Love Yardbird in Vegas, but I live in Cali and had to try it here. Would give a 10 out of 5 stars if I could based of Habiba's service alone! The food was alone incredible. I will definitely be back! Thank you Habiba! read more

Tommy and Shujana are the absolute best !!!!! I couldn't ask for better service! We will definitely be back as usual. read more

10000/10 brunch, absolutely blew me away. I ordered the Gravy Train biscuit sandwich and it was unreal. Every bite had so many flavors, perfectly balanced, and the biscuit itself was insanely buttery and soft easily one of the best I've had in LA in a long time. My husband got the steak & eggs with a side of hashbrowns, and it was just as impressive. The steak was cooked perfectly, everything was well-seasoned, and the whole dish felt really balanced. Definitely a spot worth coming back to. read more

The atmosphere here is spot on: great music, beautiful decor, and the place is noticeably clean. From the kitchen's side, the food was timed perfectly. My boyfriend ordered a hot chicken sandwich and a bloody mary. I got fresh orange juice, steak, and eggs. Everything was cooked perfectly, but it seemed deliberately unseasoned, likely to cater to a wider range of tastes. I'll definitely need some hot sauce, salt, and pepper with that! The homemade honey hot sauce is a hit with us. However, the experience lacked a certain "human touch" on the service side. After our initial order, our server essentially disappeared. Sitting in a booth made it difficult to flag anyone down. The nice busser was the one who boxed my food. The rest of the staff seemed professional, but the wait staff coordination could use more warmth and attentiveness. read more

I visited this location over the weekend after starving myself all day and from beginning to end it was just bad. We were seated near the window and it happened to be really windy and the window kept banging and knocking hitting me on the side of my arm. I stopped the blonde bald waitress and asked her if we could be moved because of it and she just stared at me with her jaw dropped? I got someone else's attention because she clearly wasn't interested in helping us. We were moved and finally got to order, I ordered the hot honey "JUMBO" wings, Mac & cheese & the dirty rice. "JUMBO" wings were small party wings & actually smaller than expected, they were grilled, not fried, very dry. Mac & cheese was dry and flavorless with a cheap cheese sauce. Dirty rice was an instant no! They definitely don't know what dirty rice is because this was nothing but Spanish rice with a fried egg on top & completely flavorless. Everything was disgusting and I'm honestly not even saying that to be mean. I can't believe how bad this place has become. read more

We went to Yardbird for their happy hour. They have quite a few small bite options and some tasty drinks on their happy hour menu. Our server was really polite and checked in on us regularly. My favorite item has to be their Nashville chicken satay. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender and delicious on the inside. The seasoning in the sauce was subtle but yummy. I got their hot honey sauce on the side, and that paired very nicely with the crispy chicken. The lemon pepper chicken wings were honestly not super flavorful, but they were very hot and fresh which I appreciated. I really enjoyed the biscuit on the chicken biscuit dish, but the meat itself was pretty unremarkable. Portions were good for the price. All the items were freshly made and came out piping hot. read more

The Best Bar Service in LA! I've been to Yardbird at the Beverly Center several times for their incredible fried chicken, but my most recent visit at the bar was on a completely different level. If you're looking for a spot where the drinks are stiff, the food is soul-warming, and the service is world-class, head straight for a barstool. Here is why the bar team at Yardbird is the best in the game: Exceptional Hospitality: From the second I sat down, I was greeted with a genuine smile and a glass of water before I even had to ask. The bartenders here are true professionals--they are fast, attentive, and somehow manage to make every guest feel like a regular, even when the place is packed. The Bourbon Knowledge: If you are a whiskey fan, this is your heaven. The bar staff is incredibly knowledgeable about their massive bourbon selection. I told the bartender what I usually like, and they steered me toward a small-batch pour that was absolutely perfect. Craft Cocktails: You have to try the Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade. It's refreshing, perfectly balanced, and looks like a work of art. Watching the bartenders work is like watching a performance--they take their craft seriously, and it shows in every sip. The "Bar-Side" Dining: Eating at the bar is actually my favorite way to experience Yardbird. The staff paced my meal perfectly. I never felt rushed, but my Yardbird Cinnamon Roll and Lewellyn's Fine Fried Chicken arrived hot and fresh exactly when I was ready for them. Great Vibes: The energy at the bar is infectious. It's upscale and stylish, but the staff keeps the atmosphere fun and unpretentious. It's the perfect spot for a solo dinner, a pre-movie drink, or a lively night out with friends. Pro Tip: Ask about their private barrel selects. They have some unique expressions you won't find anywhere else in Los Angeles! Huge thanks to the bar crew for making a random weeknight feel like a special occasion. I'll be back very soon! read more

