I must say, I was impressed with this Yard House. I wasn't fond when I went in Raleigh, but we had limited options on Christmas Day after hiking at Red Rocks. The place was packed and they had a 40 minute wait for lunch.
Once we were seated, our fantastic waitress brought us waters and offered some suggestions on the menu. We started with the chicken tender appetizer and I got a barbecue chicken salad for lunch. I went for the small size which was still way too big. Note to others: do not get the regular size unless you're planning on eating it for 3 meals straight. Seriously.
The chicken tenders hit the spot--not overbreaded and still had some flavor. My salad I didn't enjoy quite as much, but it certainly wasn't bad. It had a good portion of chicken along with lots of other fix ins that made it truly a barbecue chicken salad instead of a salad with chicken and barbecue sauce.
We also split a brownie for dessert. It was way too hot but still excellent and a good way to finish a good meal.
Again, our waitress was fantastic and on top of everything. Food was good, service was good, atmosphere was good. I was impressed.
