I won't lie- I love the Yardhouse. They have an amazing selection of beer and one of the best burgers you can get at a chain restaurant. The prices are a bit higher but so is the quality.
But I must take away some stars for their reservation policy. My husband loves The Yardhouse, so 2 of his birthday dinners have now been held there. Despite having over 10 people they still refuse to accept a reservation or even allow call ahead. The night we went there was no hockey game or event but with the Superbowl around the corner- Westgate was busier than usual. We arrived 45 minutes before the rest of the party did and we were still quoted an hour and a half wait time.
Previous reviews were right about the small bar area- it makes it very hard to waste your wait time there, and while the patio is nice I wish it had more space to accommodate people waiting for a table with beverage in hand.
