Yard House - Cincinnati

I was very excited about going to Yard House when I saw that they have a whole vegetarian section using Gardein products on the menu. But, that was before I looked at the nutrition facts and saw that the average calorie count per dish is between about 700 and 1900 calories and fat gram count for a dish ranging from 20 to as high as 117--and most dishes are on the high end of these ranges. I'm not sure what they do to these healthy ingredients to make them so unhealthy, but I really wish they would change the nutrition profile because they have so many veg options!

This place was great! I wish there was one closer to me. I had the gardein buffalo bites, and my carnist friend said It's just like chicken'. I also had the gardein chicken stir fry. Excellent fresh dish and I had the option with brown rice. So many choices here!

The gardein burger is delicious! I ate at the bar and the bartenders were very friendly. when I ordered the vegan burger, the bartender explained everything to make sure that I got the full vegan option (e.g. he told me I could pommes on the side, but the salat was vegan.) the meal was filled out, which was very necessary after a day of travel.

Hubs I went here bc of all gardein options that I really appreciate yard house offer, but: a handful of them are not vegan that they would not really know if they ask. my man had the orange chik’n, which was great, I had the vegan burger, and we shared the vegan wings .. only to find out after none of the wings are vegan! our fault we should not have accepted. I finished emailing yard house to confirm vegan options: the chik’n rice bowl, vegan burger, and orange chik’n are vegan as-is, and to make other options vegan, they need to check with waitress what can be done. they also told me the wings could be veganized by asking them with smoky bbq or franks hot sauce next time. altogether, though, eating was great and now that we know we would be back.

So I was initially so excited about yard house and her gardein options, but yes it is frustrating because most vegetarian things are not vegan and the dings they think are vegetarian are questionable as frying things and have verified them whether cheese was rennet-free? the menu has an item with vegan labeled it is the burger! it's so good. then I get a side salad. it's pretty big or it was when I ordered it. you could get rid of, but I'm pretty sure they're fried with fried chicken. not sure if it is separated. that is very filled. I know they have a lot of alcohol, but I'm never in the mood when I go, so can't talk to him. the place has a good view of the river and the roebling bridge. some server are knowledgeable and some are not at all. I get an appetit on this burger at least once a month.
