3355 S Las Vegas Blvd

From the warm and efficient service (thank you Jose) to the creative and delicious drinks and amazing appetizers we went family style on sides to try a few and then got our own entrees, and you truly cannot go wrong!! Such an amazing establishment that has a really charming vibe throughout. The dessert was truly the cherry on top; can't wait to come back again.

Best fried chicken ever. Excellent light flakey crispy texture and super juicy on the inside. Fried chicken could be shared by 2 people. Excellent mashed potatoes side dish and the Brussels sprouts were okay! The Mac and cheese was very weird...my husband who is obsessed with any and all kinds of Mac n cheese said it had a funky tasty and texture. I agreed, it was a little too runny and did not have a creamy or nice cheesy flavor. Too much paprika? Didn't mix the roux enough? My husband's IPA brick chicken was pretty good but nowhere near as juicy as the fried chicken. The flavor in the IPA brick was nice but expected more robust flavor based on description. The appetizer Texas Twinkie jalapeño thing was very good. It only comes with one, so you'll have to split. Excellent service. Our waiter was from Texas and was attentive and funny. Make good recommendations based on our interest. The vibes are great inside the restaurant too. Very chill yet energetic and warm soft lighting throughout. Elevated sexy barn lol

BEST.FRIED.CHICKEN.IN.VEGAS. If someone asked me where is the best fried chicken in Vegas, this would be it. This is actually our 3rd time in 3 yrs but first time doing the review. And we've tried plenty of fried chicken spots in Vegas. Service - 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Food - 5/5 I recommend making a reservation, especially for parties of 2 or more. Fairly easy process. Just go on their web site and do it. We got seated right away after checking in for party of 6. Ambiance is nice. There is a bar and a lounge right out front. Nice Vegas lounge feel. Restaurant in the back has limited space but it works. Tried a bunch of stuff on the menu. The fried chicken is very flavorful and moist, while crispy on the outside. Our server mentioned they brine it for 24 hrs. The standard waffle that comes with it were delicious but even better with the chicken. Creme brulee waffle is more of a dessert but it also didn't disappoint. Everything we had was great. Biscuits with chicken, gravy and bacon - check. Standard good ol American breakfast - sausage, eggs, bacon, hash browns - check Mac and cheese - check Corn bread - check. Highly recommend this one as well. Cinnamon rolls - check and check. Probably the best one on our table! Damn right we'll be back!

Went here for New Year's Eve dinner and did the pre-fixe menu Food- My friends ordered the 1/2 bird and it was good. We had the pre-fixe menu which seemed like a good idea cause we were really hungry but had then oyster Rockefeller as my second course which definitely didn't taste or smell fresh. Ive been here before awhile back and then southern food was pretty good but definitely don't order the seafood if it's on the menu. Service - Staff is super nice and fun, probably some of the best I've had. Maybe because it was New Year's Eve it took an hour just to get our food out. Ambiance - Love the vibe in the place overall. Really fun and vibrant. I would come back, but not order outside of traditional southern food

The service here was horrendous. The food was not nearly as good as expected, the chicken dried out and overcooked and the fish poor quality . Prices are way too high for the quality served, the wait was also way too long.

This place was jam-packed at the entrance with a crowd of people waiting just to be seated and to pay a fortune for fried chicken. 11/01/2024. Green goddess salad ($18): this was a refreshing salad, but for the cost I'd prefer to get a hot appetizer or side dish for more flavor, 3.5/5 stars. Deviled eggs ($15): requires more mayo, but the seasoning was perfect, 3.5/5 stars. Popcorn shrimp ($20): love the beer batter, but the shrimps should be bigger, 4/5 stars. Lewellyn's chicken ($35): these four pieces had a light batter that was crispy and well-seasoned. The chicken was juicy, but this tasted like a better version of grocery fried chicken. So yes, the price is outrageous and especially if you order the whole bird at $76! My rating minus the cost is 4/5 stars. Cornbread ($16): this was a tad dry and would crumble into small pieces, but the flavors of jalepeño and butter were spot on, 3/5 stars. Mac & cheese ($15): this was a hit, as the cheese was generous and had a medium flavor. The pasta was soft and easy to overeat, 4/5 stars. Little luxuries are bite-sized dessert sampler ($35)... Bon bons: these were incredible, and they should sell this individually. Just right amount of mildly sweet chocolate, with small bits of toffee nuts, and had a creamy cherry filling, 5/5 stars! Fried oreo: these were crispy of course, and the oreo somewhat melted that made for gooey rich bites, 4/5 stars. The mini cobbler cake, strawberry cheesecake, and key lime bar were all disastrous. The flavors were not balanced, either too tangy or bland. 2/5 stars. The lighting is dim but the restaurant was lively with all the chatter from the diners and the music from the speakers throughout the restaurant. The service was fine, as the food was delivered in a fair amount of time, and our drinks were topped off. Our server was a gem and gave us more bon bons to go.

