If you haven't been here yet, you have to try it!! We were visiting town and looking for close restaurants to grab a bite to eat, this restaurant was just in walking distance a few blocks away. The menu was overwhelming but in a good way, so many options that sounded so delicious. However, it was a weekday so i inquired about them having happy hour, which they did but they didn't initially give us the happy hour menu when sitting us down. The happy hour specials and prices were just too good to pass! We truly enjoyed every single food item we ordered, which is quite rare for me and my husband. I am still dreaming about their macaroni and cheese. Trust me, try this restaurant! read more

The food was excellent. Great ambiance, though it felt like an ice chest in there. Bring a jacket if you're cold-natured. Food (1-10) 10 the best Appetizers - Honey Biscuits (10) - Hot, fluffy, and the strawberry preserve made me have a flashback moment to my Grandma's house. 1) Chicken & Waffles (9) - Hot, crispy, & moist especially the breast. Seasoned well enough but the honey hot sauce added that extra kick. Waffles were fine and the watermelon cubes did not work for me. I observed several other people's plates, and most of them did not eat them. 2.) Braised Short Ribs (9) - My wife's favorite. "Lord have mercy." The meat was so tender, seasoned and the mashed potatoes underneath were spot on. Great dish 3) Salmon - (8) - Good, a family member main course. They were raving about it. 4) Brussels sprouts & Fried Okra (10) - Both were in a small cast-iron skillet. If you're from down south you know what that means. Hot, crispy, and seasoned to perfection. Somebody on the Sous-chef line knows exactly what they are doing. Service - (8) Friendly & attentive server. Now they automatically tack on 18% gratuity and ask for an additional tip. Also, the sales tax is ridiculously high. Not knocking the hustle but I don't want anybody to be surprised. read more

The fried chicken here is so good that it has gotten me free drinks at another bar. I brought one of my boys the Llewelyn's special and the combination of his hunger and how finger licking good Yardbird's signature dish is that I've earned his undying gratitude. The Deviled Eggs appetizer slaps and the bread pudding dessert are must orders. There's a varied selection of beer, a crazy wine list, and after a full meal the Penicillin had me seeing stars. Afterwards I had to take a walk on Lincoln Road. I put Yardbird in my rotation for special celebrations because it never misses. So should you. read more

This brunch spot is definitely on the higher end when it comes to pricing, but the quality absolutely matches it. You can tell right away that they use fresh, high-quality ingredients in everything they serve. The trout deviled eggs were such a unique twist on a classic -- creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with that subtle smokiness from the trout. The green tomatoes BLT stack with pork belly were a standout too. The tomatoes had just the right amount of tang, and the pork belly was rich and crispy, creating an amazing combination of textures and flavors. Even the salad wedges felt elevated, crisp, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared rather than just an afterthought. Overall, it's the kind of place you go when you want a more refined breakfast experience. Yes, it's a splurge, but the freshness, creativity, and quality make it worth it. I'd definitely come back for another special brunch. read more

Yardbird Table & Bar - Southern Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Yardbird Table & Bar delivers a standout blend of Southern comfort, warm hospitality, and a lively, modern atmosphere. The restaurant's signature fried chicken is every bit as good as its reputation--perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. One of the highlights of my visit was the deviled eggs, which strike that ideal balance of creamy, tangy, and indulgent. And the watermelon Arnold Palmer was a refreshing surprise, bright and not overly sweet, pairing perfectly with the richness of the meal. Overall, Yardbird nails the experience: great food, great vibes, and thoughtful touches that make the visit feel special. read more

There's a reason people say that the Yardbird Table & Bar has the best fried chicken, and we got to experience that excellence for a fantastic Thanksgiving meal. To start, the ambiance of the restaurant in general is kicking. Everyone from the bartenders, servers and other patrons are smiling and having a great time. The energy is light, fun and in a sense, feels like home. And to boot, the cocktails and food are chefs kiss. The manhattan was absolute perfection. Skillet cornbread = fire. And 100%: Order the fried chicken, with or without the waffles. Either way, you will not be disappointed :) We will definitely be coming back to try more of the delicious dishes, next time we are in Miami! read more

