Wanted to see how great this place is cause everyone was talking about it. My friend and I went a few days ago. The server was awesome. However idk y people obsessed with their food. We both won't be back. Im sure the cook did a great job just the recipe was weird. I gave away my burger that he didn't even want and said screw it get me extra fries!!! Idk what crap they put on their fries but EWWWWWW!!!!! Sucks cause I thought for sure I would be writing a good review read more

My husband and I dined here at 9pm on a Saturday night. The restaurant was still full so we had to wait till the hostess cleared off a table. We loved our food but we were not impressed with our waiter. He was rushing us through the whole meal and was not very friendly. We are looking forward to coming back and hopefully getting a different server. read more

after a busy day, we were tired, but needed to eat dinner. where do we go? we hashed thru our list of "regulars", eh, let's look for somewhere we've not eaten. i found the yard a gastropub in the galleria. we perused the menu. let's do it! we got there, about 7. the place was just about empty! maybe 20 in this cavernous restaurant. i saw they had booths & asked for 1. they were in the back, & turned out to be rather dark & dismal. everyone else sat in the front of the place. i guess they knew better! we weren't too hungry as we had nibbled earlier in the afternoon. so, we skipped an app, & went straight to the meals! tom got the steak salad. i got the "it's always sunny in philadelphia" grilled cheese sandwich. i got a glass of william hill cab, we both got cokes. if you know me, you know my beef with restaurants &, as tom said, "turnt" wine! dang it! does no one understand? red wine turns bad if not drunk within 1 or 2 days. if you don't sell alot of red, buy the smaller bottles!! aaaah! drives me crazy! too tired to bother, just didn't drink it. tom's steak salad looked big, & pretty good. the sunnyside up egg was a nice touch! but waffle fries don't go on a steak salad! he said the dressing was "watered down" tasting too. my sandwich wasn't bad! it could have used a little more meat & a little more "toasty looking", but otherwise, ok. the cole slaw was alright. the homemade chips were pretty decent too. everything was, alright, not great, alright. even the service was, alright. we may have considered dessert if the waitress came around a little more. i don't know. it was good, but. we'll probably go elsewhere next time.. read more

Be prepared to stuff yourself. We were excited to try The Yard at the Galleria. We arrived on a Sunday evening and they had a 20 minute wait which was fine because they have an area for you to sit and order drinks & appetizers (aside from the bar). The atmosphere inside is super cool. An industrial yet inviting feel. I would love to come back here for Happy Hour during a Pens game to watch on one of their many TVs. Every server in the restaurant was amazing as well! Very helpful and friendly. I would give 5 stars if I could stop here. We had an appetizer of Buffalo Chip Dip which was delicious and a great portion. You can get pita or chips. It's a little spicy, but we like that! Now onto the main dish. Obviously we all got grilled cheeses because that is what we are here for! Each grilled cheese comes with tomato soup and a side (potato chips, fresh fries, Mac n cheese, tater tots, onion rings). It is cool because you have different seasoning options for the sides too. We each got a different side and they were so good! My Mac n cheese was amazing. However, the Grilled Cheeses were unfortunately not good. Mine had 3 layers of cheese and was just a hard brick of cheese. The bread was greasy and made my stomach hurt immediately. The sandwiches were just too large to even be able to enjoy. If you are into greasy, messy, hard sandwiches, then you will enjoy this. I will say they have a TON of different options for Grilled Cheeses with chicken, pork, and vegetarian. The tomato soup also lacked flavor and was not thick enough for me. Honestly if this was not a grilled cheese joint I would give 4, maybe even 5 stars. But I cannot get over how unappetizing all 4 of our grilled cheeses were. I will definitely be back for the atmosphere, service and apps. However, I do not see myself trying a Grilled Cheese again. read more

I have a gluten allergy and the Yard's gluten free bread is the best. Last night my mom and I went to the yard for burgers. Mom asked for her burger cooked rare and the server said that she would get rare. It was cooked medium, but mom ate it any way with no complaints. When the server saw that it wasn't cooked to order she complained to the manager. They provided a rare burger for us to take home and discounted the burger she ate. It's really nice to see they way that was handled. read more

