Another good brunch place worth reviewing from our monthly brunch group. This what we like: 1. Very attractive place. You will like this place 2. Parking in Clyde Warren area is a challenge but they have $10 valet but worth every penny. 3. Food quality was excellent. All six of us got something different and everyone enjoyed their meal. a. Chicken biscuit; shrimp & grits/ chicken waffle; blueberry pancakes: basic with two eggs 4. Drinks were also very good. Bloody Mary and mimosas Downside: 1. Our waiter had too many large customers and we had to ask her to handoff our table to another waiter. This worked out well for her and us. 2. This is an expensive brunch experience. It will make us hesitate to come back frequently. But for special occasions this will be Great. I would also bring an out of towner to impress. read more

Yardbird is located next to Klyde Warren Park so parking is VERY limited that it's best to valet. The ambience is nice, clean and spacious. For Saturday brunch, I would recommend reservations. We came for a private event and the service was amazing. We had several dishes but some of my favorite were the skillet cornbread, the fried green tomatoes topped with pork belly, the short ribs sliders and the creme brulee waffles. Would definitely keep this on my list to try again! read more

Came here for brunch with a friend and we had a delightful time! Our waitress was amazing and attentive. I ordered the fried chicken with a side of fried okra and throughly enjoyed the meal! Along with the order, I tried the southern peach cocktail (made with Buffalo Trace) and it was delicious! I ended my meal with their one of their deserts and it was worth it. I'll definitely return to try out more of their food and drink options. read more

Great location and gorgeous inside! Charles was a great server! We started with the Texas Twinkie - so yum! Not spicy at all, perfect blend of flavors. At our table we had the chicken and waffles- huge fluffy waffles and incredible fried chicken; skillet ribeye with an incredible spicy butter and crunch crust, and fried chicken - again so good like Granny use to make. Tip! They'll validate if you valet. read more

The food is good but it is a tad on the expensive side. Large portions so be prepared to share. The servers were really friendly, but it didn't seem that busy and I felt it took a long time to put drink orders in. Have of our group was late so that added to why things took so long for us. They also had a large group in the back which could've contributed to that. They gave us the desert for free . I didn't expect that and it was really nice. Very Instagramable place. Grab your cameras and go! read more

Everything served at our table was just delicious. My top recommendations: Fried chicken, cheesy grits, anything with the brisket. I'm personally still in awe of the brisket! We went on a sunny mid afternoon and the outdoor seating was just divine. Our waiter was thoughtful in his recommendations and did a wonderful job in taking care of us. Overall, I highly recommend. Keep in mind that the prices are a little high, but you get your money's worth in flavor and ambience for sure. - AT read more

Hostess while pleasant are condescending. We had a reservation for 5 people 2 of are elderly and we could not be seated with out all 5 guests. No offer to sit in the bar, etc. So our elderly parents were forced to stand. Whoever decided that a party of 5 is a large party needs training. We will not return. read more

Review is just for the bar. It's more of a 3.5 than a 4 but gave it a 4 because I thoroughly enjoyed my time here! The bar has a part where you can sit lower and it felt really nice and intimate. Our bartenders were all really polite. I asked to make the pink drink that I got more sweet and the bartender did it quickly with no hesitation. My husband got an old fashioned which he said was good. Unfortunately I still didn't love the drink and had to give it to my hubby to finish for me but I felt very welcomed and the inside was so beautiful-picture opportunities left and right as well as outside- that I still wanted to rate this place well. read more

I heard mixed reviews for quite some time about Yardbird, so I was a little hesitant and set my expectations low. From the moment we walked in, everyone we encountered was so pleasant and kind; my hesitancy melted away! Our waiter Evan was phenomenal! He was so personable and gave us great recommendations when we were indecisive. Our hands never touched the bottle to pour our mimosas! He kept stopping by to fill our glasses throughout our stay. The bacon jam deviled eggs were amazing! The fried chicken was full of flavor and juicy! The crème brulee waffles, Evan recommended, were perfect! The mac & cheese was bomb! We will definitely be back soon! If you're on the fence, don't hesitate! Make a reservation for brunch and order the jalapeño bacon devil eggs! read more

The food is down home cooking elevated. The servers are attentive and pleasant. The ambiance is very friendly and inviting..

