As I scrolled through the selection of games, I settled on a classic slot machine with vibrant fruit symbols and nostalgic sounds. With a tap of my finger, I set the reels in motion, the digital fruits spinning on my screen amidst the ambient chatter of fellow diners.
With each spin, I felt a rush of excitement, hoping for a lucky combination to appear at Uptown Aces Casino. The restaurant’s lively atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop, with soft music playing in the background and the aroma of delicious cuisine filling the air.

I really thought about this carefully. Am I really doing this? Am I really giving a chain bar/restaurant a 5 star rating and perhaps putting my credibility on the line? And yes, yes I am.
The 3-6pm Weekly Happy Hour has got me returning multiple times in the past 2 weeks, so this must be saying something. I order different kinds of happy hour foods each time, but always always the same drink. This 5 stars is mostly dedicated to the bomb recipe they have for the MULES on their drink menu, which is perfectly delivered to me each time. The Mule may be my favorite drink of all time, and I've had it at restaurants everywhere near and far. This has got to be the best mule I've ever had. Moscow Mule + Hawaiian Mule. Just do it. If only this place wasn't on a Hill (Ridge's) and didn't require extensive car driving, I would just sit here and drink mules all day.
The Traditional Buffalo Wings, Boneless BBQ Wings (Idon'tevenlikebonelessorbbq), pepperoni + mushroom pizza, poke (a bit too much soy but just drink some more mule to dilute it lols), and onion rings have been perfect happy hour accompaniments to the mule. Come here 3-6 on a weekday, and enjoy everything + the nice servers!
This is a good place to drop by an have a meal after you go to the movies or before. I like their food I really enjoyed having the tacos and they have a great selection of beers on tap. The wait can be a little long especially during the peak hours. It has been a while since I've been there but it is a solid place with good wait staff.
I came here once before, but forgot to write a review. I was around the area and decided to come back and try ither stuff on the menu.
I was pretty pleased to have been seated right away as this place is usually pretty busy.
For the app, I ordered the Fried Calamari. It had a spicy tomato sauce and a roasted jalapeño tartar dip. This was made really well. It was perfect!
For the entree. I ordered the Mac & Cheese. It had chicken, bacon, wild mushrooms, cheddar, parmesan and truffle oil. This, too, was amazing! My BF ordered the Maui Pineapple Chicken. It was marinated, grilled with answert sou pineapple and vegetable fried brown rice. This was really good! (I had a taste!)
The service was a bit slow. Like I said, I came when it wasn't busy. So I wasn't sure why the service was so slow. I aske the waitress for water, and waited over a half hour for it. All good, though! There's a lot of beer or tap. A huge selection. So, if you're a beer drinker, this place is for you. I recommend coming here at least to try it out.
** 4.5 stars **
A sports bar in a mall? I was skeptical at this recommendation, coming from a friend who isn't the beer aficionado I am, and never made the trip up from the city to try it. Then the stars aligned as I happened to be in the area and needed lunch.
Yard House is a chain of upscale sports bars, most located in shopping malls. The Ridge Hill branch is located at one end of the mall, on the ground level. It has an enormous, cavernous space. Think of a typical urban sports bar then imagine it 10 times larger. There's outdoor seating, plenty of booth and table seating, and seats that circle the huge bar that sits like an island in the center, where you'll find their 100+ draft beer taps.
It's a feat to have a draft beer selection that includes plenty of mainstream beers worldwide (many listed in the aptly named "Light and Easy" category), a very respectable list of good domestic crafts and some international, and then some rotating limited ones. Not to mention they have a few house brews, made for them by Uinta in Utah (white, honey blond, and IPA) and even a tripel from Silly in Belgium. There's a smaller bottled list too, but with a draft list like this, one shouldn't need to go there.
The food is similarly inclusive, a wide ranging menu of typical finger foods, burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, salads, and entrees including fish and chips, pastas, steak, and fried chicken, many with twists. Notably, there is a small gluten free menu and vegetarian dishes are marked. Their lamb burger was cooked to order and very tasty, with a nice brioche bun.