Just had a meal off of the brunch meal. It was really GOOD ! it was a loaded breakfast bowl with all the fixing. You get a ton of food for the price. Lengthy beer list with a variety selection, price accordingly. I would certainly suggest eating here. Im going to have a gourmet grilled cheese next time i come as they looked absolutely spectacular and i found out that they are know for that. Overall great experience read more

I have been to the Yard many times and have never been disappointed. I typically go with coworkers one on one or in groups. The restaurant is known for their cheese sandwiches and they don't disappoint. However, may favorite is the steak salad. It is huge, full of steak and fries and a fried egg. The value is good and the service is very quick for a business lunch. I have also been for both informal and large planned/catered happy hours. The food and drink are great and happy hour specials are also competitive with other downtown spots. read more

Reliably good grilled cheeses. Sides are just the right size without being glutinous. Beer menu is fun but maybe too many IPAs

This place was fantastic and I can't wait to go back and try more of "The Official Grilled Cheese of the Pittsburgh Penguins." I had a delicious pulled chicken variation along with the chips. Sandwich was amazing, chips left a little to be desired as they were too well cooked for my liking. Next time I'll get the fries (which I helped myself to from my son's plate). Can't wait to return! read more

Their menu sounds delicious, but each time I've went, I've found my food to be just average. Unless you're really craving a grilled cheese and are too lazy to make it yourself, I'd go somewhere else. The service is also pretty slow...They do get a plus though for a good beer selection. read more

What a disappointment. The Yard is outstanding in SoCal. The Galleria location in Pittsburgh is a bust. Came for lunch, out of Yard burgers at 12 Noon?? Every other menu at lunch is aGrilled Cheese on Texas Toast. I was told by the waiter The Yard menu is completely different all ver the country. This menu is designed for Pittsburgh. After drinking our beers, the waiter miraculously reported they now have Yard burgers? Don't bother...chain restaurant FAIL read more

Just stopped in for the first time for a snack with a friend. Nice atmosphere. Clean. Friendly staff and prompt service. We shared the Pub Pretzels. They arrived hot and crunchy on the outside with two sauces. Everything was very good. read more

Love this place! Everything was great! Had a delicious grilled cheese sandwich with BBQ sauce. Beer selection is tremendous too! Did have to wait a bit longer than they quoted me so that is why I give a 4 star and not a 5. Update: are here the other night & absolutely loved the Mac attack grilled cheese sandwich. Excellent sandwich creation. read more

OMG don't get me started on The Yard. First, i came in and had the Mac attack balls. OMG they were the best thing I've ever tried. Then the main course. The grilled cheese. OMG it was also the best thing I have ever tasted. I recommend going to this place because it has the best grilled cheese and Mac attack balls ever. read more

My wife and I stopped here after one of those days, we were in a car accident, then went to the Benedum to see "Rock of Ages" then went to the Strip to eat (I see why a lot of people hate it there, no place to park, price gouging parking lots and nasty people) so we left the city tired and hungry and headed down route 19 Looking for a good place to eat , then we heard about this place!! So we get there, handicap accessible elevator (A+ since I struggle with steps) we're greeted very nicely by two ladies working the front, we were seated immediately with menus in hand, our waitress Shelby was very nice , a good waitress and very knowledgeable of the menu! We started off with an appetizer, Yard Poutine w/Cheese curds & beer cheese! My wife got the Los Pollos Hermanos Grilled Cheese and I had the Pierogies N'AT Grilled Cheese and both were Outstanding!! We loved this place and will definitely go back! read more

Slightly dispointed. Service is always spotty. Food is average at best. Very greasy. The only plus is the beer list.

Enjoyed lunch today at The Yard. It's new in the Galleria. Check it out! Food was delicious! Service was excellent!! read more

