"The Yard is a food cart pod on the far east side of the city, and one of the best options for grab-and-go food if you’re coming from or heading to points east, including the Oregon Garden, Silverton, and Silver Falls State Park. It’s anchored by a massive indoor space with a bar, coffee counter, indoor restrooms, and loads of communal seating. Carts line either side of the space and, on nice days, the massive garage-style windows roll up. Go for soul food from Jojo’s Soul Food and Memphis Barbecue, heavy-on-the-toppings pies from Stone Yard Pizza, drippy cheesesteaks at Eddy’s Phillys, or Indian favorites from Spicee Bite." - Emily Teel
