⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Yard Grille is an absolute gem in Upstate New York! 🌲🦞 The moment we arrived, we were greeted with breathtaking views that set the perfect tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The food? Next level. The lobster was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the crab cakes were perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Don’t even get me started on the crab dip—creamy, rich, and totally addictive 🦀🔥. Every dish was a hit. To top it all off, the staff was amazing—so friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Between the stunning scenery, exceptional service, and unforgettable food, The Yard is a must-visit. Already planning our next trip back!

When the weather is right. The view on the patio is breathtaking. The atmosphere is enhanced as you can watch golfers teeing off while you relax waiting for a table on some Adirondack chairs. Service is excellent. Jared was my waiter today. A young man I have spoken to before. He has a lot of ambition and I see a bright future for him. The hostesses were pleasant and kind. As well as the rest of the staff. Food was excellent and the salad was fresh. Kudos to the chef on the grilled chicken as well. Cooked to perfection!

Great food. Selection of food is a bit limited but enough to satisfy most palates. Views are spectacular.

Great service, great food, great views!! Our server Catherine was very nice and friendly. We ordered the short rib tacos to shared, my husband for the smash burger and I had the filet mignon which was delicious. For dessert I got the strawberry shortcake which was not a shortcake but a homemade biscuit, not my favorite as it had basil oil (my mistake for ordering without asking what it had) but I went for it by the pictures! We would definitely come back!

Delicious food, love the juicy Lucy burger and strawberry short cake is a must at this location, ambience and service is excellent. You can sit outside with a beautiful view enjoying your food. They do have high chairs for kids. Definitely recommend this place.

It’s always nice to dine here on an afternoon when the sun is out. The view of the Green Lakes while eating is a very big plus. It’s not our first time to go here, it looks like they changed their menu. Food taste good and staff is very nice. I had a cocktail last year that I wanted to order again but they changed their cocktail menu too.

Scenic. Pleasant. Tasty. Iced tea, diet soda, Waldorf Salad, and Flatbread (Brie and Apple) are ordered. Our hightop table overlooks the first hole, course, and lakes. It's a perfect table view. Our order arrives in a short time and we have a wonderful meal enjoying the view and watching the golfers tee-off. Music is playing, it's a great atmosphere. The chocolate cake and strawberry shortcake are offered, we declined, looking forward to another time. Having walked here from Green Lakes Park, we continue our walk along the course and down to the lakes. What a great way to wrap up a satisfying lunch. Five stars it is.

Located on the golf course situated above Green Lakes Park, this is a hidden gem (although at times it can be hard to get a seat). If the weather permits, the patio overlooking the lake is your best bet. Both the food and the atmosphere are worth the drive - and yes, that is a pickled egg on that drink!

The spectacular view out over Green Lakes is something no other restaurant in the area can offer. The food is decent. The focaccia appetizer was excellent. My "Juicy Lucy" burger was satisfactory, although the assembly looked a bit haphazard and looked more like a smashburger style patty, which isn't my preference. That said, the burger tasted absolutely fine. Fries were good. The food for the other guests at our table all looked good, and one sandwich in particular the RTJ Club was so large in size it would easily feed two people. Our server, an older woman, was a bit rough around the edges, but did a decent job with service to our table.

Dinner inside noisy, service was admirable as we were a large group and food was tasty. Lunch for two in the deck was more enjoyable, food equally good, service was lacking. The view of the lake and golf course…splendid! All in all a good choice.

As you turn into the south entrance to Green Lakes Park, you drive through a beautiful wooded area containing some of the oldest trees found in Onondaga County. This curvy nature drive ends in an open area with the golf course facilities and restaurant straight ahead and a parking area to the left. The hostess table is outside to the right of the restaurant. When we arrived at 1:00 p.m. on a Thursday in August we were seated immediately, but we learned from our hostess that there's often a waiting list for a table at dinner as they only take reservations for parties of 10 or more. Interestingly, they only seat you inside the restaurant if you request it. Otherwise, they assume you'll want a table on the outdoor patio which overlooks Green Lake and the golf course. We were seated in the shade with a beautiful view and a cool breeze. In most cases when I look at a restaurant's menu for the first time, I only find a few items that sound appealing. However, on my first visit here, I had a difficult time choosing from among many items that sounded delicious. I chose the Waldorf chicken salad sandwich on a round-shaped crescent roll. It was excellent and the kettle chips accompanying it were a nice salty, crunchy counterpoint. My wife chose the turkey club. It was huge and quite impressive looking piled up on the plate. Unfortunately, they were out of chocolate cake for dessert. But probably just as well, because our sandwiches were generous and quite filling.
