We took the family here this past weekend. The family means 4 adults & 3 kids aged 4-6. We had a terrific time. The waitress was very attentive to the kids, which we appreciated big time. The kids menu worked out well, with the chicken nuggets being a huge hit. The mac & cheese didn't work out so well, but that was only because there were some black dots that Max was NOT keen on! On the adult side, we were all happy with our grilled cheese sandwiches. I had the Big Chew-bowski (fried egg & bacon) & liked it. Next time I'm planning to try the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which my son-in-law had & loved. I was very happy with my white lightening pale ale beer & will definitely have it again next time. read more

I really hate giving poor reviews, but I have to when food makes you sick. My mom and I came here after some shopping at the Galleria and we both ordered some of their gourmet grilled cheeses. They tasted okay, more like a sandwich than a grilled cheese, and I took my leftovers home. About an hour later, something just wasn't right in my stomach, and you can guess the rest. I have a stomach made of steel, so I was nervous when the onset of symptoms came on so fast. Finally after a couple of hours, I relaxed and my mom called me late at night and said she was having similar problems. It was AWFUL. Nothing really else to say about this place, one bad experience can taint it forever! read more

The Yard is a chain restaurant and I was looking forward to my first opportunity to try it. They occupy the top floor of the Galleria shopping center near the junction of Connor and Washington Roads. I had some time to kill before my hair apt so I stopped over here to grab a bite to eat. While they are known for various grilled cheeses and drafts they had a good selection of salads and burgers to choose from. I was seated fairly quickly. My waitress took time out to explain the menu to me. I ordered the bison burger but I was a little concerned about the spicy sauce that comes with it. She was nice enough to put it on the side for me. Your utensils and napkins are in a holder in the center of your table so there's plenty for all my needs. The bar area is in the center of the restaurant. All sandwiches come strictly with chips. You can for a slight upcharge swap those out for fries, coleslaw or even the vegetable of the day. Today it was buttered asparagus. They also have a soup of the day. Today was chili and I really wasn't in the mood for another salad to go with it. I got my food within a reasonable amount of time. My bison burger came with the usual lettuce, tomato, etc toppings and was indeed a thick cut. It was very good and very filling. I also enjoyed the asparagus which is one of my favorite vegetable and the melted butter that was poured over it was a nice touch. This place has their own rest room and if it is too difficult to climb stairs they have an elevator which will take you to the main floor. You can park anywhere both inside or outside the Galleria to come here. I was very pleased with my visit and am looking forward to returning to try out their other offerings. read more

Had brunch there yesterday and I was shocked at how small the portions were. Had the chicken a waffle sliders and they gave me basically a shot glass size container of syrup. Waffle was ok but the chicken was a small frozen Pattie you can get in a box at Aldies. The Bloody Mary I got was the worst I have ever had but the garnish was cool. Place was clean and our server was very good but a $100.00 dollar brunch is very pricey for what you get. I will never go there for brunch again. Although burgers I seen people getting looked pretty good and I love a good burger so may return to give them one more chance. read more

The comfort food here is always consistently delicious, and the portions are generous. It's the perfect spot for a hearty and affordable meal, and the friendly staff make you feel right at home. read more

I had such an excellent experience at the yard in the galleria! I came here on a busy Friday night around 6 with a couple of friends expecting to have a bit of a wait. Wrong! We were seated immediately and soon after our waiter, Anthony L came over to grab our drinks. He was so pleasant and friendly! He swiftly came back with our drinks and we put in our food order. Maybe 10 minutes later our food came out and everything was right! I got the Blackened Chicken Caesar Salad and it was great! The chicken was cooked perfectly. I'm always a little iffy with chicken but this was amazing! There was just enough of everything in the salad. We were in and out within an hour & I was so thoroughly impressed with this visit! Everything from the quick service, great waiter, and awesome food, the Yard earned my 5 stars! read more

We stopped in the Yard over Thanksgiving break with family. My parents were excited to bring us in since someone we went to grade school with is one of the owners. I have to say it's quite a great concept. Grilled cheese, comfort food, sports, great service and beers galore! Our server, Wayne, was just fantastic and he explained to us that he's been around for almost all of the openings of the Yard. Their service was great - we saw about 5-7 different people throughout the meal refilling our drinks or clearing plates. Usually, you always have to wait for your server, but it was a very good team approach to their service model. Since it was our first time in, we figured we had to try the grilled cheese, but they have other items then grilled cheese! The menu items had rather creative names too! I had the "Big Che-bowski" on gluten free bread. Couldn't have been happier that they had gluten free bread. We also started with the buffalo chicken dip with the creative name "I dip, you dip, we dip". The chicken dip was served with corn tortillas too. The staff was knowledgeable or will ling to find out which items were safe for gluten free people and which were not. The grilled cheese comes with two sides, and there's a variety of items that you can upgrade to for a small charge. My husband had the mac and cheese and said it was just as amazing as others had told us. Can't wait to go back! read more

The food was amazing. I can't say enough about the staff. they were phenomenal!! I would highly recommend this place!!

