Smash burger was a bit disappointing. Bun wasn't toasted, so the bite was underwhelming. The patty was also not entirely smashed, and it was kind of dry. Still alright to snack on with friends. The fries themselves were good, the crinkle cut gives it a nice crisp and a nice, soft inside. The toppings were good too, some would say it was a bit much but I think the fries were the better item I got by far. read more

*** whatta bun~niful experience *** If you are hunting for a quick grub, this is your spot. I went with the Liberty Smash Burger combo with fries, drink not included. The burger itself comes loaded with sauce, pickles and onions. Tomato and lettuce'll run you a little extra. The bun is what makes this burger shine. I've had tons of burgers, and honestly, the bun is usually either soggy, dry or straight up falling apart. This one? Super soft and perfect. Makes the whole smash burger experience actually enjoyable. Despite the shocking looks and stares that made me feel like I wandered onto a reality TV show, service was, ok. The inside is pretty tight with just a handful of seats, but they've got plenty of picnic tables outside with umbrellas, so you're good either way. read more

What a special place. FINALLY was able to try this spot while we were rolling through this area over the weekend. Such a cute neighborhood hang with a park across the street, ice cream and beer locales next door, and street parking to enjoy it all. With the big soccer game playing, we were happy to grab a table in the outdoor patio to enjoy some sunshine and safety in an enclosed area for the kiddo, but also watch some of the game for lunch. Love that they have corn hole and toys for the kiddos out. The menu is pretty straight forward, and on weekends they have brunch specials too. But, we figured we had to try the smash burgers! They have a kiddo menu which is so cute (see photo) and offer smash burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, fries (steak frites and "filthy" fries with cheese, sauce, caramelized onions, pepperonis, chives), salads, and bowls. I love that you can do a Sando as a salad/bowl. I went with the Yard Bowl that comes with brown rice and veggies, topped with fried chicken. It was SO good. Hearty, great quality, and really just an overall stellar meal. We also grabbed smash burgers and the "Filthy Fries". There is a $12 meal that comes with a smash burger and plain fry combo which I feel is a pretty smashing deal :) They serve Alameda soda and have a really cool beer/wine/cocktail menu. I had to try the Brentwood Corn Fest cocktail that comes with vodka, lemon, creamed corn puree, jalapeño, and an elote rim. It was spectacular, and I didn't mind paying $14 for such a fresh, well-crafted, innovative drink. You get a buzzer after you order, and honestly the drink/food came out pretty fast! Very turnkey ordering process. Delicious way to spend a weekend afternoon. Seems like such an awesome community hang spot. Would love to try their Pickle Spritz next time (gin, pickle juice, dill, soda water)! I noticed Liberty Faculty students receive 10% off which I think is so cool. And..they use Martins Potato Buns..if you know, you know! Overall, I'm a fan. Great service, great feels, great hometown vibes. Hope to be back again soon! read more

Amazing and kind service. Only forgot to tell us lemonade was refill but we did get some refill at the end. All good was great. Smash burger and chicken and fries. I noticed the fancy fries had some pepperoncinis in it, wish I ordered extra to put in my burger too. Overall very tasty and I'd come again. Outdoors was great weather under the umbrella on Mother's Day weekend. Only thing is someone was trying to save the spot for other people who weren't there yet. Thankfully they did give us the table. read more

The Yard is definitely a family-friendly spot and one of our go-to places to meet friends. We brought our dog along this time, which is always a plus for us. This wasn't our first visit, and once again, everything was great. I wish I had snapped a photo of the food, but we've consistently been more than satisfied every time we come. It's usually pretty busy, but we've noticed it starts to quiet down around 7 p.m., so that's a good time to come if you prefer a more relaxed vibe. They've got large TVs playing games, which adds to the fun atmosphere. The cocktails were delicious. My root beer old fashioned had the perfect hint of root beer without being overpowering, and my wife's spicy margarita tasted super fresh with just the right amount of jalapeño heat. We shared the chicken sandwich (a favorite from our last visit) along with the crinkle-cut fries and their ranch, which is honestly out of this world. Another great experience at The Yard, we'll definitely be back! read more