My husband really likes this place, it was my first time. The staff was all very pleasant and the place was clean Everything we ordered was very good. Watermelon mojito was chef's kiss. The fried chicken and fish n chips were delicious. Our waitress was very kind and they offered a complimentary birthday dessert for my husband. I've had better mashed potatoes and coleslaw but other than that, I would definitely come back again and try other things from the menu. read more

Since we stopped in Miami before a cruise, we decided to try Yard Bird. Sadly, they were still serving brunch, so that's what we had. The location is nice, on the corner with a large sign, so you can't miss it. Clean look and lively music. Unfortunately it was full on a Sunday morning, so the only seats were outside. We didn't have a reservation, so I can't blame them. I'm glad we were able to be accommodated on such short notice. Our waiter was great. We were waited on and served quickly. I ordered a drink and the crème brûlée waffles, which came with a side of strawberries and whipped cream. It was great for a rather warm day. I wish I'd had the appetite for their famous chicken and waffles, though the actual waffles had slight burnt bits, but after coming off a long flight, I was more interested in sleeping than eating. Maybe next time, though! read more

Came here for the Power Lunch, which I expected to be a quick, budget-friendly option. Unfortunately, service was really slow even though the place was nearly empty on a Friday....maybe two or three tables inside and a couple outside, including ours. Appetizers came out quickly, but our entrées took almost an hour. Not sure why it took that long for a sandwich and wings. Gratuity is automatically added, which might explain why the service felt just "okay"....not bad, but definitely not great either, really just "okay". On a positive note, the mango sorbet at the end was a nice touch! read more

Wow. What a surprise to walk into this place on a Friday evening, around 6:30 and find it nearly empty'. I used to live across the street in it's heyday and would see the lines that would begin at 4. Yesterday, we went to the bar to get 2 drinks before the show. To say that thay the service was slow is an understatement. Thank goodness we had cash. So beware. They had plenty of staff, but our drinks sat empty for (yes, I started keeping time) over 15 minutes. read more

It had been over 5 years since my last visit. So, I was excited for some fried chicken and of course their supper appetizers. We ordered fried green tomatoes layered with delicious toppings. They were superb. Of course we also ordered what I call country biscuits. No one makes these biscuits better than Yardbird! Sadly,I ordered the 38 dollar lewellen's chicken. I Found it to be boring and tasteless. If this chicken is worth 38 dollars than Publix chicken is worth a thousand! read more

Yardbird is a beautiful establishment with a vibrant atmosphere ,the addition of a live DJ was such a nice touch and really elevated the overall vibe! I went with a few solid recommendations from fellow Yelpers, and I'm glad I did. Lewellen's Chicken was absolutely delicious ,a bit over seasoned and but cooked just right. Still a true standout! The All-American plate had great potential with a fun concept, but a few things missed the mark. The greens were a lovely, homey touch, but the bacon was unfortunately extremely hard with an off, inauthentic flavor. The sausage didn't quite impress either. The Shrimp & Grits had great flavor and was a solid pick, though I personally would've loved a creamier, cheesier texture to the grits. Just a small tweak away from greatness. Appetizer wins: the Fried Green Tomatoes were crispy and delicious, and the Bacon Jam Jalapeño Deviled Eggs were bursting with flavor ,definitely recommend those! Service-wise, Edwin did a great job attentive and polite. The person who brought out our food, however, could benefit from a bit more training on how to handle questions or concerns. That said, the front desk hostess was warm, welcoming, and truly personable. All in all, Yardbird is worth a visit for the ambiance and standout dishes, but at this price point, I'd expect the entire meal to feel more consistent and satisfying. Use less salt. read more

Nice brunch restaurant to visit. The placeis clean and has nice decor. When you first walk in you will be greated my a friendly host. We didnt have a wait so we were seated immediately. Our waitress was pleasant. My only advice would to be more attentive. We had to constantly ask for refills, silverware, condiments and etc. We ordered the skillet cornbread, hold trinity hash, fried chicken, mac n cheese, and smoked brisket rancheros. Everything was good. The fried chicken was a little on the dry side but besides that it was ok. Nothing spectacular. I would visit again just wont be my first choice. read more

