The Yard McKinney TX

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.

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!

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.

Sunday night 9pmish still had a good amount of people out on dates, eating with family, and more. Chill indoor outdoor place, upbeat funky jams, lively outdoor terrace space. Great for pups, and small to larger groups. $5-$7 for 16oz Cold Draft Beer!!

The outdoor place is fun with different leveled areas. Love love the design of the outdoor space! The many aged trees within the patio space really makes the outdoor vibe. Theres lots of heat lamps around, and shade from either umbrellas or trees.

Beer cups are plastic. Must mean this place can get pretty crowded and rowdy? Fun place. It is less about a mile/22min stroll from Hutchin’s BBQ. We ate bbq, and strolled off our food to Historic Downtown McKinney…full of a variety of shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Almost everything was closed on a Sunday 9pmish though.

They seem to have weekly events too like Tuesday Bingo Music night.

Love that you can join online for the waitlist. Very fun atmosphere indoor or out. Loved the chips and queso. The iced tea was refreshing. Husband said the club was good. I got the vegan black bean burger, I failed to realize it was lettuce wrapped the waiter was super nice to bring me a bun. I had also asked for cheese and a different sauce on my burger, however it didn’t have cheese or any sauce on it. We tried to flag him down for a while, but couldn’t find our waiter so I just decided to use my leftover queso- It was fabulous that way though so it’s ok. The Caesar salad was not super great, but it’s not exactly a place you go to expecting a salad. 😅 We’d go back.
