While on a business trip to Pittsburgh, I had dinner at this place with colleagues. They have a dedicated Gluten Free menu. I ordered the grilled chicken with cheese on GF bread, and sweet potato waffle fries. The atmosphere and service were great. I failed to take a picture due to the lively conversation with my colleagues. read more

This restaurant makes grilled cheese special! I love all the different menu options from beef, to chicken, to veggie so everyone is happy. I ordered the Mother of Dragons and still craving another one! The grilled chicken breast is thick and tender, topped with fresh jalapeños and of course extra goey pepper jack and American cheese, all on buttery texas toast. The smoky chipotle ranch sauce is delicious and compliments the other ingredients, just with there was a little bit more of it to add a spicier kick to the sandwich. Every sandwich comes with homemade chips and tomato soup. I'm a huge fan of their tomato soup, it's creamy, plus the seasoning is incredibly flavorful and makes for a perfect dipper for your grilled cheese and chips. We also got an appetizer of fried banana peppers which were good, but simple and came with a side of ranch. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Met a former colleague for lunch and it was great! Service was excellent, food was hot and tasty and the place is fun! Love the mural on the wall. The smack yo mama sandwich with sweet potato fries and tomato soup was great on a rainy day. I loved the food and the atmosphere. I want to come back and try more sandwiches! Seems like a great place to hang out. read more

The food was good and it was good service. I would recommend it to others go there right now.

Great lunch. We had the Cheesey Capresey w tomato spup and the Che-bowski w chicken noodle soup. Both were delicious. Fast service, food was served hot, and clean restaurant. They have some weird wall decor, pretty lame. I didnt care for the silverware sitting out in the open on the table, who knows if others touch it or sneeze on it? Ewe? That's so unappealing. Is it that hard for the servers to bring it to the table w your food? Definately need to change that. read more

We stopped in at 6:00pm for dinner. Ordered 3 meals and drinks. It was an hour later before the food arrived. Our server, never said sorry it's taking awhile or acknowledged the long wait. Our food arrived on a hot tray, with cold sandwiches. They clearly had been under a heat lamp for an extended period of time. It was an overall disappointment. The food was meh, the service could have been better with simple acknowledgments. I know it is not on the server for wait times, but they have to communicate. read more

We stopped by The Yard for dinner while staying at a nearby hotel. Honestly we confused it for a Yard House restaurant, but had a good visit. Service was prompt and friendly. A good selection of drafts and cocktails with daily specials and happy hours. The menu had a variety of items from flatbreads to sandwiches. The bulk of the menu focused on gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. My wife ordered the caprese grilled cheese and really enjoyed it! I tried the Yard Walker- grilled chicken sandwich, which was tasty and had a nice portion of bacon on it. Overall a good stop for a quick bite on the road. read more

Still great food and service. Their brunch is delicious in addition to the grilled cheese sandwiches. Always loud even when not crowded, but a good atmosphere. read more

I really like the tomato soup. Their beer selection is good, but it used to be a larger selection I think. On a Friday night there was no wait, but it was busy. I was happy to see the Pirates game on numerous tvs. read more

Got the worst food poisoning of my life at this restaurant. I'm talking 5 full days of not being able to keep anything down (and worse, I'll spare you the details). I almost ended up in the ER becuase it dragged on for so long. I wasn't going to write a review here because I assumed it was just a one time thing. But come to find out this is a common occurrence, not just at this location but apparently at ANY Yard restaurant. It's all over the Pittsburgh Subreddit. DO NOT EAT HERE. They are NOT CLEAN, they use spoiled ingredients and expired food. It's not worth your health to eat at an overpriced B grade restaurant! https://www.reddit.com/r/pittsburgh/comments/1qzfqy0/the_yard_galleria/?share_id=_CMGKmlR08IK7b4NhCf6D&utm_name=androidcss read more

