The food was great and the service was spectacular. The staff was attentive and professional. Staff went over and beyond to serve our party! Jenny Jones really made things smooth in reserving party and answering all questions I had leading up to the event. I can't the mangers and head servers name but they were excellent in fulfilling our needs. Thank you for making our event specia! read more

My husband was commenting about how he'd love some chicken and waffles, but can't have it since acquiring gluten intolerance issues. I googled gf chicken and waffles and Yardbird came up. Man, was it delicious! My husband was so happy with his Texas Twinkie and his GF chicken and waffles, very grateful for a wish fulfilled on his 50th birthday! read more

The food is always fresh, high-quality, and satisfying. Without question, I will be returning again and again. read more

After booking a Bourbon tasting, we decided to sit and enjoy a fabulous meal during our 24 hours in Dallas. This restaurant did not disappoint! We started with buttermilk biscuits, deviled eggs ( both the classic and jalapeño& bacon jam) and skillet cornbread. The entrees : chicken and waffles , shrimp and grits and a porterhouse with sides of : fried okra, collards, Mac n cheese and salad. We ordered a few cocktails as well , and oh my my ... the firecracker in the patch was 100/10! Strong lol. We truly enjoyed our first time here and look forward to coming back in a few months ! read more

We visited Yardbird in Washington DC the first time. We knew going to Dallas for the long weekend we would absolutely be visiting the Dallas restaurant. Is it a bit pricey, yes but we don't splurge like that often, so worth it to us. The food did not disappoint, I had the Nashville hot chicken. Extremely tasty! We also tried the monkey bread, so good. However, our server Mac made everything better than it already was. She was great! An amazing waitress and an all around nice person! We will absolutely visit again and will certainly ask for Mac! read more

Met some friends here for brunch while we were all visiting Dallas. Like many places in this area (Arts district, near downtown district, Deep Ellum), parking can be tricky. If you look closely, there is a sign on Pearl Street to a parking garage for the businesses in these buildings (Perrys, la Madeline, Yardbird). Take a ticket and head down to level B2 to park. Bring your ticket with you so that it can be validated by your server. The interior of the restaurant is beautifully warm and elegant. We started off with the skillet cornbread. It was corn kernels and jalapenos in it, topped with some whipped butter. The portion size of the chicken and waffles is definitely meant to be shared (or for someone who is extremely hungry). It's half a chicken (4 fried pieces) and a full-size waffle -- comes with a watermelon feta salad. The shrimp and grits were extra buttery and topped with a fried egg. The crispy brussel sprouts have a hint of sweetness and smoky char flavor. And the creme brulee waffles are 4 mini waffles, topped with a custardy filling and a torched sugar topping. It was surprisingly not overly sweet as we expected. read more

This was a top spot truly enjoyed our brunch experience. OMG the food was delicious and the service was also awesome. I will remind you that this is a little expensive so if you come here, be prepared to drop some big dollars. I think we had three people in our party two adults one child and our bill came up to $300. However, the food was all well worth it and this is a great treat and the portions are very large and fulfilling enough to take home so overall top-notch you can't go wrong here. read more

Overall: 3.6/5 [dine in] We had a party of 9 for Sunday lunch and the service was a bit slow with the food taking a while to come out. The place is beautiful though and was giving elevated casual vibes. Lewellyn's Fine Fried Chicken ($40): Comes with half a bird, mashed potatoes, and a side salad. We swapped the mashed potatoes for crispy brussels. They weren't very crispy but had a generous amount of spiced honey glaze that made them sweet and yummy. The side salad was good. The fried chicken itself was just okay though. There was a lot of meat, and it wasn't dry but the flavors were lacking and the skin wasn't as crispy as I was hoping. I ended up eating mine with a lot of hot sauce. Deviled Eggs with Jalapeno and Bacon Jam ($18): Pretty average. The bacon jam leaned too sweet and overpowered the eggs so you lost any savory flavor. Smoked Sausage ($9): A huge sausage link cut in half with incredible flavor. My friend let me try her sharp cheddar waffle and it wasn't bad but just too subtle for me. It did taste better after air frying it since it crisped up on the outside. Yardbird Hashbrowns ($10): A bit pricey but worth trying at least once. Two thick slabs of hashbrowns that were super crispy and looked and tasted completely different from your typical hashbrowns. Perfectly seasoned too. The dipping sauce was the only miss since it just didn't complement them well. My husband and I shared, and the food was very filling so we had leftovers. read more

