After we bought our mandolin yesterday we decided to walk around the corner and get an early dinner at the Yard House.
I ordered off the “House Specialty” menu and had a Jerk Chicken and Shrimp Stack Enchilada. The roasted chili rellenos in the sauce made it really really tasty. Michael ordered the 10oz. Fillet with Brandy Cream Sauce. The presentation of this dish was just the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. Really. That’s a lump of mashed potatoes, with asparagus spokes underneath the steak.
And to top it off, it had the little wooden stick in it that said M. Rare. I don’t know about you, but the only other place I have ever, EVER ordered a steak at that used those sticks is the Sizzler. If you’re going to take that much time to build a stupid ($25.00) food mountain, then for God’s sake PLEASE take out the wood stick!
On this day..

Claim Jumper uses those steak sticks too, though I haven’t noticed them so much when only one person in our group orders steak.
Kirsten - do they really? I don’t think I have ever ordered a steak from CJ 
Last time I was there, they did. FH and his friends visiting from out of town all got steak, and they all had steak sticks on them. I don’t usually get steak, but I noticed these because FH likes his steak blue (just cooked enough so that it’s not raw) and CJ is the only place that does it, but his steak stick said rare. I guess they don’t have a blue stick.

Hahahaha! That is so funny! It reminds me of this goofy, vegetarian dinner my mom got at a silly, fancy restaurant in NYC!! I begged her to just pick up food at the market that night, but, nooo…
LMAO!!
I wonder if they have any other odd food presentations!

But if you don’t get the stick, you can’t play out a tiny war against the steak.
asparagus: we didn’t land on meat rock, meat rock landed on us
Lol, I had a good chuckle over there! Great post.

Wow! Maybe the asparagus were protecting the steak from being eaten?

Hey mashed potatoes is my all time favorite but I dont think I would like to eat this kind of it and would not for sure pay that much for it.
I love the Yard House!!! Not a big fan of the stick though!