My coworkers had tried this place and gave it positive reviews. I figured why not. This place has a nice setup with artwork on the walls, good amount of seating. The bar is at the center of the main area. There is a shared parking lot that is kind of tricky to get into, if you take the first turn it brings you to the dumpster and unloading area. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. I ordered the Mac Attack witb bacon and tator tots. My thought was that this was a bowl of mac-n-cheese, with crumbled bacon. It was actually a grilled cheese sandwich filled with mac-n-cheese. Cool concept and it was pretty good. I actually ate it with a fork and knife. It could get messy trying to eat it like a traditional sandwich. Cash/Credit/Debit are accepted here. read more

If you love a gourmet grilled cheese, this is the place. The fried g grilled cheese was delicious. Made on Texas toast and served with gourmet tomato soup and chips but I opted for the tater tots. Hubby had the Ched which had tons of cheddar, two smashed beef patties and mac n cheese on sourdough, which was huge! Few things we did not like was the restaurant was cold due to the layout and the front door and the bathrooms were in the back and you had to snake through a hallway and it felt like a night club and wasnt as cleaned as I'd liked. read more

Ordered the Smack Yo Mama with house chips, tomato soup & an iced tea for dinner via delivery option on Yelp. The menu options were fairly extensive with lots of tasty options to choose from but who wouldn't want to order a grilled cheese with pulled bbq chicken named "SMACK YO MAMA"?!? The meal was great! Very meaty, very filling, very tasty. The house chips worked well to scoop and dip in the soup (my biggest complaint was the soup not being as hot as I would've liked). I really appreciated that the meal came exactly how I ordered, with the sweetener for my tea, utensils, etc. Thank you! read more

This place was crowded so I decided to check it out. My ratings are from 1-10. 1 being the lowest, 10 the highest. Service and staff: 10- the servers and staff were extremely accommodating, patient, and polite. Food: 2: I was enjoying my flat bread pizza, until I noticed there was hair embedded in the cheese. That was the end for me. The waitress did apologize and comp me however, I wish it never happened the pizza was good. Environment: 2- The place is filthy. I noticed that the moment I walked in. Tables haven't been bused, food on the floor, tables and chairs, and since there was a hair in my food I'm sure the kitchen is dirty too. Overall, this place was a miss for me but...Many people still frequent. Feel free to check it out on your own. Good luck! Eat and live well! read more

Had a great time here last night for a casual happy hour with an organization I'm a member of. Some of us arrived earlier and started at the bar and they were accommodating with seating the rest of us at a table near the bar so we could mingle. I had the Everyday I'm Trufflin flatbread which I enjoyed and I appreciated that they have some non alcoholic beers on their menu! read more

Ambiance could be better, very plain. Service was odd. We had a large party and they brought everybody's food at different times, which wasn't convenient. Food, however, for being generally bar type was very good. Thus, ambiance 4, service 4, food, 5. It was worth it! I enjoyed being there. read more

We stopped in to eat before heading to the airport. Fast service at the bar. The food was awesome!! Very nostalgic with the grilled cheeses and tomato soup. Got the one with the fried egg and bacon and it was delicious. read more

Came here for lunch while on my trip to Pennsylvania. It was a Sunday afternoon for lunch. There were quite a few people there to watch the steelers game which made for a nice atmosphere. The big thing here is the unique types of grilled cheese sandwiches. We had the pretzels and pierogis. The pretzels were very good. Unfortunately I couldn't try the pierogi because they came out with a spring mix garnish that I'm allergic to. I was told they were good though. I got the big che bowski with tots and tomato soup. The sandwich was good but I had hoped the egg was cooked over easy but it was hard fried so no yoke. I didn't like the tomato soup. Overall I enjoyed the meal and wish I could go back to try other things. read more

I highly recommend this place if your looking for a restaurant that isn't a chain. Loved the Buffalo Chicken Dip!!! Karen, waitress, was excellent. read more

