Reviews for The Yard in Newark, NJ
I've been wanting to stop by The Yard for weeks. Finally got the opportunity to go last night. It was a toss up between the... oxtail burger and the shrimp burger. I don't eat a lot meat especially beef so I chose the shrimp burger. Awesome choice. It'sreally all shrimp no fillers. It's perfectly seasoned. Great toppings, I got grilled onions, and love the garlic brioche bun. My pictures don't do it justice...just go and check them out! The oxtail burger is next. Gotta make exceptions sometimes forawesome food and great customer service. And as a Newark native, I love supporting great restaurants/businesses! Read more

DELICIOUS! I literally just finished my food. This was my first time ordering from this restaurant and the food was great. I... ordered for my mother and myself, she got the Shrimp Burger with Sweet potato tots and I got the Oxtail Burger with fries and wegot The Chopped Thigh (jerk chicken on roti) to share. Ugh everything was great! The shrimp burger was well seasoned and fresh,the oxtail burger was juicy oh and I can?t forget the toppings because those pickles were the perfect crunch and the tomatoeswere fresh normally I don?t like tomatoes but these were good. And The Chopped Thigh was fantastic, well seasoned flavorful andthe roti was soft and warm. Also, get the Walla Sauce it?s perfect for the fries. I got my food for take out service was fast,the employees were kind and welcoming and I will most definitely be coming back! Read more
My rating is a 4.5. Came here for a last minute after work happy hour and food. Only to find out there are no alcoholic... beverages here, but the food was good. I actually saw a review of this spot on Facebook the day prior of their shrimp and oxtailburger. Both looked amazing. I decided on the grilled jerk thigh in a wrap and sweet potato tots, since I was watching thecarbs. The other person ordered the shrimp patty with fries and my goodness, I see why the shrimp is a winner. I tried a smallpiece and it was probably the best shrimp burger I've ever had. It was all shrimp and very little filler. It was like bitinginto a gigantic tiger shrimp. And seasoned deliciously. Notice I didn't say much about my chicken wrap, it was blah. There wassomewhat too many combating flavors, jerk and Indian spices. And it wasn't the spicy jerk flavor I was looking forward to.However, the tots were perfect sweet and crunchy on the outside, soft inside bites. The location is fairly nice and has a dinerfeel. My only reservation was cleanliness of the place. It could use some airing out. Definitely returning for the shrimp burgerand oxtail. Owner and staff were friendly. Read more
Me and my husband ordered the oxtail burger and the Jerk Chicken Thigh over salad, with hand cut fries and sweet potato totes,... both were just amazing with full of flavor, like the juicy meat and texture of everything mixed exploded in your mouth! Give alltheir sauces a try, especially the yaya sauce. Will be back for other dishes 100%. Read more

Really cute restaurant right in the nice park by the performing arts center. I came here on a beautiful day before a show. The... line to order was a bit long and took awhile but the food was made very quickly. The staff are all so friendly and are quick toget you extra sauce (at no extra cost!) Or anything you need. They have tables and chairs outside too. When we were there, therewas a huge party, looks they brought some of their own food and drinks as well and were blasting music. Though I liked the musicso wasn't bothered. I got the oxtail burger. I really enjoyed it. It was a bit messy with sauce oozing out. But the Masalasauce they put on it is really good. The pickles add a nice crunch. I wish it was a bit bigger than 6oz. I like half poundburgers. $15 for the burger or $18 if you want fries. I got the hand cut fries and they were also very good. I dipped them inwalla sauce which is their house sauce and it tasted like honey mustard. Which i like. I will definitely come back if I'm inthe area. Great prices, great location and quick to serve you the food! Read more
I don't get to this area often and couldn't choose between oxtail and shrimp. I got both. I'm so glad I did! You can taste both... the oxtail and the beef. The edges are nicely charred. The sauce is amazing. The shrimp burger is all shrimp no filler. If I'mever in the area again, I will be back. Update!! Nov 4th 4pm, I made it back to the area a few weeks later. I showed up againto order my oxtail burger and shrimp burger and they remembered me and said welcome back. Wonderful customer service. Greatfood. I can't wait to try to jerk chicken and roti!!
