Came here Saturday night. Had no wait around 7:45pm and we got sat immediately but that line definitely built up through the night and they don't take reservations. The outside patio had a jug you get your water from and a fan you'd see on your family's patio. QR code on the wall to order your food directly. The music was a vibe, i heard alot of Leon Thomas The outside area may not be the best for sound or the party next to ours just talks too loudly to have a convo. They were actually louder than the music. Not sure if this was them or the patio elements. They were actually louder than the music at times lol. The cornbread is a must with or without butter. The jerk chicken was good, sauce a little spicy for my taste but delicious overall. I'm sure no one else would call it spicy though lol. Wedges super fire might be the best I've had, crunchy, bigger than you'd expect under the chicken. They forgot my friend's doubles but brought them out soon after. She loves this spot and says that was rare Couldn't actually find a lightswitch in the bathroom I'm thinking this all plays into the vibe of the spot. The inside got overly packed where they said they may need to open the rooftop Just get use to the idea of no waiter coming up to u to ask if you're ready or how you're doing. They dropping off and going lol

I was a little disappointed with the drinks and meal. It's probably not fair of me to compare it to what I had enjoyed in New Orleans. The service was very good and friendly. I don't know that I will come back. I was intrigued by all of the five star ratings I saw but in my opinion it was just ok.

Loved vibe. The food was delicious and most of the cocktails were good. Weirdly, I had one piña colada that was great and one I asked them to blend some more it was so full of ice chunks. Needless to say that one was also watery. I'd definitely go again.

What are great experience! I've been hearing good things about Yardy's for a while now and we finally made it in. So glad we did! Everyone was soooo nice! The place was very welcoming as well. There were a lot of tables for groups and the place was packed when we went. Drinks were solid. I had a Cuba Libre that took me back to the islands. Julie had a Mamajuana Old Fashion that she enjoyed as well. The big surprise for me was the number of gluten-free options on the menu. It was easy to find lots of great options! We had the Jerk Chicken Plate and the Fried Chicken as well as any third dish that was served on a plantain that I can't remember the name. All amazing with fantastic spicing. Dessert was a seasonal sorbet that was popping with berry flavors. Overall a huge win. We'll certainly be back!

Made it onto the NYT top 50 restaurants in the US, hella hype, this place is great. Good but very soft music playing. Seating was cozy and lighting was sparse in a great way. The fried chicken and chicken sandwich were both insane. Opens at 5 and was packed by 5:30, who the hell is eating dinner at 5:30, that's how you know the place is good.

Creole crab over grits (this's the seasonal dish, so fresh)

This is a late review about our February 6 dinner! Chef Isaiah and crews never not be impressive, and be creative. We had both his new dishes, the satisfaction for our taste buds, my goodness, on a rare exceptional warm dry February Friday evening, we walked away so satisfying from our wonderful dinner into the first Friday art walk downtown crowd. Not to mention our back by the window you watch one of your favorite chefs in Eugene busy cooking, you call out and tell him how you love the two new dishes, the grin of his face's precious. Highly recommended.

Classic fried chicken sandwich

Loved the food - so flavorful and delicious. Interesting cocktails. We started with a plate of pickled vegetable, potato salad and smoked beets. Everything so tasty. For mains had the pork over beans and rice and a fried chicken sandwich. Both fantastic. I want to go back and try everything on the menu. Had to subtract a star for annoying restaurant set up- you start by ordering at the counter, which is a very slow process then you seat yourself. It took us maybe 15 to 20 minutes to get through the line even though the restaurant was empty with lots of open tables. Some people cheated and grabbed tables before they had ordered which I found frustrating. The water is self-serve. There is no waiter if you want to get more food you order with a QR code. To me it would make more sense to get rid of the ordering at the counter, just have a person seat you and then do 100% QR code ordering.

Updating my review as Yardy has since transformed into a full restaurant and bar! Yardy makes market-driven West Indian fare, meaning as a vegan you're going to enjoy the freshest local produce available. It also means the menu will slightly change seasonally, which is exciting. What started as a food truck has expanded into a full restaurant complete with a rum cocktail menu, indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the counter when you arrive, then seat yourself. Your food is brought to your table as it's ready, and most of the offerings are designed to be shared. As someone who enjoyed the doubles from their original food truck, that's what I had been craving most. However, I was thoroughly ready to try what else they had come up with! For small plates we ordered the jerk smoked beets which had so much flavor, and the doubles which comes with a chickpea curry over two pieces of fried flatbread topped with several tasty chutneys. For the main course we ordered the market curry plate which featured a variety of vegetables cooked to perfection on a bed of curry and aloo with a scoop of rice. Keep in mind there's some heat but not too much handle. Lastly, we tried a variety of cocktails. It does have rum bar in the name! I don't think you could go wrong but I loved the Fresa Coconut Cooler. Yardy is making something entirely different than what can be found anywhere else in town, and I love it. Plus, the building and the patio are so cute, you feel transported to another place. If you've been waiting to check it out, or haven't heard of it yet, get yourself there asap!

