Visited while I was in Vegas, hands down one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten before. I had the fried chicken and waffles and it was amazing, the marinated watermelon was surprisingly good. My boyfriend had the backyard BBQ plate, switched out the grilled chicken for fried chicken and they tossed it in BBQ sauce! 100% would visit again if I happen to be in Las Vegas. read more

Justin is the Manager at this fine establishment. I can't say enough how awesome this person is. He fixed an issue as professional as he t can get. I rate this place with high regards. And if you stop by, say hi to this Professional Justin, well managed. read more

Third time in, and it's equally as good as the first! I ordered the Chicken Sandwich (it was one of their burgers of the world comp? Something like that) and it was very good! Chicken was moist, not textured and the flavor was good. Should note, the chicken and waffles is a must try! Everything from the atmosphere, food, down to the service is also on point. All in all: Great food, ambience and service. Definitely recommend! read more

Visited Yardbird inside The Venetian and had a great time despite my own mix-up -- I'd made a reservation for the wrong day! Thankfully, they were still able to seat us in about 10 minutes, which I really appreciated given that it was pretty lively when we arrived. For drinks, we went with a margarita and the Yardbird old fashioned, both well made. On the food side, we ordered the creamy jambalaya pasta, the Big Easy blackened shrimp & grits, and the skillet cornbread. Everything was absolutely delicious, but the skillet cornbread stole the show -- studded with jalapeños yet still sweet, it struck a perfect balance. Our waiter, unfortunately, was pretty scatterbrained -- he forgot to bring us things, added extra items to our order that we didn't ask for, and messed up our checks multiple times. It was a bit frustrating in the moment, but didn't take away from how good the food and drinks were. Between my own reservation mishap and the service hiccups, I'm rounding to four stars, but the quality of the meal makes this a spot I'd still return to. read more

We ordered the Nashville Hot and the Yardbird Tenders. Our server suggested making the Yardbird Tenders spicy, and my husband agreed. He has a very high tolerance for spicy food, so we weren't expecting it to be an issue. Unfortunately, whoever prepared them in the kitchen went way overboard with the spice. They were so overwhelmingly hot that it wasn't an enjoyable eating experience, and my husband ultimately couldn't finish them. There's a difference between something being pleasantly spicy and the heat completely overpowering the food, and this definitely fell into the latter category. Overall, the food simply wasn't memorable enough for us to understand the level of hype surrounding the restaurant. I know Yardbird has a loyal following, so this may have just been an off experience or simply not the right restaurant for us. We're glad we gave it a try and appreciated the experience, but with so many incredible dining options in Las Vegas, Yardbird isn't somewhere I would choose to return to. read more

Huge lines for a reason. The shrimp and grits were outstanding. The waffle-style hash browns were crispy, unique, and even gluten-free. The staff was even more impressive than the food. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and took allergies seriously, making sure guests had a great experience. The restaurant was spotless, with modern restrooms and a fun, stylish atmosphere. Definitely worth the wait. read more

3 stars for the fried chicken, 5 stars for the waffle and service... 4 stars overall. During the 4 years since my last visit, I have had (too) many fried chickens that had probably jaded my palate. Yardbird's fried chicken now tastes rather dry and tough, but thanks to the provided house hot sauce (which tastes a bit sour like Tabasco), it's quite Ok -- especially when eaten together with the buttery soft waffle, MM mm. The watermelon cubes are a refreshing palate cleanser. Very friendly bar staff. Next time will probably get one of the Lunch Specials, a better deal than the $45 chicken waffle. My bar neighbor ordered a 'Chefs choice tower' lunch special that looked amazing. 18% automatic gratuity added to all checks. OK by me. read more

