    Oh yeah! Sunday Funday!
    Mariela B.

    I'm truly surprised I hadn't written a review. I absolutely love this place! I enjoy their menu, staff, drinks, and everything in between. The staff is personable. Some of my past servers have been: Kendall, Amanda, Tony, Trisha (sp?). They always tolerate my ridiculous personality, and work with us The food is always up to par. May I recommend the Mac attack? If you love cheese it will be the best thing you will experience. I have been here way too many times, at this point they know my order. You could NEVER go wrong with anything you order here. You can try, but you won't succeed. Also, the brunch menu is a mix of heaven, nirvana, and absolute deliciousness. The bottomless mimosas are definitely a nice touch too. If you don't like this place we need to swap numbers and discuss about how to get rid of the negativity in your life

    The Fresh Prince with House Salad

    My friends and I were looking for a brunchy-type place in the South Hills and The Yard in The Galleria had a menu right up our alley. The location is really cool, at the very top floor of The Galleria and indoor-open-air overlooking the rest of the mall. There's TVs all over the place, making it a great place to watch the game. There were lots of people with the Steelers jerseys on for the game, just what I like to see! The food was a little underwhelming, having come in with high expectations of their specialty gourmet grilled cheese. Three of us got three different grilled cheese sandwiches. There were a lot of options, so there is something for everyone, but they tasted average to me. The bread was hardly grilled, but the inside was really good. My friends were raving about their ranch dressing they got on their salads, and the tomato soup, albeit small, was really good too. My other friend got the Belgian waffle and she also said it was good. There was a lot blueberry/mascarpone relative to how small the waffle was. Given that the environment is open air, we felt pretty safe COVID-wise. All staff was wearing masks, tables were spaced out, they have clearly marked clean and used item areas, and silverware came individually wrapped in plastic wrap. The service was really friendly too.

    Sports bar ambiance with tasty brunch options. Friendly, attentive staff. We enjoyed our quick Saturday brunch here on 9/10/22

    Tomato Soup

    Overpriced menu items - really you're paying 15 dollars for a grilled cheese. They overfill the serving with chips and put what has to be a single ladle of tomato soup for each order. Picture attached is exactly how much was in a serving for a to-go order.

    This was my first time at the Galleria location. It's a gorgeous restaurant, tons of light. It was pretty hot with the sun so I would dress in layers. Our server was fantastic. Friendly, quick, great suggestions. I had gone with brunch on the brain. But once I eyeballed the grilled cheeses, I forgot all about brunch. I got the Buffy the Mac Attack Slayer. It' a grilled cheese with mac n cheese and buffalo chicken dip ON IT! It's a burst of flavor and impossible to quit eating, even once I was full. I also did the waffle fries which were good (the sweet potato ones are better). I did their basically bottomless mimosas. Delicious and fresh, they don't skimp on the Prosecco. For dessert, I shared the (I think I have the name wrong) Munchie bread or something. Idk it had a weed name. It's bread deep fried with Nutella, peanut butter, and marshmallow fluff. I don't even like dessert and it was the best thing I've tasted jn awhile. I will definite be back!

    Bottomless Mimosas

    We've been here a numerous amount of times. I am surprised that I had never reviewed the place. Today we came for brunch, however they were serving the regular menu and I couldn't sway away from my favorite "Mother of Dragons" once again, a glass of Malbec. My wife got the Bottomless "Mimosa", you pay $7 per Mimosa, and it's $15 for bottomless, which the cutoff is 14. It was a no brainer, as she may have slammed 6 of them back. In reality, when your glass is 1/2 full they refill it. The food was delicious as always, good service. Always a great treat to visit the Yard. The beers on tap were okay, I wish I could see more local beers available v/s craft beers in other states.