Although our waiter was very attentive and helpful, the service was a bit slow. It took quite a while to get our drinks and appetizers. The drinks were very tasty. I really enjoyed the blackberry lemonade cocktail and the peach bourbon cocktail. They come in sizable jars, so very fun. I ordered the St. Louis ribs. This dish does not come with a side, so I ordered crispy brussel sprouts on the side. I really liked the ribs. They were soft and had quite a bit of meat on them. It is a large serving, so I had plenty to take home for the next day. The brussel sprouts were okay, but a bit too sweet for me because they had a honey drizzle. I prefer a more savory taste for my brussel sprouts. I really liked the buttermilk biscuits that came with butter and an apple jam spread. I m still dreaming about those. The deviled eggs had a bit too much dill - it was a bit overpowering for my taste. This was a fun restaurant that I would love to go back to and have the biscuits again. read more

I just got finished with retail therapy and I wanted to grab something to eat. I ordered the Great American Wagyu burger w/truffle fries. I also ordered a southern peach cocktail. The burger was huge, I really liked the pickled veggies in the side. The fries were also really crispy. The cocktail was good too. The staff here is very nice. The place gets pretty busy though so expect to wait a lil bit for your food. Try it out if you like. :) read more

The restaurant seemed unorganized and understaffed on Mother's Day. Parties with reservations were waiting more than 30 minutes for their table while walk in were sat almost immediately. Popular items such as biscuits and regular coffee were out or delayed. Orders arrived staggered so you're already full by the time it gets to your table. Customers were looking around at other tables with a confused look. I would come because the food is good, when available, but not during a holiday. read more

I had an amazing experience at Yardbird! The cornbread arrives in its own mini skillet, warm, fluffy, and lightly kissed with jalapeño--absolutely delicious. The Shrimp and Grits were a standout. The textures and flavors blend perfectly, and the shrimp were big, fresh, and cooked just right. The protein bowl is a fantastic healthier choice and makes an awesome next-day lunch. I chatted with the table next to me, and they had one of the biggest burgers I've ever seen--the Wagyu Burger. Three patties, bacon, cheese, an egg, and who knows what else. The presentation was wild, and they said it tasted amazing. I'd recommend a reservation, but the restaurant is pretty spacious. Depending on the day, you might be able to walk right in. The vibe is trendy, casual, and lively. Just know you'll be sitting close to others--especially at the big shared table in the middle--so be ready for a fun, energetic atmosphere. Service - 5 Stars! The support staff was on point--attentive, polite, and detail-oriented. Our waitress, Habiba, was friendly, patient, and upbeat, even when we couldn't decide what to order. Parking - Located at the Beverly Center. It's paid parking ($6-$10 depending on how long you stay). There is valet, but they closed at 10:30 p.m. the night we went, so just plan your timing. NOTE - THE PORTIONS ARE HUGE! read more

Yardbird at the Beverly Center delivered a seriously satisfying meal with bold Southern comfort flavors across the board. The food was phenomenal and tasted indulgent in the best way, even if the prices definitely remind you that you're dining at the Beverly Center. Every dish felt rich, well seasoned, and thoughtfully prepared, and the service was excellent without ever feeling stuffy. I also liked the relaxed, comfortable vibe, which made it easy to settle in and enjoy the meal. Being able to immediately walk it all off with a lap around the mall afterward felt like a very practical bonus. read more

