I stopped in at Yard Birdz this afternoon while in Fort Walton Beach for work, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. I ordered the shrimp plate with slaw and mac & cheese—everything was absolutely delicious. The shrimp were cooked perfectly with a light, crispy batter, the slaw was fresh and flavorful, and the mac & cheese was creamy and comforting without being too heavy.
This was my third meal in Fort Walton Beach, each from a different restaurant, and Yard Birdz was hands-down the best by far. Great food, great flavor, and definitely worth a visit!

When I moved here 8 years ago The locals were saying I have to try this spot because I love a good Mac n cheese and tenders. I ordered drive thru the prices were a little scary but once I ordered pulled up to the window to pay I was greeted with a smile they started making my order so I knew I was going to have a hot plate for sure. Hot plates in a bag I’m driving around the window to park in their big parking lot to inspect my dinner. Shrimp was so good it was seasoned just right. I can smell The French fries had seasoning and the Mac and the pull apart cheese on the Mac was so delicious I couldn’t stop eating it I didn’t even make it out the parking lot without having to eat my food This place definitely has All flavor.

Found this place while looking for something to eat to get a break from all the seafood on vacation. Wanted to try a little local place in the area. The food was phenomenal! Much better than any other chicken chain for sure. The tenders are fresh and great pieces. The house sauces are amazing. The fries were super seasoned and the mac n chez was to die for. We will definitely be back. The place is only a drive thru. Also it is NOT fast food, so any complaints about a line or wait are not understanding that the food is cooked fresh to order!

Gotta shout out Tavaris! He answered the phone when I called for a catfish meal. They don’t take orders over the phone but he saved me the last two pieces and cooked em himself. Love the customer service here every time. If it’s not Tavaris, it’s somebody else providing great service!

We love Yardbirds! Food is always hot, fresh, and Seasoned! Tenders and wings are great, fried shrimp was delicious. The fries are perfect, crispy but soft on the inside and seasoned. Mac and cheese is also yummy.

It only a drive Thursday or pick up window. The wait is forever long. I picked up wings and tenders. There were good but definitely not worth the wait or price.
Time is a precious commodity I will not use it here again.

I love coming to this place. I used to order from here a lot in my twenties. I’m going to start coming back more often, especially for the wings. I usually get the tenders but I tried the wings for the first time today and they are really good.

Heard about this place from two different coworkers, one from each of my places of employment. I’ve been wanting to check it out for a while now. I would say that the food was okay. But with it being a chicken place in direct competition with others in the area, it doesn’t stack up. The building looks ghetto and how you get to it is kind of awkward. The lady who took my order was super friendly, but she forgot the large fry I ordered. Thankfully, she didn’t charge me for them! She did give me a free lemonade that tasted pretty good. The wings themselves were medium-sized sized. I asked for extra crispy, and I was left slightly disappointed. I prefer my wings to have a crunch, not burnt, but a nice good crisp to them. Their hot wing sauce was actually surprisingly tasty, but it was not hot, I think I would call them mild at best. Their garlic parm wings were a bit crisper, so that was good. They had good flavor, too. All in all, it was just okay.

Ordered tender plate and wanted potato salad ,but they ran out of it so option was Mac n cheese , baked beans or coleslaw. The head honcho let me try the mac n cheese I’ve never had it there and it was pretty good. And he even popped back out and let me try baked beans. I’m not much of a BB person but was surprisingly surprised that they were very good.
I LOVE the house sauce and seasoning on fries ( it’s pretty addicting) ha ha.
He did forget to give me my drink but I didn’t realize it until I got home – oh well !
Overall friendly and perfectly fried chicken tenders!
