    I appreciate an organized hostess station that over estimates that wait time. It starts off the experience honest and shows confidence in their total experience. And it’s nice to be expecting a 20 minute wait and when you’ve only been waiting 10 minutes and the buzzer goes off, you’re actually excited. The food was quite good but again the staff was the shining point for us. Savannah was fun and attentive.

    Great atmosphere, food, and service. Our server was Shelby and she was very sweet and attentive. Our little one fell asleep and she helped boxed everything up for us so we could quickly get him back to the hotel. I ordered the shrimp noodles and hubby got the classic cheeseburger. Both were DELICIOUS.

    Visiting the area, my family and I were pleased with our experience at Yard House. I highly recommend everyone order an appetizer (or appetizers) when they visit, they are amazing!!! We got Chicken Nachos, which were very unique and delicious; Four Cheese Spinach Dip, which came with both pita bread and chips… amazing!; and The Onion Ring Tower, which was my favorite (especially the Chipotle Ranch sauce)! The main food was good - my favorite being the Lobster Garlic Noodles, which was packed with flavor. As for the other dishes at the table, the “[MAC + CHEESE]2” was good; the ribeye was great, and the Maui Pineapple Chicken was tasty. Each dish was filled with a good portion of food. Overall, Yard House is a great place for dinner when in the area!

    Food is good. Drinks take forever. Dont know why bar Drinks take around 15 minutes when it's beer on tap? I think you could train a monkey to do that. Probably could've drank 3 beers in the time it took to get one. Buzz kill

    This is one of the best places I've gone during the trip. So much so, that I went back a few times! Outstanding beer, food, and service. The only downside is the long wait for a table, which was on average 45 minutes. So plan ahead! Or sit at the massive bar, which was great too. I'll be back again, for sure. Vampire tacos and tortilla soup for the win!

    We were looking for a place with vegan options and we found a good one, Yard House. The menu had a selection of items based on Gardein products. The staff was knowledgeable about veganism. They told us that cross contamination could be an issue. We were okay with that, our practical veganism is based on what we actually eat, or pay for. They have an electronic device at the tables that displays specific vegan options from the menu.

    Been here a couple of times now and the food is consistently delicious. The servers have a wealth of knowledge and recommendations from appetizers to main dishes down to yummy drinks. And the ambience is really chill. We love coming here. It is definitely worth the wait to dine eat and eat your food freshly made.

    Yo, this place is a top spot on my list. The wait was a bit long but worth it. I had the Korean rib eye steak and my girlfriend had the garlic lobster noodles. My steak was bursting with yummy goodness. My taste buds were in heaven. The steak was tender and I had mine cooked at medium-well. They hit it out of the park. 2 thumbs up for me. Good music, good service, people were happy around us and I'll definately be back.

    An absolutely huge selection of beers on tap, including local, imports and the usual suspects. I was delighted to be able to taste a great IPA from the Big Island. Also, the food is excellent and they have a great happy hour special.

    Food is amazing. Beer selection is very good. There is a tablet type device that allows you to explore the menu as well as order *some* items. It is a bit odd that way as it is new to me. It did allow us to order appetizers quicker than we would have at a very busy place. I guess they are a victim of their own success. I would 100% visit again.

    Good Food Great atmosphere. A little wait to be seated but the front staff is organized and efficient with gwtting you seated. Huge menu of diffetent selections to choose from. Food quality is good and worth the cost. Server was very nice but it took a while to get her service as she was extremely busy between tables. We stopped other servers along their way to order more.

    There is a wait to get in but well worth it and lots of shops near by to walk through while you wait. The wait was shorter than we expected. Four adults shared the Spicy Jambalaya, Spicy Beef Garlic Noodles and two Kale & Romaine Caesar Salads. Portions are large and very shareable. All plates were delicious and flavoured very well. Server was great and accommodating. There are TV’s with sports on and some long tables in the back for larger parties. A little too loud in the back for us so we moved more towards the entrance. Music is a little higher than I would like but the food made up for it. Lots of beer on tap. Convenient re-ordering from the tabletop machine was cool, beers came out quick! There is a small outdoor patio with high-top tables but a little crowded.

    Tuna stack was really good. Truffle fries were good too. My husband ordered and old fashion but after 15 minutes wait when his drink was brought to us we noticed there is a huge crack on the glass. It took us few minutes to get a hold on our server to reorder his drink. It took another 15 minutes ( if not more) to get his drink. Second drink glass had a huge crack too. We didn’t bother calling our server since we didn’t want to wait another 20 minutes to get another drink. Service is definitely very slow. Fun and busy place though.

    I’ve been here twice in 17 years, ate the nachos both times and did the biggest dumps of my life within 20 minutes of leaving. The fact I can eat here and not put on weight is some sort of wizardry I cannot explain. Delicious food. Excellent service. Huge range of beers and drinks. For some reason they don’t want to show the website outside of America (they said privacy reasons?) but all in all a good time.

    Absolutely delicious food!! Both my husband and I loved our meals. I had the cheese and tomato bisque and my husband had the Korean BBQ sandwich! Great service - shout out to our lovely waitress Taylor who was both friendly and efficient! I highly recommend Yard House and will definitely be back! An easy 5 stars ⭐️

    Take note that if the host tells you it's a 25-30 minute wait for a table...there's most likely a ton of seats at the bar that's not mentioned! This place was exceptional! The food was delicious and made to perfection ! The staff was incredibly friendly ! We have been eating hawaiin and Japanese food our whole trip so we were excited to have an American type meal. My partner had the steak and thought it was delicious! I had the sliders and couldn't believe how delicious they were. The drinks were very sweet but they had an incredible selection of cocktails. We definitely had a buzz after so they made them great !

