I heartily suggest this location. Particularly following a performance at the NJPAC theater, the staff here provided excellent service. The tiny eating area was compensated for by the excellent service and careful attention to their patrons. The food was excellent, the sauces are delicious, and the burgers are outstanding. Cauliflower tots are equally delicious. quite open about what they have …

If you’re seeing a show at the NJ Performing Arts Center and are looking for a bite, this is the place. Even if you aren’t seeing a show and are nearby, this is the place. I grabbed their chicken sausage roll before a show. It was so good I had to come back again after—to my memory I don’t think …

Had the Fish Fillayyyy with cut-fries, very very tasty. The fish filet sandwich was great and also, that Walla Sauce I was dunking the cut-fries into was SUPER tasty. The staff service was excellent. Very attentive and friendly. Ended up ordering "The Breast" to go and had every intention of having it for dinner but... it's just too damn tasty. …

I think I may jave had the best sandwich/burger I have ever had. Wife and I came to NJ PAC to see Yo Yo Ma perform and decided to eat here before the concert. I think the Yard may have out performed the concert. Will definitely come down here just to eat here again.

Also, they would always come check on us and made sure our drinks were always filled. Superb service! I ordered the seoul sista fried rice. Beautifully plated with a …

Highly recommend this place 100%. The staff here was on top of their service, especially right after a show at the NJPAC theater. Small dining room, but made up for the very nice servers and attentive care they put on their customers. Food was fantastic, sauces are DELISH! Burgers are amazing. Cauliflower tots just as amazing. Very transparent on what …

From the moment we were greeted with "Are you folks gonna hangout with us?" I knew the Yard would be a good choice. There's a good range of dishes all reasonably priced. Service was prompt and friendly. We both went for hot dogs which didn't disappoint. I also had the sweet potato tots which came with a wicked dipping sauce. …
