Nice to see the old yardhouse space refreshed. This spot is promising but needs a few tweaks.
Ordered cocktails and they came promptly. Between two of us we tried the following during the meal:
Raisin rummy - easy to drink, vanilla notes, incredible aroma.
Old Besse - spicy with Ginger, fruity.
Black walnut Manhattan - my fave of the four, sweet aroma, medium bodied sipping cocktail. So much flavor.
Vonnegut - spicy, citrus, delicious.
Cocktails here are great and having been to parlor in the area I'd say this place is going to them a run for their money.
Food was pretty good but the prices here are all over the map. You can add cornbread to any order for $1.00 and it's delicious and muffin sized. For an appy we ordered the hush puppies which were $12.00 and classified under the "Trays" section of the menu. When they came out they were on a tray but in the tiniest basket and we got 8. We asked our waitress before we ate them if we had actually received what we thought we had ordered and asked if it was actually $12.00 and the waitress said yes and then kind of just looked at her notepad and didn't say much else. Quite honestly this is likely the most overpriced item I've ever ordered at a restaurant. I wouldn't even pay $12.00 for what we got if you told me it was made with locally sourced non-gmo organic corn and Broek pork. This price point has to change. It's insane. Would be much fairer at $6.00.
We saw a tray of chicken wings go out and there had to have been at least 10 wings on the tray and that was only $1.00 more than the hush puppies.
We also got the pulled chicken sandwich $10.00, and the 1/2 pound pulled pork $10, and the broccoli salad $4.00. All of that seemed a reasonable price to pay. Service was good but for the reaction to our question about the appy.
We also so the chips and queso head to another table and I'm pretty sure the menu had that listed as $13.00. I would say for what I saw that also seemed very overpriced.
Place has potential but it's getting a 3/5 for the major pricing issues on the menu. I'm hesitant to order anything else from the Trays menu. You'd be fine though if you ordered meat and sides and corn bread.
