The Yard - Are Yinz Hungry? Yummy! - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My co-worker had heard of this place (near the market square) and it was near our hotel so we went in search ... I had the fried green tomato grilled cheese sandwich (with bacon). I'm a grilled cheese and tomato soup lover to the max so this really hit the spot for me. The sandwich was served with tomato soup and I upgraded my fries to mac and cheese. Everything was spot on and deliciously gooey and filling. You can't believe how many varieties of grilled cheese this place offers, and I'm generally a pretty 'plain Jane' type and was straying with even the fried green tomatoes and bacon, but it did not disappoint. The others in my group were equally happy with their selections and we walked away ready to fall into a food coma for the afternoon. Amazing, would definitely return again when in Pittsburgh!! read more

We waited 20 minutes for a table. It's incredibly loud like a bar. They weren't busy, maybe short staffed. The food was bland. My husband only ate half his burger, zero seasoning. The homemade chips were dry. I opted to pay the up charge for fries which were gummy. We will not be back. read more

This is a must go place in Pittsburgh. Sometimes I think I hype it up in my head but still worth going at least once. I go for the classic Mac and cheese grilled cheese (forgot the name). While it is a lot of food and carbs it is something unique. I also enjoyed the unlimited mimosas I wish they would have a few lighter or better salad options though. I get why they don't but it would be nice read more

This place was AMAZING! The food was great. It was very busy but we still got seated immediately. I recommend the Buffy the Mac Attack Slayer Sandwich. Their waffle fries were also BOMB! I had this spot on my list for my vacation because of the gourmet mac and cheese and it did not disappoint!! read more

I went here for brunch and had a Bloody Mary, chorizo omelette and a couple beers. Time to dissect this place. The atmosphere is neat.. It's upstairs with a good size bar with lots of beer on tap. The Bloody Mary was meh. During brunch hours they have unlimited Bloody Mary bar and a separate unlimited mimosa bar, but I had a single Bloody Mary. It was so plain! I was disappointed beyond belief. They used Tabasco Bloody Mary mix, vodka, old bay rim, a lemon and a lime. Literally poured the mix out of the bottle into my glass. No love in the mix at all!! There are so many amazing restaurants downtown that know how to make a Bloody Mary, it's not worth it to go here. And it was 8$ on top of it all. The chorizo omelette.. Pretty tasty! I liked it but it was a little cold, same with the hash browns. But it all had flavor, so I ignored the temperature. The beers were perfect. Great temperature and tasted fresh. It was a clean restaurant and worth a second trip. It's not the cheapest and there are better places to go, but this place is new. Will give it another chance a little later. read more

The Yard - So many yummy beers!! - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Yesterday was my 70th birthday. My 11 year old granddaughter performed in a dance recital in town. We decided to walk to Market Square and eat at the Yard. My 44 year old daughter, My son in law, and 2 granddaughters(7 and 11). To say this restaurant is filthy, and disgusting is an understatement. The wooden floor going up the stairs, and in the dining are was "Sticky" to our feet. In order to enter the restrooms, you basically have to go through the kitchen. As there were no paper towels in the men's room, in order to exit, we had to open the door(doorknob), and hold the door open with one foot, and re-wash our hands(Who knows who, or what had touched it previously without washing their hands...Maybe the kitchen staff who were preparing food??) The girls had a pretzel appetizer, and I ordered a draft beer, as did my daughter, and son in law, and when it arrived at the table in a glass, there was absolutely zero suds/foam/head in the glass, indicating either soap residue, or worse, a dirty glass. I (We)decided the lack of sanitary conditions in a restaurant the serves food to the public was unacceptable to me(us), and promptly asked our server for the check(about $32.00). What I found as unsettling as the sanitary conditions, is that she never asked why we wanted the check before ordering the meal, or even considered that there was a problem!!! We paid and left. I did not say anything to the server, or management, as I probably would have caused a disturbance. BEWARE if you decide to eat there. Common sense, and sanitary conditions are seriously lacking at this establishment. read more

