    Nice nostalgic feels, great specialty cocktails, even better double smash burgers! I love that they serve Alameda Soda. Nice patio self serve seating. Friendly team. Yummy ranch and perfect fries. Support your local establishments!

    Burgers and fries and lemonade
    Liliana H.

    Amazing and kind service. Only forgot to tell us lemonade was refill but we did get some refill at the end. All good was great. Smash burger and chicken and fries. I noticed the fancy fries had some pepperoncinis in it, wish I ordered extra to put in my burger too. Overall very tasty and I'd come again. Outdoors was great weather under the umbrella on Mother's Day weekend. Only thing is someone was trying to save the spot for other people who weren't there yet. Thankfully they did give us the table.

    chicken sandwich
    Serena H.

    The chicken sandwich was awesome. Good size portion and they're generous with sauce on the side. Great flavor and juicy chicken! The location also had a nice outdoor area to enjoy eating at. I heard that the burgers aren't as good though - would recommend the chicken sandwich instead!

    The Yard is definitely a family-friendly spot and one of our go-to places to meet friends. We brought our dog along this time, which is always a plus for us. This wasn't our first visit, and once again, everything was great. I wish I had snapped a photo of the food, but we've consistently been more than satisfied every time we come. It's usually pretty busy, but we've noticed it starts to quiet down around 7 p.m., so that's a good time to come if you prefer a more relaxed vibe. They've got large TVs playing games, which adds to the fun atmosphere. The cocktails were delicious. My root beer old fashioned had the perfect hint of root beer without being overpowering, and my wife's spicy margarita tasted super fresh with just the right amount of jalapeño heat. We shared the chicken sandwich (a favorite from our last visit) along with the crinkle-cut fries and their ranch, which is honestly out of this world. Another great experience at The Yard, we'll definitely be back!

    While in Brentwood we decided to check this place out. Small indoor seating and large outdoor seating area. Lots of room for the kiddos. Good crowd on a Sunday afternoon. Service was good. The smash burger was ok. Maybe it would be better with grilled buns, lettuce and tomato. We enjoyed the filthy fries, though I'd ask for less toppings. The fries on the bottom were drowned in sauce and cheese. We also had the coconut pineapple coladas. Very good. All in all, our lunch was ok. Would I drive out here just to eat here, no.

    Great place to hang out with friends and the kids! Everything on the menu tastes great and their bar mixes up some really good refreshing drinks. Their smash burger and chicken sando are my 2 favorite menu items but you really can't go wrong with any choice. Plus they have a dedicated frier for their fries so it's a gluten free option as well!

    The burgers are so delicious fries are so yummy very crispy. And they have a full bar .. We went for the first time to celebrate my daughters birthday.. all my family members enjoy it.

    Dirty glasses sticky tables

    Went on Sunday, wasn't busy, but lots of tables were left with dirty glasses, food scattered about, floor dirty with scraps and trash. Ordered one beer and fries and a mocktail and came away with paying $35! Fries were ok and "free" sauce provided BUT heck that's expensive especially when the floors and tables are sticky and dirty. Not sure we're rushing back unfortunately. Check out the photo of the stale mint "bush" that was thrown in the mocktail ...,

    Cheese Burger

    the single is too small i'm ngl fries were delish though. kinda expensive for what you get

    Chicken salad with old dry chicken
    Brenda G.

    Got the chicken salad ask for grilled chicken and got old dry chicken thighs that have probably been sitting out! Looks like a great place but if you cant even give a decent salad you suck! This was my first time here

    Lemonade
    Eric B.

    Nothing special. I got the double and the filthy fries. The sauce they use both on the burgers and fries has some kick. The burger was decent, however I wanted the patty edges more crispy. The onions were really good. As for my lemonade, it was super watered down. The service wasn't too bad. They took our order and gave us a buzzer to let us know when our order was ready. The ambiance inside was tiny with 3 table. The outside is where it's at. Lots of picnic benches they even have Jenga and corn hole. The chicken sandwich I saw someone get looks good. I would come back for that. I might be back.

