Yard House is an American restaurant chain, with 80+ locations across the United States.[2] Yard House was purchased by Darden Restaurants in 2012 for $585 million and now operates out of Orlando, Florida.[3] [4]
Yard House was founded in 1996 in Long Beach, California by Steele Platt, Tom Yelenick, William Wollrab and Steve Reynolds.[5]
