The Yard

So I was back in da burg after not less than seven years and was catching up with my best friend, I will just call him Kevin for the sake of this review because that is his name. We are cruising around and looking for something to eat. He suggests we stop by the Galleria, and I am like, "sure, why not?". We walk around for awhile and see what the options are and I see this place called "TheYard". Anyway, Kevin says the place is decent, he tells me they have "burgers and stuff". We get seated immediately and start looking over the menu. Kevin asks if he could get one of the grilled cheeses made into a burger. The waitress informs us there is a whole other burger menu (lunch/brunch menu maybe?)... well this menu has much better looking burgers so ask for this menu! The menu states that all the burgers are cooked though, which I am relieved to see. BURGERS/GROUND MEAT SHOULD NEVER BE PINK IN THE MIDDLE! E. coli O157 will mess you up and could kill you! I keep going to restaurants and getting pink bloody burgers and if I ask for it well done they just hand me a charcoal briquette. I order some spicey burger with jalapeños and some amazing sauce, sadly I don't recall what it was called but it was hands down the best burger I've had in years. It was cooked through but not burnt and still juicy. The waffle fries are amazing as well, though you have to pay more for them :-( . I still do not know why this place wasn't busier on a Friday night. I don't recall the waitresses name but she was great as well. May she read this review and recall the conversation we had about irradiated beef and why not to eat undercooked burgers

First time getting the brunch. Hot honey chicken and waffles were great. Waffles were fluffy with crispy exterior. Chicken had a light breading but were crispy and juicy. The hot honey was light and wasn't overwhelming with the heat. It was very balanced. Could have used a little more of the homemade white cheese sauce but overall was very good. Home fries were excellent too.