The food was alright. Not bad, but nothing special. There are many better places for food lovers in Dallas and at similar or better prices. Service was alright. That place is extremely loud. You have to yell across the able if you want your date to hear you. It would help using sign language if you want to have a conversation. I understand Americans love noise and loud places, but when you can not understand what is being said around you, it is not enjoyable. And no, I do not have a hearing deficiency. If you will eat there, take a table outside. However, I am not sure they serve food outside on their patio. When I went there, no one was seating outside. read more

This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants of all time! Every time I'm here I feel like I'm in heaven. The chicken is tender and lightly fried to perfection. The drinks are amazing and the service is legitimately top notch. It's also a very beautiful restaurant in the heart of downtown Dallas. I've tried basically all of their apps and a few entrees and they're all delicious!! read more

Big thank you to Events & Catering - Isabel. I booked a client event in one of their private rooms and she helped me from A-Z. She was very responsive with all my questions, numerous changes and the food and service day of was 10/10. Would use them again to host client events. read more

This place is a nice quaint restaurant with a very quiet and dimly lit aesthetic. The first time I came here, I had their biscuits and immediately fell in love. I went back the next day, and got biscuits to hit the road before I returned home. Today I reserved a nice little brunch date here, and I truly just came for the biscuits! I had their biscuits to start, and the chicken slider biscuits to finish. My only gripe with yardbird is the amount of salt added to their seasoned fries. This was my second time having their seasoned fries, and they're a bit too salty. But I'll definitely be back! read more

Beautiful,bustling,Dallas uptown restaurant scene has fried chicken! They bill themselves as offering classic fare and Southern Comfort food. I was in a position to walk to an area restaurant after a Friday evening activity at the Dallas Museum of Art. I've been doing this several years now and it makes for an interesting evening. You get to walk( how often do we do that in Dallas) taking in downtown/uptown sights while finding a new place to eat. Perfect right? Well,not always perfect. I've found a few great places to eat and a couple of puzzling establishments. Yardbird is one of the,what? I have to admit that I did not read and decipher Yelp reviews before going. I was excited to get a reservation that met my need,did a quick menu scan and put it aside. I did notice when I looked at the menu the prices seemed high,but it didn't matter at that point, because as you know, I'll pay anything if the food is good enough, to match the price. In this case it wasn't. My after the fact and pre-review look at some reviews revealed, I'm not alone in assessing Yardbirds overpriced state. After a brisk walk through a very cold Dallas night air,my dining companions and I were standing at the hostess desk inside the beautiful environment of Yardbird. First impression,Nice. Great I'm feeling good and holiday festive,the place is buzzing and the initial impression is,well, impressive. After being seated we chose our cocktails and the waitress showed up soon to take our order. So far so good. That was the last thing that made sense. Even though I had a reservation, we (a party of 3) were seated in an, off the main dining room alcove, that looked to be designed for groups. Not bad but None of the charm of the main dining room. The lights were too bright and we were seated at a table for 6 which was less than intimate. It didn't help when my $16 martini was served ,Not well shaken to ice cold. The waitress seemed a little aloof, offering to take our order of appatizers when we had just sat down. I cracked a few jokes which seemed to relax her waitperson style and service was good after that,with only a couple of hicups. Let me say at this point,most of the reviews for this place revolve around breakfast/brunch. I can see why and I think they havent figured out an appropriate menu for diner offerings yet. As a result I was conflicted as to what I wanted . I ask the waitrress what the bistro steak was on the steak and frites. She responded," its like a strip." Ok, I moved on but,thought she should be able to answer that question more accuratly. That's where the overpriced value disconnect started to rear its head. I could go on and on but will try to wrap this up. My logic dictated since the menu displayed 4 chicken dishes under Specialties, I had to order one of those or I would regret it. So I went for the Chicken and Waffles. Described as a Vermont Sharpe cheddar waffle, I honestly tasted no hint of cheese. Disappointment. In addition no honey hot sauce was served with my dish. I did get the bourbon maple syrup but, it was no big deal. It would have been great warm. The chicken itself consisted of 4 smallish pieces nicely fried and flavorful. But, again,no big deal and especially at $42. My dinning mates ordered the grilled blackend salmon with basil pesto and olive relish. Good enough but,nothing to write home about and at $33 for a smallish piece and no accompanyments...well. Finally the vegatarian in the group had a huge challenge becasue theres virtually nothing there for a non meat eater. She went with the lemmon basil rigatoni with roasted garlic cashew cream and market vegatables. She mentioned it was a little salty but no comment regarding its appeal. Summing up, as you know for me to rate an accurate 4 stars, the criteria of delicious food at the appropriate price point has to be met. It is not here so, if you are allergic to over paying for meals I recommend you, not visit Yard Bird Uptown Dallas Texas. Sorry, but these guys have work to do. read more

