| - If you have a fried chicken craving in Vegas, come cure it at Yardbird! We've eaten at the Miami Beach location, so it was a no-brainer to come here for some fried chicken!
We showed up without a reservation around 6:45pm and luckily did not have a wait at all. For dinner, we shared the BBQ pork belly, house-cut fries, mama's chicken biscuits, and I also had a small side farmer's salad.
The pork belly was good -- it is served with a sherry apple glaze and some pickled salad. Make sure you have a bite of everything together. It's got a great flavor. The fries are my favorite!! Paired with a buttermilk dipping sauce and bacon bits... you would be crazy not to order these! Mama's chicken biscuits were good. In Miami Beach we had the chicken n' watermelon n' waffles, so we wanted to try something different here. The chicken was decent, but this is definitely a smaller "sharing" portion. There are two little sandwiches -- so you might want to consider ordering more to share or getting a larger entree depending on your hunger levels. When we saw the watermelon and waffles getting delivered to other tables, we were regretting our decision. The farmer's salad is decent to eat alone if you feel like you need a bit of greens in your life like I did. (Greens, an egg, and a smoked onion vinaigrette.)
Turns out for us, the biscuits were a good idea because we had some space for dessert. The fried oreos with oreo ice cream was amazing!!! It took a little longer than expected to arrive, but our server assured us that it was made to order. 3 oreos, breaded in rice krispies, and fried... served w/ oreo ice cream and chocolate. OMG. I was so happy! Save space in your belly to order this!!!
Our server, Courtney, was very attentive and checked in on us multiple times. We had a great dinner at Yardbird before flying home!
