I made dinner reservations for Monday Dec 13 at the Market Square location. We arrived and were seated and the manager stated they were short staffed and very busy. I understand as I used to be a waitress and explained we had to be out in about an hour and a half for a concert. We ordered our meal and appetizers at the same time make sure we could make it to the concert. After about 40 minutes our pretzels were delivered by the manager and I asked when our food would be arriving he snapped that he was bringing it now! He dropped the pretzels and then returned to say it was not ready. I explained we had a concert to go to and he snapped that so does everyone else. They should not accept people walking in when they could not handle people that made reservations! The food came with about 15 minutes until we had to leave. My dinner was wrong and they could not correct in time so they took it off the bill. The manager came over to the table to explain how hard he worked and never apologized. I told him my meal was wrong and his response was I took it off the bill. Not that he was sorry that I did not have dinner. I understand they were overwhelmed but do not understand being rude to customers. We choose there to have a nice dinner but it was stressful and I did not even eat. I will be sure to let others know how poorly handled the situation was handled. What a shame that someone so rude is put as a manager! read more

This is definitely the place to visit! Pub pretzels, breakfast burritos and bottomless mimosas for weekend brunch. Yum!

This is probably my FAVORITE place every to go! I had no idea that it was open for 2 months prior to the time i went but i'm so glad i did! This place has great service, great food, and an amazing atmosphere! I had order the flat bread with buffalo sauce, hot sauce, ranch and chicken. I highly recommended that as well as the mac attack balls or the buffalo chicken dip with the pita chips. It's a little on the expensive side but well worth it. Big portions and you get so much that the pay is worth how much you get for the meal. Would recommended if your board of the same old places or just wanna try something new. They have so many options and so much to choose from even there brunch menu is decently big read more

I love The Yard, however, the Market Square location isn't my favorite. My friends and I have gone after work a couple of times and the hosts/hostesses have always made it so uncomfortable for us as far as seating us around happy hour. The tables are somehow always reserved except for maybe a few so we also feel like a burden coming in. Other than that awkward encounter, the waiting staff is typically very friendly. If you aren't at the bar, sometimes you might have to wait a little for a drink, but it's not a huge deal. Their pretzels are DELICIOUS and filling for an app! The happy hour has decent prices and they have a fun selection of beers! read more

Food options and service both great. Girlfriend and I are vegan and we didn't run into any problems with ordering. Their mac&cheese is absolutely amazing. Out door seating is handled well and our server was amazing to us and didn't forget about us once even though her section was upstairs and we sat outside. read more

Grilled cheese is my favorite food so I may be biased. I had an excellent meal there and I ordered something off of the vegetarian based part of the menu. The soup I could pass on a hundred times over but the sandwiches are worth getting every time. And the music was bumping. I loved it, currently my fav spot in town if I were to choose a favorite. read more

Love this place, come here regularly. Staff is always super friendly even if they're busy. Great selection of local beers on tap, never disappointed. Food is pretty good, huge specialty grilled cheeses. Highly recommended! read more

I've eaten here a few times and it's always been good. But tonight I had the Yard Burger and it was REALLY great. The burger was cooked lovely (I put medium instead of medium rare like I usually do since my friend who got this last time had a soggy burger). I loved everything about the burger, though. The aioli sauce was tasty and I loved the crunchy onions and even the bacon which I usually omit from a burger. Just wanted to try it this time. I will definitely order this again. I also love their homemade chips! read more

I got the Yard Walker chicken sandwich with Cajun chips and tomato soup. I also had an Old and New cocktail. It was all great! Atmosphere is like being in a SanDiego rooftop bar. I will be back. read more

I had the GP flavored wings , they were good. The vibe from my Co workers was lukewarm , we just flew into town, hungry , and this place was recommended. Not saying it was bad, it was OK . Sometimes ok is good , we return in month ; let's try The Yard again. read more

Spent the weekend in Pittsburgh and ate out for each lunch and dinner. The Yard was definitely our favorite place we ate! We got there when they were about to close without realizing and they were still happy to service us. My brother is gluten free and they also have a very good amount of gluten free options. They had AMAZING food and service! Great for families or just grabbing a drink! We will 100% be returning. read more

