    Flatbread

    I went to The Yardery with friends after attending an event in Mount Dora. We wanted to grab a quick bite in a casual setting. This was a really cool place/concept. It is a two story building with outdoor seating only. On the first floor you have a yard with ganes for all ages, a fire-pit and live music. We went to the second floor to a sat there. Our server was friendly and super chill. He kept checking on us so that was appreciated. The food and portions were good. The only item wasn't a huge fan were the wings. They were dry-rub versus a sauce. They use a lot of disposable items, like plastic cups and silverware. I wish they had reusable (and stronger) silverware. Overall, it was a fun time. I liked the vibe and how family-friendly it feels ( even pet-friendly).

    Burger (bun removed so you can see the glorious cook)

    Stopped in for a burger during the blueberry festival so I could get both a seat and some shade instead of grabbing something off the street. Service took a few (very reasonable!) minutes to get going being that it was a busy day and time. This looks like a great place to kick back with friends, with the outdoor spaces and games. Not sure if the DJ was a special event or a weekend staple, but the overall vibe was fun for all ages. I had the burger and added the sweet potato fries, and I'll start with the drawbacks first. The burger cost $18 (I don't think they seem to have an option other than the signature one that comes with cheese, bacon and special sauce. I added what I thought are basic af toppings, lettuce and tomato, and removed a premium one, bacon. Had a 25 cent each upcharge for the lettuce and tomato without the "hey, there's an extra charge " heads up while ordering. The sweet potato fries looked amazing, cooked to a great color, visible salt flakes, but not even the lil skinny ones had a shred of crisp to them. The burger itself...while I could be picky and long for a smidge more seasoning or salt...actually made up for the fries shortcoming. Double stacked beef, juicy, with an impressive sear on the meat. Overall pleased with the experience. I'd go back, but probably would see if the regular fries fare any better.

    Stopped in for lunch on Friday afternoon. Service was good. Food was also good. We had the chicken wings, fish tacos, fries, and a side of Mexican corn. Everything was fresh and good. The only negative I would say was the seating area. While the restaurant sits very close to the lake, the downstairs seating was very basic with no view, no ambience.

    Fun spot located downtown. The Yardery gives the vibes you are heading to your friend's bbq. You will find backyard games and a full bar. Pet friendly and a rooftop bar. The pulled pork and the smash burger are the best I town. Service is fast and friendly. A must stop!

    This is our new favorite casual dining place, where we can also bring our puppy! Their food is unexpectedly awesome with homemade flatbreads and their entire staff is exceptional. Every time we return, we feel like a part of their family. We highly recommend!

    Hot honey chicken with fries

    We came here over the weekend for lunch and had a great experience! There were two floors to pick from, and both covered and uncovered seating areas. Upon arriving you are able to pick your seat! The service was quick and prompt! The food did come out quick, but not all at the same time. Not a huge deal but it was a few minutes between each entree being delivered. The food was really tasty and you can tell was made fresh! Everything we ordered came out perfect! One downside was the cutlery, they only offered individually wrapped plastic forks and knives, which not a deal breaker, but even the hot honey chicken was giving that fork a good workout! If we are ever in the area again we would definitely come back! We enjoyed our time at The Yardery!

    Restaurant has a second floor deck with bar for a great dining experience. We had a two person team today that did a great job serving. One question to owner... did you recently change your fries? A young lady (regular) in our party indicated that in the past they were quite a bit more favorable. My first visit....will not be my last!

    This is a great family space with outdoor games and a pretty neat view. It has a sports bar restaurant atmosphere and the food items to match. We went with the family and tried their salads and burgers accompanied by onion rings and the usual suspects. The vegetarian tacos are also good. The service is casual and limited. They have parking space along the street and it's busy during art festivals so be patient.

    Nachos with short rib

    The Yardery is a great addition to the Mt Dora food and drink scene. My wife and I went after the Mt Dora plant festival and had a great time. The outdoor second floor was awesome with the beautiful weather, service was fast and friendly, and the food was very tasty. We went with the nachos and added short rib, and definitely would recommend them. Great size to share as well! We plan to be back soon and I highly recommend you take a day and check them out!

    Had been concerned initially but the service ended being great The pretzels were fantastic and the Parmigiano wings (award winning) were super Prices were reasonable

    Let's get the good out of the way. The atmosphere is excellent. It is covered outdoor seating (think giant porch) in downtown Mount Dora. It is just up the hill from the lake so you get a nice breeze. They have corn hole and a ping pong table. It is very cute. The servers were very nice although clearly overwhelmed. I do believe this will solve itself once they have been open for a bit and get into the groove. The food was mediocre and took a very long time to get. I am sure once they have been open for a bit the timing will get worked out. What really drove down the rating was the amount of feathers that were still attached to the wings. I am well aware of where they come from but I would like all the plucking to be done before I get the wings. We removed at least 5 separate feathers. It will be a while before I go back.

