Great service from beginning to end. We visited during the lunch hours and was immediately seated upon entering. Our waitress, Tynisha, was very attentive and provided quick and efficient service. I do think it was a little pricey, but the food was good. There were 4 in our group and we tried the Crab Cake, Ribs (beautifully plated), Brisket (hefty portion), and Pasta (Spicy). We also got the 7 layer chocolate cake (very shareable!!) And the delectable Kiwi pie. Not sure if I’ll visit again, but only because we’re here for a short visit and I want to try several places. Definitely a restaurant to visit though.

When stepping into Yardbird you should automatically order the Deviled Eggs and an ice tea with lemon. This is a high volume spot but the servers and bartenders like Paul and Tamika do amazingly with making sure each of us feel taken care of. In terms of menu items The Farmer Bowl is fresh and perfect in portion. I like that it’s not over sized so one doesn’t feel stuffed after the meal. The key lime pie is extraordinary and so is there banana bread pudding. Which is massive and could feed a family of eight. The decor is wonderful here with their oval shaped bar and warm upbeat fun tones! This is a perfect spot for brunch or a large family party with all the food on the menu ordered to enjoy! I can’t wait to be back!

I’ve wanted to come here for a while and I finally made it. My food did not disappoint. I ordered the rotisserie chicken and it was so juicy and flavorful. The cornbread was a favorite at the table – the butter melted perfectly in the center! I also enjoyed the deviled eggs – both variations were very good! I can’t wait to visit again try more options.

To whom this may concern, Xavier is an exemplary member of your waitstaff. Not only did he cultivate an Outstanding Dining Experience, he made my wife and I feel like family! He possesses a unique ability to recognize what people really want and that’s rare. We truly appreciated his enthusiasm, energy and extensive knowledge of the menu. He guaranteed our satisfaction and stuck to his word! I couldn’t leave the capital without leaving him a great review. THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE! We’ve been in DC for a few days and this restaurant was a great way to end our trip. This was our first time visiting but surely will not be the last. With so many delicious options to choose from, Xavier pointed us in the right direction by suggesting the “OVER NIGHT CINNAMON SOAKED BISCUITS” served with whipped cream and berries. Please see attached. I had a taste for shrimp and grits but my wife couldn’t decide on just one item so X recommended the “Gravy Train” and she loved it! We also tried the “Ambrosia Fruit Salad” which they top with whipped cream and coconut shavings! Everything was divine! I can’t wait to come back!

I haven’t been back for four years. My previous experience was better because of service. The food remained good as always. Our assigned server was a little reactive and slower than others. The manager was pleasant and service focused. We had the deviled eggs, the wagyu burger, huevos rancheros, fried chicken with gravy in a biscuit with cheese (gravy train breakfast sandwich), and French dip sandwich. No complaint with the food.

Went twice during a weekend trip. Happy hour apps and drinks were great–especially the chicken sliders and the dirty rice! 10/10. Brunch was a little less steller, although very good. The “Gravy Train” was good but the eggs were bland and possibly instant. The cornbread was good.

Over-hyped in my opinion… it was fine, but not a place I’d get excited about. I couldn’t get over a soda water was $5!!!! The biscuits are what made this a good experience for me!!! The okra was also yummy. They’re known for their chicken, so I was excited to try that, but their “not spicy” chicken was still spicy to me (not sure if I was served the wrong one or if it is just spicy). There was an event going on while we were there and when it ended, they were moving furniture in and out and left the door open to the (covered) outside area where they store furniture and it was SO cold, I had to put my jacket on during dinner. Probably won’t go back, but if I did, I’d get the biscuits!

It’s obvious in a positive way that there’s a big emphasis on service here. The food is nicely prepared, but no attempt at exciting presentation. There’s too many groups and kids to make it a fine dining experience. But a fairly nice group or family outing.

First time at yardbird. Cute decor. We came for brunch. Really enjoyed the white peach mimosas. The biscuits are a must have but next time I must try that jalapeno cornbread. I had to send my wagyu burger back bc I specifically asked prior to ordering not to have a runny egg. In general, massive portions. The crème brûlée pancakes were so tasty and the Mac and cheese was very good. I do wish our server was more attentive. Felt like he could have checked in more.

BEST Fried chicken since Sundays at my grandmas! Cappuccino and apple cobbler delish to finish it off! Our server made the experience even better! We’ll be back!
