I've been to many different Yardhouse locations. This was my 2nd visit to this location in Sarasota. I have to say it's consistent between all. I compare it to Cheesecake Factory. The menu is huge and there is something available for everyone and anyone, including picky eaters! Always great for a large group. The service is always on point. This visit we were 3 and shared the Chicken Nacho Platter which is absolutely delicious! For dinner I had the Orange Chicken which is a favorite of mine. Yard House is open late which is always a plus. They have a huge bar and an extensive drink & beer menu. Lots of seating as well as a nice patio with heaters. The one thing I will mention about Yard House is that it is always noisy! Also, it's extremely noisy when sporting events are on the TV's!

My dad and I had the best time at Yard House yesterday. We went during happy hour so we got to enjoy some appetizers- the cheese curds and Brussels sprouts were some of the best I've ever had. And I've had a lot :) Our server, Chadwick, was kind and knowledgeable of the offerings. He recommended food for us and we both enjoyed it immensely. He also had such a cool Mohawk, lots of personality. I had such a nice time trying a place that was one of my dad's favorites.

First and foremost the service... we had Chadwick as our server. He made an everyday trip to a restaurant something special. He memorized every body's order and did something special for my daughter and made our lunch fun and a great experience. The food and drinks were just the icing on the cake but was also very good. Thank you Chadwick! We will be sending our friends to ask for you

First time sitting outside. Service was good as usual and food was delicious. We had salmon, burger, appetizers, martinis and mojitos. Everything went smoothly. It was a party of 6. Thankfully we didn't have a long wait. Like most restaurants round UTC, It gets very busy round here. They had fans blowing to keep outdoors cool. However, In Florida, during the summer, we should've known better. Lesson learned. Highly recommend yard house.

Came here on a Tuesday evening for dinner with friends. Parking was easy and the lot is right out front. We came inside and were seated right away in a booth in the bar area right away. The price is a little high for the alcohol, however the food is priced competitively for a main dish and side as well as appetizers. We ordered edemame and Miguel's queso was really good, especially the tortillas added with the chips for the queso. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was flavorful and the truffle fries were out of this world! Service was a little slow especially being after the dinner rush. The bathrooms were clean and there were plenty of stalls. Easy to locate as well.

My husband and I love to go to the Yard House! Close to our home and great ambiance for me and the hubby gets his ! Great appetizers and food

My experience was awesome here. Good food, good drinks, and great service! I have the lemon pepper wings and they were so crispy and seasoned well. I also had the Cobb salad with salmon and it was super good. The house beer selection is great. The restaurant is big and nice. Laid back. Overall i will return.

We had a great experience here for lunch! Our server was incredibly kind and insightful. He suggested a house lager that was fantastic and also suggested we get burgers. Both were great choices. The burgers were delicious, fresh, and cooked perfectly. Fries were hot and the truffle fries were a nice addition. Interior is dark and has a bit of an elevated sport pub vibe. They were playing 70s hits so the vibe was on point!

I think Yard House is a very solid choice all around in you're around this mall. I went two days in a row because I was in from out of town meeting people and had such a positive experience the first time around. Service was excellent both times even though the place was raging and I had to wait about a half hour both times for a two-person table. They seemed to be well staffed and both servers weee very friendly and efficient. Beer list isn't a mile long. Went with IPA recommendations both times and was not disappointed. Loved that they had a lot of size choices for beer. Food was good and reasonably priced. Chicken sandwich the first night and it was a bit under-seasoned. Second night tried the steak bowl and thought it was great. Very fresh and light despite the steak. The place itself was welcoming and inviting. Lively party atmosphere with noise to match. I don't care about that but beware if you do.
