Yardy Rum Bar - Jerk Chicken; and Red beans & rice (vegan)

Yardy Rum Bar

This place is a blessing for Eugene. It never disappoints! Tonight I sat at the bar and enjoyed the…read morecozy atmosphere with my doubles and a Ti Punch. So delicious I had to order another! As I was sitting there, the smell of the fried chicken wafting in from the kitchen overpowered me and this (mostly) vegetarian had to get that 3 piece fried chicken basket. I don't normally eat meat while I'm dining out but I know Chef Isaiah only sources the best ethically raised local chickens and I've sneaked a bite before from friends who have ordered it and found it delicious. Let me tell you, it was worth the wait! I will forever eat Yardy's fried chicken--they do it like no one else! The outside was crispy and the meat was tender and so juicy. Pour on that side of hot sauce and you have a full body experience! I put my book aside and got all consumed by those three pieces and was consumed by pure glee and satisfaction. If you haven't made a trip to Yardy yet, you're missing out! And if you've gone once, you better go again! I hope Eugene continues to show up so that Yardy remains a Eugene staple for years to come. Thank you to the staff and the chefs who made this such a magical experience. I'll be back again soon!

This little cozy nook lives up to the hype. Great funky, warm atmosphere. Patio was excellent and…read morethen had to try some of the various runs at the bar. The food was top notch. The fried chicken had an amazing flavor and super moist. Watch out for the hot sauce that it comes with, it is no joke HOT. potato salad was unique and I couldn't put it down. Beet salad with jerk seasoning was refreshing. Cocktails were lovely. The bar is quaint and Brandon knows his rums and seems to truly delight in chatting about the various ones they have. We asked him to make a flight of ones he enjoys that are something we may not have had (we have enjoyed our local rum club for years so have tried many). Definitely some fun and funky ones. Can't wait to go back and see what else he would recommend.

I wish I took a picture.. but once I took a bite, I couldn't stop. I ordered the chicken chop chez…read moresandwich, got my dad the soul bowl, and got a side of Mac to try. Hands down one of the best food trucks/dining options in town. I surprised my dad with the soul bowl, and hoped he would like it. He devoured the whole thing (minus a bite, which I had and it was amazing). He couldn't stop saying how good everything in it was. The chicken sandwich with pepa chicken was delicious. My one complaint? Too much bread. I love me some carbs and bread, but the chicken was so so good that the bread just didn't match the awesomeness of the chicken. I got through half the sandwich minus a couple bites and was stuffed. I have a healthy appetite, and couldn't even think of eating the second half (right now). The Mac was delicious too. The crew was super friendly, and they obviously have a great relationship with their regulars, but they were kind and energetic and happy to see every single person that ordered when I was there. I will absolutely be back, and can't wait to try the other things they have!

Finally got a chance to try this place, it was open midday on a Friday. I can't remember when I…read moretried to go before but I remember thinking it was odd they were closed at the time. It's a fairly plain looking truck and the options were straight forward. I got the brisket mac and cheese. The gentleman running the place was the only one working it so we were prepared to have a bit of a wait, it cannot be easy to run a whole kitchen all by yourself. He was very friendly and helpful. We didn't have to wait nearly as long as you would think, definitely quicker than a sit down restaurant. Thankful that he wrapped my meal in foil within the recyclable cardboard container so I didn't have to worry about leakage or the thing falling apart. I loved this. The mac was creamy and flavorful, the brisket was melt in your mouth and so good. I also appreciated that he didn't drown the whole thing in BBQ sauce (too many supposedly good BBQ places do). Couple things that count against this place - price can be a bit high for people but you really get two meals for it. A somewhat unclear operating schedule. And for the mac, I thought, at first, it would have been nice to have the brisket broken up into the mac. But considering how easily it comes apart, it isn't a huge deal. Try this place!

The guacamole was great and I loved the side of black beans. The Margarita was a great way to start my day. The staff was really friendly, and I love the outdoor dining ambiance!

I ordered delivery from Bill & Tim's tonight and was incredibly disappointed. One major issue was…read morethat only half of my order arrived. One bag had my name on it, the other had someone else's name on it. This could have been the fault of the driver or the restaurant, both should have been more vigilant. I ordered a 2-meat plate for myself with mac and cheese and onion rings as the side. My partner got the BBQ chicken sandwich with truffle fries and two pieces of Texas toast. Only my food arrived, split across two bags (one of which didn't even have my name on it). My partner's food was completely missing and in its place were sweet potato fries. He had to order something else and wait for it to come. The sweet potato fries were cold and mushy and didn't have much flavor. My plate was packed in the bag vertically so that all of the grease was leaking out into the bag while it was en route. This meant that the entire container, inside and out, was absolutely covered in grease. I could not touch any part of my meal without getting covered in a thick layer of grease. You might think with all that mess that there wouldn't be any grease left for the food, but you'd be wrong! All of my food was very greasy. The mac and cheese was cold and congealed, like it had been sitting all day. The chicken was alright, but greasy. The brisket was shredded (who shreds brisket????) and VERY greasy. The Texas toast was the greasiest of them all. Every bite I took had a significant amount of grease squishing out into my mouth. It was truly foul. The onion rings were also greasy but that is a bit more forgivable since they are fried. I was really looking forward to a nice BBQ dinner at home after a long, tiring day. Alas, I'm left with a greasy life and a headache. Unless you want health issues from all the grease, skip this place and try a different local BBQ joint.
