Yard

Came to Baltimore to check out the new Jamaican restaurant that has been all over socials. From the door, the owner was very friendly and welcoming. We were seated in the front with the music, ended up chatting with other customers expressing our pleasure with our meals. Here's what I loved:- Yard Wings- Scotch Kissed Brussels- Escovitch Snapper- Bigga Oxtail Meal- NEW Rum Cake with Mango SorbetMake the reservation or have it to-go, you choose.

Had to chance to check out this amazing restaurant and let me just say Service was excellent! I had a great time talking with the owners and hearing their story on starting this new restaurant that opened 3 months ago. Ambiance was very nice. It is a well lit restaurant with very cute cozy decor. They also have a private space in the back of the restaurant available for private events. Most importantly the food!!! It was veryyyyy good! My faves were the island street corn, run down snapper and the rum wings. The snapper was covered in a some kind of coconut sauce and it was very delicious. Yard has a nice spin on Caribbean cuisine which makes them stand out from other Caribbean restaurants which only offer more traditional dishes. They are also BYOB so take wine when you go

Yard in Federal Hill attracts you with its fresh, vibrant and energetic vibe and charming staff--even the chef greeted us when we came in. I ordered the oxtail with cabbage and rice and peas and the scotch kissed brussel sprouts. The portions are ample which, for the price point, you'd hope for. Other Jamaican spots could take note. The highlight were the brussel sprouts which were flash fried but still felt healthier than other fried brussels I've had. The oxtail was pretty good though I didn't love the sauce. I'd be curious to try their other options though.The owner, Najee, was extremely friendly and approachable as he waited on us, despite obviously being busy with carryout orders as well.Overall, Yard is a great new spot in the area, and I'd definitely come back for the flavorful food and warm atmosphere. 8/10

The music and vibe is great. The macaroni pie had just the right amount of cheese. Also that red snapper is delicious. I wish I could give this place 4.5 stars out of 5... my only con is that the shrimp in the curry pot was very salty. The curry sauce itself was fine but it seems likeThe shrimp is pre seasoned before mixing in with the curry pot seasoning. Which is fine but the saltiness of the shrimp was a bit much.

Went here a few weeks ago, and although the food was very good the vibes were very indicative of an authentic jamaican restaurant. The music was loud and they didn't have many of the menu items available! The server was nice but we hoped the experience would be better! Will give it another try soon and follow up :)

The food was so amazing I forgot to take pictures. I will definitely be back to try everything on the menu. The service was amazing! The ambiance was everything. I had the rundown snapper....everyone at the table tried it and love it too.

Food was great , i would recommend anytime in baltimore 10/10 i got the yard bird & beef patty was all delicious

Went for a birthday celebration. The restaurant was bright, vibrant, and very inviting. When you first walk in you are greeted by the chefs open kitchen. We got the brussel sprouts for an appetizer. They were amazing.Our entrees were full of flavor and huge portions. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back. Thank you for great service and great food

We heard great things and couldnt wait to try this new restaurant. Yard Caribbean restaurant on Charles St = 10/10. We got the jerk chicken Yard Bird, ox tails, scotch kissed Brussels and a meat pie. The sides are so good. Such great flavors. They are tucked into 1026 S Charles St. between Nobles and the shoe store. Check them out!

The food was very delicious. You could tell that the cook put a lot of effort into preparing the meals. I had the mushroom jerk meal. Next time I'm going to try the veggie patties.