The only complaint I had was the full valet, but you can't really blame the restaurant for being popular! I came for dinner on Valentine's Day and it was all really delicious. It's on the pricier end for southern food, but it's gorgeous inside and the food is foodie heaven. The service was ok! I had to flag our waiter down a lot, but it was a holiday, so incredibly forgivable. I am going to come back and I am going to order 3 dishes and regret it when I'm laying in bed half asleep! read more

So I've been into the location in Vegas and wanted to try them out here in Dallas. Did not disappoint. My go to is the chicken and waffles which is highly recommended you get and possibly share with someone; such a huge portion! Good brunch spot. read more

We came here for the first time on Christmas Eve. The location and ambiance were great, I loved it! All of the food was absolutely delicious. The cocktails were great too. The service was a little slow, we probably would've ordered one more drink if so much time didn't go by in between him checking on our table. Everything else made up for that, though. I definitely want to come back for brunch! read more

Lucky brunch experience! I didn't realize it was a busy place but we got lucky last Saturday. For a party of 2 it was a 20 minute wait. They let us sit by the bar until a table was ready, and we helped ourselves with some mimosas. Once seated, we ordered some small entrees. Both were great! The prices were a bit on the expensive side but it makes sense since it's right in downtown. Very beautiful interior, nice spacing between parties. They also have a very beautiful and sunny side room for larger parties. The outside seating also looks very comfortable, with the shades and view of Klyde Warren park. read more

I really enjoy this restaurant, and didn't expect to. It looked like Southern food that was too big for its britches, but let me tell you they know what they doing here! I have been to this location multiple times, and visited the DC spot earlier this year. The food was prepared with care and excellent flavors each time. The portions are very large, so it is a good place to visit with a group that doesn't mind sharing. I've tried the appetizers, the fried chicken, the wings, their chicken salad, the key lime pie... yum, yum, yum! Their service is also great. Do try this restaurant if you enjoy lux Southern cooking. read more

Sunday, 2 PM, restaurant is semi-empty, dead time between lunch and dinner, two ladies upfront. Asked for a table for five, while visually at least 5 tables, fit for us, are available and set up. They looked me straight in the eye, and offered 25 minutes wait. Food? I guess we will never know, as we scratched it from the list. Wouldn't recommend. Bye read more

Overall, this experience was just OK. We had the fried chicken, which was really really good and the cornbread which was a Fine favorite. My cocktail was really good really well-made very strong. The braised short rib was was very OK at best and my steak frites were absolutely horrible. Probably the worst steak Frites I've ever had. For some reason, the fried chicken wings were seasonEd well, nice crunch and everything but my steak and fries no flavor. The food took about an hour and some to come out so I by the time the food came I wasn't hungry anymore, and my server didn't do much with the inconvenience. The atmosphere itself of this restaurant is really really nice. It's decorated very nice however, it fell short with the service and overall time of the food I respectfully do not think that the food is worth the price. The price is absolutely ridiculous for the quality of food that is provided . That's my opinion. read more

