| - Finding this place is just one of the reasons why I love Yelp! With over 2k yelp reviewers and a near 5 star rating I had to check this place out. More than happy that I did. I took my whole family and we had such an amazing experience here! From the ambience, the service, and the food! Omg, the food!!! All around outstanding! Came here near lunch peak hours- noonish and with a party of 9. We didn't make any reservations, we just came. Hostess was very pleasant, led us to sit in the lounge area while we waited. I was expecting a long wait since we had a big party, but not even. About 15-20min. But all the while we had 2 different people tell us that they were working on a table for us which was nice to know they didn't just brush us off aside and forgot about us. While we waited I had a chance to sit and admire the ambience and decor. I love the trendy farmhouse theme. Tasteful wood Barndoors, lanterns.. love it! Everything was spaced out so well that even being so crowded it was comfortable. When we were finally brought to our seating area we were all just amazed... just delightful. We were walked into our own private what felt like VIP room. Long dining table, classic movie stars like Elvis flashing on a mirrored projector, whiskey cabinet display on one wall, wine cellar displayed on the other. What an amazing room.. all for us to enjoy privately.. how did we get so lucky!?!
Right away we were greeted by our awesome waitress. She went over the menu with us and some recommendations with food and drinks. There were so many items I wanted to try based off my fellow Yelpers photos that we decided to dine family style so we can try everything. Now let's talk food....
-Chicken n' Waffles n' Watermelon $36 (5/5 stars)
The whole dish was perfection. Ginormous serving size. Chicken was brined and fried, drizzled ever so lightly with a honey glaze. Crispy, moist, flavorful.. absolutely delicious. Waffles... what the heck is in that recipe! Seriously the best waffles I've ever had. I kept biting and dissecting, wonderful flavors were just kicking on the pallet. Vermont cheese, they put Vermont cheese!...just the perfect amount in their waffles adding just the right flavor and perfect crisp to every single bite. N' the watermelon... it was just any watermelon. It was a nice addition that went very well and just brought the whole dish together. The watermelon, simple yet delightful was drizzled or sprinkled with various herbs and spices.
-Shrimp n' Grits $28 (5/5 stars)
Another fantastic dish. Full of flavor , tickling all tastebuds. I usually don't like grits, it's just now I realized because I've been eating the wrong grits in the wrong places. However Yardbird prepared their grits here I loved it. The texture was perfect, not too gritty or loose in consistency, and the taste was savory. Shrimp, large and in charge! Excellent quality shrimp, you can taste it, cooked very well
-Smoked brisket sandwich $17 (4/5 stars)
Brisket was smoked nicely, tasty, not chewy. I'm not a fan of ciabatta, hence the star deduction.
-Mac n' cheese app $10
Estimated 1.5C portion. My kids request. Nice presentation brought out on a mini wood board and cooked in a cast iron skillet. Nice crisp cheese and Pablo topping, creamy inside
-Fried okra app (5/5 stars)
I like how this was lightly and not overly battered and the texture of the actual okra was not over cooked or too slimy. Nice bite sized addictive pieces
-Fried Green Tomato BLT $14 (5/5 stars)
A must have when your here! A simple humble dish that Yardbird has spruced up! Definitely not your average fried green tomatoes. Lightly breaded adding just the right crisp as you bite into a cooked to al dente tang green tomato. Topped with a yummy not too fatty perfect piece of pork belly, and they added a little frisée and their tomato jam to tickle your fancy.
I seriously love this place! And so does my whole family!
There's always a party somewhere in Vegas. This time there was a party in my mouth and a dance club going on in my stomach. Thank you Yardbird for the experience!