Love the vibe of Yardbird, its so country and fun. There's big open windows/walls inside so you can see inside the casino hotel area. There's so much space in there, and also has a bar with additional seating. Lots of space for big groups too, which is a plus. It was very crowded with so many people having a good time with their drinks and food. Our server was good, we didn't see her very much though but when she did help us she was very nice. We only ordered a couple of items because we were sharing. The chicken and waffles were so yummy, the chicken was crispy and juicy and the waffles were crunchy outside and soft inside. I was not a fan of the bourbon syrup on the table, the bourbon flavor was strong! I probably could have asked for plain but the waffles really didn't even need anything added. The burnt ends were not my fav, the sauce was on the sweeter side. My guy really liked those. Excellent spot for great food and probably drinks - we didn't order any but we saw all the drinks everyone was having and the bloody marys looked so good! Our server told us there is an automatic 18% gratuity added to all checks/party sizes, I don't like that at all, I rather have the option but if that's how the industry is doing things, we will go with it! read more

Sorry, no pics this time but this was great I I ordered the shrimp and grits for breakfast, something I make at home on occasion and this made me realize I can use a lot more cajun seasoning and bell pepper in it is really good. My wife had the Creme Brule Belgian Waffle and gave me a bite and again a big "Wow that's good!" read more

This is a restaurant on the strip but we were seated very quickly and the service by the entire staff was amazing! Our server Brandon was very service oriented and checked on us enough to make sure everything was OK. As the courses arrived each one kept outdoing the last with all the food being excellent. Very nice restaurant with a large seating area but with plenty of room between tables so you didn't feel crushed in. The entire staff is fantastic and I can't recommend Yardbirds any more, I just wish Yelp could give out more than 5 stars because they truly deserve it! read more

Vibrant atmosphere. The place was packed for breakfast/brunch. Service was excellent. Coffee cup kept full. Water glasses kept full. I tried the "everything but the kitchen sink" - i thought it had too many onions. I did not care for it. Spouse had the eggs Benedict- felt it was so so. Would definitely go back to try some of the other things read more

GO HERE! We went for breakfast and I wouldn't hesitate to go again. For being busy, we didn't wait to be seated and the server was attentive. I had the Bayou Benedict and an order of the deviled eggs. The eggs were so good and had a nice zest to them. The Benedict was a huge portion size and delicious. My sister had the Gravy Train, which is an open faced sandwich. The portion was HUGE and she said it was amazing. I tasted the fried chicken and it was delicious and juicy. 10/10 would go again. read more

We popped in for a lunch this latest trip and were not as impressed with the food like we had been before. Service was fantastic and friendly, no complaints there. We did the Jalapeno Jam deviled eggs to start which were really good. It was our meal - wedge salad with chicken along with a chicken/gravy brunch sandwich which were lacking in any flavor in terms of the chicken. Chicken was jut blah. Interesting given their menu is based all around their fried chicken. The gravy was meh, along with a very hard potato type side and the biscuit was very dry. He was disappointed with the overall lack of any flavor. Now, besides the chicken on my salad being a non starter, the dressing, bacon bits and tomatoes were yummy. We are on the fence with a return visit during our next stay at Venetian. read more

Let's start off with a vibe check. For it to be on the strip service was quick didn't take long to be seated. Waitstaff was highly attentive. Now let's talk about the food. Don't go there hungry because you will want everything. The menu is not big but good. Appetizers were good. For my entree I got the chicken and egg sandwich. I was able to swap out the hash brown for a side salad. Also the sandwich came on brioche but I removed it due to personal dietary needs. The egg was cooked perfect and the chicken was juicy. Bacon was crisp. The small issues chicken could have alittle more seasoning, add more of the sauce. The sandwich is a good size and even with removing the bun I only ate half. I would definitely return and try other things on the menu. read more

Pricey, but you're on the strip so not surprised. This place is always busy and a great stop if you want some good southern food and are stuck on the strip. The restaurant keeps on theme with the food and is not overdone which is nice. The cocktails are a tad sweet, probably just stick to something simple. read more

