The Stockyard Restaurant

The Stockyard is a steakhouse on Market Street in Brighton, with seafood and American dishes alongside the steaks. The room has a tavern feel and a fireplace, making it a place for a seated dinner rather than a quick counter order. Free parking is a practical advantage here, especially if you’re meeting people arriving from different parts of the area.

The restaurant takes reservations, offers pickup and has space for private events. It opens in the afternoon Monday through Wednesday and at noon Thursday through Sunday, so check the day before planning lunch. There are separate brunch, dessert and wine menus to look through. One payment detail to know before leaving home: the restaurant says it accepts major credit cards but not Apple Pay.