We went for Sunday brunch due to a recommendation from a family member. Apparently, it was a very off day. 1)We asked to sit inside since it was hot outside. After being sat, we commented how stuffy it was...later we we told it was due to broken air conditioner which had been an issue the last couple of days. 2)It took a bit of time for our coffee and they didn't bring gingerbread snaps with coffee (would not have known this if I hadn't been told about it from someone who had been there). 3).staff informed us the crème brûlée waffles were delayed as they had to Re-set" them 4) again...asked for coffee several times but did not get it from our server 5). We ordered 2 of chicken and biscuits, (one with scrambled eggs other was sunny side up), we received one with the scrambled eggs other and an incorrect breakfast sandwich 6. We sent back sandwich and got the other chicken and biscuit with egg cooked incorrectly. Gravy was heavily salted on both 7. Again, refills on coffee were not provided even after requesting. So, what went right... 1). Chicken was crispy and great 2) crème Brûlée waffles were decadent 3) shrimp & Grits great gluten free option 4). Didn't have the lobster Mac & cheese but table next to us said it was good and great presentation 5). Coffee was good when we got it and little ginger snaps were tasty 6.). Manager met with us when we asked to speak to her, she was pleasant and comp'd one meal and gave us a coupon for 15% off our next visit It's a bit pricey but I'm willing to give it another try. Nice ambiance jut too hot. read more

Yardbird is situated in the heart of Dallas, within walking distance of some of Dallas' main attractions. We stopped in for a brunch and were pleasantly greeted by the host. The interior is spacious, fun, and modern, with a fantastic looking bar. Our server explained their specialties and frequently stopped by to check on us and fill our water. We started either the biscuit donut bites, which were generously dusted with cinnamon sugar and had a fantastic chocolate dipping sauce! My fave plate was the server rec of chicken biscuit sliders. The biscuit is delicious, fluffy, and moist. The chicken was AMAZING!! Super juicy with a great flavor. The brine in the chicken was fantastic. Fries were hit and perfectly crispy as well! read more

I stopped by Yardbirds yesterday after going to the Big3 basketball event downtown with friends. The ambiance at Yardbirds is amazing. It's a southern upscale vibe. Our server was attentive and on point. We started out with a cool nonalcoholic beverage on a hot summer afternoon, the Passion Fruit Breeze. It was the perfect blend of passion fruit with a hint of basil and lemon and topped off with ginger ale. We decided to share family style rotisserie chicken, hot chicken, green, Mac and cheese and deviled eggs. The hot chicken was the best. It really wasn't too spicy but had a nice flavor. I really wasn't sure about the rotisserie chicken after seeing it, but it was actually tasty. It's not as good as the hot chicken but it is good. The rotisserie chicken comes with blackened green beans. Those green beans were delicious. They were spicy but not too spicy and very delightful. The greens were the best side. The Mac and cheese was basic and I would not order it again. The deviled eggs were ok. Overall Yardbird is still a great option and go on open table to book reservations. read more

Stopped in again with my son today for lunch. Like always the place has an amazing ambiance great for a date or girls night out. For lunch there plenty of seating and no reservation is needed. We were greeted by our server almost rapidly and he quickly brought out water. Not long after placing our order or lunch entrees came out and was so enjoyable. Tons of flavor and very easy to consume most of the food in a matter of minutes. Lol. It's just so good. Can't wait to get in here again. read more

Delicious food. Amazing happy hour. Nice patio. Great location. What more do you want?!? I stopped by here for happy hour with a friend and we had a great experience. Their happy hour deals are actually legit! I loved their cocktails and that they don't skimp on the fancy ice or barware just bc it's during happy hour. Their food is actually tasty and the patio is set up nicely for some good people watching. The location is also super close to downtown, uptown, and Klyde Warren park so it makes for a great meeting point before / after events. The old fashioned was tasty and the popcorn shrimp and wings are can't miss items. Highly recommend yardbird and it does not give off chain vibes (I've been to another location in Miami and they have one in Addison also I believe). read more

I hadn't been to this location in years, and it didn't disappoint now that I've returned. Food was good- chicken and waffles: better than the average find around town; greens: very tasty; mac and cheese: ehh, not bad, but not my fave; biscuits: delicious with the apple jam as always. (I've been to the Vegas location more than the Dallas location) The server was nice and attentive. I'll visit again sooner than later. read more