    A relaxed, fun environment for great food. Love the variety that is available. We had been craving some finger foods and the chicken nachos (no beans) hit the spot. Chicken was tender and melt in your mouth and the flavor combination was just perfect!

  • 5/5 Flavia B. 5 months ago on Google
    At Yard House you will find a friendly and relaxed environment, and a there’s always something interesting to watch on screen (baseball, surf, football…) - plus, a very nice playlist. Waiters are all very kind and service is fast, too. We tried different beers on tap and ciders, and they were all very good. Plus, the meat is amazingly cooked! Super recommended

  • 3/5 Jim B. 5 months ago on Google
    Food was good. Had the two peppers burger, medium rare, and house fries. Had a jack n coke to drink and man. I'm not one to complain about this but I think they forgot to add the coke. Only one I needed for sure. Also had the two cheese queso . It was very good.

  • 5/5 Ann T. 2 years ago on Google
    Most affordable place to eat in Waikiki especially during happy hour. Plus the food is good. I had the calamari and sliders. Taste. Menu options for vegetarians. If you like beer, there is plenty to choose from. I don't like it so the fresh brewed iced tea was primo.

  • 5/5 Léo M. 7 months ago on Google
    You can have more than 50 kinds of beers, amazing appetizers, main dishes, delicious cocktails and unique costume service. That’s the only restaurant bar in Waikiki area that you can really enjoy your day in a very honest and affordable price. 5 stars for sure. If you want to put this in another level, try be there in a happy hour. Mahalo.

  • 5/5 caser v. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here was amazing and the price was just right. This is where my family and me went for the night for a good dinner. The service was excellent and again the food was amazing. I would tell anybody go here. By my pictures you can see we cannot wait to eat.

  • 5/5 Phillip B. 1 year ago on Google
    We are here 3 out of the 4 evenings we spent in Honolulu - great experience each time and at a reasonable price. Fantastic selection of beers, tasty food, and a good vibe with great service. Menu is also really diverse - there is something for everyone. Highly recommend, worth a wait!

  • 5/5 Joshua G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good sports bar in Waikiki. The prices are reasonable and the food is tasty. The beer selection is very extensive and comes in a variety of sizes from small goblets to very tall glasses. Only downside is its very popular and can be hard to get into at times. First time I went in around dinner time there was not even a single seat at the bar available. But that is just another sign of how good this place is.

  • 4/5 Ewan A. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place to eat and drink. Fantastic choice of draft beers and ciders. Limited selection of cocktails. Multiple screens showing the latest sports channels. Great menu of burgers, tacos, pizzas etc. Go at Happy Hour between 2 and 5.30 pm and get half price appetizers and money off beers including $4 off half a yard. Went for our anniversary and got a free dessert!

  • 4/5 Jay 2 years ago on Google
    We ordered the wings (buffalo and whiskey pepper sauces) and the chicken nachos after a long flight. Service was a bit slow but picked up as the night went on. Great beer selection and we enjoyed the food!!!

  • 5/5 Samantha M. 2 years ago on Google
    This location is right below the Embassy Suites Waikiki and they have happy hour M-F with 1/2 price appetizers and discounts on drinks! We are here three times during our stay and my favorite was the Poke Nacho’s! *chef’s kiss* We also tried the calamari, 3 different pizza’s wings and it was all good! The beer selection was excellent and we were able to watch some football while eating!

  • 5/5 Jacqueline P. 2 years ago on Google
    This was my first time at Yard House. The food is really good, especially the garlic truffle fries! My husband enjoyed the fish tacos!

  • 5/5 Piperton G. 2 years ago on Google
    Went there for Happy hour and prices were awesome! We sat at the bar and were waited on by Ariel, we’ve been here about 12 days and she was hands down the nicest person Thats waited on us thus far! Super good bartender! Food was awesome, forewarning, portions are huge :) truffle fries were awesome!

  • 5/5 Nancy D. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a favorite place to eat when in Waikiki. My go-to salad is the crunchy ahi salad. Hubby is a fan of the grilled cheese sandwich (with bacon and avocado added) and a cup of tomato soup, of course. Lunch is a little easier to get in without too much of a wait. In the evening, though, expect to wait... sometimes more than an hour.

  • 5/5 Brian D. 2 years ago on Google
    For our last night out on Oahu before heading home, my family returned to a favorite from our trip some ten or so years ago. The Yard House has a lively atmosphere and a wide selection of food and drink that'll satisfy no matter what mood you're in. Our server, Andrew, was friendly, engaging, and made great suggestions that made the night all the better. I ordered the Island Fish which changes based on the daily catch, and thoroughly enjoyed some macadamia nut crusted marlin with the suggested substitute sides of sweet potato fries and asparagus. Of course I expect no less from a Hawaiian restaurant than high quality local fish, but of all the seafood I've had on this trip, this was by far the best. My experience at the Yard House was splendid and with the entire family's support, we will be returning when next we find ourselves on Oahu.
