Finally got to dine here on a gorgeous summer night. Started off, ordering the Duroc pork chop., but it wasn't available so I switched to the Wagyu beef burger, and what a treat that was! Got to meet the manager, Shannon, who was just delightful! She was so welcoming informative as was our waiter Vaughn, (hope I'm spelling that correctly) he was so delightful and pleasant and an excellent server! He explained everything to a T and gave us great recommendations, which we really appreciated! It was a very relaxing and delightful dining experience over all!

I honestly had no idea The Yard existed as my previous visits to Iron Horse were not during patio season. Let me tell you - this is an impressive patio space!First, it's really big with plenty of casual lounge groupings - perfect for groups of all sizes. Second, it's mostly covered so even if it's a bit drizzly you can still enjoy the outdoors. Third - gorgeous plants everywhere. They've done a great job of creating divisions with plants and furniture where you feel like spaces are semi private. Outdoor TV's and heaters make this a great place to watch a game. Can you tell I really love the design here? Anyway, we stopped during the break between a wedding ceremony and receiption for a few libations. As you might expect, there's a nice cocktail list, plenty of beer options and some very drinkable wine. I was pleased to see a French sparkling at $12, but displeased that my drink was served in a crappy plastic cup and was flat. I get the need for plastic on a patio but you need to do better - there are plastic options that look nicer. (They had VCP by the glass at $22 and I wouldn't have been happy getting that in a solo cup for sure).We did grab a few snacks too - fabulous Clock Shadow curds and homemade chips & dip. Both were really good & something I'd get again. Service was pleasant but probably shouldn't have served me flat champagne. Overall, the space is a winner & I'd go back!

We had such an awesome time at The Yard! We went to celebrate a friend getting a new job and we're able to get in just fine on a weekday with plenty of empty tables and couches on the patio.We decided to do light appetizers and drinks. The environment is great. The patio has tons of plants and there is an awesome aesthetic. The service was great and our food came out fairly quickly. It would be a great spot for a date night or a girls night! Definitely can accommodate large groups with the big couches.

Driving around looking for a new place to try breakfast and came across this place. It's interesting. Yes, it's called the yard but we didn't realize seating was outside, so be prepared for that in case you didn't know as it was a bit chilly when we went. They had a DJ playing around 11 on a Sunday, music is fine but we were seated right next to him so it was way too loud and who wants to hear upbeat almost club like songs at 11am?Menu is very limited so we both just went with the seasonal omelette. By seasonal all it meant was spinach, cheese, and onions. How is that seasonal? Sounds like an omelette you would make whenever or at home, nothing special about it. It comes with fingerling potatoes which were good and your choice of sourdough or English muffin. Just two choices? Doesn't seem like much to offer. My boyfriend also got a Bloody Mary which tasted pretty good and had a little bit of a kick. Overall, I don't see myself going back there unless I was staying at the hotel. It's definitely not a bad place to eat breakfast there's just not anything special about it.

We loved this place! FANTASTIC outside covered and uncovered patio area with great furniture able to accommodate both small and large groups. So cool looking and comfortable. Dogs are welcome! There are even water bowls for them! And if you like cheese curds, these are the best!!! Omg! My fam unanimously agreed on that! We also ordered the Wisconsin salad (yum) and buffalo wings. Everyone was happy, service was great, food was pretty tasty, and the ambience was amazing! We will definitely drive across the border to come back to this Milwaukee establishment! Perhaps we will even stay at the hotel.

My fiancé brought me here for a date night yesterday, and the vibe of this place is ADORABLE! They had lots of seating, and I am a big plant lady, and they had tons of plants outside. It felt like a like a mini getaway. The cheese curds were some of the best curds I've ever had!! The calamari was disappointing over cooked and rubbery. Overall, this is a great spot for a little date night.

Finding places with good outdoor options is tricky enough in Milwaukee without the Roro virus throwing everything into chaos, so when some friends suggested The Yard we were a bit apprehensive. However, it turns out we had no reason to be, it was fantastic!First, service was impeccable. Taylor was attentive, patient with some of the more high-maintenance members of the dining party, and observant, picking up on a couple of birthdays in the group and surprising us with a decadent, amazing brownie ice cream sundae (really, it's the thing that dreams are made of--so good I didn't even get a picture of it!) at the end of the meal.The food was just as good as the service. The menu is not expansive, but to me that's the mark of a chef who knows their stuff--more dishes means more ingredients which can lead to more waste. Pick things that you can focus on and do them well, and that's what The Yard does. The English Muffin samich was fantastic! I was worried that the sausage would be spicy but it was quite flavorful without causing my stomach to protest later on in the day. And I am not a fan of potatoes, but these suckers were outstanding, slathered in a gravy that I would consider eating all by itself and featuring a level of crispiness that was heavenly.Can't wait to go back!

Atmosphere is exactly why you go here in the summer. Cute fireplaces and couches and areas to hang with a group or even with just for couples. Drinks are amazing and the waitress was soo patient and helpful when we needed to decide on what to eat and drink. The turkey BLT was amazing with the Avo Mayo.

I love the yard for their sunny atmosphere, yummy affordable food and dog friendly environment. Get their bottomless mimosas, you will not regret it.

Classy good food. I had some great carrots and chicken. And Miller Time. Oh my. I can't review the service because it was a catered event with a buffet, but everyone was super friendly.