I absolutely loved this place. So many choices of grilled cheese sandwiches...can't wait to come back and try others. My wife had the Buddy the Mac Attack Slayed, a grilled cheese with Mac and Cheese and Buffalo Chicken. She loved it. I had the Patty Mayonnaise, two burger patties, cheese sauce, sautéed mushrooms and onions with garlic Mayo...amazing. read more

The yard is delicious. I am a huge fan of grilled cheese and tomato soup. This place hits the spot. The grilled cheese is amazing and so many options. I had plain jack and the other was Buffy the Mac attack slayer. So good! Who knew. The tomato soup is the perfect consistency and right amount of basil. A must try. Not a huge fan of chips but hey who is. Large beer selection and seasonal sangrias. I had mascow mule...delicious. Gotta try this place. Be warned they are good so they are busy. We had a hour wait but well worth it. Can't wait to try there brunch menu tomorrow. Snozzberry pancakes and chicken 'n' waffles sliders watch out!!! read more

After this, I never want to eat again. In all seriousness, this was a heavy meal. I thought by going vegetarian and getting the 'Shroom, it'd be lighter. I was wrong. I was very wrong. But for the price, having that and tater tots and soup was an amazing deal. I liked my sandwich, but the tomato soup was incredible. It's thick and oily and clearly homemade, which I appreciate. I also liked how you could get flavors on your potatoes such as garlic parm, Cajun, or Old Bay. I, like all good millennial, love customization. Because it was my friend's birthday, we also got a free dessert called "Because I Was High." That was not my favorite. Deep fried bread with Nutella, peanut butter, chocolate, and bananas was too heavy and sickly sweet to be properly enjoyed. I would definitely have picked one of their extensive beers, Blood Mary bar, or fun appetizers before spending money on dessert. read more

So yummy! This was a short walk from our hotel and man oh man, was it worth it (especially since it was 20° outside)! We tried a little bit of everything and we were not disappointed! Their London Mule was so refreshing I probably could have drank 3, but they're strong so I wouldn't advise (or maybe I would?). We tried The Yard burger and wow -- talk about thiccness. And those fried pierogis?! Gotta get you some. read more

So a lot of people raved about The Yard. I have always wanted to go, and ended up going there for brunch for my friends birthday. Market Square Parking is a beast in itself. I would park on 5th ave and consider walking. The location of the resturant is in a great spot and it will be crazy in the summer. This place does have stairs so if you do not fancy steps or have a hard time.. now you know. Food/Service: i ordered the french toast with nutella sauce. I was not too impressed with my food. The toast was a bit too dry for my liking and there wasnt enough nutella to provide a moist texture when you chew. The tater tots and sauage were good. However the presentation of my plate was very well laid out. I dont like when chefs just throw food on your plate. But i would come back for the drinks. Our server did very well becuase we had a party of 11 and she was very attentive. The bottomless Mimosas is what atteacted me to this place and it was awesome. I would recommend this place for that! Oh and their nectar nugget beer is great. read more

The Yard - Nashville Hot Chicken and Waffles - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Every grilled cheese I've ordered has been amazing. The food is so delicious & bloody Mary's are awesome too.

Portions are huge, staff are nice, it's my go-to pub brunch spot with basically bottomless mimosas and hangover food

I enjoyed the food and draft beer selection. However our server got 66% of our order wrong, 2 out to 3 items. We overheard the table next to us encountered the same issue with the same waitress. She didn't write anything down which was likely her problem. If it wasn't for her I would have given 5-stars. read more

I was glad former co-workers decided on this spot for our gathering because I had wanted to try one of these sandwiches that many people were marveling about. I decided to get the "Simple Jack" with is ultra cheesy grilled cheese sandwich with four types of cheeses melted on thickly cut Texas toast served with a side of tomato soup and homemade potato chips. I'm a self proclaimed cheese-a-holic and this was an excessive amount of cheesy goodness! If you love a good tomato soup and grilled cheese the Yard won't disappoint you. One day I'll visit again to try some of the other sandwiches. read more

O.....M.....G.... Visiting from Oregon I stopped in with my best friend who is rather a food snob based on her recommendation. It was ridiculous. A playful menu with creative yet logical ingredients. I would have gladly payed twice as much for half the food. Thanks Shannon, and thanks to the crew! read more

