| - First and LAST time I'll ever go to Yard House
I went on a Monday night around 7:45 pm, the wait wasn't bad 10-15 minutes or so. The restaurant also wasn't super busy and our host even said that this was nothing compared to weekends. Our server was a woman who as she was taking our drink orders, said she was leaving and bringing another guy over to take care of us because she was being cut. That's fine and they said they were slow so i understood. The drinks were extremely syrupy and flat so I switched to water. The guy server was probably the least interactive and slowest waiter I've ever had. He was polite but we wouldn't see him for 10-15 minutes at a time. We had to flag him down for refills or sugar for tea. My table ordered spinach and artichoke dip as an appetizer and we were thrown off by the plate. It was like 10 pita chips with Parmesan cheese on the chips with a bowl of warm spinach. I felt like I was eating straight up soggy greens. I ordered the grilled chicken avocado sandwich and a cup of tortilla soup. The soup was good but the sandwich was incredibly plain, messy, and tasted charred. I only at about 1/3 of the sandwich and didn't bother taking the left overs home. My friends got burgers and a French dip, they said it was alright but definitely not worth $13-$17. It took ages to get our checks. I've never paid $40 bucks for a messy sandwich, water, and dip before so I was really annoyed at the price considering the taste and service, but whatever. I didn't have the exact amount so I paid with larger bills expecting my change back. The server came back and didn't even acknowledge me and only handed my friends their check because they paid with card. I felt too awkward to ask for my change back. I had planned on tipping him the standard percentage which would've been more than what he kept. I thought it was rude that he didn't bother asking but i didn't wanna cause a scene. I felt like if I was an older posh woman he wouldn't have been so hasty with the service. I didn't feel welcome from the get go and I definitely didn't feel good leaving.
Bleh food, poor service, weird music, fix your soda carbonation.
