Had to review this place right after I ate there because it was that good. The lady and I were staying at the Palazzo and looking for somewhere awesome to eat, and we found Yardbird which appealed to her southern tastes and my love for pretty much anything BBQed or fried.
The food is just insanely good. We started with the fried green tomatoes which were perfect. The pork belly was cooked just right and the tomatoes were so juicy. She ordered the ribs and I got the fried chicken and both were so delicious we had to keep sharing with each other. I also have to give a shoutout to the okra. Probably the best I've ever had. Just incredibly flavorful. That's what literally everything we ate there was. Straight flavor. We could barely walk out of there afterwards. Also, the blackberry bourbon lemonade. Damn it's good.
Also, the service was top-notch, arguably the best I've received at any restaurant. Carolina was a terrific, attentive server and chatted with my lady about being from Florida, and the manager stopped by as well to check on us.
Overall we couldn't have been happier. Yardbird definitely deserves the terrific reviews and the hype. One of the best restaurants in Vegas.