Tate was our server on a large party and he did an amazing job. The group was booked by Braden and he was very accommodating for our needs. We look forward to coming back in the near future. read more

Was sat at the bar, took 15 min to get someone to take our order, we had to ask the hostess to send someone over,, it happened to be the bartender. I got a margarita and it was horrid, ordered a new one and it was worse. The bartender said she was from a different location. I watched her read recipes, for a margarita? How can you be a bartender and not make a margarita. It tasted like sugar water. I realize we are in covid times, but they were dead, no customers. My brother ordered a ginger ale and jack, he got a jack and coke? We just took it didn't want to complain and get our food spit on. The Yard sucks read more

The food was ok, some dishes we tried were good and some were really bad. I ordered a specialty drink, a mai tai and it was packed full of ice and it tasted water down with no flavor. Service wasn't good but that is because only one girl waiting tables on a Wednesday night. read more

I have been to the new yard location twice so far, once for brunch and once for dinner. Both times I have had a really great experience and our waiters were awesome. The waiters were kind, talkative, and attentive, even on a super busy night. As for the food, I ordered the snozberry pancakes and they were delicious! They were huge and I even took some home to share. The waiter gave me two different syrups to try, one was plain and one was maple bacon (yum). As for dinner, I ordered the buffalo mac and cheese sandwich and it was also amazing. They have a great drink selection to choose from as well. I ordered a raspberry cider and will definitely be going back for more :) I can say that on a weekend, use the open table app to make a reservation since it gets busy, or you will be waiting a very long time. read more

Food was "ok", server was a little strange, probably wouldn't return, I've eaten at other locations of this chain, this one disappoints.

Went for a weeknight to try out the new location. It's inside the Galleria mall, where there's a good section of parking above and tons of parking in the garage below. This is located at the tippy top of the mall so you either have to walk up a set of stairs or if you have a wheelchair/etc, there's an elevator that I think you have to take from the bottom floor? To be honest it's a little tough to find your way up to the restaurant if you aren't able to walk up the stairs. My friend and I got some cocktails and poutine tots to share. The tots were fried perfectly & the gravy and melted cheese were delicious! The beer cheese on the side, however tasted chalky and yucky. The inside is open and airy and very industrial. There are standard tables and also the high tops near the bar (which I hate- where am I going to put my purse??) I will definitely be back to watch a hockey game and eat, or have a nice lunch before catching a movie at the theatre right outside the restaurant. read more

Stopped in for a little happy hour power hour. Just beer specials, and $2 off of appetizers. I love that this location sits on the top floor of the Galleria - it was great people watching and with all of the holiday lights - it made for a really lovely ambiance. read more

The menu (a whole page of grilled cheese selections, great appetizer choices, etc.) is exactly my kind of food. I must go back a lot to try the different grilled cheese options. They have a large beer selection and a couple ciders on tap, which was nice, too. The service was wonderful and when we noticed we hadn't received part of what we ordered, they gave us extra to take home to make up for it (totally unnecessary). I'm shocked that they've been open less than a month an everything is already so good. The cajun chips were a bit disappointing, since we thought they'd be spicier and even the ones where there was a ton of seasoning on top didn't have a kick. It also seems like they put the seasoning on after the chips have cooled (rather than having a place to make and store each kind of chip immediately), which meant the seasoning fell off easily. I'm still looking forward to trying the other chip options, but I hope they start seasoning them a bit better. read more

Former employee at this location that parted ways on bad terms. Hope u are ready for brutal honesty. Im not gonna hold back, sit down for this... In my 20+ years in the service industry i have rare seen such a well maintained and clean kitchen. The staff there is commendable for their passion and efforts. From dishwashers, food runners, hostesses, servers and line cooks, they put forth all they got and more to make every customer feel welcome and food to be delicious. No one is perfect, mistakes are made, but every attempt is made to fix even the slightest mistake. Their management on the other hand, ...is quite possibly the best ive seen when it comes to the best they can do and concern for their staff. The whole work atmosphere is very friendly and comfortable. The Chef is extremely talented, ud be suprised at the level of chef they employ being they are a mac and cheese ect place. If they are running a brunch or dinner special dont pass it up. The owners are young, involved, and care about each employees well being. A group of old friends each using their individual strengths to make it all happen. There u go, the words of a disgruntled ex employee. Sorry i was so harsh, but i just had to let it be know what kinda place that is read more