Inclusivity has never been better than at Yard House. Amazingly, they really are a great sports bar, with huge flat screens everywhere, in a bright, open, clean, and handsome space. There's truly a beer or more for any beer drinker, even the more discerning. There's something to eat for everyone too. When I'm in the area, I'll gladly make a stop at Yard House again.
Yonkers!
Well if you take in to account this is Yonkers , it might be the best spot to hangout in.
The location is great being in Ridge Hill and all. The restaurant is very spacious, I have never had to wait to be seated here,except when I came in with a party of 20 for drink and apps. Since the place is huge it is a nice place to have a dinner date or to just hangout with the homies. The food here is pretty decent, nothing to write home about but nothing to dislike either. Portion sizes are huge. They have tons of beer options for you beer lovers. The drinks here are Solid, they have a large selection. There are quite a few TVs here if you wanna sit at the bar and catch some of the games.
For me the only real drawback there isn't music here. Initially it felt like a nice chain to now where I kind of of feel like its an upgraded Applebees or Chillis. OMG was that their blueprint?? I don't know The food isn't that fine enough to where you feel like you are at a fresh restaurant, and their is no nightlife vibe here……just caught in the middle.
That being said being in Yonkers this is one of the better places to enjoy with your friends, shopping is all around.
Infact as I am writing this I am realizing what makes this special is the people you come with 😉
Enjoy!
What to expect when you dine at Yard House: average food basically interchangeable with Applebees, TGI Fridays, etc. and subpar service. On my most recent experience, for lunch, our server appeared disinterested in doing much of anything. Even though the restaurant had just opened and was maybe five tables above empty, he still managed to disappear for long periods of time. Eventually, he came by to say he was taking his lunch break (which would be roughly an hour after the restaurant opened) and another equally disinterested waiter came to take his place.
I'm assuming that many of you who come here do so because the line for Cheesecake Factory is too long. Do yourselves a favor and find something else.
I used to come to Yard House a lot when they first opened, but then I grew tired of it and took a holiday from the restaurant for a while. While it's not my go-to place, it's geographically in a central spot for my colleagues and I to meet after work for drinks and apps.
Yard House is large – an impressive bar with a boatload of beer on tap sits in the center which provides a nice focal point. My favorite part of the atmosphere is the music – it's all mainstream stuff but they have a nice variety of 70s to present which makes it more interesting than your average chain's offering.
The menu has a lot of stuff, but I usually come here for drinks and small plates so we stick with apps. Most of their food is good; it's chain food but it's tasty. I don't drink beer much but their cocktails are pretty good, no real complaints (though I'm a light social drinker you can't really go by me).
One thing I found weird at Yard House (and this has happened more than once) is that my server will sometimes change mid meal – either my original server ended their shift or was going on a break. I can understand that, but it's still a little strange to me. Yard House is a popular spot – weekends are super packed but it's tamer on weeknights; we've had no problem getting in on Thursday nights with parties of 6 to 10 people.
Solid food and cool environment – good times always with friends =)
Im not sure why we waited so long to come here. Maybe because its a corporate restaurant? I don't know. We did not expect to like it as much as we did. This place was PACKEd! we waited almost an hour.
Although the wait took long, we had fine service from the moment we sat down. I loved the style of the menu. it was an american based menu with a mix of bbq, and a few other styles. I saw some really original dishes on the menu that enticed me. Their drink menu was super impressive as well. I got an outstanding berry cocktail, and my fiancé enjoyed two beers off of their great selection.
Our appetizers were phenomenal. The fried cheese curd was insane!!! So flavorful and fresh! Onion rings with the spiced rang dipping sauce was a nice touch!
Our entrees were my favorite. I ordered a spicy honey chicken breast, that came with sweet potato 'hot cakes'. IT WAS AMAZING. I never ordered anything like that before, and damn I am so happy I did. Those sweet potato pancakes were top notch. I just might have to order the same meal again next time I go back.
There was no room for dessert after the appetizers and entrees. Guess we will have to go back to try this those as well!
