    Chicken & Waffles
    Michele J.

    First ate here in Vegas and was so excited to have it here. The best gluten free chicken and waffles. Servers were amazing and the host was so sweet. Will always stop when we are near by!!!

    Nice ambiance but service was just okay for a Saturday night. While it was a hour and a half before closing we had somewhat slow service. The food is a bit overpriced for item like baked potato and a side of Brussels sprouts, however the food was tasty. I had the Caesar with fried chicken. Others had shrimp and grits and salmon. The drinks were good as well. Great for a date night.

    Classic Buttermilk Biscuits

    I came to Yardbird for a friend's birthday. Every year, my best friend does a themed party, and this year we went to Yardbird to celebrate the death of her twenties. Her mother and she are always looking for some gluten-free options (we attended POST last year), and Yardbird had just that available. For such a large party (16 or 18 of us, I cannot quite recall), our server was flawless. She was attentive, made sure each of us had what we needed, and was very knowledgeable about the menu. The overall ambiance presented a warm almost modern southern style structure with exposed brick that created a very intimate, yet community vibe. I ordered the Classic Buttermilk Biscuits and Lewellyn's Fine Fried Chicken. Buttermilk Biscuits (10/10)- I think what will let you know just how truly delicious these biscuits were is that I ordered more to take home with me so that my wife and daughter could have them for breakfast with me the next day. They were fluffy, delicious, and buttery, They came served very warm, which created the perfect balance for the house made jam, and I honestly could have eaten 6 right there at the table. It's also worth mentioning that they do reheat well the next day - do with that what you will!   Lewellyn's Fine Fried Chicken - (6/10) - I wanted a lot more from this chicken. While it was juicy and overall beautiful in presentation, it lacked the flavor I was looking for when I think of Fried Chicken, even in the skin. I think in comparison to places like Post, where you do get a flavorful bite in their chicken, I expected more from one of the things that they were known for. I did try to pair it with a hot honey sauce, but it then leaned more sweet, which I do not enjoy when I want things to be savory. I do think I would have enjoyed the short rib more and will be back to try it.

    Twice-Fried Wings

    Yardbird was a great spot to come for an early meal. We took the kids and they were very welcoming, and the Happy Hour menu here was awesome. - The Burger and Brew combo was Awesome - The Twice-Fried Wings were Great - The Chef's Tasting Plate was Okay Overall, I'd come back again there were a lot of southern style options and I bet the fried chicken here is to die for. The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive, and overall a good option for food and drinks.

    A really beautiful restaurant with very friendly staff and a nice chill vibe. We sat on the patio and really enjoyed ourselves with the server who left us to really chill at our table and take our time in the beautiful Denver dusk. The food was great, the flavors were excellent and the dishes were well executed. My only gripe is that the prices are exorbitant. Unfortunately this is a special occasion only.

    Surprised with brunch at YardBird for Fathers Day! Unique Fathers Day menu on top of their large normal brunch menu. Chicken and waffles was excellent with moist chicken and a great crust! Hot honey and bourbon syrup were a great addition. Appetizers were good. Deviled eggs were just ok but the BLT minis were 5/5, I could have killed a dozen. Lots of people on a Sunday morning but plenty of room and seating in the restaurant. Service was slow at first to get drinks and food ordered but food came very quickly once ordered. Overall, a great date spot and clearly a favorite among people in Denver.

    Service was great. Both bartenders were friendly & welcoming. I enjoyed the draft & cocktail. I wasn't a fan of the skewers. The mushrooms were good, nice seasoning. The shrimp was overcooked. Charred too much & the sauce was not good. The bar area was spacious & clean. I'd visit again for a cocktail. Not sure I would try anything other than the cornbread.

    Yardbird has such a good vibe! I love the outdoor seating and the fun "backyard" hangout area! Came for happy hour and the offerings are good and for great prices. Both the drinks and the food are a hit. The menu is fun and the space is awesome!

    Elvis pancake special

    This is going to be Greattttt! My 1st time coming to downtown Denver for Sunday brunch in 2 years and already loving this place using the Open Table app feature for a reservation. The parking is definitely a little bit crowded, but I found a parallel spot about 2 blocks away, So I allowed 5 minutes of walk time. When I arrived I was excited to see the contemporary barn style structure with fancy lighting and decorative wall hangings. So bougie barn-ish is the best way to describe it with even comfy, chill pillows in our booth. Very fancy pre-settings were already set properly on our table at sitting. The host was so friendly and letting us pick a table that we wanted which was the bigger fancier booth. Bryan L. Is the best waiter I have ever had in Denver! He went above and beyond to make this brunch Super, Duper amazing! There is a Bottom less Mimosa menu available and we picked the pineapple juice Mimosas for $25 each person. Come to say they were marvelous and so refreshing. He picked the Elvis Special which was the pancakes with bananas, peanuts, peanut butter drizzle. I picked Shrimp with grits. The food presentation was everything here to me and I was absolutely WOWED and impressed with the delicious food decisions. I noticed the restrooms were very clean, and sanitized. There is a back yard seating structure also available for when it's warmer. I can't wait to come back next time to enjoy the Colorado sunshine. THANK YOU YARDBIRD FOR THE WONDERFUL DAY!! Your true quality of hot, delicious food truly shows your customers come in priority.

