"Buttermilk biscuits and thick-battered fried chicken brined for 27 hours have put Yardbird on the map, but this restaurant delivers more than reliable Southern-inspired staples. Take, for instance, the house espresso martini ($16) crafted from fresh espresso (decaf or regular), Tito’s vodka, Kahlua, and crème de cacao. Pro tip: The drink pairs perfectly with the banana pudding cheesecake for dessert (pictured)." - Mekita Rivas, Tierney Plumb
