    We went for a hike at Green Lakes and decided to give this restaurant a try. The views were spectacular and the service was great. The food was super delicious and we took a spinach artichoke dip to go!

    I came for the views but definitely stayed for the food and cocktails. Yards Grille was absolutely delicious! I dined during their lunch hours and quite a few selections to choose from. I opted for their turkey, bacon & swiss croissant sandwich while my lunch date ordered their Haddock sandwich & fries. My entrée was very good and filling. I was only able to make it 1/2 through my meal before I inevitably had to lean back in my chair and soak up the views. My lunch date states that their fish sandwich was fried perfectly and also very filling. The service here is immaculate. From the hostess, bartenders, and waitress, everyone was so kind. I look forward to returning, hopefully before the season is over to try their dinner menu.

    2025 update: Ever since our first visit to Yards Grille a couple of years ago, we've been thinking about their lobster roll. Turns out it's just as overstuffed and good as we remembered! The service was good and the view on the deck overlooking Green Lake was beautiful.

    Birthday Lunch at Yards Grille

    Wonderful birthday lunch at the Yards Grille on the patio overlooking the beautiful golf course and waters of Green Lakes. Food was good and server was great.

    We would love to spend more days at green lake state park. There were so many trails we have not explored. Also the golf course is in the state park very nice with their good restaurant called "Yards " . Food are excellent . We especially like their waiters service . I gave him a very good tips .

    This place is a must-try. Not only are the views absolutely stunning but their seemingly unassuming menu is executed to perfection. Let's start with the atmosphere. Nestled within Green Lakes State Park, you get an incredible view of the lake, golfing greens, and natural scenery for miles. It's truly gorgeous if you sit on their deck in good weather. The inside has an upscale cabin vibe with lots of wood and a stone fireplace, which seems cozy in the winter. As far as the food, I was stunned at how good their Waldorf salad was. Chicken salad is one of those simple foods you don't expect much of, but theirs is impeccable. Something about the balsamic and big, ripe grapes in the Waldorf really sent it home. Highly recommend as either a salad or sandwich, you can't go wrong.

    We sat outside on the Patio so cannot comment on the main dining room but the view was amazing. This restaurant is nestled next to a golf course and State park and made for a beautiful fresco dining experience. Wait staff were friendly and attentive. The food definitely did not disappoint either. Portion sizes were huge and Entrees were reasonable priced. This is a great date night or girl's lunch kind of place. Highly recommend.

    One of my favorite spots to eat in the summer time. Can't beat the views, and mixed berry mojito was delicious and refreshing as always. Service is always wonderful; servers and hostess are friendly. Expect to wait because this place is popular especially on a a sunny day!

    I love it here. After walking / hiking around green lakes I usually come here after for drinks/ food and the views!! Yards Grille is right in Green Lakes park , located on the golf course. They have indoor/outdoor seating and Adirondack chairs on the lawn. The waitstaff are all so friendly. They have delicious fresh drinks that they change up seasonally. The food is also phenomenal. The crab dip ughhhh. Sometimes they have lobster rolls on the menu which is my go to. It's always a relaxing ambiance and what's better than sitting out on the patio during the afternoon with these beautiful views ?! The food/drinks are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for!

    Chicken salad sandwich 9/10; tasty bite and it was PACKED with chicken salad! Paired it with an Arnold Palmer which was just alright
    Cassie C.

    Grabbed a bite to eat here after a walk around Green Lakes. Started our meal with the crab cakes as an appetizer. The taste was pretty good but the cake itself didn't hold together all that well. The chicken salad sandwich was beyond filling! I scarfed it all down because of the walk we'd just done, but if I hadn't been as hungry I easily could've taken half home. The servers were very attentive, regularly stopping by our table to ask if we needed anything. And nothing beats the view of this place. You overlook the entire state park and there's even Adirondack chairs on the expansive lawn to take in the view better.

    Last review was 7 years ago and Scenic Root is still out here doing their thing and doing it well…read more We've been going since the early days and it's one of those places you just know is going to be good every time. I ordered the tropical salmon and was side eyeing the coconut a little, but wow... it all came together perfectly. Sweet, tangy, and the salmon was cooked exactly right. Service never disappoints, and whoever was behind the bar deserves a shoutout because that blackberry margarita was dangerous. I went back for round two and I'm not sorry about it. Dessert was a dense chocolate cake that didn't even last long enough for a photo, which says everything. Consistently good food, fabulous drinks, and a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel like family.

