Yard House - Atlantic Station

VIsited on a Tuesday evening for dinner and a beer. Located in the Atlantic Station development in Midtown Atlanta. Parking is below the development and expansive. Typical setup for a Yard House, though on the smaller side for one of their locations. Mostly restaurant seating, though plenty of room and the oval bar in the center of the room. Also a smaller patio section off the side of the restaurant. Food menu is the same as all other Yard House though quality was lower (super salty) than I am used to at Yard House. Beer menu was vast, through light on local Atlanta / Georgia selections. If you are nearby, worth the stop, otherwise better options are all over Atlanta. (Just ok) I only use the total score, not the component parts.

Almost identical to Honolulu, nice enough, somewhat pricy, great draft list, very goo but pricy food. Staff here had absolutely no idea about beer.

If you’ve been to a Yard House...no surprises here. Best part of this one is their location if you are visiting Atlanta Station. And although at busy times you can usually find a seat at the bar with a reasonable wait...tables for 4 or more can be a very long wait...even given how large this place is. The service and food quality can very widely from night to night and visit to visit. Our recent visit followed a long wait...over 90 mins...and decent service...but a number of serving miscues. My biggest problem with "all" Yard Houses is they are more show than go...at least craftbeer-wise. The large bar with 125-150 taps...with the "headers" weaving their way across the ceiling with all that beer ...sure look cool...but then telling you that you can’t make your own flight is ludicrous. Yes they have pre-selected flights with "one" choice of your own...but really...c’mon...with that business model they could easily get by with only 50-60 taps. If you want to see corporate mega-tap craftbeer done right...checkout the very well done World of Beer chain...or the regional Taco Mac chain...both beat Yard House hand’s down...although I’d give WOB the edge.

Not too shabby for a chain restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was great, and they had a decent selection of craft beers on tap. I only tried one house brew, but it wasn’t too bad. This is a nice place to eat in Atlantic Station. The surrounding area is pretty nice, too. I might be back.

Visited here in late August ’14 while in town for work. Upscale beer oriented restaurant with well over 100 taps. Plenty of common crafts, major imports, regionals and seasonals. Nothing too exciting - hard to even find a tick - had to resort to their house beers which are brewed by Uinta - not bad though. Prices are on the high side. Food seems pretty solid - had Baja fish tacos and the service was attentive and beer knowledgeable for the most part. Not a beer geek destination, but not bad by any means.

Lots of taps with great variety. Particularly strong on Belgians But terrible service. It took both me and the guy next to me at the bar (who ordered 15 minutes ahead of me) just under 1 hour to get lunch after ordering. Getting the attention of a server was never easy. Service was again poor on several other visits, with the wrong beer delivered and wrong food items. Shameful service.

This is part of a chain, and being a new location has a rather shiny new appearance. However, given time it should develop some character. Service can be a little slow, but food is very tasty and they have a large selection of vegetarian items. Their taps are largely craft brews, with several rotating taps and plenty of limited-release beers. Located a brisk walk from MARTA rail and accessible by free shuttle buses, it is definitely worth a visit.
