The Yard Cafe

This place used to be great! I came here often for years but hadn't been back since Covid. I see in other reviews here that ownership changed, which makes sense now. You'll get an average beer list where you can pay $8.5-$9 for a pint of beer from a local brewery. The tacos are now $8-$12 each and come on cold store-bought tortillas. The chips appear to still be house-made but are stale. The guacamole used to be great but was pretty bad too. The specials had French onion soup and my wife ordered that and it was served in a beer mug. I really wish I took a picture, it was pretty sad but funny. Seriously, even at $5 each these tacos would be insulting. I'm just really disappointed. This was a great spot that I used to enjoy and now there's literally nothing left. There are plenty of other good spots in greenwood, don't bother with the yard. RIP

Used to love this place but not much anymore. They are understaffed. We were there last week, oredered some food and drinks. It took about 30 minutes to get the drinks which was just couple of beers. It was almost impossible to order new drinks also. Food was just meh, no one in our group finished their plates. It was a waste of money for $20 quinoa salad. Apperantly beers were waiting at the bar for a long time since they were warm when the waitress brought them to us. Wouldn't go there again while there are so many places where you can eat good food with proper drinks.

Someone else described this place as being served in someone's back yard with a smile! I couldn't agree more. Although I only had a margarita here and need to return for food, I still had a great experience. My margarita was scrumptious, and not too pricey, and the server was very sweet and attentive. I loved the outdoor area and the indoor area didn't look bad either! This would be a cute spot for a date night or to catch up with friends, and it is within walking distance of a lot of other great spots!

Comfortable neighborhood place. The booths were big, and it was chilly if you weren't sitting right below the heater (and it was 49 degrees out). I was surprised it was a menu keaning to Mexican flavors. I did enjoy my chicken taco salad wrap. Though it had a lot of sauce. Had to eat it with knife and fork. Asked for crispy fries, and they were nice and brown. But still soft and bendy. My friend had a veg bowl, which was actually a plate. Lots of beans, but she seemed to like it. Had good service.

Came here on a whim and it was a very positive experience. Our server checked on us just the right amount and the service was impeccable. The food was great. Perfect blend of flavors and textures. Highly recommend the huevos rancheros! It wasn't too heavy and just really yummy.

This is such a cool little spot. It is like sitting in someones backyard being served delicious food, with a smile. There is seating outside and if you want shade or want to be cooler, you can sit in their shaded "inside" area. The vibe of this place is really great. Awesome menu choices, decent prices for the portions, fast and friendly service in a cool ambiance.My friend and I both had a delicious salad....but it was hard choosing as they had so many items that looked tasty. The couple next to us ordered a plate of fries and man they looked good. I wish we would have ordered some too.All told, we would definitely come back. Strongly suggest stopping in at Cafe Chocolati cafe which shares the same block for a dessert coffee and or truffle.

The food, ambiance and service were great. Very different menu items. A must try at least for the good coffee they serve.

Met a friend here for dinner/drinks. First time back since pre-Covid, and I was honestly a little wary given the recent negative reviews on and off Yelp. Very pleased to report that I still like The Yard every bit as much as before. It was a quiet weekday night, and our server was perfectly attentive and friendly, and our food and drinks were tasty. Looks like their menu's expanded a bit. Still with several vegetarian options. I had the veggie enchiladas, and my friend had a few tacos. There were a couple small kitchen mix-ups, but they were handled appropriately. I look forward to returning.

Visited for the first time last week w/the motivation of drinking Pliny the Younger driving us. First time visit and we loved it for so many reasons. Sat at the bar and had great conversation w/the fun and knowledgeable staff, drank great beer, had delicious food and can't wait to go back! Their menu for both food & beverage is eclectic, which is a win-win for us!

This place used to be good, I thought? Went there for brunch yesterday and got the breakfast platter. Scrambled eggs were a solid, stodgy mound, burned on the bottom; the bacon was scorched and tooth-chippingly hard; stuck my fork in one of the sausages, and (I am not making this up) it broke in two and half of it flew into the air and onto the ground. Our waitress was fine but the little hedgehog of a man that seated us clearly had an attitude problem and was annoyed at every question we asked him, including, "Is this table available?" Eff off, The Yard. You're not that cool.