While in Brentwood we decided to check this place out. Small indoor seating and large outdoor seating area. Lots of room for the kiddos. Good crowd on a Sunday afternoon. Service was good. The smash burger was ok. Maybe it would be better with grilled buns, lettuce and tomato. We enjoyed the filthy fries, though I'd ask for less toppings. The fries on the bottom were drowned in sauce and cheese. We also had the coconut pineapple coladas. Very good. All in all, our lunch was ok. Would I drive out here just to eat here, no. read more

I'll start by saying the location is great. Lovely outside area for for families to sit with misters on hot days. That being said the food was terrible. It was so bad I feel like we got scammed. We ordered the bowl, 2 burgers and the loaded fry's. 50 cents for one slice of tomato... Insane. Another 50 cents for some wilted shredded lettuce come on. My dog ate more of my food than I did. Our food was over $60! I would not recommend and I won't be back. read more

Great place to hang out with friends and the kids! Everything on the menu tastes great and their bar mixes up some really good refreshing drinks. Their smash burger and chicken sando are my 2 favorite menu items but you really can't go wrong with any choice. Plus they have a dedicated frier for their fries so it's a gluten free option as well! read more

Dropped by here today as I've been wanting to try it out. We loved the vibe and outdoor area and I was excited to finally come here. I ordered steak frites and was pretty underwhelmed- for $20 i honestly (and my family thought the same) that it would be bigger than it was. But I didn't mind it as much. What bummed me out was the rest of my family who all got sliders said their food was extremely salty. My partner didn't even find it edible and couldn't finish her food. Personally I would have been open to give it another shot but my partner was pretty turned off by it. Such a bummer because it seemed like the kind of spot we would love to enjoy on a beautiful day. read more

This is more a place for families and their kids along with teenagers and their friends. Me personally I don't consider it a place just to hang out and relax. They have the standard burgers fries, and chicken sandwich's some adult beverages. This is a place where you go to the counter place your order go to the table and wait till your order is up. There is no table service. read more

Went on Sunday, wasn't busy, but lots of tables were left with dirty glasses, food scattered about, floor dirty with scraps and trash. Ordered one beer and fries and a mocktail and came away with paying $35! Fries were ok and "free" sauce provided BUT heck that's expensive especially when the floors and tables are sticky and dirty. Not sure we're rushing back unfortunately. Check out the photo of the stale mint "bush" that was thrown in the mocktail ..., read more

Came to Brentwood to try this place specifically it was a suggestion on my insta feed. The videos made it look way better then it actually is. Overall it was just okay. The smash burgers are so greasy the bottom bun was soggy and I would say over all everything was over seasoned so salty. The flavors were all very overpowering making it tough to experience and enjoy each element of the food. Also the indoor seating is limited and when a large party is sitting like a vulture to take your table it makes the visit slightly uncomfortable. Overall the food was decent it's not bad but could definitely improve. read more

I have been here 2x now and both times, The Yard did not disappoint. I have had their burgers and their rice bowls, as well as a few bits of their chicken sandwiches, which are all so flavorful. The food is done well and plated nicely, too. The outdoor seating (also the only seating) has got such a nice feel to it; almost like a BBQ on a summer night with the people you love while the kids go play and adults have their conversations. I also love how they have their own soda's that they get from locally in the Bay. It's not the same as Coca Cola, but very similar and still very good. The service is also always very friendly and helpful, and the food is also fairly quick to come out, even on a busy day! read more

Nothing special. I got the double and the filthy fries. The sauce they use both on the burgers and fries has some kick. The burger was decent, however I wanted the patty edges more crispy. The onions were really good. As for my lemonade, it was super watered down. The service wasn't too bad. They took our order and gave us a buzzer to let us know when our order was ready. The ambiance inside was tiny with 3 table. The outside is where it's at. Lots of picnic benches they even have Jenga and corn hole. The chicken sandwich I saw someone get looks good. I would come back for that. I might be back. read more

This place is great. The outdoor space is a dream for parents and the fact that there are cocktails is the icing on the cake. That said there is literally NOTHING healthy on the menu. Can we get a grilled chicken sandwich instead of just fried? Can we get a salad instead of a rice bowl? There should be something for everyone and this is a big miss. That said, I still love you guys but cmon.. people would come more often if they weren't filling themselves with a gut punch each time read more

