Food quality and options could improve. Service was adequate. It could be better for a downtown market Square venue.

Love the mimosa brunch- an amazing deal. Food is great. If you sit at the bar and get to see Wes... he is awesome!! read more

Had friends in town at a near by hotel. This is a nice divey place in the Market square area within walking distance. Good atmosphere. Wooden tables. Drinks in mason jars. Chalk board menu. In addition to the regular menu. Good ambient lighting. The food is good. Large selection. We had: Mac Attack balls-good. Not spectacular. Loaded quesadilla-very good! Would definitely order again! A few of the picky kids had regular burgers-rated as good. One person had a Mission impossible sandwich -rated as good One person had the it's Always Sunny in Philadelphia -rated as good One child had the Smack Yo Mamma. -with the waffle fries-she enjoyed it! I had the Mother of Dragons-jalapeños on the side-good The specialty grilled cheese sandwiches come on regular bread-grilled which is kind of nifty. with chips and tomato soup. Also unique and interesting. The Smack Yo Mamma and Mother of Dragons were not super moist. Good. I guess we could have dipped the sandwiches in the soup. So the really nice thing about this restaurant is they have a separate fryer for folks with gluten issues. And a gluten free menu. We actually had a severe nut allergy in the party. they serve a peanut butter dessert that is fried (presumably in the regular fryer as it looks to be quite yummy and full of gluten too ). When I spoke to the staff on the phone they said that allergic person would have to avoid fried foods from the regular menu. And they repeatedly recommended ordering from the gluten free menu. I didn't understand why until studying the menu items. But it was a brilliant suggestion! the very knowledgeable person on the phone reminded us to tell the server about the food allergy. (Kudos to phone person!!!). The kind of bad part is our server was nice but when we spoke to her about the allergy, she stated that everything was ok to order-no nuts in the sandwiches. Very casual. Didn't ask anyone in the kitchen or her manager. We had to specifically tell her that we called ahead and were told not to order anything fried from the regular menu due to cross contamination. And we asked specifically for the chips from the gluten free fryer. Everything worked out. Noone had a reaction. But if you have a serious allergy you should not rely on the server at this restaurant to keep you safe. I think the manager and big picture folks have a system making it a safe place for allergic folks to eat here. But the down fall would be the server. I gave her a nice tip because she followed our requests and no one had a reaction and she changed the channel for my needy friend and attendeed to various other requests he had. But it would have been bigger tip, had she showed attention to detail re food allergy. So the food is good! Love the atmosphere!!!! Great place to hang out with your friends! Folks with food allergies-be careful here. Suggestion to management is to train the servers on food allergy awareness. They have the set up to make it safe for multiple food allergies. Great big picture concept!! But Anyone with a serious food allergy-call ahead. (I'm used to good servers running to the back or sending the manager out or pulling out an allergen chart or even dragging a cook out to talk to us-didn't happen here.) It likely deserves 2 stars from the allergic safety standpoint. But the food and atmosphere is a 4. read more

Was craving some pierogies in a casual lunch atmosphere and The Yard hit the spot. I went mid-afternoon, like I usually do. The establishment was mostly empty. Maybe 10 people or so, inside. I opted to sit at the bar and placed my order for the pierogies. I also got their "Imperial Swine" flatbread pizza. The 2 ladies working behind the bar were really nice. Attentive. Both food items came out together. The pierogies were great. Cooked perfectly. The right temperature when they came out. And the dusting of cajun seasoning added a nice touch. Not overpowering at all. The flatbread was equally good. No skimping on the ingredients. And cooked perfectly. Definitely not too much bbq sauce. I had a few slices leftover that I saved for leftovers and it was still good, cold. And, to top off the experience. A fight almost took place. 2 dudes mouthing off at one another and they actually took it outside. But I really don't think anything happened. It was still a great experience. read more

Good gastropub! Very busy though so be prepared to wait a bit. They're famous for their grilled cheese and have a ton of unique combos.

