I love southern cooking and Mexican food. So this seemed like a great solution…read more 1st- I had water & chicken quesadilla. It was fine. Nothing special. But very average. Had chips and salsa. Good flavor in salsa but very spicy hot! 2nd visit- I had water & the Pinto Beans & Cornbread at $6.95 on the menu. It came with cheese, onions and jalapeño peppers. Pretty good flavor. Not a southern type I'm used to. But for $6.95, it was fine. Big Problem: when I went to pay, I was charged $9.69. When I asked about this I was told there was an increase in price but the new menus had not come in. WHAT? That's not only deceptive but illegal! B-law 101. The sweet woman said all the regular customers were aware of this. I will not ever go back. Average food, run down booth & very deceptive practices.

We ordered the Cowboy Feast. It came with a 33 oz Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeye, an 8 oz garlic stuffed…read morefilet, a 12 oz New York strip, and mesquite grilled Gulf shrimp. For sides, I chose the mac and cheese, cornbread, tallow fries, and Brussels sprouts. This is the kind of meal you remember for a while. The Wagyu tomahawk ribeye was the star of the table. Tender, flavorful, and packed with that rich beefy taste you'd expect from a steak of that caliber. The garlic stuffed filet was incredibly tender and added another layer of flavor, while the New York strip had a great texture and a perfect mesquite grilled finish. The Gulf shrimp were cooked well and added a nice contrast to all the steak. Smoky, juicy, and full of flavor. The sides were excellent across the board. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, the cornbread was warm and comforting, the tallow fries were crispy and addictive, and the Brussels sprouts provided a nice balance to the feast. The restaurant itself has a true Texas atmosphere with a rustic upscale feel. Service was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel special. This wasn't just dinner. It felt like a Texas steakhouse experience from start to finish. Definitely one of the most memorable meals I've had in the Dallas area.

I would not go back to this place even if they offered a 200$ credit!…read more Not sure what happened to this place over the last 5 years (maybe covid?), but we use to love The Ranch. Burger had absolutely no flavor to the meat, chicken fried steak was a thin slice like you would see in a small diner and bland! corn bread had absolutely no hint of "corn bread flavor". The ribs tasted ok but they were average at best. Very overpriced, average food now. Stood at the bar for 5 min being ignored by the bartender even after we made eye contact several times and he knew I had a question (not busy at all). Instead he continued to talk to the couple in front of him and straight up dismissed my presence. I Finally walked over directly in front of the bar tender and asked for a price menu. They had a great selection but everything was marked up 200% on a pour, and that's 200% on TOP of what most restaurants already mark up. It's a shame. Not sure if it's under new management or what but that was a terrible experience Whiskey cake is way better, food is better, all the staff is amazing and their drinks are fairly priced!

Overall, a fun spot with solid food, friendly energy, and a dessert that knows exactly how to steal the show.

The young man who answered the phone was very kind and ensured he had my order correct. Even verified I was ok with paying over the phone before he took my order. I arrived about 15 minutes later and once inside the cashier called for my order number then requested to see the card I paid with and my ID. In today's world it's comforting to know there are businesses verifying identity! Kudos!! Once seated at home I opened my container to hot fried catfish, tomatoes and okra, Mac n cheese and hot water cornbread. My first bite of everything was very good and seasoned to perfection. I got so full so quick that I wasn't able to finish but it made for perfect leftovers later that day. On to the desserts! My mom got a slice of pecan pie and I enjoyed the strawberry cake. Both were tasty and prepared perfectly! I will stop in again for fried pork chops when it's time for an off plan meal.

Although they could only accommodate 20 guests, the staff went above and beyond by allowing our additional guests to make separate reservations and strategically seating everyone near our main party. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. The hostess was incredibly understanding and accommodating, even seating our party a little earlier after I explained that we needed to be seated before my son entered with his soon-to-be fiancée. Their kindness and professionalism truly meant a lot to us. Our waitress handled everything with grace and composure, even while clearly managing a very busy evening. She did a phenomenal job, and everyone in our party was satisfied with both the service and the food. Excellent service, amazing atmosphere, and an unforgettable experience overall. If we ever host another special event, Yardbird will absolutely be at the top of our list!

Upon arrival, we were quickly greeted by the hostess and seated without a wait. Within no time, the server arrived with water and gave us time to look over the menu. It is a relatively large menu with lots of options so I appreciated the extra time. For my entree, I decided to go with the Grilled Blackened Catfish which came with a bed of dirty rice and a salad. While waiting for our food, the server brought out a basket of bread rolls which were very tasty. After a relatively short wait, our food was delivered. While the catfish was not as blackened as I prefer, it was flavorful. My friend ordered the chicken fried steak and he thoroughly enjoyed it. That entree comes with 3 sides and give the size of the chicken fried steak, it makes for a lot of food. When it comes to service, everyone was friendly and welcoming which I aalways appreciated. The space is fairly large and seating consists of table/chair combos along with several booths. Additionally, there is a bar area in the back of the restaurant with seating. Based on what I could see, the bar appeared to be fully stocked. There are also a few TVs in the bar area. Overall, I was pleased with my first visit here and will definitely return to try other things on the menu.

It has been on my list to try for a while, so we finally stopped in on a lazy Sunday. It was not crowded at all. We ordered the chicken po boy to split, along with fries and a side salad (for my healthy hubby - but maybe the blue cheese dressing negates the healthy??). The sandwich was HUGE (as my husband likes to say "quantity is a quality all on its own"). I was very glad we spilt it. That said, I could easily be convinced the chicken was a frozen patty, since there was nothing particularly special about it. The fries looked so promising and homemade with that brown patina (think Five Guys), which had me excited, but they ended up flabby and not very hot, insert sad face. All in all, it is another DFW spot I am glad I tried once, but I do not feel the need to go back.