We have been avoiding this place due to the amount of children that are allowed to just freely run around the restaurant. Yesterday, we decided to give it a try. We were lucky that we got a table quickly and it was near the center bar seating area. The majority of us ordered the burger and fries combo. I ordered their root beer old fashioned and my friend ordered the pepperoncini margarita. The place is small where you order your food and it's quick service. Nobody waits on you. You also have to bus your own tables. The burgers were okay, the fries were really good. My old fashioned was good, but not $14 dollars good. My friends margarita tasted like straight up pepper juice. Wasn't for me. It would have been better if it had a hint of the peppers. My other friend got the chicken sandwich and she said it was good. It's bigger than their hamburgers. Overall, I don't think I would go back. The cocktails are expensive and there is just too many children that just run everywhere. Each step you take you basically run into a strange child. Their experience seems to be catered to "family friendly" but it's way too loud and chaotic. read more

Honestly, I've had better service at McDonald's. Not only was my order incorrect, but I wasn't even acknowledged when I walked in. One of the servers had a major attitude as well. The food was mediocre overall, though the fries were actually great. I don't usually leave reviews, but I am very disappointed. read more

I love the vibe of this place and the outdoor seating! I can see how it would be a great place to spend summer evenings, especially if they had a game playing or live music. Their soda and drink selection was amazing. I also loved their customer service! Cashier and employees were really chill. However, I want to be honest and say their food is just ok. In my opinion, it's too rich and heavy. Yet also a little bland? I had their chicken sandwich and felt like the meat was under seasoned but it was heavy and rich due to the sauces and toppings. It had the potential to be great but it just wasn't. Same with their fries. I forgot the name but we essentially got their version of a loaded fries animal style with sauce, onions, etc. Again, the fries themselves were under seasoned! I wish maybe they were salted? The sauce was rich but missing something. I'm giving them 4 stars because I do want them to thrive but they really need to work on their food. It's just very ok. read more

Overall I am thoroughly surprised. My boyfriend and I decided to check this place out on a Saturday evening. There's lots of seating and it's family friendly. It's very reminiscent of Gott's. Service was quick and helpful. We ordered the crinkle cut fries, "Filthy Fries", the Double Smash Burger, and Chicken Sando to share. I thought I would enjoy the Filthy Fries as it reminded me of In-N-Out's animal fries just from the look. I didn't enjoy the taste of the Attra secret sauce with American cheese. I'd skip trying it if it's your first time going. Their regular crinkle cut fries are much better (you can ask for their secret sauce on the side). I absolutely loved the chicken sando--a perfect blend of sweetness, very mild heat from the honey, tanginess, & umami. Their double smash burger was good but not necessarily something I would get again. Overall, I'd only return for their chicken sando and crinkle fries. Final rating: 4.2/5 *For anyone wondering, it's outside seating only so make sure to dress warm! read more

The yard is always a great time! They have such a unique setup with the bar inside, turf and games outside and a ton of outdoor seating. It feels like your at the park having a picnic, it's really something special. The staff is always so nice and in a good mood, it feels like they all love working there and have a ton of fun. The chicken sandwich is amazing, it's one of my favorite chicken sandwiches and the burger and fries are also great! They are also glad to accommodate folks who are looking for something lighter/vegetarian with a tasty grilled cheese. read more

We have been to The Yard twice since they opened & both the times we had a lovely experience... First visit we went with friends & their 2 yr old ... he had a blast playing with all the kids & toys ... we loved the vibe ... "Yard brings the community together" this is exactly what Brentwood is all about... visit farmers market, downtown or some of the restaurants you will get that same spirit... Second visit we shared our table with others , who were happy to share their space... it's a community seating so don't feel shy to ask... Here are the items we tried during our two visits- We tried their beers, cocktails, Smashed burgers, Chicken Sando & filthy fries. Everything was delicious, cocktails were amazing , staff were very friendly... Kudos to Attra for their new venture we are so lucky to have them invest in our community!!! read more

Girls night out at this new location. I must say they met their examples in concept art but it really turned out to be a lot of wasted seating space. The outer locations of the "yard" are surrounded with wood, three sided seating. One small table per seating section. The area is so large they could have split each one and had more of an intimate seating for groups with the table being more comfortable and inviting. When they went for yard, that is pretty much what you get. It felt more of a daycare than a real family environment. Great you can bring your kids, but it's not a daycare and people shouldn't be asking your kids to not throw a normal size football over your head or into your seating area. Or having to watch your step for small toys strung all out on the ground. The staff? Absolutely amazing. Most of them are younger and I must say they hired great people. Food.. We ordered a smash-burger and fries. We asked if we could spilt the burger and the order taker offered to have it cut in half. This was a fail as the burger came out cut 1/4 down the middle. Fail on the food preparer. lol Fries were great, just your average crinkle cut French fry but fried well. We each tried the "Class of 06" Couldn't really taste the alcohol, and it was just ok. We unfortunately came late near closing so we didn't get to try other menu items. Overall, if you want your kids to roam free like at Chucky Cheese, this is your spot. But if you're looking for more of a chill vibe you'll get it at first but it dissipates after a while. Not sure if we'll return. read more