Yardbird - Southern Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Oh, how I wish I could remember the name of the hostess who also was our server. It was a Sunday morning, 10:30 a.m. She reminded me of CoCo from SWV. Amazing human being. She was so kind, so thoughtful, and so personable. We wanted a quick meal prior to boarding our afternoon flight; we were in town for our anniversary and marked anniversary as the reason for our brunch visit. We were not expecting anything to highlight our 13 years of marriage, so imagine our surprise when our hostess told us happy anniversary, led us to a spacious booth, and presented us with a sign that said Happy Anniversary. Cute! The food was fresh and flavorful. We need a Yardbird in the SF Bay Area! The restaurant has a great bar area with TVs, so this is a good place to come with friends or watch a game. We tried the fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, gravy train biscuit sandwich, and the macaroni and cheese breakfast skillet. Job well-done, Yardbird! Everything HIT. The deviled eggs? FIRE! Those fried green tomatoes? Crispy, not mushy, and perfect. My gravy train sandwich was filling, and excellent. The gravy was creamy, the egg was cooked the way I liked it, and the fried chicken reminded me of my dad. Basically, Yardbird took all of my Southern family favorite and elevated them. I'm a fan! read more

First of all, they offered reservations for Mother's Day which is spectacular!! We were seated promptly and in a very comfortable booth. The space is beautiful and the atmosphere was very relaxed but upscale. Tommy and Shujana were super friendly. The food was amazing! We ordered the huevos rancheros, shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles and lobster mac and cheese, it was all so good, we all shared it in the group. We ordered the cinnamon roll, and it was huge and so tasty. Not overly sweet, just perfectly delicious. They handed out Gerber daisies and a card to the moms which was a really nice touch. Parking was only two dollars!!! Had a great experience and can't wait to go again. read more

We enjoyed a lovely brunch at Yardbird! When we arrived, the hostess acknowledged our reservation and our preference for a booth, which she kindly accommodated. Our server came shortly after to take our drink order and offer some recommendations. My husband chose The Great American Wagyu Burger. I picked the Shrimp & Grits Sunrise Bowl. We then decided to add the Yardbird Cinnamon Roll to share. Our food came out quickly. Nice presentations, good portions and so, soooooo satisfyingly delicious!! The Shrimp & Grits were ah-mazing -- fluffy grits and tender shrimp accompanied by smoked sausage, roasted peppers and sweet corn, all topped with a perfect sunny-side egg. It's the best I've had. Ohhhh and that HUGE cinnamon roll -- I mean...c'mon...look at it -- YUM!! Service was great all around. Parking is available at the Beverly Center, but we found street parking just a short walk away. We will definitely be back! read more

Had been to Yardbird before and never reviewed the restaurant. Happened to be at the Beverly Center the other day and was definitely feeling like some chicken, so we walked over to Yardbird in the afternoon for a little lunch. It was around 5pm, so not too busy, and our party of four was seated immediately. Water was brought over and we ordered drinks. We ordered the Toes in the Sand, Southern Peach and Watermelon Sling. The Toes in the Sand is like their version of a Mai Tai, very flavorful and refreshing for a hot day. The watermelon sling could have been a little more watermelon forward as it needed a little more punch of flavor. The southern peach also felt muted, probably from the tea component. But that toes in the sand was delicious. Would recommend! For food, we ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken, the Lewellyn's fine fried chicken and the great american wagyu burger. To start, all of the chicken is delicious, cooked perfectly, super juicy and moist inside. The Nashville hot chicken has a carolina reaper rub, but that heat component really isn't prominent. I felt it would be hotter, but it is definitely easy on the palate and does not overpower the flavor or the chicken. The fine fried chicken is just that, fried chicken. And the wagyu burger sounds amazing on the menu, and looks amazing on the plate, but there is a lot going on with each bite, maybe a little too much, to where you feel overwhelmed eating it. Is it tasty? Sure. But I feel, in this situation, less would be more. Overall, great place for chicken and that TOes in the Sand cocktail was great. If you are looking for some southern fried chicken, it is hard to beat Yardbird. read more