It's a 2nd floor walk up. Shouldn't have been surprising given it's in the city, but it took me by surprise so I wanted to tell anyone who would need to be prepared. City life isn't always easy for the differently abled so when I see things that may effect someones visit I like to point them out. It's a small bar. Noisy for a Tuesday I'm sure because all the Penguins fans were there. Our server Cody maybe Cory it was hard to hear was very accomodating with all our requests. The food was good. Different than traditional bar/pub fair. It was to much though & when you're heading off to a game, you can't take leftovers with you. We were rushed because we had tickets to the game so next time I want to stay, really enjoy my food and the ambiance. read more

Located in downtown Pittsburgh, The Yard is a great location to stop by and watch a sporting event. They have large screen tvs, game food, and a large bar! While the space can get a bit crowded, especially on weekends and game days, the staff and Pittsburgh fans create a fun environment to catch a game and enjoy some food and a drink in downtown Pittsburgh! read more

Didn't know what to expect, pleasantly surprised by the menu and atmosphere. Comfortable, good service, great food. I will be back, not on the regular, but definitely will return. We were a party of 4: started with the pretzel app, each ordered a different loaded grilled cheese with side of tomato soup and we each enjoyed what we got. I doubt there is anything bad on the menu. We were here a week before Christmas so Market Square had outdoor shops set up with local vendors selling their wares, which made the trip even more worth it. Give it a try. read more

As you enter The Yard, you encounter a messy bright vestibule where there's a door to a dark room to the right, and a door to darkness straight ahead. No sign indicating which way to The Yard. We picked straight ahead, which turned out to be the right choice. Upon entering, we were greeted with a large mostly-empty room with blaring music. We were asked if we had a reservation. I was able to successfully stifle my chuckles. I made a comment about it being so loud, and the hostess commented "that's because the jukebox is on", as if there was nothing that could be done about. We got two beers on happy hour. I got a Cigar City beer, which was fine. My wife got a Dream Weaver. After smelling it, she made a face. I took a whiff and I was afraid to even taste it. It was not a beer that was unfortunately poured through a faucet that needed to be cleaned. It was sour enough that it was completely unrecognizable as a Dream Weaver. Like, not a mistakenly poured intentionally sour beer. More like a keg purchased a year ago, poured through lines and a tap that had never been cleaned. When our server came by, we mentioned that there was something wrong with the beer. She shrugged, saying that it was probably at the end of the keg. We were able to get a replacement canned beer with zero hassle. We got soft pretzel sticks as an app, which were quite good. Also got chips, which were fine. As a whole, this place was a bust. I can't imagine selecting it on purpose, especially given the alternatives nearby. read more

Ok, my expectations were really low for this restaurant. Came here with another couple who needed to be downtown. It's pretty noisy and has a sports bar type vibe. They do have a decent draft beer menu. Their specialty is grilled cheese. Two of us got some of their classic type grilled cheese. Those dishes were good and would have rated a 4 (for a pub style restaurant), but the other two were not nearly as good--Pittsburgh salad and an impossible burger grilled cheese. All the grilled cheese sandwiches come on local bread works bread which is quite good and they come with tomato soup, which was tasty but not hot enough. I got the side salad instead of chips and it was a really good side salad with house made dressing. So, I expected to give this place a 2. If we had all gotten their house specialty grilled cheese sandwiches, it probably would be a 4, but we will settle for a 3. read more

What a great place. Came here with a party of 5 for work Monday night. Sort of dark but had a good feel. Nice drink selection though I had water. We ordered up some apps with Mac n. Cheese balls and Pierogies. Both were very good I had a Pittsburgh steak salad with egg, cucumbers tomatoes and ranch. Very good. Everyone else's had one of the many grilled cheese sandwiches. Large portions as they could barley finish the meal. No deserts since we were full. Service was very good. Our waitress was attentive and stayed on top of the refills. I would definitely come back when downtown Pittsburgh again. read more

Nice spot in Market Square. We went there on a Sunday evening (when there was an hour wait at City Works). Oddly, neither the front desk person or bartender knew if they could get the Sunday Night Football game- the bartender flat out said they couldn't get it- kind of weird as it was being broadcast on NBC! After a few minutes of delay and some scurrying around, they confirmed that yes they could get the game. There is a wide selection of craft beers plus the usual local selections. We ordered a couple of gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches on our server's recommendation. They were very good- there is a ceiling to how good a grilled cheese can be- and the servings were huge. I liked the tomato soup that came on the side. Overall it was fine, not great, but worth a visit. read more

