My work friends came for happy hour which coincidentally fell on Cinco de Mayo. We had planned this weeks ago. I made reservations for a party of 10 for 4:30 and was informed that at least five of us had to be present before we could be seated. When we arrived it took a few minutes as my party didn't arrive on time and our table was still occupied.
The restaurant was packed as you can imagine. There were people seated inside, on the outdoor patio, and the "sunroom" with retractable garage doors.
Select apps and all pizzas are 1/2 off from 3-6pm on Monday-Fridays. Also, get $2 off draft beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails, $3 off 9 oz wine, and $4 off half yards. A perk of dining here is that their happy hour menu applies to seating anywhere within the restaurant. This makes Yard House much more appealing and preferable for happy hour over other restaurants that require you to be at the bar.
My friends and I ordered drinks and apps. I normally don't drink, but decided to be adventurous and ordered a pina colada. It's not on the menu, but they made it for me. Lesson learned that it never hurts to ask! I also ordered the Lemon Pepper Boneless Wings and a side of Sweet Potato Fries. The pina colada was delicious - sweet, flavorful, and refreshing. The fries came with a ramekin of maple syrup. I've never had it with syrup before and it paired well the fries. The wings were great too. My friend ordered it as well and said it was the best lemon pepper wings she's ever had.
Our server was great, but it was convenient to have a tablet at the table to place orders or pay the tab. Parking is limited. My friends found a space, but I had to park in the garage. They said that there is a two-hour limit in the lot, however, I am doubtful anyone is patrolling or enforcing it.
The only downside of my experience, which my friends concurred with is that it was loud and hard to hear. Other than that, we had an enjoyable evening on Cinco de Mayo.
