We came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch, and I was extremely underwhelmed. I have been to other Yard Houses before (love the ahi crunchy salad), but the food and service at the Scottsdale location was disappointing. They have a ton of solid beers to choose from, and we also tried a few of their cocktails, but they all ended up being extremely sweet.
We decided to share a bunch of appetizers: crab cakes, egg rolls, coconut shrimp, lettuce wraps, and the tuna roll. The tuna roll and egg rolls were just ok, but the coconut shrimp tasted similar to fried chicken (and not a good kind of fried chicken). It just didn't seem right. Our server may have been having a bad or slow day, but she didn't seem interested in providing a good experience for us; she walked away while we were deciding what we wanted and asking questions about the menu.
