    Spent about $80 Seriously I enjoyed my meal and the server just that the table was a lil dirty with crumbs and a few black handkerchiefs napkins we're on the floor under the table I almost slipped getting up because it was up under my feet as I slid out from the dining table but overall the meal was good on time not a long wait for 🪑 seating or for food to be brung out. I'll definitely be back for my free appetizer so make sure to signed up for there email update on the order pad on your table thanks @yardhouse on banks bye the water go view by the Ohio river and reds stadium 🏟️ and Bengals stadium 🏟️✔️ out

    Father's Day 2022. Lunch before the Reds game. Yard House opens at 11a.m. and does not take reservations. We arrived a bit early, but there were 12 in our party, so we wanted to hopefully not wait long to get seated. We did have to wait till 11:30 to be seated when more wait staff was on duty to accommodate our size party. No problem. We just waited with a drink. Highly recommend the bloody Mary, spicy. Service was excellent. Food was very good. I had the pepper jack burger with fries. Our granddaughter who is gluten free, had a shrimp with rice noodles dish. We don't get downtown Cincinnati very often, but will definitely like to come back here to try more dishes.

    Always great food, drink, and service. We had a couple great beers each. This time we had to be Spicy Tuna Stack because it is our favorite app! Then she had the Sesame-Crusted Ahi while I had the Stacked Turkey Club. Then we split the Bread Pudding. All tasted great, got out fast, and left stuffed! Our server was very good and helpful!

    I walked in and was immediately comfortable. Bar staff was friendly and attentive. Food menu was very good. I chose the ribeye with shrimp add on. Amazing. Food was delicious and bar staff never left my drink empty. Beer and drink selection had something for everyone’s taste. Will definitely go back next time I am in Cincinnati.

    Absolutely amazing. The service was top notch. Everything was correct and our drinks were refilled as soon as they got low without asking. The bone in ribeye was cooked to mid rare perfection. The firecracker shrimp amd calamari were as good as it gets. The mashed potatoes that come with the steak were some of the best I've ever had. The kids loved their pizza amd mac and cheese. They have a great drink menu as well. The atmosphere is so nice and comfortable. Perfect lighting. Comfy seats and a very nice bar. It also has wonderful views out the windows.I will definitely return next time I'm downtown.

    Great selection of beer, but it takes about 15-20 min to order a beer at the bar. Our food didn’t show up during the time that we both drank a beer, but they gave us the food to go to make up for the mistake. The bartenders are helpful, but there aren’t enough of them to support the traffic at the bar.

    Our server was Alexis she was amazing! We got the poke nachos and I didn't care for the chips so she got me lettuce wraps instead. She also took care of our dessert because it was our anniversary. She had great menu recommendations and totally attentive without being overboard. Wonderful experience and great food!

    Decided to have my birthday dinner at Yard House, I have stopped in for a beer once or twice while at the Banks for a ballgame, but this is the first time to eat. The food was great, the beer was amazing! I tried house beers or course, getting the flight & then the IPA pint. Will definitely return to try more!

    I’ve been to yard house several times and it’s a typical chain but this time the service was off, everyone was really nice but they were so slow! We ordered mini sliders as an app which we were really good, and for dinner I ordered Mac and cheese which was so bad it was supposed to have bacon and chicken but it just had mushrooms. It was bland and gross. But the staff were so nice I just think they were over worked.

    Celebrated my sister in laws birthday early. The shrimp and rice cake is always delicious!! Crispy korean garlic wings and cheese curds were yummy also. Give these a try if you're in town.

    We piled in a nice cozy corner booth with 4 adults and 2 kids for a Monday lunch. Our server Joshua was very helpful and friendly. We ordered several appetizers(queso dip, Bavarian pretzel, firecracker shrimp, and the guacamole) and they were all delicious. Do beware of the sliced peppers that they garnish the guacamole with...they pack a punch! We also had free samples(you're allowed two per person) of beer before picking one...the selection is quite impressive. One of us went for a classic Ketel One Dirty Martini and it was perfection. The kid's meals were large portions and they enjoyed them(sliders and chicken tenders with fries and choice of drink each). We didn't necessarily need the Chicken Philly Sandwich, Kale Caesar Salad, or the Spicy Jambalaya but we still ordered them. Lol The sandwich was the least impressive thing of the meal, the Jambalaya was tasty but not spicy to us, and the salad was amazing. We highly enjoyed our time here and would recommend it if you're in the area!