2 of us arrived at 730 and was told it'd be a 45 minute wait. We ended getting a table 5 minutes later. Our waiter was great, super friendly and attentive to our needs thoughtout the meal. We were in and out of there in an hour which is nice. It was quite full, the bar was packed and there are plenty of tv's too. We started off with a couple drinks, the Liquid Encourage-Mint (tasted great but very low on the rum!) and a Blonde Walked into a Beer, a blend of 2 beers, orange bitters and honey syrup. We started off with an order of the Poutine, as a Canadian girl this is something I can't resist. Nice big bowl of fresh cut fries covered in a stout gravy, not usually my favorite but this one was mild and I loved it. Lots of cheese curds that melted all over it and a side of beercheese (yuck, not my thing ) For our entrees we went with the Hail Caesar and the Dr. Dobak grilled cheeses. The Caesar tasted just as described, a Caesar salad turned into a grilled cheese sandwich. I will say the chickened did not taste blackened to me, but nevertheless it was tasty and tender. I loved dipping this sandwich into the tomato soup...a perfect match! The Dr. Dobak was stuffed full of tender and juicy short rib meat and cheese. Overall it was a great meal, not cheap by any means, but good food and good service are worth a nice weekend meal. read more

I would like to start off by saying, if you are OBSESSED with grilled cheese sandwiches, I think you should give this place a whirl. With that being said, I can get down with a good grilled cheese as much as the next guy but this wasn't my spot. I tried it out twice, but wasn't blown away either time. The bread was a little too buttered which kind of overpowered the sandwich I picked. The tomato soup was a little too saucy for my taste, but my friend loved it. They did have a nice beer selection, so that is a definite plus. While I won't be rushing to get there anytime soon, I won't say that I will NEVER come back. read more

This place has a cool atmosphere. The pub pretzels are awesome and the selection of beers is great. I had the buffalo chicken dip grilled cheese (Frank the Tank) with the tomato soup and house made chips. Great combination. We finished with the dessert that is covered in marshmallow fluff. Cant remember the name but it's great. Our waitress did a fantastic job also. We will be back. read more

Tons of beer on tap and grilled cheese with tomato soup. Cant get any better than that.

I've never tried this location and was pleasantly surprised! It was only moderately busy and service was fast! I came her for brunch with my friends and while the food was great, the service made the experience much better. Ryan, our server, was funny and we loved him! Will be back for sure! read more

The Yard is one of my favorite places to eat in Pittsburgh! I've been to the other two locations several times, but this was my first visit to this location. We attended with a large group (30) for Saturday morning brunch and were not disappointed. We had the pleasure of sitting in a side room all to ourselves, it was significantly warmer in the room, but that didn't make or break our brunch. The staff was patient with us and very friendly despite there being so many of us. The brunch menu is to die for and everything sounds delicious, it makes ordering difficult - chicken and waffle sliders or snozberry pancakes?! Bottomless mimosas or a boozy coffee beverage?! Overall we had a great group experience at The Yard and are already deciding when we want to visit again! read more

If it wasn't for the Weird layout, and having to wait standing on the stairs for the hostess to seat you it'd be 5 stars. I have a lot of food restrictions and through the loud noise the waitresses listen and get me what I need. Foods really good, drinks are strong. read more

The service was fine, but the food was bad. It reminded me of being a poor college student putting together a cheap meal consisting of leftovers slapped between two slices of Texas toast. read more

Oh my goodness, so glad we stopped here!! My fiancé and I are total foodies and this place was a perfect stop after a day of traveling. Natalie was our waitress and she was absolutely outstanding! She was sooo friendly, and had wonderful conversation. Somebody give her a raise!! read more

A favorite of ours. We enjoy a variety of their menu items: Buffalo chicken dip, flatbreads, burgers, brunch foods! All good! Would recommend. read more

Pleased with my recent visit to this newer location. They were busy on a Friday night at 7pm but we we seated immediately. Our waiter was very nice and funny. Service time wasn't bad actually. I know other reviewers were not happy with that. Part of my order was incorrect but the waiter fixed it promptly. There was some sort of water problem going on around the bar and they were mopping basically the entire time we were there but it didn't bother me. I had the 'shrooms sandwich and my husband the buffalo chicken dip sandwich. I enjoyed the shrooms and recommend it to those wanting something different. The crust of the bread was very crispy which is my only complaint. Buffalo chicken dip is pretty spicy so avoid if you don't like that. Also, there was tons of it on the sandwich as you can see in my pic. Would come back. Definitely check it out if you like gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. read more

Great service from Natalie! Food was delivered quickly. Nice craft beer selection. Definitely will return soon.