Always a great time. The service, ambiance and food is always good. The chicken and waffles is it. You have to try them. I get this dish every time I go and I love it. It's a large portion so you can definitely split the meal. They offered a free dessert and it was fire. read more

Another great meal at Yardbird! I never pass up the opportunity to dine at Yardbird whether it's Texas, Vegas, or SoBe. This time around, it was during Art Basel weekend and I happen to be celebrating my birthday. We made reservations online and were quickly seated when we got there. From welcome to goodbye everyone was superb. My favorites are the cornbread, classic deviled eggs, wagyu burger, and the waffles. The avocado toast and chicken and waffles were good too. There was a DJ playing soft Caribbean and 90s R&B which set for a cool vibe. Food, drinks, fun table, and great service made for an awesome birthday brunch. read more

I need to tell you about this experience because I'm still processing how disappointed I am. I loved Yardbird in Vegas, I celebrated my-birthday there and I loved it. So when I saw there was a Miami location, I was genuinely excited. It turn out to be a horrible experience. On one not so busy evening, I sat at the bar, ordered a glass of beer and told the bartender I was ready to order food. I was waiting for quite some time before the food finally arrived. However, when the food arrived, I had no utensils to eat it with. The bartender finally realized and she gave me the utensils. I ordered Big Easy Shrimp & Grits - $36 + tax (one of their "classics"). All the shrimps were burnt, dry and hard. I did not want to send the food back because honestly I started to not trust the service here. When I finished the food, I was trying to find the bartender and asked for the bill. She seemed not ready, but I needed to use the restroom so I asked another server where it was. When I stood up, the bartender shot me this suspicious look like and she made a comment but another server explained to her that I needed to go to the restroom. She seemed to think that I was doing a dine-and-dash. Seriously? The bill came, and 18% gratuity was automatically added, which maybe explains why nobody seemed motivated to provide great service? For $36+ for one dish, plus automatic gratuity, plus terrible service, I expected SO much more. This experience has me questioning whether I'll ever go to another Yardbird location anywhere. The Vegas spot set the bar high, and Miami absolutely demolished any goodwill I had toward this restaurant group. When the food doesn't match the price and the service makes you feel like a criminal for going to the bathroom, something is seriously broken. Save your money. There are too many amazing restaurants in Miami to waste it here. Would not recommend. Would not return. read more

It's been no less than 4 years since I last dined or had drinks at Yardbird. Selected by a friend who visits once a year, we got a reservation and were quickly seated. The Hostess was amiable and courteous. Our server, Paul, was professional and amusingly conversational. Opening with some of their fruit juice/ice tea mixes to accompany biscuits and chicken biscuit sliders. We were off to a great start. Various mains delivered quickly. Lobster Mac n Cheese is decadent and hearty. It's quite tasty and loaded up with a 1-ish pound lobster. The cheese is thick and gooey over a chunky fusilli. In my opinion, too much dish for one person. Likely better as either a table starter or shared. The short ribs are a perfect personal plate. A generous square of braised beef over mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy. Seasoned perfectly; slow cooked so that it falls apart with no need for a knife. Chicken n waffles is a notorious mainstay. Too much tasty fried chicken and crispy waffle - leftovers are inevitable. Caesar salad with fried chicken is uncomplicated, but served with chilled crisp lettuce. A safe but excellent call. Party of 4 shared a house key lime pie with fruit. It's rare to find a key lime pie with the right balance of crust, tart filling, and not too sweet. This was exceptional and an ideal share. Ambiance is party variable. Subtle lighting bordering on dark. Party of 2 is romantic. But, 4 plus is a fun atmosphere. Pricing is on the higher side, but SoBe competitive. A great restaurant for a party celebration. Still one of the best of the beach. read more

Right near lots of places and a good atmosphere to enjoy a conversation. The food was good as we enjoyed a few apps, the blt stack and cornbread. Ordered a variety of dishes and I'm bummed I missed the rib presentation. Clearly best dish. Chicken was good but needed a little more temperature. Brisket sandwich and fries were solid. And the wedge salad and baked potatoe was a good mix. Key lime pie capped the night. Check it out. TVs in bar and I guess there are other locations around the world. Who knew! read more