    Run across this place after going to the rivian dealership. Have a great happy hour from 4:00 to 6:00 the staff was nice great feel to the place and they seated us rather quickly. Wings 4/5 Deviled eggs 5/5 Okra 3/5 BBL 4/5 Oreo 3/5 The wings were full of flavor, nice and crisp, especially with the dipping sauce. The deviled eggs were amazing, some of the best I've ever had. The okra was nice and crisp but a little too much salt for my liking. The adult beverage was full of flavor with nice & heavy pour. The Oreo dessert was smooth on the inside. Nice crunch on the outside would have liked more flavor to the breading, but the ice cream was really good. I would definitely come back. I'd like to try the burger and get more deviled eggs, the cornbread that the people at the table across from us looked and smelled amazing.

    Yardbird offers a great happy hour menu! I was a bit skeptical knowing their regular menu is a bit pricey but loved my experience and found it to be of generally fair value! Overall, fine service- generally friendly, attentive, and timely. For happy hour cocktails, I recommend the Southern Peach ($9 during HH)- delicious, semi sweet, and refreshing! For happy hour food, the wings are a can't miss- so meaty, perfectly crispy exterior, and great flavor hot sauce! HH order ($12) is 6 large pieces. Definitely worth it; sauce isn't spicy but so good; comes with homemade ranch. I also tried the Texas Twinkies, chicken biscuit sliders, and oak fried meat skewers on the happy hour menu. Texas Twinkies ($7 during HH) was good and true to its name in size- pepper was spicy, but great flavor combination and perfectly cooked! Recommend changing the name to singular one the menu as it is only one "twinkie." Similarly the chicken biscuit sliders ($10 on HH) say two are served on the menu- but it is only one. Of the HH food items, the chicken biscuit slider was most disappointing- tiny biscuit that didn't cover meat and fell apart; no complaints on chicken except small portion size/not two of them. The skewers trio- beef, chicken, and shrimp- ($11 during HH) were delivered to the table over hot smoking wood coals. Pretty cool! The meat was good but largely unremarkable for flavor. Tender steak, but pretty small portions. Best tasting was the chicken. Full disclosure, I experienced the full YB dining experience during restaurant week a few months ago. Tried a variety of their culinary offerings including the fried chicken! If you ever wondered what restaurants may have perfected fried chicken, Yardbird is likely on that list! Yardbird's location in Denver is on Blake St in RiNo. Parking can be limited in this area. YB offers a large space- with the option to stay in the bar room/lounge area (beautiful and huge bar) on the south side of the restaurant or dine in the separate dining hall for more traditional dining experience.

    I love going here for Brunch with my girls! The bottomless mimosas are amazing. The staff has always been super nice and personable making our experience GREAT. Definitely a more classy spot but the prices are pretty decent!

    The Great American Burger
    Jessica P.

    Ate here to celebrate a birthday & we overall had a great time. The booth dragging was bit troublesome. As I'm short so it was hard to sit up in the both area. The burger was pretty standard but the appetizers are where it shined at. We also had the biscuits too and it was TOO good! Service was pretty standard & there were no complaints. Overall, may return here again

The fact you have the option to order a made to order, hand crafted cocktail or a cheap beer resonates with me. My only qualm with this place is that is usually takes me a million years to get a drink. I've been here half a dozen times and I don't know if it's just bad luck on my end, but I've had to wait at the bar for a long time. The bartenders work hard and sometimes are dealing with rowdy patrons, I've just been skipped a handful of times. Won't stop me from coming back, just my experience! For cocktails, you can't go wrong with their house old fashioned or negroni. Or even their Japanese whiskey highballs. They do have a rotating selection of house cocktails too that I've had previously and enjoyed. For beers, I love that they have Coors Banquet, Hamms, Lone Star and Miller High Life for $4. They also boast some great local ales for only a few bucks more. Great neighborhood bar. Should be in the rotation more often. Bring your crew and saddle up for a fun night at High Lonesome.

I got the same cocktail three times and each time they came out very different. The reason I took off two stars was because of the other patrons and disrespect of the staff. We were clearly there to watch the game, not a small game but the World Series! With 2 innings left another table came in and decided to be obnoxious. It was a family, and they asked to put on college baseball. The waiter went and changed the channel and the sound without asking or saying anything. We asked why they changed it because we were watching and he said it is still showing on a TV on the other side of the room. We would have had to move our table, food and drinks after we had been there for hours. Inevitably we were not able to finish the game and had to watch it on our phones. Of course the family who requested the change, wasn't even watching the games they asked to put on. No one asked us or even acknowledged until I asked. It was beyond rude and disrespectful, I doubt I will never come back here for a game after that experience. The entire situation was uncomfortable, and I can't help but think they wouldn't have done that if it was a group of men watching. Major bummer because the food and location is pretty good. Overall, 2/5 stars.