What a great experience we had at Yardbird. Made a reservation on-line for3 at 1:30, got there about 12:40 so we were very early. Young lady at the desk greeted us and askd if we had reservations. I said, yes for 1:30. She looked in her little computer thingie and said, walk this way. We were seated way before out reservation time which was nice because we didn't have to wait. Our server greated us and told about the specials and the house favorites. He was awesome I just cant remember his name, senior moment. He took very good care of us and made our dinning experience a very pleasant one. we shared a few laughs and made small talk, he was great. Ambiance was relaxed and casual. STARTERS Fried Green Tomato BLT Stack $18.00 House-smoked pork belly, pimento cheese, frisbee, tomato jam, and lemon vinaigrette. Loved this little starter.It was golden brown with a crunch. bork pelly was flavorful and the greens were fresh. Would deffinatly order this again. YARDBIRD CLASSICS Chicken & Waffles $42.00 Chilled spiced watermelon, sharp cheddar waffle,honey hot sauce, and Bourbon maple syrup. These waffle were warm and crispy on the outside and airy on the inside. they were made to perfection. the warm bourbon maple syrup complemented it perfectly. the chicken was so good and fried to a crispy outer layer but still very juicy and tender inside. Didn't leave a crumb it so good. I can deffinatly see myself having this again. Now the star of the show and why we're here. Lobster Mac & Cheese $96.00 Whole lobster & creamy five artisanal cheese sauce. Words cannot discribe how good this Mac & cheese was and the lobster, oh my heaven. How can something so simple taste so amazing. ate evry last bite almost liked the plate clean, no shame here. Diffinatley getting this one again next time Im here, for sure. DESSERT 15 Fried Oreo Sunday $15.00 Dark chocolate sauce, vanilla ice cream and Waffle shell. A twist on the fried Oreo. Oreo is batterd and deep fried served on a chocolate coverd waffle mini bowl with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. This desert was so good we were having spoon fight to get anothe bite, lol. Fun treat to try. Service was awesomly great, ambiance was casual. and food was amazingly delicious. A MUST try when your in the Las Vagas area and want to splurge on a fun twist on your favorie foods.

PSA: They do NOT offer football games at the bar, despite some Yelp reviews, the hostess saying the bartender could change the channel, and the bartender saying they don't have access to change the TVs, but they usually play the games. The restaurant has a cool vibe. We quickly got seating at the bar. Our bartenders were very nice and attentive. We had the deviled eggs which were a little too mayo for me, but my fiance liked them. The mac and cheese was delicious. I liked the breadcrumbs on top. The fried chicken was ok. The skin was crispy. The chicken breast tasted a little rubbery to me. The food was ok, but was not my favorite. This place has a lot of great reviews so I'm hoping we just caught them on a bad day.

Easy casual brunch perfect for large or small portions. After a night out in Vegas, finding a good meal the next morning can be tough. Yardbird 100% has something to offer for everyone. Excellent coffee and drinks large big breakfast or even a small appetizer size breakfast. I highly recommend asking your server for suggestions and let them know how hungry you are as the portions are big. Only downside with the lighting was a little dim, and all of us had to pull out our phones as flashlights to read the menu. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time as this place will fill up quickly.

Yardbird in Las Vegas delivers a dining experience that stands out on the Strip. From the moment you walk in, the rustic yet modern ambiance sets the tone for a meal that feels both comforting and elevated. The highlight, of course, is the food. The signature Fried Chicken is everything you could hope for--crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Pair it with their Cheddar Waffles and spiced watermelon for an unforgettable Southern classic. The menu also boasts other standout dishes like the Deviled Eggs and Shrimp & Grits, which balance tradition with a creative twist. The service is just as stellar as the food. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu, always ready with recommendations or a smile. The cocktails deserve a special mention--especially the Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade and the Southern Peach Tea, which are as refreshing as they are expertly crafted. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a great meal in Vegas, Yardbird is a must-visit. It's a place where Southern hospitality meets world-class dining, leaving you already planning your next visit.

