Yard House in
McLean (VA)

The food was delicious, but the service was extremely disappointing. Our server was nowhere to be found, and no one cleared our plates after we finished eating, leaving us with no space on the table when our dessert arrived. The front desk staff were also very rude — one lady literally walked away while I was speaking to her. Overall, the service really took away from what could have been a great dining experience.

This is my third visit to Yard House, and every time, they have kicked our table at 1.5 hours, claiming that they told the person that reserved the time, when they did not. In fact, the first time we reserved last year, we showed up 6 minutes after the reserved time, and they said they had given our table away. While the food is fine and the atmosphere ranges from fine-too loud to be able to hear people at your own table, it is not worth the rude treatment by the manager, front desk, and waitstaff. It is clear that they only care about turning tables, and that they overbook in order to do so. I don’t like to write negative reviews, but this is the third time I’ve experienced the same poor level of service. It is really disappointing to be treated like cattle instead of customers.

Great service and over a 100 kind of beer! Great atmosphere! Food also good but it's mire like a pub fry food... not a big fan, but it goes well with Great drinks !

I normally go to Springfield town center because it's closer to me. I came here for my company holiday party and the atmosphere was really nice. We ordered sashimi for starter and for the main, we had ribeye/lobster noodles. The ribeye was very soft and very well cooked. I wished they added more lobster to the noodlesdish,but other then that it was so delicious. I would definitely come back again. I came back again with our kids and they loved it. We did have to wait a little because it was crowded, but the food was worth the wait. Staff was also very friendly and were ner by if we needed anything.

For lunch, I ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad, featuring fresh tuna sashimi served with seaweed salad, avocado, arugula, and shrimp roe, all drizzled with a savory sauce and topped with refreshing diced cucumber. The dish was absolutely perfect! My partner ordered the Maui Pineapple Chicken, which was also quite delicious. The dining environment was very comfortable, and the staff were friendly. Highly recommended!

Wings are good, thin crust pizza is small but has good flavor, but mostly you gotta love the amount of beers on tap. Their Belgium white and Belgium golden are phenomenal ??. Steph the bartender was also very friendly and quick. Nice of her to remember my name with the bar packed of people.

My very first time at this establishment and the food, the atmosphere, the staff were all exceptional! We reserved our table for 9pm on New Year's eve. As you can imagine, the place was packed. Our waitress informed us that they would be serving each guest a free glass of champagne if we'd stay to bring in the New Year. Of course my party was excited and agreed! It was an amazing experience. Oh, I'll recommend you try the vodka penne pasta, the carne asada tortillas, the sweet potato fries and all of the desert??

This is my first time at Yard House and hopefully, it will not be my last. The food was excellent. I had the margarita pizza and my wife had the whiskey glazed salmon. Both were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The main reason we tried the Yard House, was the sign on the restaurant stating they had the "World's largest selection of tap beers." Yard House did not disappoint. 110 beers on tap. This restaurant is located inside Tysons Galleria. After a long day of shopping, the Yard House was a nice place to rest and relax.

amazing beer. just to the next level. probably the best beer selection in the DMV on tap. the beer is so good that I assume the go to market strategy is - get people drunk so they don't notice the sub par food ya, food is mediocre, especially for the price. we got the pineapple chicken (dry and bland), the brookie (fake brownie) which was all flower and no sugar, like they were trying to make desert healthy or something, and the whiskey cheese burger, which was actually pretty good (caveat being it's $20 and no better than local burger chains). truffle fries are fine, nothing too exciting but not bad. service isn't bad. they're super attentive to get you beers in the beginning (which is awesome) and then disappear when the food comes (so don't expect a side of mayo or anything extra the meal) atmosphere is a fun, loud bar with open seating. it's got tons of TVs so it's good for sports if you don't mind not hearing them. ultimatley, go for the beer and get food somewhere else before or after

Yard House was the perfect spot after playing a couple of rounds at the bowling alley. Our server, I wish I remembered his name, was very attentive and friendly. Our group had a couple of issues with food items we ordered, which he apologized for and took care of right away.

After a particularly rough night that ended with a flat tire on 495, I wandered into Yard House for my very first visit—hungry, frazzled, and absolutely in need of a drink. And let me tell you… this place turned my whole night around. Yard House is expansive—a huge bar, plenty of seating, and a lively atmosphere that instantly lifts your mood. We were quickly greeted and moved to a cozy booth in the dining room, and from there the experience only got better. Our first round of drinks came out within minutes. The beer list is wildly impressive, but my old-fashioned was spot on—smooth, balanced, and exactly what I needed. The black pepper glazed wings were fried and tossed to absolute perfection. Crispy, flavorful, and honestly unforgettable. I went with the cheesesteak, cooked perfectly with hot, fresh fries that hit the spot. My dining partner ordered what he called the “pork burger,” and he has not stopped talking about it since. We wrapped up with the crème brûlée cheesecake, the perfect sweet ending to a long, chaotic day. Service was wonderful from start to finish, and despite the drama that brought me there, I’m truly looking forward to returning—hopefully next time without the flat tire! Highly recommend Yard House in Tysons for great food, strong drinks, and an atmosphere that can turn your night around.