Style over substance. Everything looks amazing, but the only thing that was delicious was the fried green tomato BLT appetizer. Everything else was lacking. And for the price, we were very disappointed. My wife and I had heard pretty good things about this place and I had a $25 InKind credit, so we decided to make it a lunch date. The service was friendly and attentive at the beginning, and we asked for her recommendations. She highly recommended the Backyard BBQ plate, so I decided to give it a try. I'm not sure if she knew she recommended a bad choice, but towards the end we had to flag her down for enjoying. Sauce, water refill, check, etc. All scores below are out of 5: Fried green tomato BLT - 4.5 - great portion, smoky pork belly was a flavorful addition, and excellent texture. $18 Big Easy Shrimp and grits - 3.5 out of 5 - shrimp was seasoned well, but the grits were seriously lacking flavor. We had to add lots of garlic butter and hot sauce to make them edible. $36 Backyard BBQ - 2 out of 5 - I was shocked at how bad most of this was. The only thing I really liked was the corn. These are the components: Alabama white bbq chicken had no flavor, no char, and was very disappointing. St Louis ribs had a weird sweet flavor and I couldn't even finish them. Sausage was one of the bright spots, bursting with flavor but on the salty end. Burnt ends were DRY!!! I could barely chew them and left those on the plate. Corn on the cob was buttery and tasty. $45 1 bottled Coca Cola - $6 Total after tax and tip was $130.24. After my InKind discount I still came out at $105 for this mediocre lunch. read more

Deviled Eggs were Great! The fried chicken is always good. But for some reason they changed the shrimp and grits! We were totally confused and surprised! Our server failed to tell us! That dish is now a 100% Fail! Service was kinda of slow after spending well over $300 to walk away disappointed! I don't understand why you would change a successful dish and put a lot of ingredients in it that people don't like? We actually sat outside on the patio I was warm and the traffic noise was a little annoying but we like it out there! Please don't change anything else Yardbird read more

***This review is only for their happy hour*** Not a large selection, but plenty to choose for their happy hour menu. The Disco Fries reminded me a bit of poutin, the Cajun popcorn wasn't too spicy, and the dip was nice. Texas Twinkie was not what I expected based on the description, but I quite enjoyed it, though the burnt ends inside the jalapeño was a nonevent. Drink selections were also generous; I just had some wine and aperol, and I was certainly tipsy at the end of the hour. The entire place looks quite cute, but heads up, happy hour is only at the bar area and the lounge. Park at the Beverly Center and pay a small fee for convenience instead of lookin for street parking. Take the escalator on the La Cienega side. read more

We came here for dinner after seeing the Titanic display at the Beverly Center. We knew it would be expensive but that would be okay but....the grilled salmon I had was delicious but was so, so small of a serving that it wasn't worth the $34 charge. Others at our table loved their food but also felt the portion was smaller than expected and one couple ordered a salad as they originally were going to split a meal. Brian was a good server and took care of our table, so that was good. One other thing to be aware of...when you get your bill it's on a handheld, and you can scroll to see the cost. However, if you don't scroll all the way down you don't realize that there's a 22% gratuity already on the bill. Two of the people at our table didn't know that and added an extra 20% and didn't see that until the actual receipt was printed out. Will we go back? Not sure but if we're in the area we mightas the food was good and now we know the way they do things. read more

Yardbird - Grilled Blackened Salmon Filet (and a pieced of chicken from my wife's order) - Southern Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had the chance to grab lunch at Yardbird recently. The restaurant wasn't busy on a weekday. Shrimp & Grits (4/5) - This entree came with 6 perfectly cooked shrimp over two scoops of firmer grits. There were also cheesy corn and grilled bell peppers. Fried Chicken & Waffles (5/5) - This was a huge entree which is best shared between two people. The dish comes four pieces of perfectly fried breast, thigh, wing, and drumstick. The waffles paired well with the maple bourbon syrup. I didn't enjoy the seasoned watermelon. read more

The drinks were good, but the food just didn't seem fresh. More like frozen and tossed with seasoning. Just not a win for me. read more

It's been awhile since I've been back to Yardbird at the Beverly Center. Yardbird serves classic Southern fare in a chill atmosphere and they do it very well. I had their Deviled Eggs to start. These eggs are very popular and nicely presented. It was a bit heavy on the mustard but still very tasty. For the entree, I couldn't resist their chicken and waffles. Whoever created this food trend was a genius. The chicken thigh was nice and juicy and the waffle with the sweetness from the bourbon maple syrup actually complimented it well. The portion size at Yardbird is fairly generous. My soul was definitely comforted with this delicious Southern cuisine. Service was very good. The staff was attentive without being annoying. Yardbird is located on the corner of 3rd and La Cienega in the Beverly Center. Parking is in the Beverly Center parking lot and at the mall parking rates. Yardbird does not provide any parking validation at the mall. I was fortunate to find free street parking off 3rd Street. read more

