| - Considering I'm a Southern, I love Southern food! It was nice to see a southern kitchen restaurant. From the time we walked in to the time we left, they definitely know "southern hospitality". The service and the food was good! We got there around 10:20 AM on a Saturday morning and this was the perfect time. As we were leaving around 11:55 AM it was packed and a line to get in. I would definitely recommend going closer to when they open on the weekends if you don't want to wait. Even getting there early, we had a 10 min wait. While we waited they allowed us to sit in the lounge area and were very accommodating. They got us drinks and whatever we needed. I will also say they are a little on the pricy side. For lunch for 2 meals (Shrimp & Grits and Chicken & Waffles), 1 side of Grits, 1 appetizer (Deviled Eggs), and 1 drink (Peach Lemonade) and including tip it totaled out to be $119.
We started by ordering a side of Grits for our baby girl and the Deviled Eggs. The Grits were good and had a great flavor. They definitely tasted homemade. The Deviled Eggs were awesome as well. I thought I wasn't going to like the Roe on-top at first, but I couldn't even taste it. If I did I didn't notice it. The cream of the eggs was good as well. It was a little thicker than what I am used too but it was bad. It was more of a stiff consistency than loose, but overall a good taste.
I ordered the Shrimp & Grits and my husband ordered the Chicken-n-Waffle-n-Watermelon. My dish was pretty good. It wasn't the best Shrimp & Grits I have had but it wasn't bad. The sauce or "roux" was different but good. It wasn't a creamy onion and pepper based roux that I am used too. It was more like a thick broth. It had good flavor though. The Shrimp was cooked pretty well, but lacked a little in flavor. They could of used a tad more seasoning.
My husband's Chicken-n-Waffle-n-Watermelon was pretty darn good! It comes with the breast, the leg and the wing. It was full of flavor! The Waffle was a Cheddar Waffle but it was cooked perfectly. The Chicken was brined and then pressured fried to perfection. The skin had the perfect crunch. The chicken was tender and juice, including the breast. It was also served with a Bourbon Maple Syrup and Hot Honey Sauce. Both were amazing. This was honestly some of the best Syrup I have had from a restaurant. It was so flavorful and you could actually taste the Bourbon, it was definitely present. The Hot Honey Sauce was good and added a different flavor as well. The watermelon had a slightly spiced taste. It wasn't super spicy but just enough to taste and add a different component to the dish. It was good and different. I even stopped eating my dish to eat his with him. Lol. Overall, this was a well put together dish.
I also had their Peach Lemonade. Honestly, it didn't really taste like peach to me. It was also very sweet or syrupy. It was good but had a thick taste as far as texture. It basically felt heavy to drink, if that makes sense.
Overall, Yardbird was a great experience from start to finish. The food was overall pretty good and I would definitely come back again when I'm in an area that has one. I also want to come back for their desserts. Their desserts looked amazing!!
