I am not a huge chain person and prefer to shop and eat local. However, I've been curious about YH being the newcomer to Crocker Park.
A friend and me stopped during our holiday shopping tonight. The wait wasn't bad, about 20 minutes. We were seated in a booth close to the bar, but it seems all tables are close to the bar.
It is very loud so would not recommend if you wanted to have quiet conversation. The beer list is extensive so if you are a beer lover this is the place for you.
The food is good, but nothing special. I was expecting more after reading reviews. Our server Mikaela, was attentive and offered some great beer options as well as her favorites for food. The brussels sprouts and potatoes she recommended were very tasty and I would order again. The chicken tortilla soup was good, but a bit spicy, plenty of chicken though. My friend got the ribs with creamed corn and she said, again, they were nothing special.
I would return if shopping in the area and was hungry and thirsty for a good beer, but not sure I would go out of my way to eat there again. I just am not a fan of that "chain" feel.
