Talk about southern charm and hospitality. We heard about Yardbird from a friend who lives on Maui. While deciding on a new place to eat, my husband remember chicken and waffles in Vegas. I quickly turned to Yelp to look up chicken & waffles. The Yardbird came up as one of the search results. We knew it was on the Las Vegas strip and in either the Palazzo or the Venetian. Since we were already on the strip watching a show, we figured to get dinner after. I made my reservations online and it was as simple as that.
When we got out of the show, we realized that I made the reservation a little later than expected. Thankfully, they had an earlier time that I changed via online and we didn't have to wait. While walking to our table, their bar area is very cute and resembles an open concept living room. After being seated at our table, our server was quick to greet us. He gave suggestions and advised of house specialties and gave us a few moments to review the menu. [Word of caution - majority of their specialty cocktails include some type of whiskey.] After a thorough reading of the menu, we both decided on the Chicken & Watermelon & Waffles and also the classic buttermilk biscuits. While waiting for our food to arrive, I noticed the mason jars with flowers as the table centerpiece. Simple and quaint. The light fixture in the main dining room was also decorated with mason jars around the light bulbs. I really find comfort and joy in the simplicity of southern décor.
Our food and the biscuits made their way to our table. The biscuits were so warm and soft. The whipped butter and homemade blackberry jam enhanced the taste of the biscuit. Each piece of chicken (wing, thigh, breast, and drum stick) was coated with crispy goodness. When you bite or cut into the chicken, you can see the juices ooze out. Definitely not a dry pieces in the pile. [Word of advice: eat the breast piece first] The waffle was truly amazing especially when you pour the bourbon syrup in each little square and let it get soaked up. The watermelon cubes were an interesting touch to the dish. Each cube is infused with spice. It is an acquired taste. I am not a big fan of watermelon so it wasn't my cup of tea.
We were beyond expanded after dinner and could not enjoy a taste of dessert but we did have room for coffee and bailey's. Nice way to end out night with a night cap and games.
I would recommend Yardbird to locals and visitors of Vegas. Especially if you are staying at or near the Venetian!
