The Yard is an Owen Sound smokehouse built around applewood pulled pork, hickory brisket, jerk chicken tacos, burgers, ribs, and poutine. A stockyard name, Bean Cellar dessert thread, local beef sourcing, and mural-lined room give the restaurant more local character than a standard barbecue pub.

Elsie's Diner is a 1950s-themed Owen Sound diner with a family-origin story, all-day breakfast energy, burger names that stay on theme, and comfort plates built for full meals rather than quick bites.
