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!

I was recommended by someone at the tourism office on 5th and market to come here. Thank goodness…read morehe told me about it. I showed up with a reservation so I did have to wait about 15 min. Restaurant is in an old house so sitting inside is either downstairs or upstairs, but there is sitting outside. For food soany yummy options. I ordered the 3 piece pan fried chicken, Creole potato salad and the fall pickle plate and Pina colada (dairy free). The friend chicken was so good! Great crisp and seasoning. The sauces did add some flavor and kick, but to be honest you don't even need the sauces. Chicken was that tasty. The potato salad was delicious ! Creamy and flavorful, but dairy free for my lactose intolerant people. The pickle plate now this is something for people who love pickled items and sodium bc they were definitely vinegary and lots of sodium. It was so good though. Some of the veggies were carrots, squash and cucumbers. The Pina colada was good, but don't expect that luxury resort style drink. I appreciate a Pina colada that sticks to the basics, but yet has the base flavors. Definitely recommend and if you can make reservations even better. Next time I visit I'll definitely be coming back.

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!
