Lashonda was amazing. very courteous. cut our cake and celebrated our biRthday together.

I literally love this restaurant! The aesthetic is so nice. The tortilla soup is AMAZING and so are the biscuits, honestly I haven't had anything I don't like. I typically go for dinner but today I went for lunch and S/o to our Server Austin, he was GREAT and put me on a new dish the chicken ceaser wrap with modifications...10 out of 10. highly recommend! read more

Yardbird is situated in the heart of Dallas, within walking distance of some of Dallas' main attractions. We stopped in for a brunch and were pleasantly greeted by the host. The interior is spacious, fun, and modern, with a fantastic looking bar. Our server explained their specialties and frequently stopped by to check on us and fill our water. We started either the biscuit donut bites, which were generously dusted with cinnamon sugar and had a fantastic chocolate dipping sauce! My fave plate was the server rec of chicken biscuit sliders. The biscuit is delicious, fluffy, and moist. The chicken was AMAZING!! Super juicy with a great flavor. The brine in the chicken was fantastic. Fries were hit and perfectly crispy as well! read more

It was such a special day for my son as he proposed to his girlfriend of two years, and choosing Yardbird Table & Bar made the celebration even more memorable. 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! read more

This was my wife and I's first time here and we were absolutely blown away by LaShonda's service. She made us feel so welcomed and made the already beautiful ambiance even more enjoyable. The food was AMAZING! We can't wait to come back here again! P.S. LaShonda! Pack your bags, we're going to Singapore!!! read more

I hadn't been to this location in years, and it didn't disappoint now that I've returned. Food was good- chicken and waffles: better than the average find around town; greens: very tasty; mac and cheese: ehh, not bad, but not my fave; biscuits: delicious with the apple jam as always. (I've been to the Vegas location more than the Dallas location) The server was nice and attentive. I'll visit again sooner than later. read more

Everything went well! The food was fresh! I had the wedge salad with bacon and not only was it filling but every single ingredient was super fresh and tasted amazing. I ordered the margarita for happy hour and it was made to perfection. Lastly, I came in my sweats and T shirt as I did not anticipate coming to eat here but they treated me very well with zero judgement. I really appreciated that for such a nice restaurant. I would definitely say yes, come here and enjoy yourself. Happy hour till 6pm. read more

I came here with friends for brunch on Sat am. Our sever, Andre, was great. My friends were a bit obnoxious and asked a thousand questions but he remained patient and friendly. The food was decent. I really liked the chicken biscuits. The fried green tomato sliders were pretty good. I'm not sure how I feel about coming back here, but I am glad I tried it out. read more

Stopped in again with my son today for lunch. Like always the place has an amazing ambiance great for a date or girls night out. For lunch there plenty of seating and no reservation is needed. We were greeted by our server almost rapidly and he quickly brought out water. Not long after placing our order or lunch entrees came out and was so enjoyable. Tons of flavor and very easy to consume most of the food in a matter of minutes. Lol. It's just so good. Can't wait to get in here again. read more

Delicious food. Amazing happy hour. Nice patio. Great location. What more do you want?!? I stopped by here for happy hour with a friend and we had a great experience. Their happy hour deals are actually legit! I loved their cocktails and that they don't skimp on the fancy ice or barware just bc it's during happy hour. Their food is actually tasty and the patio is set up nicely for some good people watching. The location is also super close to downtown, uptown, and Klyde Warren park so it makes for a great meeting point before / after events. The old fashioned was tasty and the popcorn shrimp and wings are can't miss items. Highly recommend yardbird and it does not give off chain vibes (I've been to another location in Miami and they have one in Addison also I believe). read more

I have been to Yardbird before, but I think this was the first time since I started my pescatarian diet. The decor is very chic and all the staff was super friendly and helpful. Also love that they comp parking in the parking garage. Our waiter went above and beyond, to make sure I had something good to eat. Andre helped me tweak the chicken and egg sandwich and we switched it out for salmon. I also got a side of their spiced watermelon. It was amazing! I also had some of my friends fried green tomatoes. I just took off the bacon. It was the perfect little bite. Andre also helped my friends and kid with their food selections and answered all of our questions. I also got their smoke on the water cocktail... At first I was a little nervous because it came in a bottle, the bottle was very cute by the way, but can I tell you this drink was hitting! It had the perfect amount of smoke when it came out of the bottle and the flavor, if you like cinnamon and a whiskey, this is the drink for you. My only complaint was the hash brown. It was pretty and it was crispy but it lacked seasoning. And maybe because I ate it last, but it was cold and hard to cut through. I added some hot honey hot sauce and pepper and that helped. Overall, my meal was very good and service was amazing. I will definitely be back. read more