Paying customers don't have a place to sit. It was $41 for a burger, fries and one cocktail. Thats absurd. I had been hopeful that this place would be a hit but they have to get so many things under control for customers to return. The place was flooded with toddlers and many others just loitering without any purchased products. This diminished the overall experience. It felt like an open city park rather than a restaurant. The burger was good and the drink was tasty. However, it took a very long time to get them. The waiting area for food was also crowded and unorganized. A key to a storage closet was left in the door. Bathroom was not clean. Huge potential here but massively disappointing so far. Parking 0/5 Return value 1/5 Quality of food and beverage 4/5 Value 2/5 Customer Service 3/5 read more

Well we could not resist and went to The Yard again - this time to try out their cocktails and Chicken Sando. And we were not disappointed ! The Pepperoncini Margarita hit the mark with its sharp sting in the first sip after which the Bianco Tequila comes behind it soothing and numbing you! I loved it. The Class of '06 was hibiscus infused vodka with lemonade was so refreshing and perfect for the hot summer evening! Better half was happy ! The Chicken Sando was humongous in size with a perfectly fried chicken between the potato buns along with lots of pickled cucumbers and their secret sauce, The only negative we could find in this was that potato bun did not hold up and broke and shredded as we dug into the Sando, But we can attest, it did not take away anything from its taste ! The star of this place - The liberty Smash burger was so good and well prepared , we wolfed it down in just a few bites. Perfectly cooked and smashed patty and perfect bun to meat ratio, we will dream of this tonight! And then the Attra sauce took it to the next level! Even the regular fries here are amazing - fresh crispy to a crunch in each nibble and so very lightly salted they can hold their own against the star dishes here! And if you get the Attra sauce and cheese over them as in the Filthy Fries, they become the most sought after and tasty version of Fries we have ever come to love ! The place was crowed and busy with families eating and children playing around - just the kind of place Brentwood needs more of! And then one of the wait staff walks around taking orders of seconds on your cocktails. No need to get up from your seat at all!! Talk of thoughtful service ! See you all there next Friday evening ! read more

Took my mom here for her birthday dinner before a movie and well although she enjoyed it I felt like I spent money on burnt crisp, first off I don't know if it's just a Brentwood thing but the off brand sodas they have to go it's not very good tasting. The burger I love smash burgers but i felt like I got no meat at all just burnt crisp and the chicken burger I felt like had no flavor to the chicken. Best thing from the food were the fries very well done. The ambience is great I love being able to see the community get together eat together with the type of seating they have. And the service was great it was very quick. read more

Adding another pic to my review! If you're craving the chicken sando but want a healthier option...try the brown rice bowl with yummy veggies (this time it was sweet potato), and the same delicious crispy (or grilled) chicken. You have to ask for the chicken with it and the veggies vary, but the sauce made it next level. read more

Honestly, this place was much needed in our area! A chill place you can bring your kids during the day and or meet up with friends to hang for a bit. Limited menu makes it easy as they have smash burgers, chicken, and fries. To my surprise they also have a veggie bowl making there be something for everyone in my group. This place stays packed and now I know why. It's well thought out. You order inside then grab a spot on the lawn. They have a full bar along with crafted Alameda sodas, lemonade, and ice tea. There are televisions giving it a sport vibe feel. Everyone is so sweet and the prices are reasonable. read more

Our waitress was warm and welcoming from the start! Group of 6 all ordered the smash burger and fries combo and they were SO good!! Crispy fries and the burger and bun were on point. The sides of ranch and their special sauce were also quite tasty. We ordered "pineapple coconut pina colada" and "class of '06" cocktails and they were so refreshing! The whole set up is very chill. Mostly outdoors with a lot of wooden tables set up, heat lamps, turf w/ lawn games and there was some fun catchy music playing too. Will definitely be back! read more