Dining area is dark and very loud,, primarily because it's usually busy both inside and out. The location in restaurant row in the venetian becomes a bustling place at night, even a weekday night. Service here is top notch, can't think of anything I would ask them to improve on. The diet coke we ordered came in a small 8oz glass bottle, nice!!! We started with some deviled eggs - maybe the best I've ever had, just tons of flavor and they didn't have to do it with a bunch of junk piled on top. Tangy mustard flavor it seemed, but they were excellent. We also tried the skillet cornbread. It had a generous pat of butter on top and came out in a small iron skillet on a cutting board. Presentation was great but the cornbread missed me a little, I'm just not a fan of whole chunks of corn in my cornbread - just a personal preference, others at the table said it was good. Chicken and waffles is the star of the show here folks. Actually any of the fried chicken dishes - you can't go wrong. It is perfectly crispy on the outside and very tender chicken meat. It is fall apart tender without being dried out. They even offer both - the fried chicken AND the waffles - in a gluten free variation. The waffles were clearly different looking and perhaps not quite as tasty, but the gluten free chicken was every bit delicious as the regular. The plate is also served with "chilled spiced watermelon" which were chunks of watermelon that tasted amazing. This could even be a dessert, but it was a nice refreshing "side". We also tried several of the sides: Collard greens - these were a miss for me, not much flavor going on even though they did have some shredded chicken in there, Plenty meat to be satisfying, but not much flavor there. I like my greens with a little kick of vinegar. They brought some house hot sauce out for the chicken dishes - if you get the collards I recommend using this and it elevates the collards a great deal. I was quite happy with them after adding the hot sauce. Crispy Brussel Sprouts - These come with a "spiced honey". I loved the flavor. It was a little sweet which I was expecting, but I didn't find them very crispy. Nonetheless, the flavor was excellent. read more

I've been to this Yardbird location once before a few years ago and I thought it was just okay. It definitely wasn't bad, but not outstanding either. Let me tell you, that all changed with this trip. My husband and I sat at the bar and had the BEST time. Both the food and service were outstanding! I wish I could remember our bartender's name because he definitely deserves a shout out. He made me what is quite possibly the best espresso martini I've ever had in my decade of legal drinking. Everything we ordered from drinks to food to dessert were incredible. I especially loved their take on fried okra. I'm eagerly awaiting my next trip to Las Vegas where you can be sure I'll be dining at the Yard Bird bar at least once! read more

Amazing!!! Not a fan of fried chicken so I was avoiding Yardbird for a while. That is until I showed up 7am for a breakfast!!!

Restaurant is actually huge although it doesn't look like it from the outside! Very lovely experience!!! read more

Hands down amazing food and cocktails My husband and I were leaving town and wanted to have breakfast before we had a 4 hour drive. We sat at the bar, and the bartenders were super attentive and friendly. My cousin and I had espresso martini's that were delicious and the men had a neat pour of Old Forester president choice. Mind you this is at 9am. The bartenders had lots of knowledge with all the bourbon they had, which kept our husbands busy. My cousin had a breakfast burrito and I had the fried chicken sandwich, both had so much flavor! 5/5 Also the water here didn't taste like all the other tap we had at the other bars and restaurants we went to in Vegas! Wouldn't mind coming back again! read more

What a good "Birthday Month" lunch. Hers close to the beginning and mine a few weeks in of July we basically celebrate most of the month between the two of us. We made a 12 pm lunch but had to push it out a bit and over the phone they were more than accommodating. We showed up to find our favorite waitress here JC was not on shift which was a big miss but the waitress we had was very good as well. We started with the bacon jam deviled eggs that were good as always. She had a chicken sammie and I had the 1/2 a chicken and a side of Mac and cheese. Both were great. They brought us nice birthday treats on the end. Another satisfying Yardbird experience. read more

