We visited Yard House for the first time a couple weeks ago and returned last night. We really love this place. It's a national chain owned by Darden group. However, it feels like a local place. Why? The people. Everyone we dealt with, from hosts...to servers has been super friendly. Despite being busy, they have all taken the time to chat with us, discuss drink and food options, and just make us feel welcomed. We are moving to Arizona next month. We looked for a location there. It is further than we like, but we will definitely visit. The food is good. There is beer for any taste. Speaking of taste, don't be shy about asking for a taste of beers that sound interesting. They are happy to accommodate.More