I have heard many good things about The Yard, but haven't had the opportunity to experience it until this week. It is a typical chain pub, with a rather unique twist on the standard bar menu. They specialize is the widest variety of grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever seen. A buddy in my party chose one of those; my wife got the Smash Burger and me being me, I got wings (mild Buffalo with blue cheese) The food was GREAT!! In fact, I would highly recommend the wings. They were literally perfect. We drank a few drinks, enjoyed our meals and had excellent service. In fact we really enjoyed ourselves until the very end, when we decided to use the restroom before going home. I cannot express enough the deplorable condition the men's room was in. I have used cleaner facilities in the worst roadside pee stop one can think imagine. And it wasn't that the restroom was just filthy. I can understand a bad day or circumstance. It happens right? No, half of the facilities IN the bathroom didn't work. Toilet didn't flush at all and one of the sinks didn't work. To top that off only one hand dryer worked. This isn't the result of a bad day or someone forgot to clean the bathroom. That kind of disgrace is the result of systemic neglect. If they're neglecting that aspect of public hygiene, one has to wonder what's happening in that kitchen where we don't get to see?? I'm writing this review as a chance for you to improve. The front end of your business is good. But I'm telling you a health inspector seeing what I saw would not be as kind. Get better!!! Restroom cleanliness should be a priority at every restaurant!! read more

Such a great place for brunch! I had the Belgium waffle and it was delicious! I've been to the yard for dinner as well as lunch but honestly brunch is my favorite. You can't beat the price! I also enjoy the atmosphere at the Shadyside location. read more

Loved the grill cheese and tomato bisque and the servers were very attentive! They were quick to serve as we had our grandbaby with us

Came here for dinner last night with my friends and had a great time! The atmosphere was nice and our waitress was great. She was so nice and got us everything quickly and checked in often, even though they were pretty busy that night. I got the fried fish sandwich off of the lent menu and it was so much better than I was expecting! I can't wait to go back when I'm able to have meat, because my friends meals looked so good and they loved them, too! read more

Started off bad with hostess sitting me literally right next to the fffff door. 35 degrees and rain. When asked to move, "nothing available". Legitimately, 47% tables empty. Yes I did the math. Waitress was ok. Food was as ok. Pass on the chips. Soup was good read more

I visited the location at The Galleria. It was a Friday night and the restaurant was more empty than full. We went as a work group. They consider themselves a grilled cheese restaurant, but I wouldn't really consider that to be accurate. They have a pretty big menu and the prices are fair. I ended up ordering a sandwich with chicken, bacon and cheese. I chose tots as my side. I forgot and was pleasantly surprised to see that I also received a cup of tomato soup. The soup was very good. The sandwich was okay, not anything special. I also ordered an app of soft pretzel sticks. They were decent. I enjoyed the happy hour beer pricing. I think our entire group enjoyed what they had. I would like to visit again on the weekend for the bottomless mimosas. I would go again. read more

I was in town for business and there were so many restaurants around the hotel (airport area) that it was almost hard to choose what restaurant to visit. I try not to dine at chains if I can, and this place sounded good after checking out the menu online. Vast dining area in a strip plaza that seats many and can also be a great place to catch any sporting event with the large bar and tons of televisions. We were seated in a quieter area of the restaurant and dove into the menu. The items are very uniquely named and it was fun to read the explanations of the the food offered. I went with "YO MTV wraps" and I felt exponentially old when I realized the waitress probably wasn't even born when that show was on tv! This place makes its own potato chips and they were amazing. The servers were very attentive, responsive, and helpful. If I lived in this area, I would definitely consider this place as a sports bar to go to a lot vs a Buffalo Wild Wings. Unique place with cool graffiti art throughout as well - check it out! read more

Very disappointed in the many fruit flies that were swarming our table. When I cut my sandwich in half one managed to land in my bun and was crawling in it and had to dig it out. The orange slice garnish on my drink also appeared dirty and removed that right away. The drink also was very weak (the Aloha one). The food was good but was annoyed the whole time. Service was good. Didn't need to wait long for food. read more