Love that this place is big, with ample seating both inside and out! Southern food with a bit of a twist - I'd say it's all elevated :) We were seated quickly but were sad to learn that they no longer offer lunch specials as they used to. My cousin and I ordered the BLT fried green tomatoes which were delicious and uniquely done. The presentation was lovely and the flavor was delicious. We also got the caesar salad, which was good but nothing out of this world. I think if I were to get it again, I would ask for extra pickled grapes (it came with two total, sliced in half haha) which made the salad stand out! Lastly we got the brisket sandwich with truffle fries. It looked pretty big, but the bread was like smashburger hamburger style where once you grabbed it, it flattened which made the dish smaller than it looked. To be honest, I preferred the sandwich without the sauce it came with! Overall the meal was good, but it was definitely pricey considering the portions weren't huge. Definitely a good place to come back with a group because there's a lot of room! read more

Disclaimer that I am a New Yorker so I expect things Food: Chicken Biscuit Sliders - very juicy chicken with a sweet/spicy chili jam. picked vegetables on the side help cut the fate of the dish Biscuits and Gravy - must get! very delicious meal. the chicken was juicy and the gravy was creamy. I loved that they put down the gravy first so that you don't lose the crunch from the chicken! Apple Cobbler - cold. I was expecting a warm dish. the crumb was warm but the apples were cold. it was a nice semi sweet treat to go back to. The sliced apples made it a beautiful dish but it was difficult to eat. its better eaten with a fork. On to my next adventure... read more

Okay, yum. I had a little staycation on South Beach recently and after an afternoon of perusing Lincoln Road, I stopped at Yardbird for a late lunch/early dinner. They were still serving their brunch menu when I stopped it - and I had such a hard time choosing (I definitely need to come back to try the cinnamon roll, shrimp and grits and the mac and cheese). I sat at the bar and had fantastic service by Ricardo; he was great at giving me recommendations for food and drinks. When I said I was contemplating the fried green tomatoes, he let me know I could order just one, instead of a full order - which was such a win! And they were delicious - the only thing that made me sad is that you can't just order the pimento cheese with the bread basket! For my entree, I tried their signature fried chicken - which is something I definitely don't usually order - and it was so juicy, and crunchy, and flavorful. Literally delightful. I also completely ate the simple salad and the mashed potatoes and gravy that came with it. I tried three of their lighter, fruiter cocktails and they were all delicious and clearly made with such attention to detail. I definitely want to come back for dinner to try some of their more booze-forward cocktails! For now, I would recommend the Toes in the Sand, Sippin' on Trouble, and Lime and Dandy (it tasted like a key lime pie, but without being too too sweet). And finally, while I was stuffed, I grabbed dessert to go - and opted for their banana cheesecake pudding - and yum. Served to-go it was a bit deconstructed - but definitely didn't take away from the taste. Ultimately, I fantastic place and I can't wait to return with my husband, so I can try more items on the menu! read more

Yardbird was such a hit with my friends! Everything we offered was rich and decadent. My friends' favorite were the creme brûlée waffles, but I wish they had a little more filling. I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken and egg sandwich and mac and cheese though! They are known for their fried chicken and I 100% understand why. The chicken was perfectly crispy and moist inside. The Mac and cheese was also covered in a thick layer of quality cheeses. The thicker noodle absorbed a lot of the cheese, which made every bite taste heavenly. read more

I booked a reservation for a friend's birthday after seeing all the great reviews -- Yardbird is known for its Southern comfort food, especially the fried chicken. Here's everything we tried: * Deviled Eggs: Creamy, flavorful, and a perfect start. * Chicken & Waffles: Absolutely delicious, served with sweet honey hot sauce and bourbon maple syrup -- chef's kiss! The side of watermelon felt a bit random and unnecessary, though. * Lewellyn's Fine Fried Chicken: Classic crispy fried chicken. It was a bit dry, but still tasty overall. * Slow Roasted Beer Can Chicken: Yes, I ordered more chicken -- and this one was worth it! Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. * St. Louis Ribs: My favorite of the night! Tender, juicy, and falling off the bone -- a MUST-order. * Mac & Cheese: Creamy, cheesy, and comforting. * Southern Street Corn: Another must-order -- packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. * Bourbon Bacon Chocolate Cake: Rich, decadent, and big enough to share. I highly recommend Yardbird. The food was fantastic, and I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu. Portions are generous, so come hungry! read more