Hands down one of the best dining experiences I've ever had in the strip. Service was friendly. Very attentive and just awesome! They were informative, professional and made sure to note my husbands mushroom allergy. Ambiance. This place is uniquely decorated and I really liked the vibe. The food was beyond delicious. And we even had a cocktail that was delicious as well. The Chicken is on another level of foodgasm status. I will definitely be back. Prices were worth every bit of the experience.

Met colleagues for a drink and dinner. The place had a good vibe, flowing drinks and vibrant music. Had a glass of rose wine and it was good! For appetizer, we shared a hummus platter with fresh veggies and crunchy pita chips. The hummus came topped with something delicately crunchy (maybe pine nuts?) and was honestly one of the best hummus platters I've had lately. For dinner, well, the place is named after a bird! So I had the IPA brick chicken and it was both a large portion (half-bird) and succulent, juicy and tender. The spices accompanied the chicken well! To add to the main, we had skillet cornbread and you should too! Would highly recommend!

After a 2 hour Eagles concert, we wanted to find something to eat BUT we didn't want to leave the Venetian. Appears that some of the fine dining eateries stayed open to accommodate the concert goers. We snagged a coveted seat at Yardbird. They had a late night menu. Their drink offerings included a flight of bourbon that I enjoyed. At $40 for the flight, I savored every ounce. A couple of us enjoyed their burger and fries combo. The patty was surprisingly moist and filling. The bun was probably too thick for me but I enjoyed it. Service was top notch and our beverage glasses were never empty. The atmosphere is loud and in the front of the house there was a musician who was playing.

This restaurant is inside the Venetian hotel. We came to eat here after the day club & it was a hit! We were greeted so warmly upon entering the establishment, although they did stop & tell us to let us know we had to cover up our bikinis. Thankfully we brought cover ups! Brought us around towards the back of the restaurant & sat us @ a high top. I enjoyed the dim lighting thru the restaurant. All the food we ordered were so good or maybe it was the drunchies but they even served my bf a birthday dessert

The fried chicken was classy, tasty, and juicy. The service was wonderful, the ambiance was cozy, and the food was delicious.

Located in Venetian's restaurant row, we love everything Yardbird has to offer! Strongly recommend reservations. Fried chicken & waffles, grilled chicken, crispy fingerlings, ribs, Caesar salad (never tasted this dressing elsewhere), deviled eggs, corn...everything was DELISH!

We arrived here for dinner on a Sunday night and the place was fairly crowded. The bar was packed and the place bustling. The restaurant is inside the VeniVenetian hotel which is gorgeous inside and outside. Luckily we were seated right away in the dining room area. Our server was, Dominique and he was great. He gave us susuggestions and assisted with questions we had about the menu. My friend and I decided to share the half chicken that's apparently big enough for two people and it was. We also had a salad and the mac and cheese. Everything was delicious but that chicken was amazing. It was nicely seasoned and moist inside. I was very impressed. We tried to order dessert but they were all big portions so me and my friend had to agree on one to share and we couldn't. lol The bathrooms were very clean and overall this place was cool and i would definitely return.

If you're in Vegas and don't eat here, something's wrong! The food and service are on point. I first ate here seven years ago for my birthday, and it hasn't changed--the place is exceptional. We had lunch here on Friday, 11/8/24. My only gripe is that it's a bit dark, but everything else is perfect. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. We ordered the deviled eggs, shrimp and grits, and lobster mac and cheese. Deviled Eggs: A must-try. Absolutely delicious. Shrimp and Grits: Creamy, delicious, and topped with huge, perfectly seasoned shrimp. Lobster Mac and Cheese: Creamy, gooey comfort food that comes with an entire lobster. It's pricey at around $88, but I'd order it again in a heartbeat. If you come here do yourself a favor and share! We did it was fantastic.

