    Great American restaurant serving delicious Southern food, inside the restaurant there's an open view kitchen and features more of a rustic style decor for the seating area, the food is very tasty and the service is friendly. It can get a bit pricey but it's worth it! ideal place for a nice Brunch.

    Delicious southern comfort food in Miami beach. Really enjoyed the biscuits and fried chicken. The sauces were unique and complemented the dishes very well. The burger was okay but a little dry, could have used a little extra sauce. I did ask for it cooked medium so maybe consider going for rare/medium-rare. Overall a great food experience which I highly recommend.

    Great southern food! They do fried chicken well here especially paired with their honey hot sauce. Really yummy and juicy! The Deviled Eggs are interesting with some salmon roe on top. A little fishy, but eggs on eggs is a pretty cool idea! Presentation is on point too! For drinks, the Mint Julep is classic and to the book. Satisfying with a good solid bourbon! Definitely a southern cocktail that pairs well. Lastly, we got the Key Lime Pie and it was really pretty. It had a strong clash of flavors with the mint. Not sure if I was a fan and I think a classic vanilla sauce or lemon/lime sauce would have been better. The Key Lime was overly sweet and needed to be cut with more tartness. Still enjoyed it though and good to share!

    Haven’t been to Yardbird in about five years when I was in Miami with my wife for vacation. Returned to South Beach last week for work and knew Yardbird was on my foodie spots to hit. Just like it was before…this place never disappoints. My colleague and I arrived and were greeted with a smile and were seated immediately. The staff was professional, friendly, and polite. And the food, of course, was amazing! I had a biscuit to start and chicken & waffles for my main meal. The chicken was cooked perfectly, crunchy, and loved the side watermelon. (Syrup and hot sauce are so good too). My colleague had chicken & biscuits, a salad, and a few cocktails. He was raving about his meal and drinks all night. I highly recommend stopping by Yardbird for some incredible comfort food in South Beach. Already looking forward to my next visit!

    Great place for meeting up with friends/family. Plenty of seating - indoors & outdoors. Love the amount of light that is allowed to come into the room, without it heating up the place - still comfortable. Service is very good. Lots of menu items, with their own unique twist. I really like the deviled eggs - the smoked salmon roe is a nice touch (portion size is more than you think - can be easily divided & shared among a group)

    Got the deviled eggs + chicken and waffles + water. Paid a whopping 80 bucks including tips. So, was it worth it? No. It was not even worth $40. This city is expensive. The deviled eggs were fine. Pretty standard mustard + mayo + yolk combo (salmon roe to make it wow), but too much filling the egg whites got lost, visually and taste-wise. Now, the chicken and waffles is supposed to be good. It’s very difficult to get it wrong. I mean, it has fried chickens and waffles, some of the best things in the world. Still, Yardbird managed to make this dish mediocre somehow. I barely finished half of it. The chicken was slightly on the tougher side, surprisingly. The batter was boring in terms of taste and texture. The waffles were ok, but I couldn’t taste the “sharp cheddar cheese”. The honey hot sauce was just... hot sauce, but it was good enough. However, the unexpected star of the dish was the “spiced watermelon”, whatever that spice was because I couldn’t taste it. That was the most random side I’ve ever seen. What are these watermelons supposed to do? I tried all combinations in different bite order: chicken + watermelon, waffle + watermelon, all together, and watermelon alone. It just didn’t make any sense. They’re still freaking watermelons, they’re juicy and sweet, but what the f are they doing next to my chicken and waffles? Should I have them for dessert? As a palate cleanser? I’m still confused. If somebody has an answer, please let me know. Anyway, the service was good and the decor was pretty nice. Only the food was a bit disappointing.

    'For a moment you'll forget you are in Miami', my fried said To who I responded 'I would rather be dead' 'Wait a minute' he continued to explain 'you'll experience the South without the need of a plane' Yardbird is a complete and unmissable experience for all food lovers, every bite is so good, a whole world uncovers. Tangy and sour blackberry bourbon lemonade, will get you started, crispy fried chicken with soft fluffy waffle, burbon maple syrup and a chilled spice watermelon, you'll keep from others guarded. And a giant chocolate cake will cure any broken-hearted. The staff is helpful, friendly and kind. They make good recommendations, you'll be able to find. If you are full, ask for takeaway bag, they don't even mind. I guess that's how the restaurant menu has been designed.

    3.8/5 We visited for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. It was decent but not as great as we had expected, unfortunately. We ordered their signature Chicken & Waffles, which was not our favourite dish. The fried chicken was tender and flavourful but not exactly crispy, the waffles were not hot or crisp and the watermelon was mushy… frankly speaking, it felt a bit overpriced for what it is. The Smoked Brisket Sandwich was juicy and full of flavour. If you like a saucy sandwich, I would recommend ordering this. I would be open to trying some of their other menu items. Thanks to the servers here as they were very pleasant.

