Food/service was super good! However, the promo pop up on the website is extremely misleading. First time here, probably won't go back just because the app doesn't work very well/felt like false advertising. read more

Yardbird Table & Bar - Biscuit & Gravy - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is a solid 3.5. I'm rounding up. I came for the restaurant week lunch menu and I enjoyed it. The wedge salad was simple but delicious. The chicken and waffle was very tasty. The chicken was fried perfectly crispy without being too greasy. The fried oreo was a nice ending as well. The bourbon lemonade seems to have more ade than bourbon but it was tasty. I fell in love with Yardbird in Miami some years ago so I was really excited to see one open here. It's nice but the I still prefer the Miami location. This one feels soo huge. Maybe it's where we were seated. Idk. Anyway, I don't think I would rush to come back though, because the regular prices are kind of outrageous now. Maybe once and a while but definitely not often. Another thing is that they included gratuity for our party of 4. Which means they taxed us for that gratuity included on the bill, as well. Not sure if this is their thing now to automatically include gratuity but just fyi. read more

I had a great experience at Yardbird. The restaurant is beautiful. We were warmly welcomed and seated immediately. Our server was right on with suggestions and very helpful. The charcuterie presentation was out of bounds and delicious. We ordered fried chicken, St. Louis ribs, Mac and cheese and biscuits. All good, not mind blowing. Dessert was butter cake, yummy. One person also tried the pasta, surprisingly very tasty. My one critique is the price point. Very overpriced. I would go back as someone's guest! read more

Service was great. Although the server was a little pushy with tea & soft drinks a few different times when I asked for water. Food was ok. We ordered Chicken & Waffles and the Chicken sandwich with Brussels. Not somewhere I have to run back to. Automatic 20% gratuity was a turn off especially for a table of 2 at dinner. I'm a 20+ tipper anyway, but having it on there regardless made me not add anything more. read more

Everything was great from the service, the atmosphere, and the food. I love this place, the drinks are delicious as well. The lobster Mac and cheese is worth it! read more

Came here on recommendation they had great brunch and it was absolutely true. The grits were amazing! Delicious mimosa's with several fresh juice options. The waitress even took the time to make a mix of strawberry/blackberry and orange juice so could try different options. Both were great. Good ambiance with multiple floors of seating options. Only reason gave less then five stars is because it is a little pricey for brunch especially their cocktails that are on average $20. Will be back when want to splurge especially for the grits though! read more

I'm glad I didn't let the reviews deter me from having my own experience. I went and had a GREAT time! But things also seem to work out for me wherever I go anyways, hahaha! Your vibe DEFINITELY creates your experience. I went late on a Sat, (9ish) not too crowded, I do suggest getting reservations, if you don't want to wait. Lucky me, there was sitting at the bar area. Ambiance beautiful, bar area very nice. The place is PRICEY but the food and service was great! The bartender was personable and awesome, drinks were on point! I will return, have your own experience, hopefully it'll be like mine but unfortunately you can't please everybody. I was happy, highly recommended! read more

Food was very good and out quickly. I went to order a "non-alcoholic " drink and the server asked for my ID? So the menu does lie with those drinks. Service wasn't as good as I would expect, but the food makes up for it. Inside is very enjoyable and a good place to go. read more

Loved this place! Nice lunch, beautiful dining area and excellent attentive service. I got the green goddess salad and added chicken... SO GOOD!!!! read more

Our server Ty was awesome !! Everything he recommended on the menu was well crafted. He even told us about the secret cocktail menu that we can't wait to try when we visit again. We came to the restaurant at 10:15 even though they closed at 10:30 and the ambiance and service was great. A perfect place for a night with the girls !! read more

This was the restaurant my Husband and Daughter took me to after my Graduation and I was more than please, I got the deviled eggs and shared a chicken and waffle platter with my husband and it was great. The service was fast and the waitress was very helpful. The restaurant is clean and beautiful, love the sitting room to have rum or scotch. read more

