Summary

Yard House is headquartered at 1000 Darden Center Dr in Orlando, Florida and is a casual dining restaurant and bar centered on draft beer. The business dates to 1996, when the first restaurant opened in Long Beach, California. The brand pairs a draft beer program, run from a two-story keg room, with a diverse menu inspired by its California roots and with music. It offers happy hour, group dining and gift cards. Guests can join an eClub, and the company hires for roles from bartenders to chefs. Its parent company is Darden Restaurants. Yard House is the concept. Restaurants are casual dining and serve lunch and dinner with American dishes. A typical restaurant offers roughly 300 seats in about 8,000 square feet. The company's restaurants are located in major cities and suburbs across the United States.

Archived house development reportsDevelopment reports + opening-year researchSelected activity windows
The solid line follows archived house development reports through 2014. Combined records, which include later house reports and researched opening years, start in 2015 and form the dotted segment. Each restaurant address is counted once at its earliest included dated evidence.

Vector readout: The 2010–2012 window contains 5–9 selected signals across 4 states. The 2020–2022 window adds 10+ across 10+ states. The 2024–2026 combined history contains 10+ selected signals across 5+ states under broader research coverage, with a partial 2026 segment.

The 2024–2026 window has a broader source mix than the earlier house-report windows. The 2026 segment is partial. Development report years may precede the opening year recorded for a restaurant.

RestaurantData source trail: Archived house reports provide the solid trail through 2014. From 2015 on, the combined records include later house reports and researched opening years, so house reports continue within the dotted segment. A development report year and an opening year can differ for the same location.

Source: RestaurantData archived U.S. development reports and supporting restaurant-location research. Headquarters, franchisee offices, unrelated namesakes, renovations, transfers and unresolved addresses are excluded. Signal counts of 10 or more are rounded down to tens; counts from 5 to 9 use that range. State bands of 5 or more are rounded down to multiples of 5. Smaller counts are shown directly. The District of Columbia is identified separately.

The latest included dated evidence is 2026. The 2026 segment is partial. Development reports may describe planned restaurants. The six examples use the date basis shown on each card. A report year is not necessarily an opening year, and location verification dates are not used as opening dates. Historical locations may have closed.

The solid segment uses archived house report dates through 2014. Combined records, from 2015 on, add researched opening years and continuing house reports. Markers identify years with selected dated evidence; connecting lines are illustrative between those years. Coverage varies across jurisdictions and years. These selections do not represent complete opening totals, current operating units or net growth. Gaps alone do not establish a pause or contraction.

The Restaurant Enterprise Index focuses primarily on companies with a substantial role in restaurant operations. Investment firms, financial sponsors, and other ownership partners are generally not included unless they also play a meaningful operating role; an otherwise qualifying entity may also be omitted when sufficient reliable information is unavailable.

The ownership hierarchy follows the entity structure from the bottom up, showing the profiled entity in relation to its parent organizations, including its ultimate parent. When the entity owns or operates concepts beneath it, up to three are displayed.

Verify Our Data Methodology

  • Foundation: Active state business registries form the primary backbone of every record.
  • Sources: Publicly available filings throughout, including public Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs).
  • Integrity: Zero proprietary third-party databases utilized.
  • Verification: Entity/concept records are validated at the source by our in-house research team.

Leveraging Human-Verified Connections

  • Collection: Filings and public records are gathered through intake procedures.
  • Verification: In-house researchers review every record before it enters the database.
  • Ownership Chain: Where relationships can be established, researchers work upward from a concept headquarters or single concept through parent, grandparent, and ultimate parent, resolving operators into one connected structure.

Maintaining the Longitudinal Record

  • Duration: Continuous tracking since 1997. Twenty-nine years of unit-level history.
  • Method: Same methodology applied across the full period so year-over-year comparisons hold.
  • Change Tracking: Openings, closures, ownership transfers, and operator consolidation are recorded as they occur, not backfilled.
  • Result: Expansion and contraction trends visible over decades, not snapshots.
