This is one of those restaurants I get excited just thinking about. It was the best meal of my trip to Vegas.
I heard about Yard Bird from a friend who recently ate at the one in Miami. He highly recommended that I try it and I am so happy that I did.
We started out with the house Bloody Mary. JalapeƱo infused vodka is what makes this one special, it's spicy, but not too spicy. Served in a mason jar and garnished with a lime, stuffed olive, picked green bean, pickled okra and a slice of bacon. It was a delicious mini meal in itself.
For appetizers we tried the fried green tomato BLT and the deviled eggs. Both were delicious! Really enjoyed the BLT!
For the main course I had the blue plate special which is two pieces of fried chicken (probably the best I have ever had) watermelon and a biscuit. Oh that chicken is good! So tender it almost falls off the bone.
My friends had the crunchy chicken sandwich and a chicken salad sandwich. They too loved what they ordered and said they would order it again!
We skipped dessert, but there were some pretty great looking treats on the menu. I will be sure to try one next time.
Yard Bird is a little pricy but I think it's worth every penny. Our server was Iris, she was fantastic and took very good care of us.
Enjoy!
