This Yard House location is attached to the SONO Collection Mall, on the Bloomingdale's side; no access from inside but just a short walk. Parking at the mall is convenient - pay by app or a link sent by text (we paid $3 for 3 hours so $1/hr.) There is Happy hour from 3-6pm like at other locations: 1/2 off select appetizers and pizza, discount on some alcoholic beverages. Great deal - our app orders came out to about $5-$7 each. Still enjoyed the sliders, tenders which came with fries; more generous with the calamari here; fried cheese curds are like mozzarella bits; liked the crispy brussell sprouts, well more burnt than crispy but liked them anyway. I know we ordered mostly fried food but there were other options for HH. We just didn't feel like having nachos, boneless wings and pizza. Blackened ahi tuna sandwich was good although some found the sauce a bit salty. Added $2 to change fries to onion rings. Mac and cheese had fried mushrooms and oil which we had on the side. We went on a weekday, so not as busy. Service was friendly and fast. Food came out pretty quickly and got drink refills when needed.

Yard House is a chain of casual dining restaurants that opened in Long Beach, California in December 1996. It was founded by business partners Steele Platt, Steve Reynolds, Tom Yelenick, and William Wollrab. Platt previously owned a bar-restaurant operation in Denver (CO) known as the 'Boiler Room'. Some elements from that restaurant (including a large beer selection, "pub grub", and classic rock being played in the foreground) would be reused for a new concept. The new partners had a vision to create "the world's greatest tap room". The name 'Yard House' was chosen as a reference to yard glasses (designed to hand to stagecoach drivers in 17th century Great Britain). Today the chain features nearly 90 locations that all have over 100 beers on draft as well as a variety of different food dishes. Platt and Reynolds are the only founders that are still with the company. My family and I recently visited the Yard House at The SoNo Collection in Norwalk. This particular location (the only one in Connecticut) opened in 2021. My wife received a gift card to any Darden Restaurant (of which Yard House is a member), so we decided to go one day for lunch. We loved the interior which was spacious and aesthetically pleasing. We also really liked the classic rock tunes that played throughout our visit. For food, we selected some items off of the Kid's Menu for my two sons. My older son had "Fried Chicken Tenders" (white meat chicken breast strips, buttermilk ranch dressing) with Fries, while my younger son had the "Mac & Cheese" (elbow macaroni, cheddar cheese sauce). They were both very happy with their plates. My wife had the "Nashville Hot Chicken" (spicy sweet slaw, white cheddar, garlic aioli, toasted brioche bun) with Sweet Potato Fries; she said it was very crispy and flavorful. I ordered the "Beer-Battered Fish & Chips" (whitefish, house fries, malt vinegar slaw, roasted jalapeño tartar, malt vinegar aioli) and I enjoyed every bite. Obviously I had to order the signature half-yard glass of beer. I had it filled with New England Brewing's "Fuzzy Baby Ducks" IPA (one of my go-tos). My wife enjoyed a glass of Ace Cider's "Guava Cider". I was really impressed by Yard House's beer selection. I was expecting mostly macro-brewery offerings, but most of it was craft (and a lot of it was local too!) Overall, we had an excellent experience at Yard House and we look forward to returning!

One word about this Yardhouse, wow. I went to this yardhouse on a tuesday around 12:45 and it was quite empty but it had wonderful decor and music playing however i'm sure it would be much more lively and festive with more people were here. The food was delectable, I got the caesar salad and the penne a la vodka and it was amazing! The salad had a lot of dressing in my opinion but for others who tried it they said it was lovely. The other people who I went with got the brussel sprouts and the onion ring tower and they said it was lovely the tables fav was the brussel sprouts. Overall an amazing lunch and experience.

One for lunch and went for the basics. One beer and some wings, extra crispy Pretty much near perfect with the exception it came with no blue cheese or carrots/celery for plump and tasty too many beers to decide from and the staff of the bar were somewhat new, so couldn't guide me too well. Ended up going with her basic brew. Servers/Bartenders are really nice and cool to chat about the chow. Plan on coming back again.

My grandmother and I wanted to try something new. I got the Grilled Chicken and Avocado Sandwich with French Fries and she got the Shiitake Garlic Noodles. The smell alone felt a tad off, but I still wanted to see how it tasted and I regret having her buy this as a treat for the both of us. My food tasted horribly and had an extremely odd taste for a grilled chicken sandwich. I cannot describe it. It was that unpleasant. I even gagged a few times until I just could not eat it anymore while my grandmother’s noodles were very oily and she could not finish her food either. I am so disappointed and I now believe the unsatisfaction I hear about your food from my peers. I need a refund! It was that disgusting!

Miserable rainy day, but we drove to CT to meet our family at the SoNo Collection mall. We're not normally mall goers but needed to be indoors. Checked the choices and decided on Yard House for lunch and we were very pleased There were 7 of us in total and everyone was happy with what they ordered. And the server, Jasmin, was excellent. We definitely will go back.

Nice ambience, good selection of food and drinks. Food is delicious.
Food is delicious for the price. Service always attentive and chatty. Highly recommend for Friday nights out as they also have a plentiful alcohol selection. Ambiance is kinda loud but that's what you get with a happy atmosphere.

Amazing place, As soon as we walk in we got seated immediately and the atmosphere was amazing the smell of the food was already making me so hungry so as we got seated a waiter came up to us and was super polite and even gave my little sister a coloring sheet. We ordered a 10 piece wing, garlic lobster noodle, and a 20oz steak with mashed potatoes. The Wings was so so so so so delicious and was spicy and sweet with ranch and it was delicious, The lobster noodle was better, with butter and crispy string and lobster it was amazing and the steak was spectacular it was so juicy, and the mashed potatoes with the house cause with also so good, I hope I come back here.COME TO THIS PLACE NOW

Arrived to the restaurant and it was busy however we were sat within 60 seconds of walking in which was excellent. Our server was Leslie and he was beyond great. He was very attentive and assured the entire experience was good and we were satisfied. This was my first time eating here also. The steak was an excellent size for the price and it was well seasoned. My Oreo Brookie was delicious. I also have to add they ran out of ice cream and went out to purchase more just to make the Brookie. Now that's customer service .And the strawberry lemonade was so good. My entire experience was 10s all across the board . Definitely recommend. I'll definitely be back soon.