If your looking for a gourmet grilled cheese (they even come with fun names).....you have found it at The Yard. The menu doesn't stop there as there are other options if you aren't in the mood for grilled cheese. I ordered the Smack Yo Mama---don't worry no Mamas were actually harmed :) and hubs ordered Laferty Daniel (aka Chicken Parm). Both sandwiches were full of flavor and had great combinations of items on the sandwiches. My only gripe about the meal was that the restaurant was empty and my soup was ice cold when it arrived at the table. read more

I've stayed in the area near this restaurant about 10 times, but never came in due to the mixed reviews... But recently decided to give it a try and it was EXCELLENT! The service I received from the bartender (guy with longer, blond hair) was great and very helpful. He mixed some really good Kettle One martinis, which I enjoyed! I opted for their grilled cheese that's done like a Philly cheesesteak and it was great. I started with their poutine and that was amazing. Highly recommend stopping in... I'll be back myself! read more

I have been to 2 other locations of the Yard (Downtown and Galleria). Food and service are always good so I expected the same from this one. To my surprise, it was BETTER!

All in all, a great place for lunch! read more

Atmosphere - industrial chic. The restaurant is located near the Robinson Mall. The area facing the large parking lot is completely open. There is tons of seating and the place is very noisy. Service - uneven. I would likely give the restaurant 4 stars had service been better. The staff is not particularly friendly. Nor are they overly attentive. In fact, despite the restaurant being packed (it was 7pm on a Saturday night), four of the staff members spent nearly 30 minutes standing around and talking to each at the check in area other while occupied tables with dirty dishes went unattended. Our server was initially attentive and then disappeared after our food was delivered. In the end, a meal that should have lasted 45 minutes or so, took nearly 90 minutes. From seating to a paid bill. If there was a manager in attendance there was no sign of her/him. Food - Decent. The restaurant specializes in grilled chess and there are plenty of interesting variations on the sandwich. However, there are many other sandwich and entree options from which to select. I ordered the Cheesey Capresey grilled cheese and it was very good. A cup of tomato soup is included with the sandwich, which is just OK. I split a side of tots with a friend and they were good. Overall Value - Average. The sandwich was $14.50. A bit on the expensive side in my opinion. Especially given less than stellar service. read more

For eight dollars I got two drops of cold tomato soup. No. Absolutely not. Never again. Also it was super salty.

The Yard is great for typical bar fare and has a fun vibe. Our favorites are the Poutine with Tater Tots and Mac Attack Balls. I haven't tried the healthy options yet but they look good too! Check out their menu with pictures online. :) read more

The food we received was great! Our appetizers came after our food. Some of the appetizers we ordered never even came. Our waitress seemed very inconvenienced when we asked for refills and was super rude. 10/10 would not even hire her to microwave a hamburger. read more

A little over two years later, I feel the need to update my review. Both the quality and service has gone down since my first visit to this location in November of 2018. The food. I don't even know where to start. First of all, many menu items are over-priced. It was $10.99 for a wing appetizer, however, this only included 6 very small wings! I wish we were warned of this before ordering because paying almost $2 per wing is absolutely ridiculous unless they are the full size wings. Secondly, there are so many upcharges on the menu! I understand a few upcharges here and there for specialty items, but I felt like almost everything had an upcharge. For example, it's an upcharge to add anything to your salad or order any other side with your sandwich other than the chips/tomato soup it comes with. You pay more for coleslaw, salad, waffle fries, sweet potato fries, etc. They definitely need a few side options on the menu that aren't an additional cost (especially for those who don't like tomato soup). The service. I've been to The Yard twice recently, and was unfortunately given the same server both times. The first time we were there, we gave him the benefit of the doubt and figured he was having a bad day. However, I had him for Sunday brunch, and he was equally unkind, inattentive, and unwelcoming. The second time was for my cousin's 21st, so we definitely wanted someone who was nice and could at least put a smile on his or her face! Overall, it's overpriced, and the food isn't anything special in my opinion. I don't plan on visiting this location of The Yard in the future. read more
