Yard House was closed by after the Easter Eggs Hunt at Mission Valley in San Diego. Since it was early before the lunch crowd got in, this spacious restaurant was mostly empty so we were seated immediately. It’s modern, clean and casual, low light but warm and welcoming ambiance and there are TV screens everywhere for sports fans with interior only seating in booths, tables and at the bar. We had young kids with us for this outing so we ordered French fries for them right away so kids had food to eat while the adults reviewed the extensive menu. We ordered a few dishes and appetizers but our food didn’t come to our table for nearly 20 minutes so we flagged down the waiter to inquire. He said our order that he placed via a tablet on the table didn’t go through for some reasons and so he had to reorder again. The waiter didn’t seem to care to be working at the Yard House today at all, low energy and not apologetic for the mistake and offered no compensation for his mistake. The restaurant was nearly empty when we were seated so he was not slammed at all. Our group had many conflict avoidance adults so no one wanted to escalate the situation to the management. We ordered the poke nacho which had a very generous amount of the marinated ahi poke, with savory seaweeds, cilantro and chopped scallions and sliced Serrano peppers and nachos. The sweet potato fries was made without meat or stock from animal and had a nice crunchy exterior texture and yet not overly fried. The fried calamari with two dipping sauces was delicious. The mediterranean salmon za’atar crusted with cauliflower rice, red quinoa tabbouleh and kale, baby tomatoes and spicy tahini sauce was filling and tasty and low calories. The spicy jambalaya had blackened shrimp, andouille sausage, crawfish, chicken, roasted poblano peppers, cajun cream sauce with linguini was spot on with the level of spice, plenty of seafood and noodles, even a picky kid in our group asked for second servicing. Overall food was delicious, large portion, fair price point, and creative with a trendy vibe so despite the disappointed service, we will definitely be back for their happy hour deal. Restaurant is family friendly and offers a huge list of appetizers Monday through Friday from 3pm to 6pm and again after 10pm to closing. Parking was easy as there are plenty of spaces for free in the huge parking lot underneath the Mission Valley shopping mall, which is currently being renovated.

“Great spot in the mall with an insane beer selection—over 100 drafts to choose from! The food was solid: Service was friendly and efficient during our visit. A bit loud and busy, but perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. Solid chain execution. Would return!”

Yard House is a big American sports-bar chain with plenty of seating, but it still gets very busy. There are lots of options for both food and drinks, which is great. I had the cheeseburger and enjoyed it, although I wish it came with tomato and lettuce as well. Overall, a solid spot for casual dining.

It's my first time I'm here and I absolutely love it. I had the bacon and blue cheese burger and my god is it so tasty and juicy I asked for the Parmesan truffle fries instead of the regular fries and they are having me drooling with every bite. The mojitos are out of this world fabby who is the bartender that's waiting on me goes above and beyond to give you service that you deserve.

Cassidy was great! Came around often to check up on us. The food was delicious and the drinks were hitting. Really great service and a great way to end mothers day after cooking under the sun at SeaWorld 😂
