If you can't stand happening places where the yuppsters are lined up 4-deep, don't go to Yardbird. In my view there are good reasons they're there -- to wish they weren't is like hoping to find an undiscovered perfect beach. Yardbird succeeds with updated southern dishes (though the fried chicken is much like my mother's -- which means old fashioned... More

Just had an amazing meal at Yardbird. It is a nice change of pace from the usual restaurants in South Beach. The decor was very unique with a focus on "barn chic". My friend had the white whiskey and watermelon cocktail and it was delish. My other friend had the peach one which was also wonderful and I had the... More

Well once you have eaten in all of south beach's best restaurants why not try something yummy but not so healthy . The finest fried food south of the mason dixon line is Yardbirds , a young spot near the beach the will put calories on you without a doubt . Its all very tasty but you will need to... More

Service was great! Drinks were very tasty, I ordered the watermelon drink (I highly rec. this one for people that are not fans of bourbon/whiskey) It was crisp and fresh! I think all the plates can be shared. We ordered the mamas chicken biscuits for an appetizer and the chicken and waffles with watermelon for the entree. Beware the portions... More

In Miami beach for a visit and wanted to get away from the poor quality food of ocean drive. This restaurant is an easy walk from ocean drive or Collins. The watermelon salad was delicious. The fried chicken and brick chicken were equally as delicious. And the strawberry shortcake was a great, light way to finish a meal. The server,... More

Loved this place! Went late night on a Sunday and the restaurant was almost full. We ordered two of their signature cocktails, amazing salads, and their sweet tea ribs. Great place!!

The decor is fun and fitting for the restaurant cooking up some very good southern cuisine. The employees were friendly and helpful. My wife and I tried the FL tomato and watermelon salad, fried chicken biscuit sliders, mac n' cheese and the bacon donut. The salad was fresh with a perfect balance of saltiness and sweet. The fresh farmers cheese... More

Have given it three tries, but not once has it been anything other than overwrought food with shockingly bad service. Overly friendly waitstaff does not compensate for a complete lack of competence. Managers are also friendly but oblivious to the "Junior High" efforts of the staff. The food is plentiful, but reliant on cheap tricks for flavor rather than well... More

If you love southern cooking but want an upscale atmosphere this place is it!! The food was amazing. I had the 1/2 fried chicken, cheddar waffle, mac and cheese and butter beans. All were perfection. Great portion sizes...enough to share with my hubby. Great presentation. I was leery of the cheddar waffle but it was delicious. I highly recommend. Service... More