    Great Miami Beach spot. Not many great restaurants in this area, so it’s nice to have an authentic southern spot around here! The food is super delicious, quick service, and quite cute decor and environment. Not too loud, and not crowded. All around great place. We got the beignets, the biscuits & gravy, and the chicken & egg sandwich.

    Wow!! What an AMAZING place, some of the best food I’ve ever had. The chicken and waffles are even more amazing than they sound. The burger was phenomenal! Cocktails were fabulous. The service and staff was top notch, going above and beyond! If you’re looking for a place to eat in Miami, this is a must!

    We’ve eaten at Roscoe’s Chicken n Waffles, We’ve eaten at The Breakfast Club in Houston, Texas, and we’ve been blessed to eat at some pretty nice places in the world. When I tell you….. Yardbird Southern Table is the absolute “truff”! This is hands down, THE best Chicken and Waffles AND grits I have ever eaten in my life! The seasoned watermelon is almost life changing.😊😂😊 You will not be disappointed. The food and service is Exemplary AWESOME! Thank you Lord!🙏🏼❤️ Not to mention PHENOMENAL CUSTOMER SERVICE!❤️💕 Andy “The guy from Mississippi” & Joe, exceptional Managers. The staff in that place is running on ALL cylinders.

    Best fried chicken I’ve had in Florida! Our server Aleisha was very friendly, attentive & good personality. We had chicken & waffles with friends and a 1/2 of fried chicken. The chicken is very juicy, tender, great flavor and has the satisfying crunch on every bite. I definitely will love to eat at Yardbird Again

    Came here for dinner as it was our last night in Miami so we wanted to eat somewhere memorable. We were successful. Our waitress Lauren was awesome, very knowledgeable and attentive and just an awesome personality. That really made our experience there even better. We got there a little later than we wanted but we didn’t feel rushed at all. We enjoyed some drinks which were delicious and apps. Apps were great and came out pretty fast. We had the pea hummus, tomato salad, and pork belly. Everything was really delicious. Of course coming to yardbird you gotta get the fried chicken, and we were very happy we did. The seasoning was great and the chicken was moist and delicious. Sides we enjoyed were the corn and grits and we got an order to biscuits. For dessert the got the banana pie cheesecake to go which we enjoyed at home. I have to say, everything was very good from service to food. What a great way to end our last night in Miami!

    Every time I’m in Miami, I like to visit this location. The food is ALWAYS delicious, and the staff is very nice. I got the Shrimp & Grits, which were made to perfection, incredibly flavorful. Deviled eggs to-go which were packaged neatly. Excellent location close to all the main hotels on Collins. Great brand, excellent service every time I visit, no matter what city. I would definitely recommend to friends and family, I can’t wait to go back!

    We had a delicious time here, incredible brunch spot in Miami! Our server, Barbara, was super knowledgeable about the menu and answered all of our questions (even about our different dietary restrictions) and she made excellent food and drink recommendations! We got the chicken and waffles - BEST I’ve ever had. My fiancé got the great American burger - just delicious. The special sauce!!!! Sooooo delicious!!! The drinks were perfect. We got the deep fried Oreos for dessert (also at Barbara’s recommendation) and it was soooooooo good!! We’ll definitely be coming back every time we come to Miami!

    Delicious experience! If you’re looking for a glutinous and incredible meal with good service, Yardbird is a sure spot. The Chef’s Menu was fantastic and left us with plenty of leftovers.

  • 2/5 Sweet L. 4 months ago on Google
    I ordered the fried chicken with two sides, cheesy grits and Mac N Cheese. The best thing on my table was the Mac N Cheese and even that wasn’t totally to my liking, as the cheese was entirely tooooooo SHARP. But, I correctly understand that there are people who thoroughly enjoy extra sharp cheese, so I cannot knock the dish. But the chicken had no flavor and the grits were nearly inedible because they were too hard. I literally did not eat ANY of it. When I left, this is what I left. What you see in the pics. I didn’t enjoy the meal at all. When the server came by and inquired, I told him I didn’t like anything and that the Mac N Cheese was the best thing I ordered, he only asked if I wanted to box the Mac to go. He didn’t ask if I wanted to order anything different and he never told his manager that I didn’t like the food. So I left a table with the full meal still there in front of me. He didn’t remove the food when I said I didn’t like it and didn’t try to get anything else. The food and service are not worth the prices. Aside from that, the server was very nice and knowledgeable. I think his name is Paul but I might be mistaken. He is very nice, he just needs to learn proper protocol when a guest dislikes their food. This is literally what was still on the table when I left.

    When Mississippi meets Miami...what started as a lunch reservation spawned into a new friendship! At the start of our meal, we learned that the manager, Andy, is also a Mississippi native! We were treated with such hospitality. I can honestly say this has been our BEST DINING EXPERIENCE yet. Cornbread, chicken and waffles, deviled eggs, lobster Mac and cheese, buttermilk biscuits, banana pudding cheesecake — all the things we eat back in Mississippi. Yardbird felt like coming home.

