| - Sometimes you walk into a restaurant with exceptionally high expectations because a brief glance at the menu is enough to get the blood flowin down south. Most of the time that expectation would likely be met with disappointment after the meal's end. Not this time. No, the powers of Gordon Ramsey continue strong as the winner of his show Hell's Kitchen runs the kitchen as yardbird, at least as far as I know. So while it's not a GR establishment, it certainly lives up to the pedigree.
Fried Green Tomato BLT- house smoked pork belly, smoky tomato jam, frisée, pimento cheese, pickled lemon vinaigrette. Christ just orgasmic.
Skillet Cornbread- vermont sharp cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapeño, honey maple butter. You won't find better corn bread anywhere out west.
Crispy Chicken Pepper Jelly Biscuits- could've used more pepper jelly but still delicious.
Chicken 'n' Watermelon 'n' Waffles-honey hot sauce, chilled spiced watermelon, vermont sharp cheddar cheese waffle, bourbon maple syrup. The fried chicken is dope...the syrup I could eat with a spoon.
Shrimp 'n' Grits- seared shrimp, roasted tomatoes, virginia ham, nora mill grits, pbr chicken jus. It is heavy, it is rich, it is coma inducing, it is sexy.
This place really is the pinnacle of comfort food you could possibly find in vegas. It is elevated southern food it is delicious southern food and there is truly no reason to have a decadent heavy meal anywhere else in the city.
A top five eatery establishment in the city from my experiences, Yardbird is a must visit.