A fun spot! The food is yummy! But I'll be honest my deviled eggs did not taste fresh. They actually tasted like they were made and maybe putting in a refrigerator and brought out later but they still were fantastic but I could tell they were not fresh. Everything else was amazing. My breakfast was amazing. The location is amazing right across the street is downtown Dallas, where you can walk around and sightsee have a picnic but the restaurant itself the food was great and the deviled eggs were great too. They just were not fresh fresh. If you know what I mean. read more

4 of us made reservations Went for Mother's Day dinner. The food was good but Not for the price point. Chicken and Waffles chicken was good but Nothing special, The rotisserie chicken the outside was seasoned the chicken not so much and the rice was not great, the French dip did not like the seasoning and the dipping sauces were funky, truffle fries WAY Too much truffle oil I couldn't eat them. The Deviled Eggs nothing special. However the cornbread was delicious. Service was weak not attentive no refills no how are you doing Only came to pick up the plates and bring the check. The atmosphere was nice, bathroom was clean and stocked. Average $100. Per person I expected a much better experience. read more

I really liked the food although the quantity was not there but I can see for the ambience and highlighting the cuisine. They catered to my allergy requests and even have Epi-pens themselves I was told. The waiter really looked out for me and told me what to eat and not eat regarding my allergies. Loved that they had mocktails. read more

Yardbird - Grilled Blackened Salmon Filet - Southern Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Location -9/10 right off the highway and close to Kyle Warren Park so if it were earlier in the day, the kiddos could play before or after. Service- 8/10. Speed if service was great. However there was not a ton of "checking in". When you're sitting close to the kitchen and several water glasses need to be filled, it makes a customer feel unnoticed. Our order was taken quickly and the food came out expeditiously and piping hot. Food portions 10/10 - Chicken platters were expansive. The four pieces and watermelon with a couple of sides literally fed me, my wife and my six year old son. Food quality- 9/10 Everything was really good. Well seasoned and served hot and fresh. The only ding was that the Collard Greens were too salty. Price 8/10- given the fact that many portions were large, it might be worth offering smaller portions for lower prices. But hey, that might be their business model to feed you and give you enough to take home? This is my second time to this location and I have been to other Yardbird restaurants in Las Vegas and Miami. I'm a fan of the restaurant and it is an easy place to give most people plenty of variety. I'd recommend for a small or a large group. Our group of nine (9) was easily accommodated and there was not a single complaint from our crew. Would I visit again? Absolutely! read more

Met with family & friends who were in town for the weekend. When I called to reserve a table which was highly recommended, I was informed due to the size, I needed to put a credit card of file and if we cancelled (as it was less than 24 hrs) I would be charged $25 per person!! Needless to say, we didn't make the reservation and just walked in at 2:30 in the afternoon and literally the place was empty. We were seated immediately and I wish I had gotten the servers name because he was AWESOME, as he asked what we usually like to drink to make drink recommendations as well as made sure that my water glass was always full. We opted for drinks & appetizers, I got the blackberry burbon lemonade however I subbed out the Jim bean for crown, we got the cornbread, the wings (that come with fries), both of the deviled eggs, the BLT, and the Texas Twinkie (happy hour portion). My family member also ordered the shrimp & grits. Personally I loved my drink, I loved the wings, I liked the BLT, everyone liked the cornbread, the eggs were okay, and the Texas Twinkie was my least favorite. My family member said the shrimp & grits were okay, she even mentioned sausage in the dish. There is valet parking - I believe it was $5 - there's also a parking garage where they do validate, and there is street parking but I would suggest one of the other options. Would I come back . . . I would and I will. read more

Came for brunch before visiting the art museum: food was bomb, and Shonda was THE BEST. Love a server who keeps my coffee cup FULL and gives good, honest recommendations. Started with the biscuits which were hot, fresh, buttery, with a touch of salt. The jam was killer. Followed up with the Holy Trinity Hash, which hits in a skillet. Super delicious. Would definitely come back, and would definitely ask for Shonda. read more

Loved the ability to make a reservation through Open Table. Being in downtown, parking was easy and signage eas great for the garage. Immediately greeted upon entry to the restaurant. They validate your ticket so don't forget to ask. Bryant was our server. He did a great job and checked on us often. Ordered the deviled eggs as a starter. Very good. Had the chicken and waffles and shared it because it was a half a chicken. Delicious! I ordered a side of their hashbrowns because those were pretty good from our last visit. Loved it all. read more

LASHONDA IS THE BEST !!!! Great service and dope vibes and the food was amazing! !!!!!