I visited Yard House for Oktoberfest. I started with the bratwurst pretzel sliders the had some broccoli cheddar soup. My entrée was the pineapple chicken with brocolini and for dessert I had the apple strudel. The food was excellent. The refills could have been more plentiful and it took about 15 minutes to get my check. Overall a pretty good experience. There is plenty to explore in the menu.

This place was nice, not exceptional not pretty good. Service on this evening was helpful and polite but less frequent than I would have liked I had the Korean cheese steak sandwich. It was just what I was expecting. The meat and cheese were plentiful and flavorful. The kimchi was similar to some I had in Korea but not overpowering. The onion rings were crispy and tasty. Everyone else enjoyed their food.

I got the salmon plate and it was really delicious! I just wish they gave more tahini sauce or something for the rice, it was pretty dry, and I had to drink water after every bite. Also, I wish the lemon wasn’t toasted so I could actually squeeze it over the fish.

The food was pretty good and the service was pretty good. It's a safe bet most on the menu is pretty basic so it suits a big group of people. Overall it's another cookie cutter of the franchise so if you like the brand you won't be disappointed.

We came in for happy hour and the food was great although it took about 20 mins for our server to come greet us we got tired of waiting so when she finally came we had just put in our order on the tablet. All she had to do was give us refills and boxes, but she seemed to still have an attitude and kept rolling her eyes. We had to ask the food runners for extra jalapeños and sauces.

Went for dinner to watch the game with a co-worker. I got the BBQ Burger and he got the Steak Bowl but with chicken both were amazing. The bartender was awesome and had a ton of knowledge about beers from the local breweries. Definitely a great pick!

This is a great watering hole to meet friends. We ordered appetizers and a few drinks. The Zaatar hummus and Brussels sprouts were excellent. But the sliders were a downer. Very average. Service is good and ambience is nice. Can be a bit noisy on game nights. Will try happy hour next time. In the mall so parking was OK, though I went on a Thursday night.

Delicious food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Everything was well-prepared and flavorful — a truly enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!

“I’ve visited this place several times, and it has become one of my favorites. The atmosphere is lively and casual — perfect for enjoying beer or cocktails with friends. It’s upbeat and fun, though at times a bit too loud for deep conversations. The food is consistently delicious, and even just ordering side dishes feels satisfying because the portions are generous. It’s also a great spot for couples on a casual date. If you’re looking for a vibrant and energetic place, I highly recommend it!”

Yard House restaurants overall are consistent. We visited the Yard House in Tysons and it was delicious! The food presentation looked just like their pictures! The food was seasoned well and served hot with temperature. The place is clean and welcoming. The drinks were cute and not weak with the “adult potion” (alcohol). I definitely recommend visiting this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

I really enjoyed myself with friends being served at the bar. I'm currently on a no bread or sugar diet. I ordered their Mediterranean Salmon and substituted the baby tomatoes for broccolini and it was very tasteful. I may even get this post diet as this was delicious. ?

So, my first time coming to yard house, I got a stare (to hopefull acknowledge my presence) but was not greeted by a bartender that def exchanged eye contact, then I sat down and she walked away. Okay, no problem. Ended up waiting a few minutes for different sets of bartenders to make their rounds and was approached by a helpful gentleman named Alex (who was willing to chill my beer glass with ice and water for a few mins since they don’t do cold glasses and I NEED MY BEER COLD)gave me some great recommendations: The firecracker shrimp, spicy tuna stack and wings. Unfortunately not big on the seafood or the fried stuff, ended up going with the cilantro lime chicken, and it did not disappoint cause It was the BEST chicken I’ve had in this area hands down! Other places try to mimic, yet I’m going to have dreams about Yard Houses cilantro lime chicken for days to come specifically cause it jackknives pretty much any contender in the area. I cannot wait to come back and do it again. It took a little bit of time to come out but I am so thankful it did. Clearly there was no microwave (chef Mike) involved in the cooking of the food. 12/10 for this dish, at under 600 calories I feel like this was the best decision I’ve ever made. This place is a win and while I came on a Sunday evening, I can only imagine how crazy it gets here for sports events so get here hours early if you want a bar seat.

We went here twice, dinner and then lunch. The evening was super busy, but the lunch hr was not so busy. Lots on the menu to choose from. I love the jambalaya!!! The younger waiter was very nice and attentive compared to the busier times before. See photos for what we ordered.

After a day of shopping at Tysons Corner, we decided to stop by Yard House for a late lunch. We weren’t expecting anything fancy—just a decent burger and a couple of beers. The service was a bit slow, but given the casual atmosphere of the place, it was more or less what I expected. The food, however, hit the spot. The burger was solid, and the beers were cold—exactly what we were looking for. Overall, it was a pretty standard experience. The service wasn’t standout, but it didn’t detract from the meal. If you’re looking for a quick, reliable bite after a shopping trip, Yard House gets the job done.

Stopped in with co-workers after work. First timer. Great prompt service for our large group. Fanatic food. The spicy tuna Stack and cheesecake bruleé were my favorites 10/10 would recommend. Good food options. Definitely coming back.