We'll definitely be on our hit list next time we visit Vegas. read more

Southern comfort food is not a cuisine that I eat often, so it was nice to check out Yardbird. Through their website, I was able to easily make a reservation. When I arrived, I was seated fairly quickly, within about 5 minutes. I ordered 2 main dishes and 1 side dish to share with my partner. This was more than enough food for the both of us. We couldn't finish everything because of the big portions. Crispy Fingerling Potatoes seasoned with pecorino, rosemary, and chives - these were buttery and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. A nice sharing dish. Lemon Basil Rigatoni cooked with roasted garlic cashew cream and market vegetables - creamy and savory. The lemon added a nice touch of acidity. This dish is lighter to eat than many other pasta dishes. Creamy Jambalaya Pasta with cajun cream sauce, andouille sausage, peppers, grilled chicken, and shrimp - tasted very rich because of the sauce. This dish had a mild kick of spice. I liked the smoky flavor from the sausage. For me, the biggest drawback about this restaurant is how loud it was inside as well as the lack of service. My partner and I had a difficult time hearing each other from across the table. Additionally, the staff were not attentive to us at all. One thing to keep in mind - regardless of your party size, there is an 18% gratuity automatically added to your bill, and the calculation is based on your total after tax (not an ideal situation). read more

Yardbird - Southern Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This place is located in Grand Canal Shoppes in the heart of Vegas. There is a full bar with seating and a decent-sized dining area. The staff there was very friendly, attentive and helpful. I liked that the bartender told me the gratuity was already added to my bill before giving it to me, so I did not add another full gratuity (which I have done before by accident). This restaurant serves some Cajun fare, including steak, fried chicken, ribs, salmon, jambalaya, and brisket. They also offer savory cocktails. I ordered Lewellyn's Fine Fried Chicken and got a Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade to wash it down. My food was ready really fast. It was hot, fresh, tasty, and delicious. My drink was really good too. I would recommend getting both. I really enjoyed my experience here and highly recommend checking out this small chain restaurant. I will definitely be back very soon. read more

Yardbird inside the Venetian was the perfect pre-concert stop before seeing No Doubt at The Sphere. We were on a bit of a tight schedule, and the service was fast, friendly, and totally on point without making us feel rushed. The warm and woody interior made us feel right at home. I had the deviled eggs and the fried green tomato BLT stacks, and both were delicious. The deviled eggs were a great starter, and the fried green tomato stacks were crispy, flavorful, and had just the right amount of pork belly, frisée (curled endive), and pimento cheese on top. My friend had the shrimp and grits, which were also a hit. The shrimp were enormous and cooked to perfection while the grits were creamy and delicious. Southern comfort food at its best. Great food, great service, and an easy choice before a show. Yardbird definitely helped kick off the night on the right note. read more

My partner and I had a reservation for dinner during our visit to Vegas and first impressions is that this restaurant is super LOUD. As expected though, full of customers and people walking by, it's the center of all the attention inside the The Venetian Las Vegas Hotel. It's nice to note that inside is quite the darker lighting so that was a nice tough to the vibes overall. We were seated immediately with a reservation and our orders were taken within 15 minutes or so. Staff here is pretty friendly but not anything over the top. Restaurant was super busy so it's understandable. At times, my partner and I did feel like we weren't even there. Food: Arrived pretty quick, was impressed with the presentation and how the staff explained each dish. -- Crispy Fingerling Potatoes ($15) -- Presented in a pot, this dish consist of Pecorino, Rosemary, and Chives. The potatoes were bite size, and a decent appetizer to start the meal, not too salty and not too overwhelming as well. -- Creamy Jambalaya Pasta ($38) -- Covered in Cajun Cream Sauce, Andouille Sausage, Peppers, Grilled Chicken, and shrimp, there's a bit of a spice that's in every bite, it just wasn't anything special. I had found some shrimp shells in my shrimp but it was manageable to clear out. Aside from that, portions are pretty standard so there's a plus on that front. For the price, I would choose another option. 6/10 -- Lemon Basil Rigatoni VEGAN ($28) -- Comes covered in Roasted Garlic Cashew Cream, and some vegetables, pretty opposite to the Jambalaya pasta, each bite was pretty flavorful and I thought it complimented the spicy flavor of the Jambalaya. Portions are pretty big as well but not as much as the other dish. Would order this again. 8/10 Overall, a solid restaurant with decent food, seems more of a brunch place so I'll see if my partner and I can revisit next time to try other dishes. It's quite loud to the point where I have to raise my voice quite a bit just for my partner to hear me. read more

