Go for Happy Hour or when a Canadian or Chicago hockey team is in town.
Do not expect great service, as they seem to have either high turnover, or are just lacking in hiring those with a sense of urgency and/or awareness.
The prime reason I make Yard House a priority on happy hour outings are the Lettuce Wraps ($6-ish from 3-6pm).
Overall it's a middling place in a competitive area for restaurants so I usually do the big meals elsewhere.
