    I was excited to try something new. It was very loud, seating is uncomfortable. Not much of a selection for food, and if you are health conscious, forget it. I'm glad I tried it, but wouldn't go back.

    Food and service were great. Only slight knock would be the noise level. The fans were all blasting, and it really was not necessary to have the misters on. Would go back again, but may request a table indoors.

    We had a reservation at 7:45, we arrived an hour early so understandable they didn’t have our table ready but kept telling us it would be sooner than our res. We were fine with waiting but we didn’t end up being seated until 8:05, 20 minutes AFTER our original reservation when we pushed the host to seat us. Very frustrating.

    Culinary Dropout at the Yard - PhoenixResponded on May 26, 2023We are so sorry to read this, this is not okay and you should never have to wait longer for your reservation. We totally dropped the ball and I am truly sorry. We'd love the opportunity to make this right, next time you come in please ask for myself and I will make sure you have a great experience! -Mandy, General Manager

    First time here will definitely be going back. Tried this place for restaurant week. So glad we did. Amazing food and service. Bonus the outside area, which is huge is dog friendly!!! The inside seating area was a bit loud, glad we sat outside. Outside was around 100, but outdoor seating area was comfortable. Plenty of misting fans. The portions were huge and came out hot and freshly cooked. I had pretzel bites with fondue and the fish and chips. A banana and praline desert, so good. We also got the homemade fries. The food was amazing. Service amazing (except the hostesses). Love this place will be back soon with the pup!!

    Service and food have steadily gone downhill in the years this hot spot has been open. My suggestion - don’t go on any holiday. It was chaos on Mother’s Day. Seemingly short-staffed - it took awhile to get seated for our reservation, drinks took forever, food came out cold and soggy and sporadically. Meh.

    Booked a reservation for Mother’s Day. We had a party of 5 for lunch. We waited an hour before a manager came over and apologized for the wait. We ended up waiting ANOTHER 20 minutes for half of our order with two of the meals being cold. I ended up having to give my teenager and husband food off our plate before the rest of our order arrived 10 minutes later. They ended up comping four sodas and one adult beverage for the inconvenience. Food was subpar and overpriced. We won’t be returning.

    The Yard is such a fun place but our most recent visit wasn’t the best. The waitress kept forgetting things we ordered like drink refills. It took forever for her to take our order. And then after a long wait for food, it was just ok. $220 later for a party of 4 adults and 2 kids… we left feeling like it wasn’t worth it.

    Asked for an inside table, and got places outside with no shade, did not get an umbrella until 10 minutes before we left. Dirty silverware, cold food, breakfast burrito was essentially all potatoes and no meat. Pretty disappointing for Mother’s Day.

    The food was greasy and over cooked. The potato chips were soggy with grease and the brussels sprouts appetizer was over fried. It was literally a plate filled with Brussel sprout leaves with very little center. The fried chicken was over cooked and dry. The coleslaw, however, was delicious. The mac & cheese was good. Overall a fail.

    Made a reservation in advance, patio seating facing 7th St., very cozy setting and very good experience. It’s been a few years, So we ordered everything. Appetizer The Slicer board for 29$ was a steal, we also got the Caesar’s salad, and the fried chicken entree. All were fire. Flannel season smash and classic mule for drinks. Will be back.

    This place is super cool with an awesome vibe. Great for families, friends and even a date night. The only reason it’s not getting a 5 star review is the prices of some items. We ordered the $30 charcuterie board and $15-$17 would have made more sense. It was mostly bread with very very little cheese (3 tiny cubes to be exact) and barely and meat. There was a tiny scoop of some raisin mix and a small cup cheese spread. It was nowhere near being worth the price tag and I would never order it again. The pretzel balls on the other hand were incredible, definitely order those.

Our server, Maddie was wonderful ☺️ she even had Tylenol for a patrons headache!🌻It was a great evening all around and loved seeing the families including the furry family members. 🐕‍🦺🐕🐩The only drawback are the happy hour hours, 2pm-5pm. Really? At least stretch it to 6pm. 🌻