The ambiance here is pretty cool. It has a very modern industrial look to it however the lighting is very dim. We are all in our 30's and felt like we needed a reading light to see the menu lol. We did have a hard time finding the place but that's consistent with every restaurant inside a casino in Vegas just make time for that if you have a reservation! We came here for breakfast. Our food was good. Nothing to write home about but overall good. Cons: The chicken (which is what they are known for) on all of our dishes wasn't very crispy. It's fried chicken so that was a little disappointing. the hash-browns look good but also weren't crispy and flavor was 2/10. The Bloody Mary was good but seemed to have an off after taste. Pros: The mimosa with fresh squeezed orange juice was 10/10. Biscuits and gravy were delicious. Gravy had amazing flavor. The eggs were perfectly cooked, drinks were consistently refilled and empty plates removed in a timely manner. Our server was friendly and efficient. Overall it's was a good experience.

Christmas dinner in Vegas baby! First time to this gf friendly restaurant and it did not disappoint. The decor was quirky and warm all at the same time. It was awesome to take in. The service was on point from the time we checked in for our reservation. We were early so we hung out at the bar and they found us when our table was ready ( at the reservation time btw.) Our server was welcoming and knowledgeable and walked us through the restaurants's specialties. We settled on the Llewelyn chicken half, Brussels, little gem Caesar and fried green tomato BLT for me. Hubby LOVED his gf fried chicken - gf people don't often get fried chicken so this is a huge treat! Everything tasted exceptional. Our server went the extra step and even recommended a breakfast place for the hubby for great gf food!! Great service, great people and overall a very lovely Xmas/Hanukkah celebration!! Btw- hated that my pics of our salad and chicken didn't come out- bummer cuz they looked delish!

Tried to go for lunch but for a party of two it was going to be over an hour so we opted to make a reservation and come back for dinner. We almost didn't because the hostess was so kind to the people in front of us and then super rude and full of disdain for us (for no reason - maybe she knew them and is like that for everyone else). When we went back for dinner we got seated right away but our waiter took forever to assist us. Once he did we were ready to order already and got some okra, the biscuits, the Mac n cheese, and the fried chicken. The biscuits are moist and so so soft and fluffy. Cinnamon butter was delicious but the jam was way too sweet for me. Not everyone likes flavored butter so a knock on them for not having regular butter as an option. The okra was so good with a hint of spice. I was impressed because normally okra is good but bland. Mac n cheese was nothing special and especially not for the price. The chicken was clearly the star! Perfectly cooked and breaded with the seasoning of both being on point. Service was truly the downfall and really what kept me from giving 5 stars. It in fact almost made me drop it to 3. They charge an automatic gratuity fee of 20% on any party which I'm not okay with. We saw our water filler more than our waiter all night (at one point we thought he forgot about us). Food was good but for those prices I would find the same food with better service.

Enjoyed the service, food and ambiance. Went on a busy holiday weekend with a group of 8 people, put our name in and waited about 45 min. They text you so you can wander around while you wait instead of needing to be nearby. But make sure you're back close to the end of the time limit so you don't lose your table! Our server was excellent - he helped provide recommendations and was friendly and efficient. Food came out in a timely manner and everyone enjoyed their meals. I got the Biscuit & Gravy - a huge portion with a nicely fried chicken topped with 2 hearty pieces of bacon and egg! Definitely worth visiting!

Yardbird is one of the few restaurants that is worth trying on the Las Vegas strip. Its location was not very prominent and actually took us forever to find so just remember it's on the lower level of the Venetian. We were able to easily make reservations through Google for 830pm on a Friday. The restaurant had a large dim bar area in the front and a lit dining area towards the back. We ordered Lewellyn's fine fried chicken and the St. Louis Ribs. The fried chicken came out first and it came with about 4 pieces of chicken. They were perfectly fried and seasoned well. The hot honey was a nice addition for the chicken. The ribs were cooked to perfection. They were falling off the bone and each bit was so tender. The flavors were sweet and smokey, which I enjoyed very much. Overall I was pleasantly surprised by this meal and would recommend Yardbird to others.

