| - Be prepared to stuff yourself. We were excited to try The Yard at the Galleria. We arrived on a Sunday evening and they had a 20 minute wait which was fine because they have an area for you to sit and order drinks & appetizers (aside from the bar).
The atmosphere inside is super cool. An industrial yet inviting feel. I would love to come back here for Happy Hour during a Pens game to watch on one of their many TVs. Every server in the restaurant was amazing as well! Very helpful and friendly. I would give 5 stars if I could stop here.
We had an appetizer of Buffalo Chip Dip which was delicious and a great portion. You can get pita or chips. It's a little spicy, but we like that!
Now onto the main dish. Obviously we all got grilled cheeses because that is what we are here for! Each grilled cheese comes with tomato soup and a side (potato chips, fresh fries, Mac n cheese, tater tots, onion rings). It is cool because you have different seasoning options for the sides too. We each got a different side and they were so good! My Mac n cheese was amazing.
However, the Grilled Cheeses were unfortunately not good. Mine had 3 layers of cheese and was just a hard brick of cheese. The bread was greasy and made my stomach hurt immediately. The sandwiches were just too large to even be able to enjoy. If you are into greasy, messy, hard sandwiches, then you will enjoy this. I will say they have a TON of different options for Grilled Cheeses with chicken, pork, and vegetarian. The tomato soup also lacked flavor and was not thick enough for me.
Honestly if this was not a grilled cheese joint I would give 4, maybe even 5 stars. But I cannot get over how unappetizing all 4 of our grilled cheeses were. I will definitely be back for the atmosphere, service and apps. However, I do not see myself trying a Grilled Cheese again.