The Yard - The Full Monte! Could barely fit it all in my mouth.....! - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Emily was our server this evening. Long lapses in between drinks, ordering appetizers, ordering entrees, and getting the check. When asked for the check and BOTH meals had only had 1 bite taken, there were no questions asked. Only the soup was removed from the bill. The manager never visited the table. Food came out warm - but flavors were poor. Ordered bacon in the Mac-n-cheese. I'm the bacon wasn't included - instead was brought out after we questioned. Big disappointment for a $50 meal of salads, pierogies, and a quesadilla. read more

This is a friendly little restaurant tucked into Market Square. All of the waiters and waitresses were very friendly but, truthfully, I don't see it as worth the money that we spent on the meal. My caprese grilled cheese didn't have one of the ingredients that was listed as having on the menu, and half of my sandwich had almost no toppings on it. It's a nice space with quick service but I don't think it'll be on our list of top places to return. read more

The Yard - This is the half of my sandwich that I took home. It has virtually no ingredients on it. - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Ordered the "Are Yinz Hungry?" for delivery a few minutes ago. It was advertised as strips of sirloin with provolone, French fries, tomato, and coleslaw. While 3 fries technically does count as French fries on the sandwich, it's not nearly what I expected for a 14$ sandwich. As well as that the "strips of steak" was actually a singular chunk of pre-sliced steak that I guess they didn't bother to finish cutting through. It tasted more like a grill and nothing like actual meat. I'm not sure if I somehow offended the chef or if maybe he was having a stroke when making mine, but this is beyond sad. There's pictures below of what the sandwich looked like when it got here and what the actually steak looked like. It smells about as bad as it looks too. read more

They had us sitting outside and we waited for 30 minutes without anyone coming to take our order. We watched tables that were seated after us being taken care of so we left. read more

Mac and cheese balls were under salted, and both grilled cheeses I tried were void of flavor and wholly disappointing. Even the "diet starts Monday" sandwich, which, looking at the ingredients, should be hard to mess up, was very bland. Bread wasn't toasted enough and cheese was already congealed. Very disappointing experience for a place known for grilled cheese. read more

Great food great service! We went on a Saturday afternoon for brunch and it was amazing. We all got different lunches. They had a great beer selection, Bloody Mary bar, and bottomless mimosas!! Staff was very friendly and it was a great low key setting. Could definitely see coming here for a football game. read more

Was a bit disappointed with my selection. I ordered the grilled cheese that was part burger. The special sauce tasted like sweet and sour sauce and it just didn't belong on the grilled cheese. The Mac and cheese was very good though along with the poutine fries. My apple Pi drink was a bit too sweet for me as well. My husband really liked his though. He had the grilled cheese with the pulled pork. read more

Average bar food. Good for casual outing with friends or family. Large drink menu which is nice, but a little pricey for drinks and food when its not happy hour. I have had a burger from there, which was a little too cooked and blackened out the outside. I have also had a grilled cheese that was a little dry and not enough cheese was on the sandwich. The tomato soup is great, as well as their sweet potato fries. The service is a little slow and have messed up my order 2/3 times I have gone. I would rate this a 3/5, nothing special. read more

$15 bottomless mimosas were great but the Gilmore Happy flatbread was not good- looked and tasted like a frozen pizza. Our server was great and took it off our tab but we also dealt with an over cooked burger. Would not go back read more

Fun spot - kind of loud, but it fit the vibe. Shrooms sandwich and tomato soup was delicious. Yard Burger was juicy and flavorful. Potato chips were spot-on! Not a family spot. read more

The Yard - ''Shrooms - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Decent lunch, if slightly over priced per plate at the quality level I saw on my first visit. Nothing really jumps out on the menu, it's like a nice Applebee's I guess. I did the caprese with chicken for I think $16. The staff seems really friendly however and they have free, easy to access Wi-Fi available which is a plus at lunchtime. My only issue was with the blaring music coming from the PA system. Even through my headphones on at full volume I could hear what I only assume was Mumford and his kids screaming, warbling and carrying on over my podcast. Not what I'd call lunchtime volume. When the song ended I heard the gentleman next to me sigh audibly to which I said "big difference huh?" "It's like the cabin pressure dropped in here," he replied. Before I could agree the sonic assault resumed. I gestured for the check a bit quicker than planned as a result. read more

