Yard House

Yard House at The Village in Meridian, Idaho, is a gem! Located at 3693 E Longwing Ln, this spot delivers a vibrant atmosphere with classic rock, colorful art, and big TVs perfect for game days. The food is outstanding—the Poke Nachos with fresh tuna and a trio of sauces (sweet soy, truffle, and sriracha) were a flavor explosion, and the Kubota Pork Burger with truffle fries was a crowd-pleaser. Their 100+ beer taps, featuring local crafts and unique Chalkboard Series brews, make it a beer lover’s paradise. The staff, like our server Miranda, was friendly and attentive, adding to the fun vibe. Happy hour deals on apps and drinks were a steal, and the gluten-free options, like their tasty GF burger, impressed. Yard House is a must-visit for great food, drinks, and a lively time

It was my first time here. Mood lighting and it seemed pretty chill. Our seating was great until the hostess brought in 10 teen aged boys and seated them next to us. 🤦‍♀️At first they went outside and I was relieved, but then they came back inside. The other side of the restaurant looked empty. This seating arrangement made no sense to me what so ever. We needed a gluten free menu prior to ordering as the tablet/pay station didn't offer it. We asked out waitress who said she'd be right back, but seemed to ignore us once the noise came in. So we wait about 15 minutes and she comes back and asks if we're ready to order. I said can we get that menu? She had an oh ish moment and again said she'll be right back. She brought our appetizer right out, veggies & guac. Nothing to write home about. English cuces, carrots and celery, meh, and the guacamole didn't have anything to it, other than some red onion. I got a cheesesteak, it was alright, again nothing really unique, sweet potato fries were OK. Whomever served out food was nice and brought my honey mustard right back, and was polite. GF ground pork burger was good, not dry, and plenty of condiments. The bun was prepared properly so it didn't fall apart as some GF buns tend to do. Fries were cooked well. Cherry lemonade, and dragon fruit lemonade were good too! GF Creme Brule was good. Not too sweet, and very airy.

Good things: Food delicious. Quiet cool atmosphere. Plentiful wait staff who seemed familiar with celiac and gluten free. GF menu. Not quite so good things: Though many seats were available, we were seated at back door, near wait staff station. Wait staff were loud and chatty, lots of traffic of customers and wait staff. Also a storage area for child seats, crates, ice buckets etc. Gluten free burger was a bit small and bun was hard. Dishes were not removed from table promptly.
