Diners rave about the unique dishes like the Butternut Squash Curry and the lively rooftop patio, though some reviews mention inconsistent food quality and occasional service issues.

"What a beauty little Gem the Yard & Flagon is! The staff was awesome and suggested the 7oz Sirloin Steak Sandwich with soup of the day (I believe it was a Curry coconut soup).
One word to describe this meal.....Perfect. Ok, maybe a few more....The steak and the red wine reduction of mushrooms was awesome, very flavorful a definite must. And the soup was a great little side.
Thanks Yard & Flagon."

"This has become one of my favourite restaurants in Saskatoon. I recently went to celebrate my birthday with friends, everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks. I had the steak and it was cooked perfectly! The only thing I would have added is some kind of veg. Our meals arrived fairly fast but took long enough to make it obvious they are prepared to order, which I like. The movie Jurassic Park was on the tv with subtitles, which I loved. Throughout the night there was great music playing too. I also love all the paintings on the walls too."