    Beautiful Sunday in Mount Dora so stopped by here for the 3rd time. First two times were solid, had a 10-14-19yr old in tow, let's do it. Chicken nachos are terrible. The chicken could possibly be Tyson pre cooked and cut from Publix. Very bland. Cheese is white runny queso. 1.7/10 Ordered a cheese pizza. Sauce, cheese. It's not on menu but server said we can ring in the Marg pizza and make that work. Came out wrong. Right one was 5.8 Hot honey chicken- solid as always. Probably top 4 chicken Sammy in Central Florida. Sweet potato fries good. 9.1 Hot pep/sausage flatbread- little undercooked by 6.3 This is a blah experience at the moment which is fine. Can't be great every day...but then the server walks by with 4 plates of other people's eaten food and drops them next to us. Sauce flies all over my son's legs, shorts, and shirt. Server apologized, helped with clean up. Mess up order, spill other people's sauces all over a patron and no manager? Full price bill. Also didn't ask me if I had a number for rewards I signed up for. I had this marked as my family spot when in MD but unlikely to come back.

    Spent a sisters weekend in Mount Dora and had to try out The Frog and the Monkey and so glad we did…read more Perfect spot for bar eats... burgers, wings, salads, all the good stuff. My sister had the prime dip and I went for the turkey brie - both were delicious and super satisfying. Service was great too - everyone was friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. There is a parking lot right next to the restaurant, super convenient. The place is cozy and has a nice size bar area. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

The drinks were priced great and the soup and burgers were so good! But I went 01/10/2026 at 230pm (busy rush for a pub on a Saturday) and I ordered a burger and soup because they have a soup of the day each day, who doesn't love that. Well my soup came out quick and I was pleased with that, it was chicken orzo soup, so good! Well I start getting to the soup and thought oh wow they put cheese in here, didn't tell me it would have cheese and I'm rubbing it around in my mouth cause I like to taste my food you know? Well it wasn't cheese...... IT WAS SOMEONES CHEWED MINTY GUM IN MY MOUTH STUCK IN MY TEETH I got sick (in a napkin of course) and informed my server, ran to the bathroom some more getting sick and when I came back my server informed me I wouldn't pay for anything, I made a comment that maybe the dishwasher didn't do a good job but the server told me he wish that was the case that it was intended for an employee on break and he thought it was mine in the window and it wasn't, he apologized, well I took a couple shots of whiskey to kill the bacteria hopefully. I asked for a manger to come talk to me because I work in the food industry and I don't feel it was handled correctly, he informed me the manger was not there he had to text her to get the approval for the bill. So I was definitely taken back. I have never had anything like this happen to me and the two girls I was with also tasted the soup because I said it didn't taste right and they was literally given a bill for their 15$ burgers and I got a 10% card to hopefully come back. I have called twice to talk to a manger and have not gotten through to anyone, I've seen messages online to suspected owners and still nothing back, I was told the guy with the gauges in the kitchen is the one that did it, I woken up with a sore throat today and will be going to get tested and they will be informed of my medical bills by a lawyer. PS my friend ordered a burger Togo a few hours later for her aunt I went in to get the burger and pay with my 10% card and the short haired short server with glasses was seen laughing at the computer about the situation, I just don't think it was funny at all.

They have a bar area, inside seating and a beer garden. Part of the beer garden is under cover so it worked for us. There were Thursday specials and the beer menu could be viewed through a code on your phone. Our server quickly took our drink order, which for me was the $5 margarita special. The menu has interesting choices of a variety of empanadas, salads, burgers, bowls, entrees and sandwiches. I opted for a bowl with Mac and cheese and beef. Food arrived quickly and for me it was the perfect portion. For my husband, it wouldn't have been. The Mac and cheese was good, and the meats which were ground beef, brisket and short ribs cooked in a sauce were excellent. Our server was efficient and helpful. We were too full for dessert, but they looked interesting.

Large indoor/outdoor place. Dog friendly on the patio. The staff was so personable and fun to chat with. ALL the food was good, my favorites were the Fried Green 'Maters which are topped with Chimento-cheese, also the pretzel bites because that house made beer cheese dip is incredible! My boyfriend loved the empanadas. Beers!!! 4 Nun Blonde or the Golden Age ... which for a Belgian pleasantly surprised me! It reminded me of a cream ale. Wish it was closer to South Florida!