My son and I went to the Yard for the first time we were not disappointed! Our waiter Markus was awesome the food was amazing the big Che Bawoski was so good! We will definitely be going back! read more

UPDATE: We went back here after a week, much better experience, no soup spilled and they had beer! The manager (Wayne) remembered me from the previous visit and asked about the soup, so that was a good start. I had the Jerk grilled cheese this time, it was advertised as spicy, so I was a little worried, but there wasn't much heat to it at all. I didn't like the fact that the pork was hot and the pineapple was cold. It would have made a huge difference if they heated up the pineapple prior to putting it on the sandwich, but it was good. Big beer selection, good food and good service. The below review was from my first trip, read if you dare! Don't cry over spilled soup? We went out to this new location in Market Square on the day that they opened around 11:30. Immediate disappointment ensued when they weren't able to sell alcohol yet (we were told they would have their liquor license straightened out by 4 for happy hour). We don't need alcohol to have a good time, but they had the 36 draft system right in front of us, so it was just a big tease! Anyway, the menu had some very interesting names on it for the grilled cheese sandwiches. I went with the smack yo mama, a grilled cheese with caribbean chicken and jack cheese. After waiting a little while, the food arrived....but as it arrived, the server spilled a whole cup of their tomato soup all over my jeans/shoes. Their serving plates were just wooden rectangles with handles - no lips or indentations for the soup or chip cups to stay on the board - I don't blame the server, I blame the one who settled on these as a good idea to serve hot soup on. I was less than amused, but the manager came over and said he would comp my meal - which ended up being fine since the soup came out! What gets better (or worse) - the one bartender poured a bottled beer (Evil Genius - Evil Eye PA) into a glass, gave it to the manager who served it to a gentleman at a different table. I asked if we were able to purchase bottles, was told no, then asked why they served a bottle him. They told me the bottle was for the cook to make their beer cheese out of. We could clearly see the gentleman at the table drinking the beer and the bartender denied ever opening it. Don't know why he could have one but nobody else could, but it doesn't look good as a business for you to do that in front of customers and it's even worse if it's illegal for you to do that. Long story short - this was just not a good lunch, the service was great from the bartender and I do feel bad for the server, but it was just not a good experience. Maybe give this place some time for them to sort out the kinks and I'll edit this review. read more

Came here for the first time for lunch with some of my coworkers for my birthday! I loved the food, the bread was cooked perfectly and I got the caprese sandwich with the tomato soup and chips. The flavor of the tomato soup was almost smoky in a really great way, it was so decadent but they gave you the perfect amount so it wouldn't fill you up too badly. Evan was our waiter, and he was really excellent! He answered all of our questions and was patient with us when we didn't quite know what we wanted. He always kept our water glasses full and even split up our checks after without any hesitation or confusion. Overall the food was awesome, the tomato soup was awesome, and the ambiance was fantastic! Definitely will be back for a happy hour or another lunch date. :) read more

I was looking forward to trying this place... A bit pricey for what you get. The grilled cheeses are good, but nothing to brag about. Fries are great...You can pick three different seasonings. The grilled cheese my husband got tasted like they just put chilli on it. Was very messy and did not taste very good (it was called the Young Cheezy). I do not recommend. The mac n cheese balls and poutine were good as well. I got the breakfast grilled cheese. It was ok. Like I said, nothing to brag about. The side of tomatoe soup tho was my favorite. I would rather go to Coach's on Banksville Road for a delicious grilled cheese. read more

Went here on a busy Saturday afternoon. First time there. Great food and great service. Love the Bloody Mary bar. read more

Grilled cheese sandwiches are one of my favorite foods so I was very excited to try this place and I wasn't disappointed! I ordered "The Jerk" with the standard side of homemade chips and tomato soup. Let me tell you the apple chutney that came on the sandwich I could eat all day everyday! Our server was awesome as well - was able to suggest beers which would be to our taste and kept the pace of the meal perfect. Overall I will definitely not hesitate to visit again. read more