Morgan was absolutely great! It was our first time at this location but she made us feel like regulars. Had such a nice time with my cousins, and will be returning very soon. read more

The Yard caught my eye at "Bottomless mimosas". One of the most iconic gastropubs in Pittsburgh. Whenever we have visitors, we tend to take them here to experience the delicious food + chill vibe it seems to give off. At brunch, I ordered the breakfast pizza and is now one of my favorite items on their menu. I'm going to order the chicken and waffles sliders next time! The only con was the warm temperature in the loft, it was hot especially with the sun coming through the windows. read more

First time at The Yard was a simple yet not the best place. If you are wanting a nice side of typical fries, this is not the place for you. My lovely date's french fries were way too crispy and were not consisting of any potatoes just crunch. The creamy broccoli cheddar soup was not the most appetizing or appealing to look at so it ruined my appetite a bit. Peirogies and grilled cheese were good and other customers said they would eat again although it is not to die for or would want to come back. Service was ok as well. Sadly disappointed with this trip to a new place and would not recommend coming. read more

We just left The Yars and had great food and even better service. We got the poutine fries which were so flavorful and absolutely delicious. The fresh cut fries weren't greasy, the gravy was full of flavor, the cheese added creaminess and the beer cheese took it to a whole different level. We also tried the heirloom tomato tartlets on their special menu and they were so good! They also were extremely flavorful with tomatoes, goat cheese and cranberries. It was sweet, salty and savory and the flavors complimented each other extremely well. They were delicate, light and beautiful. I am a vegetarian and wanted to try something different, I got Yinz Guys Hungry? Without the sirloin. The sandwich itself didn't have much flavor, but I assume that's because I removed the meat. I got onion rings and fries as my sides and enjoyed both. My bf got The Big Che-bowski and loved it. He prefers his bacon a bit more crispy than how it was served, but that's completely personal preference. He said even with that, it was absolutely fantastic and he would get it again. He had waffle sweet potato fries which were served with a cinnamon butter that was really fun and tater tots. Both of which were again really good. We really enjoyed the food, but the service was incredible. The gentleman and woman who waited on us were attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable, accommodating, helpful and professional. They genuinely treated us like family and friends which makes such a big difference. We look forward to returning and trying different things! read more

The Yard is always a decent experience! The menu is fun, the staff is lively, and the restaurant seats a big party. Other locations host events, and The Yard is becoming a staple name in the Pittsburgh community. For food, the portions sizes are perfect. I especially enjoyed the sweet potato waffle fries. The breakfast burrito could've used a bit more flavor in my opinion, but nevertheless, I really enjoyed everything. Everything about the Yard is reliable, and I will be back! read more

Meh. The food was mediocre. The burger I had was pretty bland. I ordered it without cheese but I've had burgers at other restaurants without cheese that were full of taste. My fiancé had the Mac and cheese sandwich and said it was just ok. I'm giving it a 3 because they had a pretty large beer selection and the waitress was very attentive to us and helpful to me being lactose-intolerant. read more

We ordered takeout from here yesterday. The food was delicious. I always appreciate restaurants that offer actual gluten free options. I was able to order my Pollos Hermanos grilled cheese with gluten free bread and grilled chicken and it was tasty! The tomato soup was a nice touch and was good too. My husband and son also enjoyed their sandwiches. Would love to go back and eat at the restaurant. read more

Disappointing first time lunch eating at The Yard. The food came out incredibly fast and was not warm, let alone hot. Grilled cheese (Monte Christo and Mac Attack) were soggy. The side dish of brussel sprouts was $4 and contained only 3 brussel sprouts, the rest was all burnt flakes. After delivering our check, the server didn't come back and we had to ask another server if we were supposed to pay at the hostess stand and she took our check for us. Before tip $35 for a disappointing lunch. read more