The hotels and restaurants in Las Vegas are amazing and beautiful. My first time there and I got more than I expected from the whole experience. This restaurant resides inside the Bellagio. Very clean and quaint. The service was fantastic. We started with some unusual drinks that were delicious. My wife ordered the chicken and waffles. They are known for their chicken and I agree, some of the best I've had. The waffle was tender and the infused water melon was perfect. The server suggested taking a bite with a piece of waffle, chicken and watermelon all at once. An explosion of flavor! I had the wedge salad and it was great. Perfectly cooked fatback vs bacon crumbles. The dressing was good but more garlic and lemon would have elevated it to the next level. Now, this all comes at a price so don't go if you're on a budget. I'm not sure how to do Vegas on a budget but I can tell you that we didn't, but I don't regret it at all and will go back. Treat yourself to some great chicken at Yardbirds and drinks when in Vegas. BTW per the waiter they are the top rated restaurant on Yelp several years running

While wandering around The Venetian looking for a dinner spot, we stumbled upon Yardbird and couldn't resist going in after seeing its impressive 4.5-star rating on Yelp! We found ourselves in the cozy bar area, lounging on comfy couches that really set the mood for our date night. It was the perfect blend of relaxed and romantic! I started with the F.W. Southside, which came with a Fresno Chile watermelon ice cube. As it melted, the drink got increasingly spicier, adding a fun twist to each sip. For our appetizer, we shared the skillet cornbread topped with sharp cheddar, bacon, jalapeño, and honey butter. It was absolutely delicious! For our main courses, we ordered the Chicken & Waffles and the Pan Seared Scallops, served with Brussels sprouts. Both were cooked to perfection! I just wish there had been more than three scallops because they were truly fantastic. We also tried the mac & cheese as a side, which was good but didn't quite steal the show. To top off our meal, we ordered a special dessert--a strawberry shortcake that wasn't even on the menu. It was a delightful way to end our dinner! Our server was amazing--so sweet and attentive! I wish I had caught her name, as she really took great care of us. Overall, Yardbird is a gem, and I can't wait to come back for another unforgettable meal! Highly recommend!

Located inside The Venetian. The staff was so absolutely friendly and nice. Nate was my waiter and he was just as nice and helpful. Service was extremely quick. I had the chicken n waffles with the watermelon, I asked for my watermelon to not be spiced. The chicken was incredible, I think Nate said the chicken was brined for like 24 or 48 hours and I believe it because it was the best fried chicken I've had in a really long time. The place is really spacious, I was able to make a reservation with no hassle. The lighting is really dim, I had to awkwardly use my flash to get a good picture.

Ordered a grilled cheese & bisque. The grilled cheese was a satisfying light meal and dipping it in the sweet bisque certainly made this feel like comfort food. It's great if you're not looking to have a large meal and want something on the simpler end. There is indoor and patio seating, lots of TVs playing different sports. They do have a digital ordering device too but it seems useless or unavailable as some food options had a pop up saying to speak with a server. The digital device was good for paying so that was relatively easy to use. Servers are friendly and patient. Location can get busy where it is but it didn't take long for our group to be seated. Ambiance is pretty good, it gets busy and there's some decent TV playing.

Just plain loved it! The food was great!!! We had the nashville sandwich and wings. My son has a burger and fries from the kids meal. The highlight of course from the meal was the chicken. But the highlight to this whole experience was the service. We have a 5yr old and to have a waiter that took the time to ask my son in detail what he wanted and didn't. Very accommodating to families... made this experience more than we could want.

The restaurant is dark and the noise level is high. That said, it was an exceptional experience. Our server, Nathaniel was epic. He was friendly, we could hear him. He had a great demeanor and we enjoyed having him serve us. When he boxed up the leftovers, he put them in a nice yardbird packing box. He even added utensils and napkins. But the real star of the show was the food. The cornbread was perfection. There were 4 of us so tried a varied selection. Everyone loved everything. The food photos of each item we tried are posted with this review. The place is very busy so make a reservation.