I would definitely say yes, come here and enjoy yourself. Happy hour till 6pm. read more

Location -9/10 right off the highway and close to Kyle Warren Park so if it were earlier in the day, the kiddos could play before or after. Service- 8/10. Speed if service was great. However there was not a ton of "checking in". When you're sitting close to the kitchen and several water glasses need to be filled, it makes a customer feel unnoticed. Our order was taken quickly and the food came out expeditiously and piping hot. Food portions 10/10 - Chicken platters were expansive. The four pieces and watermelon with a couple of sides literally fed me, my wife and my six year old son. Food quality- 9/10 Everything was really good. Well seasoned and served hot and fresh. The only ding was that the Collard Greens were too salty. Price 8/10- given the fact that many portions were large, it might be worth offering smaller portions for lower prices. But hey, that might be their business model to feed you and give you enough to take home? This is my second time to this location and I have been to other Yardbird restaurants in Las Vegas and Miami. I'm a fan of the restaurant and it is an easy place to give most people plenty of variety. I'd recommend for a small or a large group. Our group of nine (9) was easily accommodated and there was not a single complaint from our crew. Would I visit again? Absolutely! read more

Met with family & friends who were in town for the weekend. When I called to reserve a table which was highly recommended, I was informed due to the size, I needed to put a credit card of file and if we cancelled (as it was less than 24 hrs) I would be charged $25 per person!! Needless to say, we didn't make the reservation and just walked in at 2:30 in the afternoon and literally the place was empty. We were seated immediately and I wish I had gotten the servers name because he was AWESOME, as he asked what we usually like to drink to make drink recommendations as well as made sure that my water glass was always full. We opted for drinks & appetizers, I got the blackberry burbon lemonade however I subbed out the Jim bean for crown, we got the cornbread, the wings (that come with fries), both of the deviled eggs, the BLT, and the Texas Twinkie (happy hour portion). My family member also ordered the shrimp & grits. Personally I loved my drink, I loved the wings, I liked the BLT, everyone liked the cornbread, the eggs were okay, and the Texas Twinkie was my least favorite. My family member said the shrimp & grits were okay, she even mentioned sausage in the dish. There is valet parking - I believe it was $5 - there's also a parking garage where they do validate, and there is street parking but I would suggest one of the other options. Would I come back . . . I would and I will. read more

I have been to Yardbird before, but I think this was the first time since I started my pescatarian diet. The decor is very chic and all the staff was super friendly and helpful. Also love that they comp parking in the parking garage. Our waiter went above and beyond, to make sure I had something good to eat. Andre helped me tweak the chicken and egg sandwich and we switched it out for salmon. I also got a side of their spiced watermelon. It was amazing! I also had some of my friends fried green tomatoes. I just took off the bacon. It was the perfect little bite. Andre also helped my friends and kid with their food selections and answered all of our questions. I also got their smoke on the water cocktail... At first I was a little nervous because it came in a bottle, the bottle was very cute by the way, but can I tell you this drink was hitting! It had the perfect amount of smoke when it came out of the bottle and the flavor, if you like cinnamon and a whiskey, this is the drink for you. My only complaint was the hash brown. It was pretty and it was crispy but it lacked seasoning. And maybe because I ate it last, but it was cold and hard to cut through. I added some hot honey hot sauce and pepper and that helped. Overall, my meal was very good and service was amazing. I will definitely be back. read more

Loved the ability to make a reservation through Open Table. Being in downtown, parking was easy and signage eas great for the garage. Immediately greeted upon entry to the restaurant. They validate your ticket so don't forget to ask. Bryant was our server. He did a great job and checked on us often. Ordered the deviled eggs as a starter. Very good. Had the chicken and waffles and shared it because it was a half a chicken. Delicious! I ordered a side of their hashbrowns because those were pretty good from our last visit. Loved it all. read more

A fun spot! The food is yummy! But I'll be honest my deviled eggs did not taste fresh. They actually tasted like they were made and maybe putting in a refrigerator and brought out later but they still were fantastic but I could tell they were not fresh. Everything else was amazing. My breakfast was amazing. The location is amazing right across the street is downtown Dallas, where you can walk around and sightsee have a picnic but the restaurant itself the food was great and the deviled eggs were great too. They just were not fresh fresh. If you know what I mean. read more

