This was actually a quick snacking decision to eat here. It looked like a fun atmosphere, lots of people were chatting about, there were some games outside that people were playing plus it was right on the boardwalk at night.the food was not great but it was just a burger even though the fries were on the oily side though. I liked the grilled name of the place on the bun, makes the burger look fancy! The service was ok but it did take rather long just to put the order in, which I think they should have at least offered the drinks right away. Not sure if I would go back, but again it was just for a snack. The atmosphere makes this a viable snacking/bar option.

Went on a Sunday evening and while there were few people seated, took a while to be shown a table. Asked for it to be wiped down but was ignored. Heard the loud protests from the wait staff that the hostess shouldn’t have seated us where she did so we felt a little uncomfortable. We were handed the regular menus but when we tried to order meals, we were then told the only reason we were given the larger menu was for the cocktails choices… only the smaller menu options were available. After perusing, tried to order pizza but was told it wasn’t an option. Third try at ordering was a success. Soft drinks were served in plastic cups – free refills provided on the sodas, not lemonade. The smash burger was just 2 squares of hamburger, a slice of cheese and some sauce. Nothing special and not a do over for the price. The Yard salad included two little pieces of halloumi cheese and 2 pieces of avocado – it was delicious. Wings were good and very saucy. Once the food was received, we were looking for the truffle tater tots we’d ordered. We were eventually told they weren’t available but not to worry, they would be taken off our bill. I’m sure it’s a very happening place when there’s live music, and dinner menu looked promising.

I don’t know why this place is rated so low? Great place to eat!!! Good wine, fun atmosphere and good music and delicious food!!! We loved it!! The also had a pretty broad menu with lots of seafood selections. They have games to play and enough screens to watch whatever sports you like. Great place, if you’re staying at Bally’s I would advise you to try it out!

Love the atmosphere. The music and drinks were good. The food was good too but took almost an hour to come out so it was barely warm. Maybe they were short staffed. I’d give it another try!

One of the worst dining experiences I have had in a very long time. Service was painfully slow- 2 1/2 hours for drinks and a snack.
Unbussed tables all around us. Other folks were getting up and walking out –15 minutes before we even saw our server, and it got worse from there. It wasn’t even crowded with several empty tables.
Food ok, DJ ok, a band that was setting up for 2 hours, played “Footloose” and then left. Still not on by 9:30 on a Sat nite.
Epic fail, Ballys

We are currently staying at the Bally’s Casino. The room is really nice and clean. We were looking forward to watching the Futbol game at the Yard. The food was a total dissapointment…I ordered a Ceasar Salad and shrimp and the lettuce was wilted not crispy the shrimp that is supposed to be grilled was cold and overcooked. I could have done a better job with a Dole Salad bag from Shoprite. My husband ordered the Cheese burger in a brioche bun. It was good he was drinking beer. I had a Mocktail it was okay. It was nothing to enjoy. We saw a lot of food leftover on the tables by other guests. The service was horrible. The Yard had only two waiters at around 4 pm. We sat down and we waved at the waitress and rather than coming to us and telling us we needed to be seated by the hostess first then order with her, she completely ignored us twice for at least 12 mins. The bar tender were all in a group behind the counter doing I don’t know what. My husband asked one of them if we could watch the Jet Game on one of the screens you would think he would set the audio so we could hear the game. There was no attention to detail. I could have gotten better food somewhere else. Don’t go to the Yard is not a big deal. We saw videos in YouTube and is nothing like they describe. Thanks God we are leaving tomorrow.

Popular and busy, but the hostess, Robin was a sweetheart & she got my party of 3 seated in about 5 minutes. The server was friendly and the food (cheesesteak egg rolls, buffalo wings, and cheese burger and chicken sandwich platters) was delicious. There was a little wait on the food & it could have been a bit hotter, but the service was GREAT A really hardworking crew. The drinks and beer was chilled & tasty! We loved the atmosphere of the restaurant and we will definitely return on my next trip to Atlantic City.

Very cool sports bar within Bally’s AC casino! There’s plenty of outside seating during warmer weather and the inside seating is nicely spaced so you’re not too close to other patrons. The food is tasty and on-trend with popular bar food flavors like truffle fries, smash burgers, etc. Plenty of local craft beers along with the usual brands, and there are a few games to play. Lots of TVs and a very large one in the middle of the room. Our server was great and even gave us some complimentary tots .

Nice and modern restaurant bar. With an outside seating area (currently with live music – bluesy). There’s a covered bar area that is huge (pictures below) with a massive bar and shaded from the scorching sun, yet allows for the ocean breeze to come through and roll off your back. My mocktail (watermelon, Cucumber, lime and ginger beer) is to die for($6 versus the $4 soda). The food was ok. The pickle was homemade and delicious. Service was good but slow, although not the waitresses fault. She had a lot of tables.

We were there before the live music started, so the place wasn’t very crowded. We like the layout. The drinks were good. The food was OK. The service was slow. There’s a lot of energy when a band is playing.