My husband and I stopped by here to eat dinner before walking to the stadium for a Penguins game. When the two of us walked in at 5pm, we were able to be seated immediately. By 5:30 it was full. We fit right in- almost every employee or patron was wearing penguins hockey memorabilia. The door to go inside looks nondescript, but once you go up stairs, you know you are in the right place. The waiter was kind and gave us water when he first came to our table. My husband was satisfied with the beer list, but wished there were more selections on tap. We started with pierogis, which were flavorful. We both chose grilled cheeses, since that is their gimmick. He had the Buffy the Mac Attack Slayer, which was like having Buffalo dip and Mac and cheese in a sandwich. I had the Smack Yo Mama with pulled bbq chicken. They were very filling. The side of soup was good, but there wasn't much in them. Chips were homemade and fine. I wish the prices were a little lower on the sandwiches. The overall environment was cool, we enjoyed being among hockey friends, and we would probably stop again someday. read more

They charged me 2 separate drink charges for a "snakebite" which I suppose is a common practice now I guess. Ordered the poutine which was yum! They were able to seat my party of 7 within 20 mins so for that I'm appreciative. read more

I would say that their fried items are really good. My favorite were their poutine, sweet potato chips and the fried chicken in my grilled cheese sandwich. The tomato soup that comes with each grilled cheese sandwich was a disappointment. The soup wasn't soup at all, but it rather just tasted like heated tomato/marinara sauce... read more

The Yard's bottomless brunch is one of my favorites in Pittsburgh! They have a great deal where it's $15 for a maximum of 15 mimosas! I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time because it is always packed for brunch. I got the hot honey chicken and waffles which were amazing. Loved every bite of them and they also came with home fries! In the past I've also tried their breakfast flatbread, which is one of my favorite brunch options here!

We were looking for a fun, affordable place to have a "hooky" day and the Yard definitely fit the bill. The atmosphere was relaxed and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Food was incredible! So many options and absolutely delicious. I got the Fresh Prince grilled cheese which was so yummy, tons of mushrooms just like I like. Their sangria is fantastic, very fall tasting. The mimosas weren't the best but they were still decent. Food prices were decent, drinks were a bit pricey but doable. Great service and the bartender Antoine was fantastic. My only real complaint is where the bathrooms are. You basically stroll through the service station and past the office which is kind of awkward. Otherwise a good time! read more

Let say it may not be the most upscale joint but it's good. Lots of micro brews on tap but I could also get a Modelo so all good. The bartender was really great, helped with so local flavor and history which I always love. Didn't catch the name but he had a massive handlebar mustache. Now the food. I went light and had the potato soup which my grandson instantly said was not as good as grandma's. I also had the perogie appetizer-oh my my. Those may have been the best I've ever had-and I've been to Poland at least 20 times. These are pan fried and unbelievably good. We got two orders to go for snacking at the hotel-they didn't make it that long. read more

Nice spot. First things first... The food was good! My cousin suggested this place, so I had no idea what to expect. She made reservations, but once we arrived, she realized she made them for the wrong day. :( However, it was meant for us to have the experience here, because a party with the same number of diners didn't show for their reservation! #PerfectTiming Atmosphere is very upbeat, college kids (visiting parents), sports bar, younger mixed crowd, VERY loud, many TV's, lots of energy. We were drawn there for the bottomless mimosas, but had a slight issue when we were told that we couldn't substitute the orange juice for pineapple or anything else... After several conversations with the waitress (new staffer), manager and bartender, we were accommodated and quite pleased. Our waitress was nervous, but very sweet (she relaxed after a while - I just think the mimosa issue frazzled her a bit). The food was good, however the folks in my party are "particular eaters" and often request substitutions. Asking, "can you do this, instead of that" kind of orderers... (We all know people like this) So with that said, orders were not made as requested. I'm not holding that against the kitchen or new waitress, because once it was brought to her attention it was quickly corrected. So overall, I would return here on future visits. Cool prices, nice atmosphere, and good food. Oh and bottomless mimosas! read more

Food is always good and big portions. Eat here every time we come to town. Definitely recommend this place for a good sandwich!