Was excited to try this new Yard location. Came here for brunch on a Saturday and the place was not too crowded. I started off with orange juice and my friend had coffee. I ended up getting the pierogies n' at grilled cheese as I have had that at their other locations. My friend got the fried chicken and waffle sliders. My grilled cheese was good, but it was drenched in oil. The tomato soup also had a pool of oil at the top. The chips were fine. I couldn't even finish the meal, because everything was so oily. My friend enjoyed her chicken sliders. I don't know if it was this location or what, but usually the food is not so greasy. read more

I went for brunch with a few friends from college as a little reunion. It was such a nice spot to catch up with friends, had a great beer selection and brunch menu. However, service was extremely slow. We weren't in a rush so it didn't bother us any, but if we weren't having a reunion I think it would have felt like forever. Everyone did enjoy their meal! I would give this place another shot as it could have been a 5 Star if I didn't have to wait over an hour for a burger. However, the best part (of course I didn't take a picture) was the Bloody Mary. It was served with enough garnishes to share as an appetizer! It was piled high with a mini grilled cheese bite, candied bacon, celery, pickles, olives, and peppers. Everyone was very happy with their drink! read more

As of December 2017, they're doing very well here. I like it a lot. I've dined at the Shadyside location a dozen or more times over the years. I pleased to say this Galleria location is just as good. My suggestions: - The Mac Attack is a good starting point if you're not sure about exotic grilled cheese sandwiches. - I've have three or four other grilled cheeses and have never been disappointed. - The salads are very fresh and crisp. The blackened chicken Caesar is a winner. - The grilled chicken sandwich is good; haven't tried the burger yet (and may never until I sample more grilled cheeses). Finally, I can say the servers are good. They balance a bar-crowd with the dining crowd, many times with young kids. (It's fine for families, but occasionally you might see a table of sloshed sports viewers getting a bit rowdy...) read more

Very good gastropub in the Mt. Lebanon Galleria. There is a very large selection of prime quality craft beers. If you are a craft beer connoisseur, this place is a must. If you come during happy hour from 4:30 to 6:30 all craft beer drafts are half off. This is the same discount you get at Primanti Bros across the street, but The Yard has a better selection. There's a beer listed projected in the wall and also a paper list they can give you that organizes the beers by type and gives details of the ingredients and ABV. The food is also very good and kind of unique with the grilled cheese specialty sandwiches. I really liked the Cheesy Capresey. It had various cheeses but the taste of the balsamic vinegar was prominent. Very interesting combination, and not overly cheesy. The tomato soup is a good accompaniment. The homemade chips were good but did not come straight out of the fryer--I thing they may have been sitting out. The setting and layout is also excellent. You're at the top of the mall and as you sit at the bar you can see across the whole atrium and out the windows of the Galleria. It had a very open and spacious feel. The bar in the middle of the restaurant is large with a lot of seats and there are lots of tables spread out. Lots of screens around too and a good place if a game is on. This place is highly recommended. read more

The shadyside spot is still my favorite but this is a pretty cool vibe right here in the south hills! Tons of beers on tap in heavy rotation, and the styles and tastes are wide ranging ( not 18 different IPAS) The grilled cheese is their go-to, but their other food is really pretty good. Great place to meet for happy hour or Sunday games Nice big bar and a great space in the galleria where the old Mark pi's Chinese restaurant was. read more

This place didn't disappoint!!!! Will absolutely be back again. We came knowing there would be a wait. It was a 45 minute wait, we added our names and they sent us a text to confirm we were on the list. We watched the time and walked around the galleria and got drinks elsewhere while waiting because the yards bar was packed and we couldn't even squeeze in to grab a drink to wait with. They should have an opening at the ends atleast for people to walk up and order a drink. Shortly before our table was ready we headed to the yard and waited about 5 minutes. There is almost no seating in the waiting area. They should find a new place for the high chairs and add more seating in the waiting area. The bench barely fit 4 people on it. They called our name and we never got a text saying our table was ready, weird. We were seated at a high top table near the bar. This was ok, but those tables have NO ROOM AT ALL. We could barely put a single thing on the table. I would have rather a slightly larger table so I was more comfortable. The service was good and pretty quick. We each got ipa beers which were good, nothing crazy to rave about. The menu is big! We were nervous we wouldn't be filled from a grilled cheese. We were so wrong! Very happy to say we were so stuffed, we absolutely slipped in to food comas after eating. I got the buffy the Mac attack slayer. This was a grilled cheese with Mac and buffalo chicken. It was so good! Can't wait to go back and order that same one again! I opted out of the chips that are included because I heard they're greasy and got the fries. They seem to be fresh cut fries. They were great!! You also get tomato soup with your meal. It was perfect for dipping your sandwich and fries in! It is thick and more like a tomato paste (which I normally hate, but it was very good)!! My fiancé got the wac Arnold. It is almost like a Big Mac. The description is very deceiving though. They state it has two beef patties on it. You'd expect it to be a double stacked patty sandwich. It was not. It had two tiny little patties side by side. Very odd and he would have rather a stacked double patty sandwich. He said it was still very good and that he was full. Overall, great place and packed! Will be back! read more

