| - Being a fan of San Francisco Peninsula's Dinah's Shack, now closed, I always compare their fried chicken to all others. While the fried chicken at Yardbird isn't the same, it's definitely superb and delicious in its own right. FRIED CHICKEN! WOW! If you are first-time visitors, I recommend that you order it.
We found Yardbird by word of mouth, then Yelp, then by searching the location out. It's on the strip in the Venetian. It takes time to negotiate the streets to the Venetian parking and then the long walk in. But, it's worth it. I highly recommend this place.
We ordered not only the chicken (we specified dark meat and we got it), we ordered enough side dishes to last us a couple of later lunches: Macaroni & Cheese, Skillet Cornbread, Southern Caesar, Green Beams with smoked yogurt, and roasted carrots. All of these were delicious and had us leave stuffed, but very happy.
We dined in front of windows, by the bar, that looked into the dining room (a beautiful room) and the kitchen. Next time, we will try to make it into the large dining room, as it looked fun.
Enjoy!