Sweet cornbread and pikliz

Came back here to try their red beans and rice, and a few other goods as well! I loved the sorrel punch cocktail - it was not overly sweet and felt well balanced overall. A stand out was the smoked jerk beet salad - AMAZING! I didn't love the red beans and rice, but being Cajun, I do have some preconceptions about what red beans and rice is meant to be. It was more bland than their other dishes and didn't resemble what I'm used to - and that's okay. My husband loved it. Will be back!

This place is real deal! We loved our meal at Yardy's!!! The process for ordering food is a little different than expected, but it works. You order at the counter to your right when you first walk in, then grab a seat in the dining room upstairs, downstairs, or outside and they bring the food to you. We tried the Jerk Chicken, Fried Chicken, and NW Snapper (aka Rockfish). Everything was phenomenal!!! The Jerk Chicken was super juicy/moist and delivered robust jerk flavors accompanied with a little bit of heat. The fried chicken was hot, crispy, moist, and delicious. Our friend ate the Rockfish so fast that I forgot to get tasting notes LOL! Each dish comes out as ready. All of the food came out super quick and piping hot! Atmosphere and vibes were super chill and casual. The background music played at the perfect volume level and totally fit the vibes. Staff was very nice. Owner was also super cool. Really down to earth. Yardy's has a very bright future and will be one of the most sought-after restaurants in Eugene. Definitely check it out!

I honestly don't know where to begin. This place truly is a diamond in the ruff. You'd never expect to come across carribean food in Eugene Orgen of all places, but amazing carribean food!? C'mon man. This food really did blow me away. The friend chicken was packed full of flavor. Juicy and moist on the inside, and perfectly crispy on the outside. That corn bread and butter was a trip to heaven with every bite. The red beans and rice tasted no different than how my Dominican friend's mom makes it. Coming across places like this is why I love being a foodie. The good here really is made with love. The service here was great. We were immediately greeted and had our order taken. You place your order, them sit down, then your food is brought to you. The people are really nice. We got to talk to the owners, and they are really great people. The ingredients are sustainability sourced, and a lot of thought and attention go into their product. The vibe here really is that of a carribean house/restaurant. I AM a carribean, and I felt like I was back home as a child, eating my mom's home cooked food. It's a feeling I can't describe. There is seating on the main floor as well as upstairs here. Make sure you get a seat before they all go because there was a little line forming as I left. The only critique I have would just be the portion of rice with the red beans and rice. Feel like a could be a bit more generous. Other than that, PLEASE COME HERE.

Anyway, my…read moreboyfriend and I got chicken yesterday, however we completely forgot neither $12-$13 item comes with fries! Let me give you a rundown of the menu, $12.75 for the 3 tenders, usually jumbo but yesterday they definitely weren't- and the sandwich is $13.50. The tenders are usually huge but yesterday they were regular size I guess. The fries are $5 each, and pretty much any side starts at $5 here. Honestly the food yesterday was kinda mediocre, the chicken wasn't breaded well and was falling off the chicken, which tasted bland without the breading and seasoning, the bread it comes with was super soggy, and the last piece of bread anyway lol. The sandwich was really disapponting, the chicken wasn't seasoned well at all. Each food item only came with literally 1 pickle which was odd. Also we were waiting for the food and I don't know if he ever even called our name but when my bf went to check on it, it had already been done and sitting there? Obviously we don't need to be chased down but if you're not busy and we're literally behind the stand, you could at least try to mention something? We both thought that was weird too, the service just kinda seemed off today, the vibes weren't that great. Overall probably not returning, almost $30 and we didn't feel the chicken was the quality it typically is, and we've been here multiple times before. Typically we spend closer to $40 though, for each entree to have the completed side as a meal, and honestly for 2 people and in this rising economy, that's too steep to chance it not being that good. Super disappointing, would love to support local and have good food but not willing to risk $30-40 like that again.

Plus they tasted a little freezer burned. When asked about the former... I prefaced the question and told him it might be a tough question to answer: "why are the wings so mushy?" His answer? They sat too long after they tossed them. Because they forgot one wing on my plate they sacrificed the entire batch. No one - NO ONE - wants to eat mushy wings. If you F up? (1) Re-make the order! Or (2) serve what is done and walk out the remainder when its ready. Its as simple as that! This manager shows his willingness to dismiss customers as "being a dick" when I just spent $25 on MUSHY WINGS. Albeit I asked a tough-loaded question... Rather than being professional, in so many words he said "its my standard to push out mushy wings and if you don't like them you're being a dick." Look man.... I dont come in here very often and would never want to order wings prepared that way. Please understand, I'll pay for good food no problem; but DONT SERVE ME SOGGY WINGS AT A WINGS JOINT.... And then act the asshole by calling me a dick because I pointed out the obvious... ! I'd give this place another chance because I cant imagine this standard being "normal" for a restaurant thats been open for so long.

I also got two boudin bites -- small battered balls of rice, pork & cajun seasonsins. Overall everything was pretty good and flavorful. The tenders were not too spiced and went well with honey-mustard sauce. The red beans & rice reminded me a lot of Popeyes, and the jambalaya had chunks of chicken & pork. The boudin bites were decent with a nice little spicy kick. The biscuit definitely delivered with the rich honey butter flavor. It was a bit decadent. They also offer a blueberry biscuit. The person working there was very nice & helpful and even offered me a small sample. And the prices were just right. The next time you get that Popeye's craving, it's worth stopping in here.