Yardbird Table & Bar - Deviled Eggs - Southern Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

We have been to the Yardbird in Vegas, we have recommended the Yardbird in Vegas. So on a recent visit to Miami we decided to go casual. The first misstep is the high top tables ACROSS from the open kitchen is not a "chefs table" so we opted for outdoor dining. After 8 minutes I went in to ask of someone was working the section. They assured me yes there were waitstaff. After being passed by the same man 3 times with no acknowledgment, my husband went in to say we were leaving and would they tell the manager. The hostess turned her back on him. So he asked to speak to the manager. When she arrived, she did not address him so he started talking. She did not even acknowledge that we were upset. Terrible customer service. Just acknowledge that they were wrong. That's it. "I am sorry you experienced that in our restaurant." Do some training Yardbird! read more

Yardbird Table & Bar - Shrimp & Grits Sunrise Bowl - Southern Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Yardbird in Miami Beach was a pretty big letdown for me. We ended up here because the reviews were strong and it was nearby while we were walking around Lincoln Road Mall in the rain. It seemed like a safe choice, but it did not live up to the hype. The food was underwhelming. I ordered the creamy jambalaya pasta and it was surprisingly bland. For a dish that should have bold, rich Southern flavors, it just fell flat. My wife got the chicken and waffles, which were decent, but nothing special. We have definitely had better versions at less expensive, more low key spots. The pricing makes it even harder to justify. This is positioned as an upscale Southern restaurant, but the food does not match that level. Service was also disappointing, especially for Miami where service is usually a strong point. It felt a bit inattentive, and to be honest, we got the sense that they were not too happy about us coming in with young kids. Nothing outright rude, but the vibe was definitely off. Overall, I would give it 2 out of 5. Not terrible, but far from what you would expect given the reputation and price point. There are way better options in Miami to spend your time and money. This one just did not deliver. read more

I was in town for an event and stopped by here for brunch. I didn't have a reservation and they were busy, but they still got us seated promptly.

Yardbird is always a favorite of ours, and last night was no exception. We kicked things off with a killer gin cocktail with pineapple, and the cornbread starter was just the right sweet-savory note to begin with. My husband ordered the Low & Slow Brisket Dip (smoked brisket, caramelized onions, Swiss, roasted garlic aioli, horseradish cream) with truffle fries, and I had their Crispy Chicken Biscuit Sliders, plus sides of mac and cheese, southern street corn, and crispy Brussels sprouts. We shared everything so we could try a bit of all the flavors. Every dish was fantastic. We seriously couldn't finish a single dish (except the Brussels--they were small, charred just right, and delicious!). If Yardbird keeps this level of flavor and service up, we'll always be back. read more

Dear Lord, that food was amazing. As broke college students, we were lucky to go during lunch hour and get a 3-course meal for a reasonable price. The deviled eggs were addictive, and I'm still craving the BLT stack. I love good fried chicken -- and let's just say, only bones were left on my plate. I do wish I'd gotten a bit more chicken, though. My friend and I compared plates, and she definitely had more than I did (or maybe I'm just big-backed ). The service was a little lackluster compared to the rest of the experience, but overall, I left happy and satisfied... could've left happier, though.. read more

I completely enjoyed my dinner at Yardbird. For starters the decor and lighting is just perfect. I didn't have to squint to see the menu but it was easy on the eyes just the same. We started off with apps. We sampled the fried green tomatoes with pork belly, the Texas twinkie and the hot collard greens with artichoke dip. For mains we had the mac n cheese, crispy brussels, chicken n waffles, bbq plate and the protein bowl salad. Everyone loved their meal and recommended the restaurant to friends.

I haven't had chicken and waffles since before I found out about my non-Celiac gluten sensitivity. It's a saving grace that this restaurant offers a gluten sensitive friendly version.
