| - The last night I was in Vegas my friends and I spent several hours shopping. By about 9:00pm it had been a long time since any of us had eaten, and we were getting very hangry. We were struggling to decide on a restaurant, and ended up going to Yard House by default: there was no line or wait, and it was right in front of us. I don't think I would have chosen it otherwise as I try to avoid chains. It's basically a slightly more upscale bar. They carry about a million (okay, honestly like 50?) beers on tap, and their bar is basically the whole centerpiece of the space. The food style is pretty much your basic American, maybe leaning a bit toward comfort food/(not fancy) steakhouse.
When we entered we were immediately greeted by the hostess, and brought to a pub table. Not my favorite, but we weren't going to complain, we just needed to eat. They were also surprisingly super busy, and there weren't any booths (my preference) open anyways. Within a few minutes a waiter came by and took our drink order, returning shortly thereafter for our food choices. We went with the following:
Cheeseburger and truffle fries-I didn't try the cheeseburger (my friend loved it), but they were very generous with the fries, which were thin, crispy, hot, and DELICIOUS.
Steak Salad-My friend ordered this and did not care for it. She felt like the steak was chewy, not a quality cut or cooked well, and that the salad was very oily. It did seem like it was drenched in dressing. The various vegetables and toppings were colorful and appealing, so if you are interested in trying this maybe dressing on the side is the way to go?
Blue Crab Cakes-Featured two small-ish crab cakes, the cakes themselves almost completely crab, but then breaded and fried. I've never had crab cakes this way, but I was into it. The passionfruit sauce and tropical fruit salsa both complimented the crab perfectly.
Kale Caesar Salad-They offer a plain Caesar, and this one, which is maybe a dollar more. I expected it to consist of kale entirely, but it was maybe 2/3 romaine and 1/3 kale. Still, a nice basic salad. Not too much dressing, and I really liked the larger shavings of parmesan. I ordered the smaller size, and along with the crab cakes it was a well portioned dinner.
Prices, especially for Vegas, were decent at around $12-$20ish for entrees. Our server was a bit odd, but not unfriendly. He checked on us often, so no complaints. This wasn't the best meal ever, but it was surprisingly good, and I'd visit again, although probably wouldn't go out of my way for it.
