text: It is chain restaurant which I generally eschew in favor local businesses But close to where my friends office is so we meet there for drinks and snacks I have not had a dinner here at Desert Ridge I ate a Yard House in California and In Vegas for business dinners with groups and it was like driving a nice Honda Accord not a bad ride but not a BMW experience They are a chain and have a business model not like local owners who live and thrive on making the folks happy because it is their living not a job But enough about shop localnn I suppose if you like the yard house in Arizona you will like them in their dozens of restaurants across the country They are kind of like OliveGarden on steroids If I took my wife there for our anniversary she would melt downand divorce me I mean if I had a wife I basing this on former wives nnBut Now the GREAT thing about the yard house at least happy hour They have some gardein vegan options which I like And my friend who is a carnivore always is amazed how good they taste Wow this tastes like chicken nnSo kudos for Yard House realizing there is a market for vegetarians and vegans to enjoy some food with their beer nnGood place to meet after work and choose from dozens of beers on tap And vegan options