    Their boneless chicken wings are the best in town. MUST try Korean sauce. Don't miss Happy hours. (No happy hours on a home game day) I enjoyed their signature half yard beer very much.

    Food was delicious! Last minute choice. After a short wait we had tables. My food was given accidentally to another table for which they profusely apologized and gave us a bottle of wine to enjoy while I waited. Never have I ever had a restaurant treat us so well. Honestly, everyone (group of 13) enjoyed their meals great sportsbar/nice restaurant feel. Lots of tvs to watch the game. You will happy you went. 🙂

    While in town for the Taylor Swift concert, we stopped in at Yard House. The service was really great. Our server was super friendly and very attentive. Guacamole and chips were great appetizers despite most of the chips being broken. Our meals were fantastic! My husband had the fish and fries, which he said were excellent and very filling. I had the Cobb salad with blackened chicken, and it was probably the best salad I've had recently. Very fresh tasting and filling. The restrooms were a bit messy, but considering the sheer number of people there, I could see why. The overall atmosphere was great, and I wish I didn't live over four hours away! If we ever find ourselves in the Cincinnati area, we will definitely make time to stop in at Yard House for a meal and drinks!

    Came here to celebrate our anniversary on a Monday evening. From the initial greeting to the excellent service from Rhonda this was a great experience! The food was delicious. We started with the Four Cheese spinach dip, house and Caesar salads. I had the fontina chicken vodka penne which was mouth watering and my husband left nothing but bones behind from his chicken wings! Having worked in food service I always appreciate when it’s obvious that the staff works together and that is the case here. Anyone who was free, ran food to tables and it made for a seamless experience! 10/10!

    I feel horrible I am just not getting around to this. My wife and I dined here following a Reds game. We had never heard of The Yard House before, but it was absolutely our best dining experience in our 10-day vacation through the Midwest. I am terrible at names, but I believe Courtney was our waitress and the work she put in, along with Victor, who bussed tables, was way above and beyond. The food was exceptional and the price for our meal was well worth the value. It turned us on to The Yard House wherever we travel now, but we've yet to have the experience Courtney and Dexter provided. Make sure to ask for her and take care of her generously!!!

    Keisha was our server, very friendly. Food was delivered fast. We were there early so they weren't very busy. Really enjoyed the food. I had a turkey club and my husband had their version of a Philly cheese steak. Cute little fry baskets that held the french fries. The women's bathroom was really dark, very low lighting, felt like I was in a cave😂. We ate inside but there is a patio area and some of the tables inside are by the windows so you can look out. View was great.

    Great service from our waitress who was happy to show us how the kiosk computer works but was also more than happy to interact with us old fogeys IRL. Nice to be able to order immediately and then later, split the check easily without having to deal with her later. Nachos were excellent. I'm really impressed when a place knows to make the stack of chips wide but not tall so that you don't end up with a bunch of chips that don't have any stuff on them. This was perfectly done and the cheese was melted nicely. Truffle fries were also excellent. Hot, crispy, perfectly cooked. Great for dipping in the mayo and then I asked for some sriracha ketchup. Yum! I'm glad there wasn't a sporting event tonight as I found parking less than two blocks away and there was no wait. My only complaint is that they didn't have any tables with power outlets to charge up my phone.

    My sliders or fries wasn't hot. Had no idea it was cheese on the burger until I got home and removed the bun. Nobody at my table was impressed with the food. I also thought it was an upscale restaurant and it's an UPSCALE SPORTS BAR !!! The host also told one of my guess they could just walk around the restaurant to find my table instead of directing her to the table.

    Fish and chips were recommended as the #3 most popular item on the menu. I would say it's average. My first time here I gave them a 5 star review for the salmon, this time I wanted something different. I should not have changed. Sit inside the restaurant not behind the bar. It was loud and I felt like I was in a bar. Not a nice restaurant.