I took my family of 4 here for dinner on a Saturday night after hearing good things. We couldn't have been more disappointed. We tried to make a reservation ahead of time but they don't take reservations on the weekend. The wait for a table was 1 hour, which I can understand because it was 6:30pm on a Saturday, an obviously busy time. We got our table exactly 1 hour later. Our server wasn't bad but she was clearly in a rush and stressed out. We felt rushed the entire meal. The food came out pretty fast but was an absolute mess. Everything was insanely greasy and undercooked. The fries were basically raw potatos. The tomato soup was thick like oatmeal and not even edible. The only special request we gave was no mustard on one of the sandwiches. It came out covered in mustard. I just ate it because at this point we were just trying to get out of there. The bill came out.....$65 for 4 glorified grilled cheese sandwiches and drinks for 2 adults and 2 kids. Overpriced to say the least. Two of us started feeling sick to our stomachs immediately after the meal. I can still feel the meal laying in my stomach as I'm writing this, 16 hours later. Needless to say....we will not be back. read more

We were seated, got our drinks and then we waited an additional 35 minutes without any service. We weren't able to get the attention of another waitress to be served and when I went up front to ask them to send a server, nobody was up there for over 10 minutes. We were there for a total of 38 minutes and had only received orange juice in the beginning so we left cash on the table and left. read more

For a place that is supposedly known for their gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, these guys fell horribly short of the mark. Eat 'n Park makes a better grilled cheese! I got the Cho-bowski, supposedly one of their top sandwiches. It came on plain white bread that was barely buttered much less grilled. The "cheese" was a handful of shredded cheese that had been overcooked (maybe even microwaved?) onto the bread. The tomato slice was horrible thin and added nothing to the sandwich. Overall it was dry, tasteless, and boring. It was also a waste of money at $12. The homemade chips were overcooked and flavorless and the tomato soup was less than tasteless. The only good thing about our experience was the waitress. read more

Went to the Yard with a group of 5 on 10/4. We were seated quickly and ordered drinks. The beer list was good, and mine was tasty. One of the group ordered the sangria and reported that it was tasteless. 4 of us ordered sandwiches, one ordered a steak from the local menu. It took a very long time for our food to arrive, then we got 3 sandwiches and the steak. After we were halfway done the other sandwich arrived. I had the caprese, it wAs ok but somehow it was bland. I would try something else. Maybe it was first week problems, I'll go back, but the Yard was comparable to Primantis read more

Terrible service - rushed our table and the table next to us (I saw those ladies complain). As soon as we sat down waitress wouldn't even let us look at menu - wanted our order. Didn't refill drinks. Still eating and she came over asking if she could get us boxes. They weren't busy and we were there for 40 minutes start to finish. Food is just meh - tomato soup is not great. Sandwich very greasy. Will not be back. read more

DON'T GO FOR THE BOTTOMLESS DEAL. They shorted us on drinks and were complete a**holes about it. We had been keeping track of our own mimosas and had just finished #6!!!! (not even half way) when she cut us off. If you're going to charge for a "bottomless" mimosa deal, you better damn well be supplying at least HALF of what's promised! Spoke to the manager, who lacked any backbone whatsoever. Will not be going back. read more

Sam was great, she accommodated our rare night out, and made it the best possible! She even takes note to the little requests. Highly recommend the yard for drink specials, and the grilled cheese is the house specialty! Will be back in the future without question. read more

So happy they opened a Yard at the Galleria! The decor is very cool, and the service was very good! The food there is always yummy, the only reason I left one star out is I do think they use a bit too much butter. Some of the food, ie the bread on the grilled cheese is a bit too greasy for me, but still delicious! The sweet potato fries are also great, the cinnamon butter they bring with it is to die for!!!! read more

The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because they sadly got rid of the bloody mary bar at the galleria one. Other than that the beer selection is amazing and the happy hour is almost as good as the loose moose (if you know of the place). Their prices are very reasonable. I however did not care for the signature grilled cheeses as the Texas toast had so much butter on it, I almost felt like I was eating the stick of butter. Couple that with a nice juicy 34 oz beer, heartburn soon kicked in. Their brunch menu looks very good and will have to go back to try it. read more

The food is always excellent as well as the service. Some of the best waiters and waitresses around.

Food is pretty good, very heavy meals with mega grilled cheese with many varieties like chicken, veggie, etc. nice setup and kid friendly. Seems expensive for the quality of the food. read more