Awful experience to say the least! We were a party of 5 here to celebrate friends birthday! From the moment we walked in and were seated we asked if there is a happy hour and the server advised us that it's only at the bar which is okay but the waitress was not very happy with us from the second she saw us, we asked for a happy hour menu just to make sure we did not want to change the seating, while checking the menu manager Jill approached us and did welcome us on a patio where the happy hour menu was apparently extended to. We ordered multiple drinks and multiple appetizers from the menu and were reviewing main dishes and after we ordered the whole thing went downhill, the orders were coming out chaotically, one person would get all three things that they ordered while the rest wouldn't even have their water, cocktails were messed up one person of our group did not drink and ordered peach lemonade and the waiter brought out 3! Of them for that person Just a mess. And then when the time for the bill come it was all over the place. I was the only one with all items accounted for everybody else had pricing for regular item which were supposed to be discounted during happy hour, they had added alcohol which was not supposed to be there. I did end up talking to a manager and they fixed it but it all took forever! Terrible service experience with mediocre food. read more

Probably one of the most expensive fried chicken places I've ever been to, so of course had to try the fried bird. I ordered the Llewellyn half chicken which came as four golden pieces of chicken. On the side are mashed potatoes and a side salad. The mashed potatoes were fine - on the gummier side than fluffy unfortunately, and the side salad was very savory and could have used more acid to provide freshness to offset the fried chicken. The fried chicken was good! Decently crisp despite the reviews on here but not crunchy because the batter is thinner and not super craggy. My dinner mate ordered a charcuterie board which comes more on a tea-tower, multi-level type contraption which included all sorts of dips and sausages. She devoured it by herself and did not need my help. (I didn't want to help her anyway ;) Probably not a destination spot, in my opinion, but if you find yourself traveling to Dallas on the company dime, sure, come through. read more

This may go down as the best chicken and waffles i ever had in my life!!! The chicken was amazing! Waffles was solid. The biscuit with the apple butter was fire. Bartenders were great and the ambiance at the bar was perfect. The slight spice on the watermelon was a great touch too! read more

Food was decent and enjoyed most of it, however very over priced. The service was mediocre (Jazmin) and disappointing. Made a reservation and was sat quickly but the whole meal felt rushed and we were not asked if we wanted any deserts or drinks after they took our plates. Just told not even an hour after our reservation that we had to hurry up because they had another party at 7 that had reserved our space. We were not finished yet and felt this was extremely rude. They didn't even offer to move us or apologize just "get out" attitude. We won't be going back and will not be recommending them to anyone. read more

Had a wonderful experience at Yardbird on a Friday night in Dallas. Weather was beautiful, sat outside on patio enjoyed the food and company. Server was wonderful, he mentioned he was leaving- but all in the same, excellent. Friendly, warm and helpful. Food was outstanding, Nashville hot chicken and mac n cheese as well as the Wagyu burger! Ordered all as it comes, and excellent. The Ranch dressing should be bottled and sold!!! Beyond amazing! Price is $$$ little too pricey, but was delicious! Sides are single serving or 1.5 and almost $20 for a side is a bit much! Classic margarita for $21 is crazy as well! read more

This place is such a vibe! The location is in the heart of downtown Dallas with a parking garage located right across the street. The entrance can be a tad tricky and require circling the block a few times, but it's super convenient and the restaurant validates! There is outdoor sweating, but the interior is just chef's kiss. Their Caesar salad was such a unique take on a classic, and they weren't wrong when they said they're famous for their fried chicken! The service was also fantastic and our waitress made sure we had an excellent experience. read more

For my entree, I ordered the sweet tea braised short ribs, banana pudding cheesecake for dessert, and Bless Your Heart cocktail to get the party started. The short ribs were good and tender and the sweet tea flavor paired well. I was not a fan of the banana pudding cheesecake. It just had a weird after taste. Service was great. read more

Yardbird is pretty consistent no matter which city you're in. This particular one is stunning. There's a great outdoor area in addition to the standard seating you'd find at most restaurants. The ambiance is great. I ordered the salmon, deviled eggs and cornbread. The salmon was underwhelming, but the cornbread and deviled eggs were tasty. I normally get the short rib, but the recipe has changed a bit. They added mushrooms and that's no bueno for me. Il I'll definitely be back in some city somewhere in the U.S., but I won't be getting the salmon. P.S. I sat at the bar and service was great! read more

We were sat quickly by the hostess Erica! She was super sweet and even thanked us for stopping by to dine with them today! We were sat at a half booth close to the bar Fernando was my server, he was very helpful and friendly. Let's start with what we had.. 1. Fried green tomatoes! It was a hit! It had a thick slice of bacon on it which was *chefs kiss* 2. Fish with mash potatoes and mac and cheese.. the presentation was beautiful and the food was good as well! 3. Sweet tea braised short rib.. oooo this was rich in flavor and literally if it had a bone it would fall off of it 4. The drinks were good as well and would definitely come back to sit at the bar and brink! And it was also my bfs birthday! They got him a card and a mini pecan pie cake. Overall I give this place 10 out of 10 can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. read more