I went to The Yard today for the first time ever. I think we went around a good time of day (3pm) because there were only a few guests which was really nice! Our waitress Hunter was so bubbly and sweet, and they had our food out to us in literally 10 minutes! I had the Smack Yo Mama grilled cheese, the pulled chicken on it had so much flavor! And the sweet potato waffle fries with cinnamon butter were nice and light and a nice contrast to my savory sandwich. We will definitely be back! read more

This is my first time in town and the first place I ate, and I must say: Excellent choice!! My friends and I ate from the grill cheese side of the menu. The fried green tomato was DELICIOUS, as well as the Los Pollos Hermanos and Crabby Patty. Our server Megan was very nice and informative. If I lived in Pittsburgh I would eat here all of the time! read more

I went here with girlfriends for lunch on Sunday to indulge in grilled-cheese goodness and nurse our hangovers. They had mimosas pitchers and over 20 different grilled cheese sandwiches along with salads, burgers, soup and appetizers. They also had a wide selection of beer to choose from including seasonal drafts. The service was attentive even though it was packed with people watching Sunday football at the bar and our food was great. I'll definitely be back when I venture out to Pittsburgh again. read more

This was very nice and the service was great. Everyone was friendly and the food was very good. I got the Patty Mayonnaise with the sweet potato waffle fries and tomato soup as sides. The grilled cheese was good but was quite heavy. The fries were very good and the tomato soup was phenomenal. Overall it was a very good experience and I would recommend! read more

A good beer selection and delicious grilled cheese. My husband enjoyed his burger, my 9yo had a serving of wings made to her exacting standards (extra crispy, plain flats with seasoning on the side) to her pleasure and my 7yo ate a good 1/2 of his grilled cheese, which is a thorough endorsement from him considering the large size of the sandwiche. read more

Comes on Texas toast (as do all their grilled cheeses) the chicken was nothing special, just seemed like a basic chicken tender that you might get from like Kenny wood. The biggest winner of that sandwich was the fresh piece of mozzarella cheese. Mine was very cheesy, no complaints there. The marina was nothing to wrote home about, a thicker sauce but carried a nice basil flavor which paired well with the cheese. The combination of those flavors worked well together. Overall 3.5/5 read more

OH MY GOODNESS! Who knew grilled cheese could be so appealing? At the Yard - they made me a believer! I never order a cheese sandwich when I dine out. The difference is the variation of grilled cheese sandwiches available for dining! My sandwich had pepper jack,cheese, jalapeños, grilled chicken - perfect! Then the tomatoes soup was great - on a cold day (what the doctor ordered). I opted for fries instead of potato chips which was good! All in all, a great meal for the price! The combo of all 3 items is such a winner! I have to add / I don't like tomato soup - until I tried it at the Yard! Thanks for the wonderful meal during the dangerously low temperatures in Pittsburgh! Will definitely visit again to try a different grilled cheese combo! read more

I had heard a lot of good things about the yard and I wasn't disappointed. It was a little louder than I expected, but the menu is incredible, I'm not sure I've ever had so much trouble deciding what to get before. There is a very good beer selection as well. I wound up getting one of the grilled cheeses, and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend to a friend! read more

Great gourmet grilled cheese and extensive craft beers on tap. Quickly seated and food came out fairly fast.

So I order the pepper jack bauer burger and by far one of the best burgers I've ate in Pittsburgh . The waiter was polite

Very disappointing experience in Black Friday. Hostess was stoned out of her mind. Food was brought out an hour after ordering and was presented cold to the touch. The signature soup had actually filmed over it had become so cold. Cooks delivering food didn't seem to care about what they were providing. The inevitable discussion with management revealed an overwhelmed person who was probably afraid to say anything to the cooks. The only person in the restaurant that cares was the waitress. I wouldn't go back. read more

A bit disappointing. The food was good, somewhat small portions for the price. But the noise was RIDICULOUS. My ears hurt leaving there. Spoiled the whole meal. Couldn't have a conversation. Unless they address this I will not be back. read more

