The Yard McKinney TX

"The food was very good, got the backyard burrito bowl, it was amazing! The place was packed and it was a little loud. Waited over 40 minutes to be seated but the food was worth it! There was many seating areas inside and out! There was many good food options and very accommodating! The wait for our food was over 30 minutes but Our server was super nice helpful and on top of his job! Definitely recommended and will definitely be coming back!"

"Loved the atmosphere! Canopy of trees, different levels of seatings and better yet, dog friendly. We liked to sit at the top level. Eating, drinking and people watching on a nice weather day. One wouldn't realize you're actually in the middle of Historic Downtown McKinney surrounded by buildings. Food was always good, liked their drinks as well. Service never disappoints. Highly recommend."

"Visited on a Saturday at 4pm and had about 10 minute wait for an outside table. As the evening went on it got much busier. Staff was great and super friendly ... even when we came in the back door and had to be redirected to the hostess station! Atmosphere, decor and ambiance are very fun. You can sit inside, outside and at a bar type area. Folks outside can bring their dog ... so you can watch people or dogs. We had a the catfish and shrimp platter and the backyard burrito bowl. Both dishes were tasty ... the catfish was lightly breaded and flaky and the brisket on the burrito bowl was well seasoned. The chips and queso had a great flavor too."

"First time visiting, quite busy on a Saturday - we sat inside as that was the first table to become available. The outside is lovely and the inside is homey. The backyard punch was tasty! My salad was great, although not much goats cheese - as you can see from the pictures. My daughter had the Mac and cheese. It tasted alright. The waffle fries are quite over done - definitely a crunchy frie. My husband was not impressed with his burger - $14 for a mediocre size burger Patty with waffle fries that were overcooked. He actually said he thinks whataburger did a better burger and that's the last place we would go!!"

"Really fun spot for outdoor seating and ambiance. Lots of TVs outside if you want to watch sports. The food is average, drinks are great, and the vibe is great! Great place for families."