Overall, this place is fun. The setting and design were superb- I especially loved the projector of old pictures and awesome music. The hostess when we entered Yardbird was one of the nicest woman I've ever met in my life. She was very accommodating and kind and us down and a great location. The food was good, but pretty heavy, we were a little disappointed that they were only serving brunch at 2:30 on a Sunday, since we had our dishes, picked out from the lunch menu before we came (obviously that was our bad). The menu is pretty limited if you want something light - everything is very heavy here. Both my husband and left with a little bit of an upset stomach just from how heavy everything was, but the main reason for three stars is below. It took a very long time to even be greeted by our server. Like 15-20mins+. When he came, visits were few and far in between and we kept having to ask for basic things the server should've gotten us. For example, water. We asked for ice water. It didn't come until after our meal had already come, and we had to ask the person who delivered our meal, which was not our waiter. We needed a condiment with our meal, but he was nowhere to be found so I had to ask another person that delivered a meal to a nearby table. at the end of the meal, we were told that Yardbird automatically adds 18% gratuity to the bill, so I guess it makes sense that our waiter had a significant lack of effort. Why be motivated for a tip that you've already gotten? Anyway, I get that this is Las Vegas but I felt it was a little bit dishonest to have an additional gratuity blank on the check when you're already charging 18%. I feel like a lot of people probably misread it and think that the additional gratuity line on the bill is the only gratuity. I was really looking forward to chicken & waffles as it's one of my favorite dishes, but I didn't really like that the chicken comes on the bone so you have to take it off the bone and put it on your own waffle. It felt like two separate dishes to be honest, the price and portion reflected two different dishes as well. Overall, I was supremely looking forward to this meal, but to be honest, the inattentive server, having to dissemble the chicken and put it on the waffle and not having multiple things during our meal that we wanted, kind of ruined it for us. I don't recommend this place for business meetings unless you are getting boneless chicken or salad - since you have to pick the chicken off the bone. It's very messy and time consuming. There is a very loud, and fun vibe going on here but it was hard to look over some of things mentioned here. Unfortunately I'm going to have to leave 3 stars. I'm thinking about coming back to try breakfast, but with so many options at the Venetian, I'm not sure after our experience that I want to spend the time, effort or money on Yardbird.

We were looking for a place to have brunch and found this place. The girls ordered mimosas and boys Bloody Mary's. Then ordered food. My niece ordered the gluten free crème brelee waffle. I had yhe yard bird breakfast sandwich and the boys both had the yardbird eggs Benedict and I got the breakfast sandwich eveything was yummy and we are glad we found this place. We would return !

The deviled eggs with bacon, jam were outstanding. I ordered the chicken breakfast sandwich, which was OK, but I am picky about chewy pieces in my meat and may have just had a bad piece of chicken. service was outstanding and everything else we ordered was delicious

Everything was delicious. Heaping amounts of food, so come hungry. You'll want to make reservations after 4pm, as it is packed and busy. Very attentive service, even on a busy night. It's a loud place, but our kids still had a great time. Kids meal came with ice cream which was the best we have had in a restaurant. We have come twice over the last couple years and have not been disappointed yet!

Yardbird is a solid fried chicken place, I think best for lunch. Most of their seating is lounge style, so it looked a little hard to eat a proper meal while hunched over. The tall tables seemed to be for reservation only, so we opted to sit at the bar. I tried the chicken sandwich, and it was not as hot as it seemed to be. The chicken and waffles was the star of the show though. The waffle itself had a nice flavor of cheese and herbs, it paired very well with their house hot sauce. The food was delicious, but very greasy and heavy. I had to sit down for about an hour after lunch. I definitely think it's overpriced, but that is sort of the trend in Vegas.

Came to try this place out on a Saturday and there was no wait for a party of 6 at around noon. They do have a reservation system on OpenTable but we just opted for a walk in. They had plenty of tables and booths for seating as well as a bar area. Everything that we ordered was delicious. The fried chicken was juicy and the batter remained crunchy. We finished an order of their whole chicken and had to order more because it was so good. The chicken also comes with waffles and some seasoned watermelon. We also had to order another plate of this because it complimented the chicken so well. I also highly recommend the creme brûlée waffle. It wasn't too sweet and the combination was 10/10 Overall, Yardbird is a nice brunch spot but service was a little slow. I would probably revisit if I'm ever in the area again.

We've eaten here several times and it never disappoints us. Llewelyn Fried Chicken is excellent, Nashville style is great too. Shrimp and Grits and very good. The Short Ribs are very good as well. It can be a little dark and be loud if you go later in the evening. We try to go earlier to avoid crowds most times. Recommend making a reservation before going as waits can be very long. Service and hostess have always been great to interact with. They explain the menu if you have questions. Drinks are always good. Sometimes they can vary in strength but still good.Yardbird has become another one of our go-to spots when at The Venetian.

Excellent food and great ambiance. Very popular place even in the middle of the afternoon. Pricey but worth it. Ordered a margarita on the rocks and it was perfect!

