What People Are Saying About Stockyard Restaurant
The Editor
Eric Grossman
Citysearch
The Scene – Since 1972, carnivorous couples and famished families have stampeded to this local favorite just off the Mass Pike. The comfy steakhouse atmosphere hasn't changed much since then, which is just fine with the restaurant's many regulars. A young, mostly female waitstaff does an effective job of explaining the different cuts of meat available. – – The Food – In-house butchers carve hearty porterhouses and tender filet mignons from the finest aged Angus beef available, yielding steak of comparable quality to that served in the city's swankiest chophouses.

Great Value
by nunesie23
I really enjoy The Stockyard. The food is good, the prices are right and the portions are big. The atmosphere is very enjoyable as well. I have had a few experiences with the service being slow.

Delicious Prime Rib
by boston96
I love the Stockyard. I went with my girlfriend one night and while we were waiting to be seated, we had a few drinks at the bar and some appetizers. The bartender was a really cool, funny guy and the clam chowder was really good. When we were seated, I ordered the prime rib, my girlfriend got the filet mignon. Her filet was cooked perfectly and she really enjoyed it. My prime rib was fantastic; it was huge and cooked perfectly. It was so good that I was literally laughing as I ate it. I will definitely visit again soon; great meats.
- Pros: Quality, service, parking, decor
- Cons: None really

unbeatable for the price
by capm
the stockyard can grow on you and become your favorite restaurant in boston. one reason is that it has the friendliest and the best bartenders in boston. what a great crew. second the food. the prime rib and filet mignon simply can't be beat for the price. you have to pay twice at least for the same quality in the upscale steakhouses in boston and you will get half the quality anywhere else for the stockyard price. i don't believe how good the steaks are. the burgers are a great deal. the sliders are to die for. the lobster pie (and lobster roll) are special. my mother has had her share of lobster pies in boston and claims that the stockyard's are the best. but a word of caution. this is a restaurant that is also something of a sports bar. it is not a great romantic restaurant. the prices are great but that means you can't expect table hote service. you are getting a great deal but that's the tradeoff. this is a place for people who care about getting their money's worth; its not the expense account crowd. so there are real bostonians here or really smart tourists. its hard to have a bad meal. a lot of items are terrific like the baby back ribs. get extra sauce.
- Pros: best value for the money anywhere
- Cons: not romantic, not expense account service