A great new river north dinner or brunch spot! Food - 5/5 - thoroughly impressed with everything we got. The deviled eggs, Caesar salad, chicken and waffles (that waffle was divine! Chicken crisp and juicy), fried Oreos, and key lime pie - all must haves! The fried Oreos were definitely a highlight though - a crispy rice breading that took them to the next level! Excited to try the brunch menu! Service - 4.5/5 - it took them a while to take our orders or get water when we were first seated, but our waitress was incredible - truly, attentive, nailed everything, hilarious and took such great care of us! Ambiance - 4/5 - beautiful, industrial chic - my goal in life is now to get into that bourbon room on the staircase!! The upstairs was strangely empty, while the downstairs was popping on a Monday night and very loud. It was honestly hard to hear people right next to you. read more

Overall my experience was lovely- our waitress was attentive, ambiance was stunning and food was great. You could even see the food being cooked from where we were sitting and it looks like a clean kitchen. The mimosas were delightful! I'd go back for sure read more

If I could give this negative stars I would. I ate their cesar salad- it tasted extremely funky. I then lost my appetite for the rest of the day. About 6 hours later that was the only thing i had eaten i got extremely sick. Couldn't keep water anything down. The hospital told me it was food poisoning. Do not eat here if you don't want to feel like your dying. Awful Experience. read more

Excellent good and service - the Full Bird was a great option to share. The other option were all good and so were the drinks. Unusual take on deviled eggs, but these were also good read more

The ambience is great love the flooring bar upstairs the service was delayed. It was not crowded but it was a nice about of people inside. The food was well seasoned and tasted good. The bread was just ok not worth the $6. They added gratuity for 2 people 20% for the slower service. Ask about this read more

Yardbird Table & Bar - Mac and cheese, foccacia, meatballs, short rib - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We made a quick reservation since we were in the area and were seated rather quickly. The restaurant was booming with all tables filled and several parties and celebrations going on. We were seated against a wall, it was pretty packed. I thought service would be impacted by the business but it wasn't. Reviews and advertisements for Yardbird are what initially got our attention. The restaurant does have a modern and welcoming vibe but it did seem too crowded. The service was great, the food was prepared quickly but did not compromise it's quality. The food was delicious. We got the Fried Green Tomato BLT as an appetizer, my partner got their famous old fashion, felt it was good without being too strong but not like he's used to. We got the shrimp and grits and the chicken and waffles. We were pleasantly surprised at the large portions and really enjoyed our lunch! read more

Service was good, food came out kind of slow but the server was nice. Food was just ok, most of it lukewarm and small portions. The food lacked flavor except for the bacon, the bacon was probably the best thing I had. They only give you 2 fried green tomatoes, for $16.. crazy. Ambiance was what I expected. Overall, overpriced, under seasoned food.. will not be returning read more

We ordered the gluten free fried chicken for takeout. It is hard to find gluten free fried chicken so we were excited to give it a try but for takeout it was just ok. The fried chicken was ok. Since it was transported in the box it is understandable that it got a bit soggy. The mashed potatoes had a bit too much garlic for my taste. We will definitely try it in person and will update the review once we do. read more

Had to do Restaurant Week before it ended...started eating before I realized I didnt take a pic LOL such good food!! I'd already been to Yardbird in 2 other cities, but it never disappoints in ANY city. The appetizer of fried tomato and deviled egg was just enough. Delaney, my excellent server, recommended the Nashville Hot Chicken and it did not disappoint - so good and the homemade ranch was the finishing touch. The key lime pie had that tartness i love and the crust was a-mazing! Shout out to Yardbird's Delaney and manager Patrick for a great experience - i had a bit of a harrowing experience on the way there and Delaney was so nice so that it helped ease my nervousness. I will definitely be back! read more

Giving this 5 stars because I enjoy it and want it to stay! The menu changes sometimes which is fun. They have some of the best wings! They have tons of chicken but theyre still super tender and the sauce is the perfect spice level. Their salmon is also weirdly good and their deserts are perfect. Guys - please stop advertising a spicy Nashville hot "eat at your own risk" sandwich. It is literally not spicy at all and neither is the slaw and it's simply not Nashville hot - its a dry rub (which I'm not convinced was actually on mine). The chicken is nice and crispy and the bun is fluffy but that thing is the same spice level as a carrot. read more

New southern food trendy brunch spot in River North! We had biscuits and beignets to try as our starter and then each got a brunch entree. The food was really good and had great potion sizes but it just wasn't worth the price. Each entree averaged almost $10 more for each item than any comparable restaurant in the area. The vibes inside are immaculate and we were seated on their second floor which was quieter and had a better view of the city. The service was good but not worthy of a $40+ person brunch. Glad we got to try out a new restaurant in the city but we will not be rushing to go back. read more

