If you are a beer connoisseur, along with fine food–you’ll love the Yard House. This is a chain that has locations in: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Texas and Nevada. I hope they build one here in North Cackalacky particularly in the Raleigh–Durham area.
I went to the one in the Victoria Gardens outdoor mall in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. There are every imaginable beers on draft and it’s quite an impressive display at the bar. I never used to drink beer (my husband coaxed me into trying Miller Lite one time–not bad at all), I’m more of a mixed, fruity, and girly drink (occasionally, a glass of wine) type of gal and I still am. But, I am expanding my taste bud horizons when it come to spirits. My favorite beers so far are Blue Moon and Hefeweizen; I’m willing to try any beers now to find my faves.
I ended up eating there twice while I was visiting family/friends in SoCal. I had ordered the “House Hefe” a couple of times I’ve been there and it is excellent. I had ordered the Classic Sliders and the Fish and Chips; I was not disappointed at all. The next time I go there I will order something that is more refined; I was on a budget the last two times I had eaten there. Whenever I visit any restaurant a second, third, etc., I like to order different dishes. The two times that I had eaten there , we had dined outdoors. It was a little chilly since it was December, but they had heaters outside which made it quite a pleasant experience.
The waitstaff and service was excellent. There are flat screen TVs to enjoy your favorite sports, good classic rock music playing in the background–if dining indoors; and the ambiance is modern, hip and metro. My hubby swore he saw Lady GaGa’s twin checking him out at the bar–keep dreaming honey! Obviously, I give it 5 stars.:), minus the Lady GaGa reference;)
