mules what a great spot to watch a game, enjoy drinks and good food with friends!!

Great service, delicious food. I and my friends get together during happy hours on Monday evening, super packed!! There were lot of choices on happy hour menus and drinks, I got onion rings, tuna nachos, and sweet potato fries. My drink was super refreshing. All are my favorite. Service was super fast and friendly. Will come back for game day!

Nice place to sit outside on a nice evening. Food was good. Service fine. Location is the best part.

Ordered a bunch of dishes for takeout and overall the food was okay with nothing being a standout item. We ordered the spicy jambalaya, chicken wings, truffle burger, sliders, fried calamari, seared ahi tuna, vampire taco, and the korean beef taco. The best items were the spicy jambalaya and the chicken wings, and my least favorite items were the tacos. Both the tacos were drenched in so much sauce and the vampire taco was really salty. I ate 1/4 of the truffle burger and felt like that portion was enough - it was good, but probably the greasiest and heaviest burger I've ever eaten. Service was polite, they actually called me twice to let us know our order was ready and to make sure we came to pick it up. Even though we had a to-go order, the ambiance inside the restaurant looked nice and the parking lot was packed with diners even during a winter storm!

Yard house is always a great time! The cocktail list is extensive with something for everyone. The lavender drop is so pretty and so delicious. The poke nachos tasted great and was definitely a crowd pleaser. Our party god the turkey club, which was good but had a lot of bread in it which fills you up fast. The pineapple chicken portion was big and it is my friend's favorite dish at Yard House. I got the grilled chicken which had Swiss and avocado on it, it definitely hit the spot. The bar here is large and wraps around. There is patio seating outside overlooking the water, and they have booths and a dining area as well. We will be back!

We had great food and excellent service from our waitress. Our meals were well prepared we enjoyed them both. Apps were great as were drinks. The reason for the 4 vs 5 stars is when we checked in no one asked whether we would eat outside or inside. It was 100 degrees outside. We are old no we are not going to eat outside or in the area with just fans. When our table was ready the unfriendly host took us to the area with the fans, we said no thank you. Clearly the hostess was annoyed and walked back with an annoyance. We were only two people we were willing to wait no problem. To be treated like we did something wrong when we did not is something that host needs to work on. First world problems but yelp is here for us to express our frustration. Everyone else at the hostess stand was great. The person who took us to our table maybe was just having a bad day or they should not be working as a hostess.

Dani is always a great waitress to have. She's been my server since yard house opened and she remembers her regular. Thank you for the great service and great time. I'm subtracting one star just because a server with the tag "Raul" was bussing the table next to us and set the dirty plates on our tables to stack. Just said "sorry" and walked away. Not only was this disrespectful but very unsanitary. Again. Thank you to Dani for great service. Love you always

Great food! Great service. Unfortunately, music is very loud. We love the menu choices and are so happy that there are gluten-free selections. Will be going back the next time that we are in the area.

My friends and I went to Happy Hour! Food was very good. Wait staff super nice and attentive. Their French Fries are amazing so flavorful. I love this Restaurant. Go during happy hour the Ambiance is great. Be prepared to wait the lines are always long, but well worth it! See you there!

Went there for my graduation dinner with my family. We all approved their food! They provided us a waitress that knows asl and we appreciate that worker. They also surprised me with a congrats dessert! Definitely a nice place.

I did to-go poke nachos and was CHEATED. I waited 40 minutes for 10 chips. I'm not mad, just disappointed.

I love this place. Good food good serving good value.it's located by the lake side. I am enjoying sit out door during the summer.

Thursday 4/25/2024 I've known about yard house for a while but never made a visit until today. They have a dine-in only happy hour from 3-6 pm during Monday through Friday and that's exactly when I went. The spot has cool vibes & ambiance that reminds me of sports bar type of vibe or a friends night out vibe. For my first visit, we got plenty of their happy hour items and some of their popular reviewed items: - HH BONELESS WINGS (1/2 Korean & 1/2 whiskey) $6.99 * rating: 5.5/10 for Korean & 6.9/10 for whiskey, the whiskey is the best flavor of all flavors that I had but the chicken is just alright. - HH CLASSIC SLIDERS $6.74 * rating: 4/10, didn't like them at all - HH FRIED CHICKEN TENDERS $6.74 * rating: 5/10, the chicken is okay but the fries need seasoning - HH BBQ CHICEKN PIZZA $8.25 * rating: 7.6/10, thin pizza but it's pretty solid - TRADITIONAL WINGS (1/2 bbq & 1/2 lemon pepper) $15 * rating: 6/10 for bbq & 2.8/10 for lemon pepper, the lemon pepper wings were BAD and they didn't even taste like lemon pepper at all - MAUI PINEAPPLE CHICKEN $22 * rating: 7/10, decent dish but it's nothing special - JAMBALAYA (PASTA) $21 * rating: 7.7/10, surprised to say that this was probably my favorite dish and it's definitely something I'd get again. - BREAD PUDDING $10 * rating: 6.8/10, I've had plenty of bread pudding better but it's not bad. - OREO BROOKIE $10 * rating: 6.7/10, it was decent but I wouldn't get it again. All in all, the food ranges from decent to below average (especially their happy hour items) but the food experience was mid. I'd say this spot is more known for its ambiance and vibes rather than its food.

I go to this location often for HH. Their HH menu is the best. I also had sliders and boneless wings but I ate them before I could snap a photo lol. They have the best boneless wings. The watermelon margarita was amazing.