Absolutely outstanding! During our conference visit, we decided to give this place a shot despite mixed reviews. As someone who actively leaves reviews, I saw it as an opportunity to share my perspective. Let me begin by praising their impeccable service of my favorite drink, amaretto egg white - a rare find that they not only had but perfected. With a diverse menu, we indulged in appetizers such as green fried tomatoes, honey biscuits, and deviled eggs, each offering a delightful burst of flavors. The deviled eggs, with a dill and vinegar twist, were a palate awakening experience. The fried tomato BLT surpassed any I've had before, and the biscuits were simply irresistible. Now, onto dinner - the lobster Mac and cheese was a revelation. The blend of cheeses and the freshness of the lobster created a taste sensation. I only wish there was a branch of this restaurant closer to us. The ambiance was exquisite, providing a comfortable and inviting space for conversation. Highly recommended for anyone in town. Shout out to our server Bani. He was the highlight. Always making sure we were taken care of, attentive, funny, and accommodating. Thank you Bani. Five star service. They are lucky to have you. read more

Lashonda was an amazing waitress, very attentive and friendly. I appreciate you. Ask for Lashonda whenever you come to yardbird

Even though my Yardbird experience in Las Vegas was pretty great, my visit to the Dallas location was odd, which is disappointing because I live in the DFW area. From the valet service (separate company) to the server and floor manager to the kitchen, it was interesting but not necessarily in a positive way. The decor and ambiance was top notch. If anything met the mark, it was the restaurant itself. My personal plates were tasty and correct but just overpriced. (I had deviled eggs $15 with no pork & fried green tomatoes. Only 3 slices for about $18 mind you) No complaints with my food. However, our party of 7 experienced multiple hiccups during our visit unfortunately. Some things were minor that just added up or lacked attentiveness but the undercooked meat is an issue. Two ladies in our group had chicken that was undercooked, which made me glad I changed my mind on ordering the chicken. Chicken thighs just aren't my jam but prob great for others. Raw chicken isn't anyone's Jam. All but one or 2 people in our party do not eat pork. My friend ordered her chicken egg sandwich without bacon. After reporting the undercooked chicken, the kitchen remade her sandwich but it came back with bacon on it. I think that was the kitchen's fault based on what our server was saying. He completely forgot my friend's drink ordered in the very beginning but did get it very fast once she asked if he had put it in yet. I heard him saying "I'll take care of it" a lot. I won't go into the menu situation. The team just kept dropping the ball, but you never know what people have going on, and the waiter was apologetic. However my friend observed the floor manager & server throwing shade at another table so she felt the efforts by the manager trying to butter her up, was not genuine. I'd just say be aware that some patrons are watching. Given all the mishaps, they brought us two checks - one with gratuity included & one without. I understood the gesture but had never seen that before. I think the Vegas menu must've been slightly different or a lunch menu bc I didn't see the sandwich I had previously. For the price and service, I would just rather go to Tupelo Honey and get more bang for my buck. I think the poor valet service just added to an already sub par experience. First impressions are lasting ones. I won't be rushing back any time soon. I wanted Yardbird to be great. Maybe next city or on a good day. Def recommend the Vegas Yardbird though. Pros: ambiance, interior decor, biscuits, photo opp outside the front door read more

So we celebrated our daughter's birthday here at Yardbird and had another great time, with great food and service. Had reservations, got seated pretty much right away, our server was great, food came out really quickly. The only thing that was awful was that cheeseburger. Our other daughter had it at the table, I ordered one to go for later on. Well let's just say it was one of the worse burgers I have ever eaten in a LONG time. The beef didn't even taste, look or feel like real beef, the texture was way off. It felt like I was given some plant based BS burger. Quite frankly it was awful. Also my fries were SO under cooked, they were inedible. I also tried drowning this plant based tasting, looking burger with mustard and that didn't even work. Other than that!! Top notch service, everything else was delicious especially that cinnamon role. *** Ambiance - 5 Stars! *** Service - 5 Stars! *** Food (other than that burger) - 5 Stars! *** Cheeseburger - 1 Star *** Under cooked fries - 1 Star read more

The place has industrial, modern, vibes with some traditional mixed in. Food overall was good. I usually don't have the best luck with grits but these were delicious. They were creamy and cheesy. The shrimp were large, and the sauce on top was good. It was a little on the sweet side, but it wasn't bad. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy, but the show stopper was the watermelon salad. The short rib was tender and flavorful. The chocolate cake was chocolate overload so perfect for chocolate lovers. Our server was nice, friendly, and attentive. We ended up splitting the bill quite a few ways but she didn't give us a hard time about it. read more
