| - First time at the Yard House. I was skeptical, a chain restaurant located in fake suburban downtown AKA known as Crocker Park. When we arrived, there was a 60-70 minute wait, & we were lucky to find two seats at the bar while we waited for our table. It was extremely busy, it was a Saturday night, but the place is so spacious, you didn't feel packed in like cattle. A bartender greeted us immediately & gave us beer menus. With over 100+ taps, the craft beer selection is solid. There's always some worry places with that broad of a selection don't rotate their handles, beer is old & skunked, etc. That was not the case. I had a Clown Shoes Space Cake which was super fresh. The wait was less than an hour, & once seated, our knowledgeable server was by right away. Have the deviled eggs! They were stunning with bacon & a sweet tomato chili sauce. The cheese curd, jerk wings, & coconut shrimp were also cooked to perfection. Our group enjoyed every last bite. For dinner I had the Southern Fried boneless chicken breast with creamed corn, bbq beans, spinach mashed potatoes, and bourbon gravy. One of of the best things I've ever eaten. Crispy chicken, the creamed corn was like crack. The mashed potatoes were creamy & decedent. My only complaint were the beans were slightly hard. For someone who had planned to be disappointed by another craft beer chain, Yard House was absolutely amazing. We willing definitely be back!