    This place did not disappoint! It's located inside the Galleria Mall on the very top level. It has a casual relaxed vibe to it. I was very surprised by how busy it was, but I soon found out why. This place was fabulous! Our waitress was fantastic. Although very busy, she still made it a point to check on us and provide top notch service. We started out with drinks and appetizers. The shake your Pom poms was very good almost like adult koolaid, but better. My boyfriend downed 2 of the fancy craft beers and seemed to really enjoy them. Our appetizers really hit the spot. The Buffalo chicken dip was spectacular and those warm pitas, wow! My boyfriend loved the poutine fries. I ordered the yard burger for my entree and my boyfriend went with the chicken and waffles sliders. Both meals were really good, of course, just like everything else here. This was our first date here and it definitely won't be our last. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

    Pittsburgh Steak Salad
    Sarah M.

    Come for the happy hour, but maybe find somewhere else for dinner. It was great to find ~$3 local beer on tap for happy hour (1/2 off) - & the special on Monday was that local beers were only $4 after happy hour ended. This seems like a great place to grab a drink after work. The space was spacious, and being tucked away on the top floor of the Galleria was fun. Our waitress was friendly, and even though bar service was slow, our waitress made sure we got our drinks quickly enough. However, the food left a lot to be desired. I was surprised by the prices to start, but that pricing led to higher expectations that were quickly dashed by mediocre food. $15 for a grilled cheese (tho with chips and soup) seemed pretty wild to me. So, I settled for a Pittsburgh Steak Salad (also $15) since that at least came with fries; I was disappointed to find that the salad was mostly lettuce with three waffle fries and three slices of cucumber on top. I can't imagine wanting to come here for dinner again, but the bar specials are too good to pass up the next time I'm looking for an afternoon drink.

    Snozzberry pancakes and a fantastic breakfast grilled cheese!
    Larissa G.

    If you like grilled cheese sandwiches and you're in the mood for a splurge, The Yard is the place to go! I'm a big fan of their downtown location, so I was excited when they announced they would be opening a new set of doors in the South Hills as well. I (and my family) have eaten here several times since it opened, and we always love it. Service is good and the food is fantastic! The last time I was here, a friend and I enjoyed a delicious brunch on a busy Sunday. Busy it may have been, but our waiter checked on us often and we were never left wanting. My friend ordered the Big Che-Bowski sandwich (which includes two cheeses, over-easy egg, bacon, and tomato) while I ordered the Snozzberry Pancakes (topped with Strawberry & Blueberry syrup and ricotta whipped cream). Both were nothing short of amazing. His sandwich was the kind of messy but appetizing grilled cheese that you savor with every bite, while my three sweet and tasty thick flapjacks had me smiling with every bite. Also, half of the stack had to come home with me, because it was MASSIVE. Good portions, good service, great food - it's everything I could ask for. That's why I always look forward to visiting The Yard!

    The Yard. Well, what else do you find in the yard? Heaping piles of crap, which is what the Yard has turned into. I have given this place multiple chances and every time I'm a little more disappointed and don't think I will be going back for a while. The first time I went I was satisfied. It was a new place with a new concept, but once I went back the menu changed and there wasn't must that caught my eye. Well my last experience will most likely be my last. We went and it sounded like a cafeteria. There was a table of at least 30 standing around yelling. Not the Yard's fault but Jesus. Anyway our server comes over and I asked for 3 waters because we were all running to the rest room. Well once we were all back we sat for a while, and I guess someone else noticed, I believe his name was Marcus, and he offered to take our order. Our actual server was Rachel and she was friendly/good with refills. Well we get our food and this is where the disappointment hits. We got the MTV wrap with chicken and it was a wrap filled with lettuce. So when you're paying $3 for chicken it's pretty disappointing. As for the side we got the veggie of the day, which was squash. It was okay and came in a tiny bowl, definitely not worth the up charge. Same thing with the side of Mac and cheese I got with the impossible burger. An extra $3.49 for a side of Mac and cheese that tastes worse than kraft. I just think the quality and quantity of food you get for the up charges are pretty ridiculous. There's nothing about the food that makes me think wow I can't wait to go back. If you want a good meal, just go downstairs to BRGR. If you want average food but for a reasonable price go to TGIFridays.

