| - I'd have to say variety accounts for most of the appeal of Yard House..
They have by far the largest draft beer selection of anywhere I've ever seen, available in a variety of glass sizes. Pair that with an overwhelming selection of interesting items and you have a menu full of food and drink that will appeal to everyone.
This makes Yard House an ideal place for large parties and group gatherings. It might not amaze everyone, but all are pleased with the amount of choices available.
I've had some great food at YH locations and some very forgettable meals. So while the menu is extensive and generally very appealing, not everything is great.
The location at Red Rock is a pretty good one. It's conveniently located and usually not too busy. The restaurant usually appears full but I've never had to wait for a table.
The beer selection is stellar, but tonight, both my pints (grapefruit sculpin and victory IPA) came out lightly chilled. I don't know about you, but I like my beer as cold as it can get before crystallizing. I know restaurants never serve beer that incredibly cold, but a place meant for beer should at least serve their beer cold enough to be called cold. Just a little disappointing to pay $7.50 for a nearly warm pint.
The food was kinda off tonight too. I got blackened swordfish tacos, which were a little salty, but pretty good. I usually have a burger here and I think I'll probably stick to their sandwiches from now on. My wife tried a BBQ chicken pizza and it just seemed very uninspired. It was served warm, cheese had no flavor, sauce was way too sweet.. She only had a slice.
I recommend their appetizers and beer highly, though. If you can make it during happy hour, this place is great!
