Yard House - Lombard

Had a really pleasant time at Yard House in Downers Grove with my wife and daughter. I had the Cobb salad and my wife and daughter had zucchini and noodle dishes. We shared a sequence of truffles that were not the best I had, but we are solid. Grilled chicken on Cobb salad was very good. Five stars for the way we were treated by bar staff (we ate at the bar). They made a mistake on one of our horrors, took full property and apologized. They forced us to the court for our waiting period without asking us. We would have been good without their concern for our satisfaction, but it was very appreciated and will let us come back sooner than later. Great customer service.

When you are thinking of where to eat, this is where you go. I mean how can you go wrong? This place has good tunes, good crowd, staff was excellent, and the place looked beautiful. We must have gotten in just before the Sunday dinner rush. Walked right in, no wait. Servers were more than accommodating for my little one. Which is saying a lot in these times of staff shortage and unhappy employees. I am grateful for my experience from the hostess, to the waiter, the bartender, and the kitchen. Outstanding!

Great food, great service! Our server Alicia was knowledgeable and attentive! We ordered spinach dip, Korean bbq wings (super crunchy and full of flavor) and the jambalaya with linguine(spicy but good). For drinks we started with the black cherry watermelon hard spritzer loaded with tequila. They were refreshing but I’m not a fan of the syrup they used, kinda tasted like medicine. We also ordered the house margaritas, those were delicious! We will definitely be back!

So I’ve been several times and you must have the firecracker shrimp not pictured) It’s the best I’ve ever tasted! I also had the sweet potato fries not pictured) also PERFECT! I like them better than the regular fries. Pictured here is the cheese steak, also really good! Everything is always perfect with the service!

The restaurant has a lovely ambiance and we were seated quickly. However, our server was not very attentive, and while we had a gentleman who seemed to be a manager help us with a refill, there was also a woman who appeared to be in a managerial role but didn't address our needs. Overall, we felt a bit overlooked. Despite that, I enjoyed the food and would definitely return, as the prices are quite reasonable.
