The hubby and I were in Shady Side to exchange something from Christmas and couldn't decide on a place for lunch. We chose The Yard because it was close to where we parked (and what we originally decided on was closed until 4) When we got inside they were busier than expected, I think the Bloody Mary bar was drawing everyone in! It was 11 am and the music was very loud, but it was nothing we couldn't tune out. We waited a while after we sat down before our waitress came over. She wasn't the friendliest but we just wanted a quick lunch so no huge deal. The waiter serving the next table was playing trivia with his table and it kept us entertained, as well.
He got: The Mike Byson Burger and chips. He enjoyed it but he asked for medium well and it came out still mooing? grunting? whatever Byson's do... however he still ate it and it filled him up.
I got: Holla Holla French Toast with Bananas. There were two huge pieces and it was good. Nothing spectacular but hey, french toast is french toast and it hit the spot.
Overall, it's probably no somewhere I would stop again, since there are so many other options in the area but the experience wasn't terrible either.