We ordered the bang bang shrimp appetizer, and the batter was so crispy and also fluffy (almost like a battered haddock but lighter) - awesome! The bang bang sauce has great flavor, but slightly too mayo forward for my preferences - but ate it up nonetheless and would get them again! I also ordered a blackberry margarita- which I will say was strong, but the flavors were great. When I asked if they minded giving me a couple Slices of lemon and some simple syrup (and yes I admitted that it was a ME problem, not that they made it poorly- it was just stronger and I'm a big wimp!) , they promptly, no questions asked said "we got this" and put the drink back in the shaker and added some simple syrup (mind you I was totally fine with just a little shot glass of it to dump in my drink!) - so the willingness to be so helpful was very appreciated. As for our entrees, one of us ordered the Cajun Alfredo and one of us ordered the Tropical Salmon, both were made incredibly well, and the flavor and seasoning was fantastic! The Alfredo sauce when I tried it was lovely, not so thick and "artery clogging" as some Alfredo can be, but coated the noodles beautifully and packed a flavorful punch. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the pineapple and coconut in the rice made for an amazingly delicious dish. We were also fortunate to sit at a window overlooking the swan pond and then take a nice walk around the pond. So lovely- cannot wait to go back!!

We had a reservation and were seated as soon as we arrived…read more Our table was a mismatch of a 4 top and 2 top that were slightly different heights so that was awkward. We had calamari and Utica greens for starters. The calamari was bland to my taste but the rest of the party liked them. The greens were fine, could've used some spice. Very small portion. I had the branzino oreganata. Fish was cooked well and the tomatoes on the side were tasty. The asparagus was bland and one piece was woody. Not bad overall. I will say that the entrees don't come with a soup or salad so that's something to be aware of. I'm not sure if this happens regularly but there was also a dude named Pinky playing keyboard and sax in the corner. Never thought I would hear smooth jazz versions of "Sweet Caroline" or "Danny Boy" or even "If I were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof. Certainly an international setlist. Overall a fine experience.

This place is perfect for the Sport's enthusiast as there are TV's on every wall pretty much, for fans to catch their favorite teams playing. There is also, a separate room off the bar area for large gatherings. Our waiter was warm and friendly. He took our order promptly.... we waited and waited for our food to come out. Mind you we ordered two sandwiches and a bowl of soup. The soup came out and again we waited. Unfortunately, all we got to try was the soup as we had an event we had to get to as our sandwiches when asked were not prepared. Sometimes things happen when you run a business and it is how you handle them that is the difference between just a restaurant and a great restaurant. This restaurant would earn five stars on just how things were handled. Kudos go to the staff there.... The French Onion soup we had for me was not my cup of tea as it was over seasoned and had way too many croutons which between the seasoning and bread overpowered the soup. My partner in crime thought it tasted OK and proceeded to devour the soup so will leave that up to you to decide LOL !!!!

My friend really enjoyed a sangria drink as well. I ordered a burger with chips instead of fries - it came out with fries that were SO good and crisp I decided to just keep them and was quite satisfied. Our server (Evian?) was amazing, patient and gracious and gave personalized service for a group of 10+. She even took a picture for us! The manager came to check in during our meal as well. My ongoing complaint with Craftsman is the ambiance. It is gorgeous inside, the patio is pretty okay, but I have never been a comfortable temperature there...either way too hot or way too cold! I recognize that could be personal preference or a seasonal issue but it's been my experience more than once. They are currently doing some construction in the hall outside the bathrooms. I personally think it is a little overpriced but what they offer is higher quality than some similarly priced restaurants in the area so it doesn't deter me, I just know when I'm there I'll spend a bit.

It would've helped if we checked the dining hours. Got there 15 minutes ahead of opening, which was fine. Sat down in a nice open-aired dining room, Clean, airy, white table cloth. The place filled up quickly. Our server Rachel was quick to come over with a warm invite, water, and brought bread, butter, and oil. If you like Italian food, this is a place you should hit up. Huge variety of dishes, including a wide array of appetizers, soups, and sides. I'm a huge fan of eggplant so couldn't resist. Our service said it was excellent. She was right. It comes one of two ways in that you can get it as a dinner or à la cart. I went with à la cart which included a house salad and a side dish of pasta. Saw Utica greens on the appetizers and couldn't resist. They were fantastic. You can get them mild medium or hot. Medium it was. Strongly recommend these if you are a fan of Utica greens. Prepared to perfection. As the eggplant approached the table I was impressed how large of a serving it was. So big I couldn't eat the whole thing. The eggplant was outstanding. It was thinly sliced. It melts in your mouth. It's smothered in their red marinara sauce. The sauce is on the sweet side, which is how I prefer. Excellent! With the à la cart meal, you get a choice of a side dish. Being a big fan of Angel hair pasta, the decision was an easy one. About the side salad, it's a good size salad to accompany your dinner. A lot of fresh veggies, carrots, red cabbage, tomatoes, and olives. A sign of a good restaurant is one you'll go back to. We will be back.