Lively atmosphere. Full party must be present in order to be seated and even then still had to wait a bit with a reservation. The appetizers were hit or miss but the main entrees were delicious. AJ was our waitress and she was excellent. read more

Ambiance was on point. Very cool atmosphere. I went for brunch. Not a ton of gluten free options (although they do have an option to do gluten free fried chicken & waffles which I thought was cool-- they do not have GF bread). Our server was really great. I got the deviled eggs (sooo good), bourbon Bloody Mary (this was okay, I think I'll stick with vodka next time), and the protein bowl as an entree (this was also just okay, not bad, but okay). read more

Pricey but overall worth the experience. And the portions are generous -- though I'm sure we over-ordered. It's an interesting concept that sort of mashes Southern hospitality and fine dining. Was cool to hear from our server the story of how the restaurant started. I would definitely go back. read more

Very sweet and smoky. Wish it was larger but taste is good. Definitely order again. The banana is not very potent which is really good. read more

We'd been looking forward to this opening after having had great experiences at the Vegas location. Came on a Sunday for brunch with two kids, which is some times a gamble bc you don't always know how accommodating a place will be. To our great surprise, everyone from the hosts to the server, to the manager who came by our table in person to check on us, was fantastic! We had reservations but at some places that doesn't mean much. Upon arriving, the hostess was kind and helpful, seating our family in a quiet corner near the windows, with ample room for our stroller and two high chairs. The server was helpful too, and offered like a pro to bring out the kids' meals first, helping relieve the anxiety of hangry children so that we could enjoy our meal! The fried chicken was even better than I remembered in Vegas / we also enjoyed the house sauce, which was kind of like a tangy buffalo sauce flavor. the BLT was so unique, fresh green tomatoes and just-right batter. Deviled eggs were creamy and right on, we scooped up every bit on the plate! Ordered the grilled shrimp and pasta for the kids - impressed at how perfectly cooked the kids' pasta was. And the green juice was surprisingly fresh & balanced, with the flavor of every ingredient just strong enough. We all - including the kids - licked our plates clean. The space is beautiful and spacious, and with the great hospitality we enjoyed, we can't wait to come back. Don't know if the other less than 5-star reviews were on an off day but we're so glad to see this place up & running, and will be back for sure. read more

Food was average and way over priced. Service wasn't good no refills on drinks not even water. No one came around and asked if we needed anything. Put us at a high top with a toddler the high chair was under the table not one person even noticed or asked if that could irk . Obviously it wouldn't. Do not recommend read more

The food was so good I'll definitely come Back a bit expensive but the quality of the food so worth it read more

Great dinner & service! Tonight was my first time at Yardbird Chicago (I've previously gone to the Miami Beach location). The food was just as excellent as I remembered & the service was superb! The setting & ambiance are very Chicago, which I enjoyed. I will absolutely return to this location! read more

Have been twice to the location in Chicago. Always good food and good service! Would recommend giving it a try!!!

Not my grandmothers fried chicken. Something was missing. It's was crunchy and juicy, but missing seasoning. Brussel sprouts had the right amount of crunch. Skip the asparagus. Recommend the fried green tomatoes, biscuits and deviled eggs. Impressive wine and cocktail list. I'll go back a few more things I want to try. This place can eat into a wallet. $$$ Try sharing a few dishes if in a group. Hosts can be a bit stodgy. Smile. Waiters are very knowledgeable and accommodating. Hear rumors the Miami location is better. read more

Good food but you definitely pay inflated downtown prices. I had a half chicken with grits and crispy brussel sprouts. It was fantastic but what I appreciated most about the place were the cocktails. Had an Old Fashioned and a Southern Peach and both were excellent. I sat at the bar and Brandon provided excellent service. If im in Rivernorth again I'll be sure to go by, at least for a drink. read more

The food was OK! I've had better. They don't have juice for lunch hours only brunch time. The ambiance is beautiful. The waitress was very sweet and attentive. I would call this a one and done type of restaurant. If you get the waffles and chicken, make sure you let them know whether you'd want a drum or thigh or wings. Our order came and my friend has a thigh with a wing and I had a thigh with a drum stick. Overall the chick was seasoned very well and was extremely tasty. read more