Only go here when they're crowded or your fried chicken won't be good, actually it'll suck. We went for dinner and they were very busy. Fried chicken was amazing. Maybe the best I ever had. The breading had the most amazing crispiness without being too thick. We went back for brunch and the fried chicken was bad. It obviously had been sitting under a heat lamp for a long time, maybe days or weeks. The skin was soft and gross. read more

Oh this is where you go for comfort food!!! So good! We were here for lunch and order appetizers and had a nice tasting of the collard greens, cheesy grits, Texas Twinkie, BBQ and cornbread. The best bite was cheesy grits and collard greens mixed together. Then the Texas Twinkie was a jalapeño filled with brisket, wrapped in bacon with a nice bbq sauce on top. So flavorful and huge hit with everyone at the table. The service was great and as with most restaurants it was loud. This was at the location in Las Vegas and found out they have a location in Dallas so this is my next stop this week. We were so busy eating that I did take any pics but trust me, this is the right restaurant for comfort food. read more

Oh wow! I didn't remember my local Yardbird tasting like this! Does Vegas elevate their menu?? I has the fried green tomato stack... just to take the edge off before dinner. Wow!

Yardbird - FRIED GREEN TOMATO BLT - Southern Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We had a $65/day bfast credit for our room at the Palazzo, so we decided to use it here. We had no problem meeting the $65 credit. First of all, I ate the salmon avo toast while I waited for the chicken & waffles. The toast was very good w/ lots of fresh avo. However, it was ridiculously overpriced @ $27 w/ only one slice of bread. On the other hand, the chicken was nicely brined, fried and seasoned. The price was high @ $44, but more reasonable considering it fed two people. The bartender was cool & attentive. He made sure there were utensils in the take out bag. Regarding the ambiance, its large here w/ a Western motif. I'd return to share the chicken, but I'm not sure about the other items. The prices are high vs the portions. read more

I normally like to get good reviews when we go to places experience food, Service, and ambience. However, we were outstandingly blown away how accommodating Nate was. I got stuck on a car in my coffee got cold and he immediately replaced it. I haven't seen with quality service like this in a long time especially a place like Vegas, which is so busy. I want to highlight the service and post to feed was outstanding great place for families. read more

Got seats the at bar when I got there, servers were nice but seemed overwhelmed maybe, with how busy it was because they only checked in once. I did manage to order one appetizer and drink but didn't get an opportunity to try anything else. Ordered the deviled eggs and they tasted pretty good, lots of dill flavor and tons of egg yolks, but it wrecked my stomach like 20 minutes later. Not sure if they weren't fresh but I would not order it again. It was also freezing at the bar. Other food looked delicious like the chicken and waffles and the popcorn shrimp and I heard the fried green tomatoes are yummy too. Nice convenient location. read more

We stayed at the Pallazo and this spot was walking distance... we decided to try it and were very pleased . The place was busy on a Saturday morning but we did get seated about 10 min after walking in. Our waiter was really sweet and greeted us immediately. The food was good and fresh. I tried the fried chicken and waffles . My husband has ranchero eggs, he didn't care much for his plate. Some pros were service , food and ambiance. Some cons were they add 18% automatically, they do ask if you want them to remove they will ... but I mean who's gonna say yes ?! Kinda awkward. Also the host ran into the bus boy and they spilled milk all over him ... overall I would return only if I was nearly I wouldn't go out of my way. read more