Yardbird - Cup Chicken Tortilla Soup, happy hour margarita :) - Southern Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Service was fine and the restaurant is a nice space, however the food is really mediocre, especially for the price (think overpriced business meal/expense report type of place). Apps: We started with the deviled eggs with dill, chives, and trout roe ($16 for 4). The filling was generous and well seasoned, but there was only one trout roe on each deviled egg. Technically the menu didn't lie, but it's wild to feature roe as a main element of the dish and use just ONE roe! Barely detectable. Entrees: the shrimp and grits ($36) were the "best" dish of the evening - the grits were creamy and cheesy, but the shrimp was a little overcooked, ultimately fine/not worth the price. The bbq plate was the most disappointing ($48). 2 ribs, 1 skewer of 3 burnt ends, 1 chicken leg quarter, 1 sausage, and 1/2 corn cob. For the price, I was expecting either something smokey and flavorful or at least more generous. This was neither. All the meats except the chicken were dryyy and slathered in sauces that just weren't very good. I won't come back, but if you're visiting, just go for happy hour (at the bar only), otherwise I really can't see this being worth you time or money. read more

I had such a great experience at Yardbird overall. The only downside was being moved from a comfortable high-top table to the bar area just to access the happy hour menu. It was a bit disappointing especially since we were celebrating a birthday and the restaurant wasn't crowded. That said... let's talk about the food! Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was a 10/10. We started with the popcorn shrimp from the happy hour menu, and it was absolutely delicious. I ordered a margarita and the Steak Frites with truffle Parmesan fries and a side of Brussels sprouts for dinner. That combo was so good, it nearly put me to sleep lol. read more

VISIT: I went there for brunch. Parking was pretty good; only a short walk from the structure which is good for the area. We arrived at approximately 12:25 pm. The original reservation was for 11:45 am. Traffic was heavy, so I called the restaurant, and a representative was very polite and changed the reservation for me as I received an error when I attempted to change it on the open table website/app. The ambiance did not disappoint. DISHES: Ordered Grilled Blackened Salmon Filet, Shrimp & Grits Sunrise Bowl, Biscuit French Toast, Gravy Train Biscuit Sandwich, and a side of Mac N Cheese (the IG photos had us excited). Loved the French toast. Overall the food was barely mid except the chicken with biscuit... that was FIRE. I would only go back to try something else on the menu to give it another shot. SERVER: I don't recall the server's name (Asian Female), but she was great at explaining the menu items and helping us decipher. She provided great recommendations on champagne/mimosas (we chose to get a whole bottle. SERVER OPPORTUNITIES: While the server helped us choose our meals, she also WENT LEFT and started carrying on EXCESSIVELY about the pride parade and visiting West Hollywood, and the LGBT parade, and how to get there, and why we should go, and why we should take our kids, and how she took her dog with her to the parade and trying to sway us into going to celebrate PRIDE and LGBT. -- While she has the right to her personal life, I felt it was a bit much to be trying to sell LGBT events while we did not come for that. I tried to bring the conversation back to our food and she just kept trying to sway us to keep talking about reasons we should affiliate with LGBTQ and its events. HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE: As a customer, this soured my experience overall. It also made me take a step back from enjoying the food. I decided to end the visit earlier than planned. If I did go back, I definitely would NOT want the same server. If she was there, I would avoid her personally. I would want to enjoy my meal and not have my brunch conversation infiltrated by a propagated topic from my server. -- If I could help it, and in my opinion as a consumer, a server is best driven by trying to serve and represent the best that the brand can unbiasedly put forward. Brand should be represented by all employees, not personal ideals, and opinions, especially a sexual oriented or political topic. And, as a consumer since as consumers we often are not aware if feedback is taken into any measure of account, my recourse is to reconsider returning or visiting at a time where that particular server is not working. Thanks for listening. read more
