This is the kind of place you can take your family, go on a date, have a night out with friends, and even hit up for a happy hour after a long day at work. I’m talking about Yard House. It’s one of my favorite places to go in the city, plus they have one of my favorite meals -- Baja fish tacos! I order them almost every time I go there. If you’ve never had fish tacos, you’re missing out. They’re amazing. Plus, if you’re into beer, Yard House has an incredible list of options to choose from as they’re well known for their beer selections. If you’re in the Hampton Roads area and looking for a great place to eat and chill, check out Yard House. Do something fun this weekend and enjoy yourself. TGIF!