We celebrated my daughter birthday at Yardbird, on June 24th 2026 and unfortunately, what should have been a special evening was ruined by the service we received from our waitress, Jayda C. From the moment we were seated and she greeted our table, her attitude came across as rude and unwelcoming. The entire meal felt rushed. She brought out our appetizers, but then immediately took away our appetizer plates, leaving us with nowhere to put our food. Throughout the rest of the meal, she rarely checked on our table. What made the experience even more disappointing was watching her provide attentive, friendly service to the table behind us. She regularly checked on them, boxed up their leftovers, and made them feel valued as guests. When it came to our table, she simply handed us takeout boxes and bags and expected us to package our own food. We have dined at Yardbird several times before, and the staff has always boxed up our leftovers, so this treatment was unusual and disappointing. Another concern was that an 18% gratuity was automatically added to our bill. According to Yardbird's policy, that gratuity is typically added for parties of six or more. Our party consisted of only three adults and two children--a total of five people. We were never given an explanation for why the gratuity was added. The difference in how our table was treated compared to the table behind us left us feeling uncomfortable. While I can't know the reason for the difference in service, it certainly felt as though assumptions were made about us before we were ever given the chance to show otherwise. Our family always tips well for good service, and had we received the level of hospitality we've experienced during previous visits, Jayda would have received more than the automatic gratuity. This experience was especially disappointing because it was my daughter's birthday dinner. We've always enjoyed Yardbird in the past, which makes this visit stand out for all the wrong reasons. I hope management looks into this so that no other family celebrating a special occasion leaves feeling the way we did. read more

Food was fantastic! Sat at the bar before dinner Meg was so sweet & never let our water glasses get below a certain level. She was on fire! The guy bartender was good too. Very attentive.

Probably one of the most expensive fried chicken places I've ever been to, so of course had to try the fried bird. I ordered the Llewellyn half chicken which came as four golden pieces of chicken. On the side are mashed potatoes and a side salad. The mashed potatoes were fine - on the gummier side than fluffy unfortunately, and the side salad was very savory and could have used more acid to provide freshness to offset the fried chicken. The fried chicken was good! Decently crisp despite the reviews on here but not crunchy because the batter is thinner and not super craggy. My dinner mate ordered a charcuterie board which comes more on a tea-tower, multi-level type contraption which included all sorts of dips and sausages. She devoured it by herself and did not need my help. (I didn't want to help her anyway ;) Probably not a destination spot, in my opinion, but if you find yourself traveling to Dallas on the company dime, sure, come through. read more

Had a wonderful experience at Yardbird on a Friday night in Dallas. Weather was beautiful, sat outside on patio enjoyed the food and company. Server was wonderful, he mentioned he was leaving- but all in the same, excellent. Friendly, warm and helpful. Food was outstanding, Nashville hot chicken and mac n cheese as well as the Wagyu burger! Ordered all as it comes, and excellent. The Ranch dressing should be bottled and sold!!! Beyond amazing! Price is $$$ little too pricey, but was delicious! Sides are single serving or 1.5 and almost $20 for a side is a bit much! Classic margarita for $21 is crazy as well! read more

It was such a special day for my son as he proposed to his girlfriend of two years, and choosing Yardbird Table & Bar made the celebration even more memorable. Although they could only accommodate 20 guests, the staff went above and beyond by allowing our additional guests to make separate reservations and strategically seating everyone near our main party. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. The hostess was incredibly understanding and accommodating, even seating our party a little earlier after I explained that we needed to be seated before my son entered with his soon-to-be fiancée. Their kindness and professionalism truly meant a lot to us. Our waitress handled everything with grace and composure, even while clearly managing a very busy evening. She did a phenomenal job, and everyone in our party was satisfied with both the service and the food. Excellent service, amazing atmosphere, and an unforgettable experience overall. If we ever host another special event, Yardbird will absolutely be at the top of our list! read more

This place is such a vibe! The location is in the heart of downtown Dallas with a parking garage located right across the street. The entrance can be a tad tricky and require circling the block a few times, but it's super convenient and the restaurant validates! There is outdoor sweating, but the interior is just chef's kiss. Their Caesar salad was such a unique take on a classic, and they weren't wrong when they said they're famous for their fried chicken! The service was also fantastic and our waitress made sure we had an excellent experience. read more