First time here today, great experience! Our waiter was awesome, atmosphere was great food AMAZING! so many choices I can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Visited today with 6 friends. I got the Frank the Tank, which is a buffalo chicken sandwich. The chicken was very high quality and tender. The tomato soup was delicious, and I'm not even a tomato lover. The service was awesome, and I didn't even have to ask for refills of Diet Coke. They just kept them coming. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is in the Market Square area. read more

First time yesterday, won't be the last. I read a number of the reviews and they were 110% accurate. Great sandwich, soup, chips and they even had fresh brewed unsweetened iced tea in mason jars! How can you go wrong? Our server was fantastic! She never let our drinks get half empty. Very friendly and quick with any additional requests. This place is a gem. BTW...I had the "smack yo......." grilled cheese and it was a belly filler *****! read more

I've been to The Yard a few times for drinks and dinner and it's always been decent. I finally went for brunch and it was amazing! Brunch alone would be 5 stars. The bottomless mimosas are great, so be sure to go for it! We had French toast, pancakes, and the chicken and waffles at the table and all were really good. read more

Great beer selection and all time favorite sandwich... the Blarney Stoner - not as heavy as you'd think, great flavor profile and paired with the tomato soup is a great blend. It's loud - it's a sports bar that wants to be more but knows its roots and fills a niche - great selection of beers and food... I literally plan trips to Pittsburgh around coming here read more

I've been here numerous times. The grilled cheeses are big, messy, and delicious. Their burger is above average. Their chili is really, really good when it's available, as is their tomato soup which is, I believe, always available. Service has always been friendly and prompt. I would suggest a reservation if you suspect a busy evening though. The first time my wife and I tried to go it was quite crowded and a table wasn't available for at least three hours. But we've also been there when it was pretty quiet and our reservation wasn't necessary, so it's really dependent upon the situation, season, and events going on in the city that night I think. Overall, however, I will continue to go there with regularity; one of my favorite joints in the city and for the style and price range I don't think you'll find much better. read more

Overall, a great place and would come again. I got the Dr. Dobak - Provolone / Cheddar / Short Rib / Strawberry Onion Jam / Onion Rings I like to cut my burgers/sandwiches in half before eating them. And that cut showed just how much juice the short ribs had! The meat was tender, and everything was easy to cut. The only downside was that the short ribs had so much juice that the bottom loaf became soggy, so I ate it upside down. You'll need to get your hands a little dirty for this, but definitely worth it. Originally, I was a little worried about that "Strawberry onion jam" but I didn't taste any strawberry flavor at all. I got their garlic parm chips. Nothing really spectacular but still decent. The tomato soup that goes with the set is some really good tomato soup. Very thick but refreshing. It's the type that if you scoop the soup all towards one side, it was somewhat slowly slide back to even. Highly recommend this if you're starving, want a good meal, and then enter food coma for the next 2 hours while sitting in your couch watching Netflix. Would also recommend getting gelato or ice cream afterwards. read more

I honestly love this place. The beer selections is great as well as the location for their tvs during sporting events. At first looking at the menu, I thought everything would be so heavy and not appetizing. After trying different items on the menu and talking to the bartenders about their knowledge on craft beer, I started to love it. I go there often to meet my boyfriend after work. The service is quick and selections on tap are always a good variety! read more

This place was recommended by our Lyft Driver Lavar and he was right on. Great food, great price, great atmosphere. He should get commission. read more

Awesome place to enjoy some beer and drinks. Watch the NFL playoff game there. Being from out of town the staff was extremely helpful and polite. They answered many questions I had about the area and once they discovered we were from out of town made it obvious that they wanted to make sure we had a great experience which we did! Would recommend this to any one of my friends visiting the Pittsburgh area. They even had some local Michigan beers on tap! read more

Music very loud. Waitress brought wrong drinks. Didn't bring the appetizer we ordered at all. And brought one wrong entree. Hate to write bad reviews but don't waste your time. She didn't even notice that all these things were wrong... Super awkward didn't want spit in our food so just took what she brought. read more
