Yard House — Restaurant in Burbank

Friday night, pretty busy, sets the scene.

I can only talk about my experience at the bar. It was happy hour, and the atmosphere was great!

I can't remember his name, but our bartender was definitely on it. The minute I mentioned Italian amaro, he knew that I knew what was up.

Yard House only carries one Amaro at this location, Nonino. I ordered 2 oz, over ice in a highball, topped off with tonic water. Our bartender made it perfectly! Just the right amount of ice to tonic water ratio. Very refreshing.

I'd say the service was five stars, I'd give him a six star Uber rating if I could.

One thing that bugged me though was that one of the female bartenders came over, and tried to hustle his tip from us. She was kind of doing that towards the last part of the time we were at the bar. What's up? You like stealing other bartenders tips when you didn't do a single thing for us the whole time we were there? Lol. Just saying!

Anyways, we made sure to tip our bartender a little extra cash on the side. It was his, and solely His work that made our night extraordinary. So he's the one that deserves the cash.

Let that be good advice to anyone reading this. If one bartender is taking care of you most of the night, that's the person who should get the tip.

Anyways, for what this place is, and for the variety of beers they have on tap, which is what they're known for, and for the exceptional service we received on a busy Friday night, that's the main reason I give this place five stars.

Though we didn't get anything to eat this particular evening, I know from the food being delivered all around us, the Boneless wings, the chicken nachos, and the chicken lettuce wrap are definitely something y'all should consider ordering on your visit. You definitely will not be...

I waited waaaaaay too long to try this place. I've been to other Yard House locations, and they've always been great, but I finally got to the movies with enough of a lead to check it out. Did not disappoint. There was a wait, but when we told them our movie start time, they offered us bar seating. Since it was just two of us, we agreed and I'm glad we did. The bartender gave us service comparable to any table service you can get at a similar establishment. We didn't feel like an after thought to his making drinks - he was patient and answers questions, followed up, checked in on our food, and even made small talk as we waited. For a quick in and out (we made the movie easily and got a fantastic meal), I won't overlook Yard House anymore. Even with 30-45 minutes, you can get great food and a drink before heading in. Speaking of, we both got cocktails - which were strong enough to let us know we we're drinking but not overwhelming - in a word, perfect for a date night. The food came out a little overlapped (we weren't done the appetizer [our yardhouse go to - spinach and artichoke dip] when our meals arrived - but we asked to press the time so no complaints. The next time I'll know that, with food service this quick, we won't need to request it as fast. But that was the only issue with the food. Both courses were delicious - every burger is good choice and my girl gets vampire tacos every time (and then raves about them all weekend) and we were enjoying the food and conversation so much - we almost lost track of time - BUT the friendly bartender gave us a heads up on time and offered to grab the check. Really super 5 star service. Will...

Local guide here. I wanted to share my disappointment with this location, which was one of my favorite places for dinner.

I recently went with 3 guests and we ordered food and drinks and unfortunately our drinks were more juice, mix and ice than anything. I ordered a double shot of patron, which was so small that i questioned the server on the amount. I mean, if im spending 20.00 plus on a double, I expect a double, not a small drop over a single. She went back to the bar and gave me a little more, which was acceptable, but the bar tender must have been mad because the next round of drinks were so horrible. I asked to speak to a manager. When the manager arrived, he was somewhat friendly until I questioned him on our drinks. I asked him if he could at least make our drink right rather than all watered down and full of ice. He began to give me a lecture on how everything is measured and that the drinks would be the same and there was nothing he could do to make it right.

I was so disappointed, I asked him for our bill and we left. Our bill came to over 400.00, but there was nothing he could do, just horrible.

I took my party downstairs to Barney's and told them about our experience, and they gave us a complimentary round. Then i ordered a double shot, and whoa, i was amazed at the amount I was given. To make a long story short, if you're looking for good drinks, head to Barney's. They make them right and...
