We started with a round of beers and each sampled something different, including a Downtown Brown, Firestone Double Barrel and House Honey Blonde. All beers – from ales, lagers, ciders, beer blends and more – can be ordered in a goblet, pint, half yard or six pack sampler…something for every palate and level of thirst!
In between sips, we were served an array of bite-sized samplings from the menu. Favorites included the Seared Ahi Sashimi (lightly blackened and served with soy vinaigrette, wasabi and picked ginger), Spinach Cheese Dip (baked with feta, jack, Parmesan and cream cheese; served with crispy flatbread), and Grilled Korean BBQ Beef (boneless short ribs marinated in garlic, soy and brown sugar; served over jasmine rice).
Next up, I switched gears and tried the Southern Belle, one of the signature cocktails. Jeremiah sweet tea vodka was mixed with lemonade, fresh pineapple and sweet strawberries. The concoction was strong yet tasty, and incredibly refreshing on a hot summer’s evening! My guest gave the Silver Caddy a try and was equally impressed by Yard House’s take on a margarita.
Throughout the exclusive event, food continued to be delivered by the attentive wait staff, and we weren’t shy in putting our sampling skills to work. The classic cheeseburger melted in our mouths, and the Southern Fried Chicken Breast (served over spinach-corn mashed potatoes and bourbon gravy) also received rave reviews.
Although stuffed to the brim, we couldn’t resist trying the Mini Crème Brulee with carmelized bananas. An added surprise of chocolate ganache at the bottom was seriously delicious.
The Yard House is the ideal spot for after-work drinks, a lunch break while shopping at the Fountains, a birthday celebration or date night. You’ll be groovin’ to the music, oohing and aahing over the food and quenching your thirst in no time!