    Came to Brentwood to try this place specifically it was a suggestion on my insta feed. The videos made it look way better then it actually is. Overall it was just okay. The smash burgers are so greasy the bottom bun was soggy and I would say over all everything was over seasoned so salty. The flavors were all very overpowering making it tough to experience and enjoy each element of the food. Also the indoor seating is limited and when a large party is sitting like a vulture to take your table it makes the visit slightly uncomfortable. Overall the food was decent it's not bad but could definitely improve.

    What a fun resturant! This is the perfect resturant for families with small kids. Outside seating with corn hole and some fun toys! Water available for everyone to help themselves. The menu is small but delicious! The smash burgers have a sauce similar to in and out. Fries were crispy. We will definitely be back!

I got there walked up to the bar was not greeted by the bartender. I wanted to buy a cocktail and yet no one helped me so I sat outside for a little bit went back in still no help so then I went to a different place and only came back because I wanted to be around the music. When I came back, there was a lot more people music was playing, and I sat at the bar waited for the bartender for over an hour, and there were two behind the bar. They totally just ignored me. I was quiet I wasn't acknowledged at all I tried to raise my hand to get their attention and they just totally acted like they didn't want to be there and we're just helping the people they knew it was a horrible experience as I talked to a few of the locals that go there they said that yeah the bartenders are not very friendly unless they know you well then why the heck would anybody want to go there? I was very disappointed and that will be the last time that I go there I will take my business and my friends to the local spot around the corner. The drink that I finally got because a man had to wave down the bartender and said she's been waiting wasn't even made correctly. It was a simple, three ingredient drink, and yet a bartender he screwed up. I did not complain. I let it go. I paid my bill, which was higher than it should've been and I still tipped well, even though I probably shouldn't have tipped because he did not deserve it because of the service and serving me not what I ordered, but that's not me so I tipped had my cocktail talk to a few people and left. That will definitely be my last time ever going there.

Our server was extremely rude, and at one point our food was simply left for us to pick up ourselves because we were sitting off to the side and were not being attended to. We ordered the charcuterie board, which was served on a paper plate and surrounded by peanuts. This became a serious concern because my friend has a severe, potentially life-threatening peanut allergy. We immediately brought this to the staff's attention and asked whether anything else was prepared separately or could safely be served without exposure to peanuts. Instead of taking the concern seriously, we were met with laughter and a response that they "didn't know." What was especially concerning is that the menu did not clearly identify peanut allergens or provide any clear allergy information, and when we specifically brought up a potentially life-threatening allergy, there did not seem to be any urgency, concern, or willingness from the staff to help us determine what would be safe to eat. Food allergies are not something to joke about or dismiss. Unfortunately, the experience continued to go downhill. The shots we were served were visibly dirty, and the overall atmosphere and customer service left a lot to be desired. I understand that mistakes can happen, but the way a restaurant responds when a customer raises a serious food allergy concern is extremely important. We expected basic attentiveness, cleanliness, and professionalism, and unfortunately received none of those things. Overall, a very disappointing experience and definitely not somewhere I would feel comfortable returning to, especially for anyone with a serious food allergy.

Although people post pictures of the food-- the menu is constantly rotating and changing on a day-to-day basis and a seasonal basis so the food you see might not always be the same menu. I really like that because it makes it a consistent date spot because the food is constantly changing and it's a new experience every time. The food itself was amazing because everything's handmade and farm-to-table. Everything is seasoned so nicely, presented, with super fresh quality ingredients. You can tell the kitchen staff are highly trained and have exquisite taste buds. Would recommend for anyone looking for a new date spot, cocktail bar, or special restaurant for a special occasion!

The manager Rex was very nice to accommodate our huge party. He had this great smile and great energy to match our group! Honorable mention - thank you Steve for playing the Sax. A bonus entertainment. Tips: This restaurant is located in a golf course so it might be confusing to find at first. But if you have the correct address you will get there. Thank you to Rex and staff for the hospitality and for not rushing us out when it was near closing time! Until next time...

The plate was extremely hot, the pork was very tough and seemed undercooked for a dish that should be tender, and nearly half of the meat was fat. I also found multiple bay leaves mixed into the burrito. The chips were so heavily salted that they were practically inedible. I actually had to rub some of the salt off before eating them.
