We’ve got a specific vibe over here at Yard House (great food, classic rock, good beer—and loads of it) thanks in no small part to our Executive Chefs leading the charge. They oversee the day-to-day operations of their restaurants, making good on our promise to consistently deliver high quality, great tasting food to our Guests, and to create workplaces our Team Members are stoked to call their own.

What makes our House a great home?

• Paid time off: up to 3 weeks off a year within the first year

• Company-paid Retirement Plus Benefit of 1.5% of eligible salary to your 401(k) account *
• Darden Employee Stock Purchase program at a 15% discount *
