Yard House—A Reluctant Convert’s Confession I’ll admit it—I’d never been to Yard House before. I usually stick to family-run spots, but sometimes places expand because they’ve nailed the key fundamentals of running a restaurant. This Yard House is massive—upstairs and downstairs, right in the epicenter of Times Square chaos—but I was seated immediately and the server was genuinely excellent. Two solid recommendations later, I was locked in and ready to put in work. Started with the spicy tuna stack, which was fantastic: clean, fresh fish with just enough heat to keep things interesting. Then came the main event: the Bleu Cheese and Bacon Burger with Truffle fries. I am not kidding…this might be one of the best burgers I’ve had so far while here in New York. Ridiculously decadent, piping hot (which matters more than people realize), with that perfect balance of sharp bleu cheese cutting through rich bacon and beef. The truffle fries were crispy, indulgent, and exactly the right sidekick they needed to be. Sure, they had 18 simultaneous college basketball games playing from three time zones of teams I couldn’t pick out of a lineup…but honestly? When a burger hits this hard, I don’t care if I’m eating it inside a mosh pit! Highly recommend…??

Food was delicious. our waiter was Joey and he was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the food. With suggestions. We had Parmesan truffle fries, tortilla soup, calamari, guac, and chips for appetizer and then we had chicken penne with vodka sauce, lobster and shrimp with garlic noodles for dinner and passion fruit lemonade.

We were so pleasantly surprised by the Yard House. There are so many delicious food options for anyone, and a great beer selection. Our server Derek was so attentive, funny, and gave great recommendations. We had the sashimi and fire / bang bang shrimp starters, the truffle burger and mango chicken for mains. Highly recommend.