    Had wanted to try this place out for a very long time and finally got the chance this past weekend. The place looks great on the inside. We were here for dinner, but it would definitely be a fun happy hour spot. The service was great throughout the night as well. We ordered the buffalo chicken dip as an appetizer and it was very good. However, for future visits I do not think I would get an appetizer because the main course portions are huge. My sandwich was called Buffy the mac slayer. Buffalo chicken with mac and cheese. Sometimes a sandwich with mac and cheese can turn into a mess quick, however the quality bread they used help it stay together and made for a delicious sandwich. The home cut fries with their house made ranch were also very good. You can have your fries topped with different seasonings, I went with Cajun and it was perfect. I also really liked their tomatoe soup. My wife had a standard mac and cheese which she thought was pretty good. My mom had the frank the tank, which was buffalo chicken dip, cheese, and an onion ring. She wasn't a huge fan, but I thought it was great. My dad had the wang Chung which is bbq pulled chicken and Asian slaw. This was probably everyone's least favorite sandwich. Overall I was very happy with the trip and will definitely be returning to try more of their sandwiches.

The pickled items are all done in house, and menu/kitchen are very thoughtful on how they execute. They do the pickling well, and they incorporate their ingredients into the dishes without making them feel unbalanced. Some specifics: Chicken fried pickles: Great ratio of batter to pickle. Generally, I think execution of pickled spears versus chips is fraught with peril. ButterJoint does these perfectly. These remain excellent and an unequivocal "get again" dish. Crispy chicken sandwich: chicken thighs done in one of the House brines, then battered and fried. This is a generous sandwich with two thighs. The batter is light and perfect and perfectly adherent. Kitchen cooked these pieces perfectly; no overdone portions. The tallow fries served as a side remain excellent, and the serving is very generous. "You can't eat just one." Pork belly sandwich: what a completely fun bite! Generous serving of pork belly, crispy on the outside and melting internally on a perfectly toasted roll. The condiments on this sandwich are perfect. The brunch burger is excellent. The egg is hard cooked so it doesn't come apart on the sandwich. M got the corned beef hash; the brisket on it is absolutely amazing, and there is a very nice grill on the potatoes. The poached egg on top is a complete delight. This is one of the better hashes that I have had. The falafel is fantastic. Well seasoned, perfectly cooked. The goat cheese crust with hot pepper jelly is an unexpected treat. Pickle shrimp are fun. The Mississippi comeback sauce is basically a remolade or maybe big Mac sauce. Would totally have again looking for a little cold shrimpy bite. We have never walked away disappointed by the menu or the kitchen. Good bar program, good draught list. Consistently gracious front of house team. Great for lunch or dinner, couples or families. Highly recommended.

Got to try their chicken sandwich and vinegar pie. The chicken sandwich came with a garlic sauce (toum) and fresh vegetables on their signature milk bread. Needless to say, the bun was amazing. The toum was great too, perfectly garlicky. And the chicken was delicious, with a solid portion. A bit on the expensive side though. The vinegar pie sounded super unique and intriguing so I gave that a shot. So glad I did! This is delicious. I can't even really describe it; there's a tiny note of acidity to it, but it's also super sweet. A nice little brown topping as well. It's just really good and you should try it. All in all, recommend this spot. The inside area we were sitting at was a little bleak but other than that, it is a nice place to be!

I did end up ordering a glass of it. The food options arevery artisan. My husband opted for the meatballs . They are very large, the overall flavoring to him seemed a little blah. I did try them. I found them to be a very moist and thought the flavoring was good. I opted to do the featured flatbread, which was the mac attack. If you've had a famous, fast food chains signature burger with thousand island dressing you will find similarities. I did find the flatbread crust was a little bit to thick for my liking and there was more sauce on it than there was actual meat. It was OK. They have a private lot, which is fantastic as parking is at such a premium in the city.