    Yardbird is a delightful restaurant. Food was fantastic. Service was wonderful, and setting was fun and cozy. The fried chicken was delicious. I recommend reservations if you are looking to go on the weekend. Overall, I highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Jo P. 8 months ago on Google
    Having been to Yardbird in Singapore we wanted to try the one in Miami and were not disappointed. Food was delicious. We ordered the chicken then three sides to share which was more than enough. The side portions were big. We had the Brussels, corn and Mac and cheese. All were delicious, although the Mac and cheese was quite a heavy one, but still nice. Very cold inside in the air con, so be prepared for that but sitting outside after sunset was warm but not too hot for those used to the heat.

  • 5/5 Genevieve K. 7 months ago on Google
    Lovely food (brunch) with lots of stable dishes like pancakes, eggs, and more with a sophisticated twist. Pricey ($350 for 4 people, including 3 alcoholic drinks). The presentation of the dishes was superb and the flavors were to die for. Our server was a bit annoying, asking constantly to get our order (we were meeting family after a long time) after we told him we needed several minutes and would let him know when we were ready.

  • 5/5 Sabrina P. 6 months ago on Google
    Paul was an exceptional server and if you go then I would highly recommend asking for him! The food was fresh and delicious. It was definitely an experience and don't skip dessert.

  • 1/5 jamia m. 5 months ago on Google
    Our Waiter Jackie was extremely trifling and had an attitude the manager had to be called….She went in my food Togo container when I went to the restroom and removed something …You don’t touch anybody else food dirty.🤷🏽‍♀️She also put dirty dishes on food that was supposed to be packaged for a Togo she talked about her table to her coworkers thinking nobody would hear her… she added unessasary charges to our bill so that her gratuity can go up...She tried to charge us for extra gravy when it barely had any gravy on the dish. She was a nasty person overall wouldn’t recommend her as a server

    This was our second trip to this scrumptious eatery. You can not go wrong with any of their selections. By far my favorite is their fluffy made to perfection biscuits. The drinks are always a must here. Sending a solid pound to the master bartender. The staff is friendly and helpful when you’re undecided. Their suggestions for anything on the menu is spot on.

    Ladies! All the male servers in this restaurant are gorgeous! So don’t just go for the food go for the sights too. Now the food is delicious. I had the lil gem Caesar salad. Best Caesar salad I’ve ever had. It’s either the dressing they use or all the delicious cheese, it’s not parm. The lemon rotisserie chicken was delicious tender and flavorful. My husband had the short rib and cleaned his whole plate. Although he did say it was sugar sweet. Which it was but I feel like the pickled carrots mellowed out the sweetness. Our server was handsome, quick and attentive. I’m definitely going back for brunch.

  • 4/5 Ardell L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice restaurant. The atmosphere and service were excellent👌🏾. We had fried chicken that was fried to perfection. Shirmp and Grits that was pretty good. And the homemade biscuits were wonderful 😋. My only complaint would be the coffee ☕️. It was pretty weak 🤷🏾‍♂️. Be prepared to spend about $50 per person.

  • 5/5 Thomas Pyfer (. 1 year ago on Google
    This southern style eatery has become a staple whenever I am in town. Their specialty is fried chicken, and it’s a must-try. I’ve also ordered other dishes such as the shrimp and grits. I’m never disappointed. The cocktails are just as good. My party and I were taken care of by Santiago during our most recent visit. The service is always completely on par with a high-end establishment, and Santiago made our experience wonderful, taking the extra step though out the night such as asking us before sending our main order to the fire to ensure we weren’t rushed.

  • 4/5 Alex P. 1 year ago on Google
    Southern food with a twist at this restaurant. We ordered two starters, a main, and dessert. First, the dessert would be a huge pass for me and why I cannot give this location a 5 star. We were highly encouraged to order the pecan pie butter cake, told it was usually just a special on the weekend but they were offering it today. It tasted like it had been left over the weekend premade in the fridge. The butter cake and pecan pie were cold, so cold we could barely get our spoon and fork through it. To our surprise the butter cake was $22 because it was a special. We came at 5:30pm for the happy hour but were informed that that menu and prices were only honored at the bar though it does not state this online. Luckily an exception was made and we were able to order the okra which was just okay. It came with a side of dill ranch but we thought the breading was too soft and didn't give enough crunch. Now for the good! Wait staff was very attentive. Restaurant is clean and decor similar to that of magnolia, southern feel with indoor and outdoor seating. The BLT fried green tomatoes were delicious with thick cut bacon, sweet jam, and pimento cheese, the entree which was the sweet tea short rib was absolutely delicious. Overall, the food was pretty good. Prices were quite high in my opinion. Like most restaurants and businesses in Miami, the gratuity (18%) is added to the tip before check out.

    Food was absolutely phenomenal along with the service we received. Couldn’t be happier with a night out with the guys. Will definitely return in the future. I believe this location is also their original location. Our waiter Rose did a great job helping us pick out the right menu items and having fun with us.
