About

The Yard is the epitome of BLACK & FUN! We have taken the act of freedom and put it in restaurant form, drawing inspiration for our dishes from throughout the African Diaspora: Africa herself, the Caribbean, Asia, and of course throughout America. Paying homage, in ways that are fun for your palette, spirit, and your soul. Where ever people are, need to be, and want to be, we desire to be free and ourselves, expressively, undeniably, and unapologetically JOYOUS!
