Areas has opened the first-ever airport Yard House at William P. Hobby Airport (HOU). Known for its lively atmosphere, classic comfort food, and extensive selection of draft beers, Yard House brings a dynamic new dining experience to airport travelers.
Designed to attract and captivate passengers with large screen televisions, classic rock music, and 40+ beers on tap, the new Yard House offers travelers a destination restaurant with offerings for everyone. Travelers can choose from a menu that draws from all corners of the world, creating a wide variety of crowd-pleasing items from the Two Pepper Jack Prime Burger to the Onion Ring Tower, while beer aficionados can choose anything from porters, ales and local craft brews to award-winning beers from all over the world.
At its core, Yard House is about creating memorable social experiences through great music, food, and hospitality—making it a natural fit for Areas’ airport dining portfolio, the company said. “We’re excited to bring this iconic franchise to Houston Hobby,” said Carlos Bernal, CEO of Areas USA. “Yard House brings the kind of crave-worthy food and high- energy vibe that lets travelers relax, recharge, and truly enjoy their pre-flight experience.”
Yard House is part of the Darden family of restaurants and operates more than 90 locations across 27 states.
“We’re excited to open our first Yard House franchise and our first airport location at Houston Hobby,” said Brad Smith, president of Darden Franchising. “Partnering with Areas allows us to share Yard House’s globally inspired menu, expansive beer selection, and energetic atmosphere with travelers in a market that is home to so many loyal guests.”
The new Yard House is located in the Central Concourse, near gates 23 and 25.