I had placed two previous orders at The Yard and was impressed with the quality and fresh taste of the food that I had received. But this last time, almost two weeks ago, what I received was not what I had ordered or wanted. It was supposed to be a Jack Bauer but was instead a cold burger with wilted lettuce and tomato and cold tots. The potato chips that usually come with a sandwich order was absent. I emailed the business that evening of the poor service and have yet to get a response. I feel that The Yard has had ample time to respond and decided to provide my experience. All in all, I give The Yard two stars. read more

We took a Chance on eating here and ended up with a really nice waitress named Chance! The place was nice , music playing, games on tv, the decor was cute! Our waitress was right there to take our order food came quick. It was all really good. Seasoned nicely. I had French toast, over easy eggs with sausage. He had egg white, chicken and pancakes. Only issues was utensils came after our food with one napkin. Other than that every was all good. Thanks Yard. read more

Had dinner at The Yard because we were intrigued by the menu and was glad we did. Nice ambiance, very much a sports bar. Both the food and service were outstanding. I highly recommend the perogies as an appetizer. I had the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and my wife had the Slap Yo' Mama. The Always Sunny was fantastic. The Slap Yo' Mama was very good as well, but had a bit too much barbecue sauce for our taste, I think we would have preferred a bit less barbecue sauce and a little more cheese. But it was still very good. All the grilled cheese sandwiches come with tomato soup and house-made chips. I substituted tater tots for the chips, and they were very good. My wife loved the chips as well. We tried both desserts, the beignets and the Because We Got High. The beignets were very good but, being from the South, I expected a little more powdered sugar. I tried the Because We Got High mainly because you just have to try a dessert named Because We Got High. I must say, it is pretty aptly named. But, it was excellent and far exceeded my expectations. It comes in two sizes, I ordered the mini and it was plenty. They were very busy as this was a game day, but the service was excellent. They seemed to be working well as a team and everyone was very friendly. Definitely a great experience. read more

I went to the Yard on a Sunday during brunch, and it was freaking PACKED! I used to eat the grilled cheese/tomato soup here when I went to Point Park downtown, and heard good things about their brunch. My dad and I rode bikes for open streets and ended in Market Square at about 2 pm. We were hungry and decided to see if the Yard had any tables open since I expected brunch to be over. We walked in and the hostess told us the wait would be 1 hour. Then he told us he actually just has to tell us it will be 1 hour, but it should only be 10 minutes. I couldn't really tell if he was kidding, but the interaction was awkward. We then saw open seats at the bar and asked if we could just sit there. The bartender was SLAMMED. How do they have just one bartender on a Sunday brunch with unlimited mimosas and serving all alcohol for the full bar and restaurant?? He was obviously overwhelmed, but was still friendly. We placed an order for food and drinks at the same time since we could tell he was busy. I just wanted 1 mimosa and not the bottomless since I was driving. It was almost entirely orange juice - definitely would pass on it next time. The bartender never brought my dad his coffee until he reminded him after the food already came. I ordered a breakfast wrap and it was good. I left the potatoes, but the wrap itself was fine. My dad liked his meal. We both agreed that it was good, but basic. People seem to go here for the drinks more than the food. The women's bathroom was pretty bad. I feel like it had been destroyed from the night before. I definitely would not go back for brunch, but may visit for a grilled cheese in the future. read more

The loaded brunch tater tots is amazing in theory and it's great in Action. I think it sounds better than it actually tastes (the eggs a little soggy) but it was still exactly what I needed Sunday morning and definitely hit the spot. We also got bottomless mimosas and those were okay...I would like more OJ and less champagne but that is a personal thing (my friends loved them). There are great vibes inside and the service was lovely. My friends ordered the grilled cheeses and agreed with how I felt about the tater tots. Overall amzing food for a hangover and next time I would order some of their creative Mac and cheese dishes. They have great innovation with their dishes and a heart-attack but delicious way read more

A group of us decided on this place for dinner. Once we arrived, we (group of 6) were seated quickly and it was not long before our orders were taken. My only gripe was it took long to get all our drinks. And, it took long to see if we wanted more drinks. However, our food did come quick and hot. To me, that's worth a star or two. I would come back as the food is good but there are many options in the area that I haven't tried. read more