Our service was the bomb. Lydia was everything as far as recommendations and patient as we didn't know what to order. she consistently checked on us and her attitude and energy was everything you could ask for.Thanks Lydia for your work ethic, attitude and being very helpful.Food was better then she hyped it up also, so that was the cherry on top. read more

Located on the second floor, large dining area and ample seating. Hostesses were friendly and very helpful. Offered us water while we waited for a table to be cleaned. Ordered the fried green tomato grilled cheese sandwich which was very tasty. Tomato soup was good, but I wasn't served very much. My husband had the pulled pork grilled cheese which also was tasty. The sandwiches came with seasoned house chips which were inedible. Very stale. Definitely recommend upgrading to tater tots. Our server was very good. Friendly, attentive and helpful. read more

Loved the tomato soup was enough to share with another. Complex flavors simple ingredients I would for sure go again. Although the wait was a little longer than I expected. read more

if you know and like the famous MELT in Cleveland than you will love this place! Now that I've found it will be my pre-game rally meal for Pens and Steelers.

Great beer and good food! We were impressed with this joint! A Pittsburgh gem with lots of beers on tap. The grilled cheese options were delicious and the kids options were on point. read more

Really pleasantly surprised by this place! I had no idea Pittsburgh had a gourmet grilled cheese spot. They have quite the variety and even two vegetarian options. Our server handled a table of 12 with accuracy and speed. Will definitely be coming back! read more

We were in Pittsburgh for just 18 hours to attend a Wednesday night concert and this is where we stopped for a late lunch- mostly bc of location and the fact that they had gluten free bread. There were only a few other people inside so it was pretty quiet but the vibe was still good. We grabbed a few beers at the bar- great selection. The bartender was friendly and accommodating. My bf had the fried green tomato grilled cheese and sweet potato fries and said it was great. Large portions, the fries were served with sweet cinnamon butter and the sandwich with tomato soup. The soup was cold and I'm not sure if he just waited too long to eat it or if it wasn't served hot enough. I had a yard bird sandwich on a gluten free bun and tots. The garlic aioli was tasty and tots perfect but the chicken was thin and unimpressive. I was just happy they had a gf preference. They have a ton of gourmet grilled cheese selections which is what I would recommend. read more

The Yard - Seasonal local cider - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This was my go to place every time in Pittsburgh. The food is always good and the servers are great. Just make sure the bartender likes what you're playing on Touch Tunes. She made several loud comments to her friends at the corner of the bar that this wasn't her music and she was going to turn it off. After someone paid for it on Touch Tunes. Finally she turned it off because she didn't like the artist and his issues he had. If that is the stance of owners it's easy to block an artist on Touch Tunes. This bartender is bad for the business. In a time with the economy as it is I would educate my employees to not hurt my business. If they question it have a manager address it. I've spent my last $140 at this establishment. Good luck read more

The besssst grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup I ever had! Food was ordered and made on time. When I picked up my food everyone was super friendly. read more

The bartender literally wouldn't serve us even though we VOLUNTARILY surrendered our outside alcohol before we even entered the bar (without trying to be shady; we told the hosts we had two beer cans and gave them to them; how else should I dispose of this?). This bartender was a complete dick for no apparent reason and refused to even look us in the eye as he threw us out. Repeatedly. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because the hosts (to whom I, again, voluntarily gave my full beer) were apologetic and actually tried to give me my beer back on my way out because it was "90% full, ma'am." I did come in at 1am but in essence: nothing is worth the potential attitude of the bartender. I'll buy my drinks elsewhere. You lost a good tipper tonight, kids. Your loss. PS (as the daughter of a small business owner)-- your bartender is the face of your place. You need to ensure they are the kind of person you want representing you. If this bartender is who you are..... you're the worst. read more
