It's chain restaurant, which I generally eschew in favor local businesses. But close to where my friends office is so we meet there for drinks and snacks. I've not had a dinner here at Desert Ridge, I ate a Yard House in California and. In Vegas for business dinners with groups. and it was like driving a nice Honda Accord, not a bad ride, but not a BMW experience. They are a chain and have a business model not like local owners who live and thrive on making the folks happy because it's their living, not a job. But enough about shop local.
I suppose if you like the yard house in Arizona you will like them in their dozens of restaurants across the country. They are kind of like OliveGarden on steroids. If I took my wife there for our anniversary she would melt down,and divorce me. I mean, if I had a wife. I basing this on former wives
But Now the GREAT thing about the yard house, at least happy hour.... They have some gardein vegan options which I like. And my friend who is a carnivore always is amazed how good they taste. "Wow, this tastes like chicken!"
So kudos for Yard House realizing there is a market for vegetarians and vegans to enjoy some food with their beer
Good place to meet after work and choose from dozens of beers on tap. And vegan options!
