Another good brunch place worth reviewing from our monthly brunch group. This what we like: 1. Very attractive place. You will like this place 2. Parking in Clyde Warren area is a challenge but they have $10 valet but worth every penny. 3. Food quality was excellent. All six of us got something different and everyone enjoyed their meal. a. Chicken biscuit; shrimp & grits/ chicken waffle; blueberry pancakes: basic with two eggs 4. Drinks were also very good. Bloody Mary and mimosas Downside: 1. Our waiter had too many large customers and we had to ask her to handoff our table to another waiter. This worked out well for her and us. 2. This is an expensive brunch experience. It will make us hesitate to come back frequently. But for special occasions this will be Great. I would also bring an out of towner to impress.

Yardbird is located next to Klyde Warren Park so parking is VERY limited that it's best to valet. The ambience is nice, clean and spacious. For Saturday brunch, I would recommend reservations. We came for a private event and the service was amazing. We had several dishes but some of my favorite were the skillet cornbread, the fried green tomatoes topped with pork belly, the short ribs sliders and the creme brulee waffles. Would definitely keep this on my list to try again!

I've been to yardbird several times, but I've never reviewed it. I love yardbird. I haven't had one bad experience there, amongst any of the numerous times that I've gone. The interior of the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing, and of course the food is amazing. Beware, the portion sizes are large. I've had quite a few dishes from their menu, but I'd say, if you have an appetite get the chicken and waffles. It's epic. But the menu overall is amazing. The only knock on yardbird is that your reservation time isn't always honored. There are times when I've shown up for a reservation, and wasn't seated until 15 minutes later. But this was during brunch hours, so I understand.

I heard mixed reviews for quite some time about Yardbird, so I was a little hesitant and set my expectations low. From the moment we walked in, everyone we encountered was so pleasant and kind; my hesitancy melted away! Our waiter Evan was phenomenal! He was so personable and gave us great recommendations when we were indecisive. Our hands never touched the bottle to pour our mimosas! He kept stopping by to fill our glasses throughout our stay. The bacon jam deviled eggs were amazing! The fried chicken was full of flavor and juicy! The crème brulee waffles, Evan recommended, were perfect! The mac & cheese was bomb! We will definitely be back soon! If you're on the fence, don't hesitate! Make a reservation for brunch and order the jalapeño bacon devil eggs!

Excellent food with a southern flare. Really enjoyed all of the appetizers especially the deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes with a slice of thick bacon on top with spicy Mayo. The chicken and waffles, steak, and most sides were delicious. The only appetizer I did not like were the collard greens had way too much pork in them and tasted "porky" to where you could not enjoy the flavor of the greens. But all other appetizers were awesome! The fried Oreos are a must try for dessert.

Nestled in downtown Dallas, this Yardbird restaurant has the vibes when it comes to music and food! It was hot inside the restaurant but I truly enjoyed my meal, the appetizers, and drinks. The service was good too but the food did take quite a while to come out for a Wednesday night. It wasn't busy at all and they accommodated our large group and treated us with kindness. Here's my breakdown of each meal: *Charcuterie Board: 4/5 *Mac N Cheese: 5/5 *Fried Chicken: 5/5 *Corn Bread: 10/5 (OMG! Sooo good) *Wedge Salad: 5/5 *Caesar Salad: 3/5 (too overwhelming with cheese and dressing)

A beautiful celebratory restaurant. Wonderful service every time. On this busy Mother's Day, long waits between courses from kitchen. Delicious were the "Biscuits"; tantilizing "Deviled Eggs"; as usual, perfect "Chicken & Waffles", awful though was the serving of the non-spiced rind of 'watermelon'; ended on a sweet note of a nice "Raspberry & Cream Croissant Bread Pudding". CHEERS!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Yardbird for a Mother's Day brunch. Our waitress was quick, attentive, and friendly during our visit. The food was also 10/10, and even though we were working with a prefixed menu, the food was fresh! I am looking forward to another visit soon.

I highly recommend this place! This rating goes beyond the prime location (next to Klyde Warren Park and other eateries). This high rating is also for the amazing food and top tier service. We got an order of the delicious biscuits, the short rib pasta, and the chicken & waffles. I love how they used a cheddar biscuit instead of the traditional buttermilk waffle...don't worry, it's still sweet. I also like how the dish was paired with spiced watermelon. Our server was so nice, and he didn't act annoyed when we asked for pictures and videos. It was our anniversary, and they surprised us with 2 complimentary treats. I will definitely be back ;)