Beer and fancied up grilled cheese sandwiches. Perfect. We hit up the market square location a couple times a month during the workweek for lunch and the service is always on point. The mother of dragons is delicious. I'd face a Dothraki horde in an open field just to get one. The best sandwich I've had there was a special. It was a take on a sloppy joe. Let's go ahead and add that to the menu full time. read more

This was my second time at this location of The Yard. I enjoyed it the first time and a friend wanted to try it. She had never been to any of the locations. It was a freezing cold day so what sounded the best to me was The Simple Jack. It was a 4 Cheese Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup and chips. The sandwich came out and the cheese was just oozing out of the sides. YUM. I cut the sandwich in half and picked up half to eat and the cheese stretched forever. MIND BLOWN. I fell in love in the first bite. The combination of the four cheeses was perfection. The thickness of the bread held up to the huge amount of cheese. Plus it was toasted to perfection. The tomato soup has a great texture. It's not too watery or too thick. It has a lot of flavor that tends to lean toward a pasta sauce flavor. I liked that it wasn't your typical tomato soup. I could have done without the chips. I love how thin they are but they hold the oil they are cooked in so that is what they tasted like. Next time I would either have them hold the chips or try the fries. This lunch was total Comfort Food. Who doesn't love Comfort Food?? read more

Yay!! I am so so happy that The Yard is at the galleria!! The amazing location at the very top floor of the galleria has been the same restaurant for years and than was most recently vacant. I could not think of a better addition to The Galleria than The Yard. I have also visited both locations in Shady Side & Market Square and had a great experience at those locations as well. Most recently, I came here for a Sunday brunch to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday with my parents. My mom suggested making reservations- which surprised me.. but good thing we did! We had our reservations for 11:00 AM and the place was packed shortly after! I had the "basically bottomless" mimosas as my drink and Chris and my dad ordered the bloody Mary's- which they both agreed on being delicious. Although we came here for brunch.. I can't come to The Yard and NOT order a grilled cheese. If you know me.. grilled cheese is one of my favorite foods. After much consideration, I decided on the Fried Green Tomatoes sandwich. This was served with homemade chips- and I got the garlic parmesan flavor on top. Everything was amazing! My mom also ordered a grilled cheese but stuck with the Simple Jack (boring!). Chris and my dad opted for breakfast foods- the Brun-Cho's Bro and Short Rib Delight. Both agreed that they were great meals- but almost a little too hearty! I see myself coming back to The Yard many times in the future! read more

Good experience on a busy Saturday night at this suburban location. We reserved through open table and were seated immediately upon arrival. Our Waitress was attentive and personable. Food is generous and unpretentious. Beer selection looks adequate, but I'm no expert there. The fattoush salad is a fantastic vegetarian option. The rest of our group (meat eaters, every last one of them) humored me by trying the veg of the day - spicy cauliflower as an appetizer. The flavor was good, but honestly it was a little greasy. I wish they had better takeout/leftover containers; we can't recycle the styrofoam (PS6) in our curbside. And we had to wait a long time for our check. But I guess that's better than being rushed. We will definitely be back. read more

I was very excited to finally go to the Yard in my area! I have been to The Yard preciously at a different location and I was excited there was one closer. I went on a Friday night with a few co-workers. My friend used the Open Table app to make a reservation, which I highly suggest doing! We ate dinner, but mainly went for the drinks. There were a lot of beer options and some cocktails. For dinner, I had the Mother of Dragons sandwich. It was a grilled chicken sandwich with pepper jack cheese, jalapeños and a chipotle ranch sauce. I loved it!!! I had their regular house chips (which there were many different seasonings I could have chose from) and substituted a Caesar salad for the tomato soup. We were there for close to 4 hours, drinking, eating and catching up, so it was nice to not be rushed out of there, even if it was busy. I would definitely go back to this location! read more

I hate to write bad reviews, honestly i never do. But this was so bad, i only ate my food bc i was starving. There was literally no taste & it was dry i had to keep drinking water to get it down. Maybe it was just an Off night. I like to support local but prob won't order again.. read more