Got the Chicken & Waffles, Grilled Blackened Salmon Filet and Deviled Eggs. You can't go wrong with the chicken and waffles, it's SO good! It comes with honey hot sauce, chilled spiced watermelon, Vermont sharp cheddar cheese waffle, and bourbon maple syrup. The waffles are so fluffy and the chicken is fried to perfection. Didn't think I'd like the watermelon paired with it, but it definitely complimented the meal. I love salmon, but wasn't the biggest fan of the salmon dish I ordered. It lacked flavor in my opinion and I've had much better. The deviled eggs make for the perfect appetizer! I don't care for deviled eggs much, but definitely enjoyed these. Overall, it's an awesome place with excellent customer service. Weekends tend to get pretty busy, so definitely a good idea to make reservations ahead of time. read more

Had a great meal at Yardbird on a weeknight. The restaurant was quite busy even on a weeknight so a reservation is recommended. The staff seated us quickly on the second floor which we preferred since it was a little quieter than the bustling main floor. They have an extensive drink menu with cocktails and wine options. We tried all the Classic cocktails: the Southern Revival was definitely the best one. For apps, we got a Texas Twinkie and cornbread. The Twinkie was excellent; the glazed syrup over the bacon wrapped jalapeno was awesome. Note it only has one pepper in one portion, so consider ordering multiples for large parties. For main dishes, the chicken & waffles stood out the most. The side watermelon was definitely unexpected but it brought a surprisingly refreshing taste. The fried chicken was excellent, you won't be disappointed. Overall a lovely experience, def a recommended spot! read more

Have you ever had that one restaurant you keep meaning to try? You hear about it, drive by it, see it in your Yelp searches, but somehow you always end up somewhere else? That's been me and Yardbird for the past year. Even before I relocated to Dallas from Atlanta, Yardbird was on my radar. And this weekend I finally made it in for Brunch, and mostly, it was worth the wait. We visited to celebrate my niece's 7th birthday--she's in her "big girl brunch" era and Yardbird is a great pick for a celebration when you want Southern classics with an upscale twist, and the vibe delivers. Our server Fernando was fantastic--attentive, upbeat, and made sure we were well taken care of. We ordered a spread of brunch staples, including: the iconic Chicken & Waffles, Lobster Mac & Cheese, Deviled Eggs, Crispy Chicken Biscuit Sliders, Fried Okra, Iceberg Wedge Salad, Classic Buttermilk Biscuits and Cheesy Grits. We washed everything down with Southern Sweet Tea, which they offer in several different flavors. Everything came out quickly and was plated nicely. The portions were generous, and most of the food hit the mark: comforting, flavorful, and exactly what you expect from a place that celebrates Southern cooking excellence. Now, the few misses that made this 4 stars for me: #1... I added a note with my reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and also mentioned to the hostess upon arrival that we were celebrating a special day for a special little girl. Somehow, the fact we had a birthday at the table never made it to our server. Fernando overheard us at the end and did his best to make up for it with a sweet "Fried Oreo" birthday dessert to-go, which we appreciated, but it would've been nice to have the celebration acknowledged for my niece during the meal and without the prompt. #2 for such a high-profile dish, the Lobster Mac & Cheese (market priced at $69) was underwhelming-- lovely presentation, but bland and a bit forgettable in taste compared to the rest of the meal. #3 the chicken that came with my Chicken & Waffles? Good flavor but soggy skin, even though I requested extra crispy. When fried chicken is your signature dish... the "crisp" matters. Still, Yardbird has a lot going for it. Now that I know which dishes shine, I'll be back with adjusted expectations and an appetite for the ones that do it right. Pro tip: Come hungry, don't skip the biscuits and sweet tea, get your parking validated for 3 hours and definitely ask for Fernando. Happy Eating! read more

My sister and I stopped in for lunch on a Monday and were seated as soon as we got there. The host, Elizabeth was very sweet and accommodating with us having a toddler and a baby. The restaurant is huge!! We were seated in a room area near the kitchen, which is reservable as well for events, parties, etc. the ambience of the restaurant was really cute and had a fresh feel to it with all of the plants /designs along the walls. Our server Christian started us off with an espresso martini, which was a bit on the strong side. A nice way to start the day and brunch. Haha For the appetizer we order deviled eggs and the tortilla soup. The tortilla soup was so flavorful and also had a slight spice to it. Absolutely loved it!! I'm not much of an egg person but my sister thought the eggs were okay and wished the filling would've been creamier. For the price, probably not worth it in my opinion. For entrees we ordered tenders and wings off of the lunch menu. We subbed the fries for Mac & cheese. The Mac was so cheesy and creamy!! I loved the noodles/pasta they used. I will be back for the Lobster Mac & Cheese next time. They weren't kidding when they say everything is bigger in Texas... the size of those wings were ginormous!!! lol Overall, the experience we had was great!! I will be checking out the Chicago location once I'm back. read more
