Tucked away, this was a fun find. It was a warm day for an outdoor venue, but they had the misters going, and there were plenty of shaded options. Bar seating up front, live music courtyard in the back, and we sat in the middle passageway between the two. The tots were fabulous. Really liked that they offered Cali Creamin'. We plan to return.

Side Yard has delicious food that is hard to find in our area! I got their Cluck Norris sandwich and it was perfectly crispy, crunchy with pickles and cabbage slaw, and spicy with a bit of cool down from ranch dressing. We also ordered a side of truffle fries and they were the most perfect fries I've had in a long time. The owner was super friendly and the restaurant had a cool vibe. We'll definitely go back!

The draft list is well-curated and top notch. The menu isn't particularly expansive, but the food is very good from top to bottom. Atmosphere is laid-back and clean, with all facilities maintained. I look forward to coming back!

Went here for a quick bite after a round of golf at Boulder oaks, at first glance all we saw was the misters due to the heat lol. This place is very nice I like the set up and the beer selection was very good, the atmosphere was very welcoming, the service was friendly and fast. The food was very good, everything is a la carte though so keep that in mind. Probs are pretty big example one order of fries feeds 2-3 people. I would definitely go back and recommend.

Went here for lunch because of the reviews. It did not disappoint. Love the ambiance and self serve of water and condiments. You order at the bar and they give you a number. It’s open seating and they allow pups on the patio. A little expensive but the food was worth it!