I think this was top 5 for chicken but for me number 1! When in Las Vegas and you're look for something that isn't $$$$ but you still need that delicious food in your belly. This won't break the bank. Inside the Venetian take a break from all the shopping and gondola riding and picture taking and enjoy the classic fried chicken and waffles dish. Also other dishes to try. Happy hour was great. Good place to take the picky eaters too.

Yummy spin on chicken and waffle. It's spicy. I enjoyed it. Will definitely go back. Their mac and cheese is good too

We were in Vegas for U2 and needed a restaurant to eat before getting in line for the show. The Venetian where we were staying has a ton of restaurants to ensure you don't go hungry. The Yardbird is one of them. We knew of the Yardbird based on the location in South Beach in Miami, Florida. The menu overall is consistent to that with the one in South Beach outside of a couple of gluten-free options for my wife. We enjoyed great cocktails such as the Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade and the Southern Peach. I enjoyed known Yardbird fare like the Biscuit and Gravy. They have gluten-free fried chicken options (as I recall). The service was spot on and fast as we enjoyed our meal in a darken, rustic interior with the lighting coming in from the casino walkway.

Traveling through the casinos we came up on the Yardbird. We had not planned to come here but our plans changed and we asked for a seat about midday. We were sat immediately in a couch, lounging type area. We didn't really need a table. The atmosphere was buzzing. The waitress we had was fantastic. She was personable and had no problem helping me find a good drink. Hubby decided to get some food while we relaxed and my father ended up coming back and joining us. They had no problem letting him come and lounge with us in his own comfy chair. Got a burger and fries. I was able to steal a bite and it was really tasty beef. Even though we had ordered food we were there mostly to chill and burn some time. We enjoyed the chill and made small talk with the waitress. She had a fabulous vibe and really enjoyed her. She even brought over a miss pour from the bar. You never say no to a freebie. I kinda wished we had come here for a full meal at dinner time but still it was a nice option. There was a large amount of people up at the bar for that type of feel and all the couches and lounging chairs were full as well. Highly recommend.

The food was awesome. Tasted amazing. Started off with the best watermelon flavored lemonade. Continuing on to our first course of cornbread and the popcorn shrimp. Both tasted great. Then the pork ribs melted in your mouth full of smoke flavor. And then the chicken and waffles come out. The best fried chicken I ever had. Finished the meal off with the key lime bar dessert. Awesome meal and service.

This place is awesome for brunch! The fried chicken, hashbrowns, and the grits are top tier here. Quality- all 4 dishes I had here were excellent. The only one that I would have potentially replaced is the chips and beef one. The chips did not come out hot and could have beeen crispier. The hashbrowns were thick and filling. The fried chicken had great seasoning and was juicy. Quantity- you get a good amount for each dish. They ranged in price from 20-25 dollars which is cheap for Vegas. Atmosphere- open and welcoming setting. Service- fast and efficient.

Atmosphere: It was very loud in the front dining area as we got there, but there were about 100 people from some conference celebrating. They sat us to the back dining area and it was a huge difference. They didn't stay long either, so it got much quieter. 1 Star Service: Fantastic! Our waiter was a great conversationalist and gave us plenty of opinions on the menu. One of our members was gluten-free and they had a ton of options for her, including the fried chicken, which she loved. 2 Stars Food: As a Southerner, it really pains me to say this, but this was the fried chicken I've ever eaten. Hands down! Juicy, crispy, and superbly seasoned! My wife had the Chicken and Waffles which came with a magnificent hot honey. Our gluten-free member had the Fried Chicken and it also came with four gluten-free cornbread muffins which she stated was the best gluten-free bread she had ever had. Now, our last member (the health conscious weirdo we like to call him) ordered the Salmon which was plated on top of what are the best black-eye peas I've ever put in my mouth. He devoured it. 2 Stars Overall: A superb experience with some amazing food. Will definitely be a regular stop for us when we visit Vegas. 5 Stars

I was thoroughly impressed with their fried chicken! Being from the south we didn't know what to expect. We've had a lot of good fried chicken over the years lol but their chicken was honestly delicious. Piping hot, flavorful juicy chicken & the hot sauce amped it up x10 lol but for real. I was so glad I went ahead & went with the chicken. I got the wedge salad on the side & it was so good. The corn was a nice touch. My husband got the filet & it was delicious. The Cajun crust took it up a notch. My father in law got the chicken & waffles. He said all was good but he missed out getting the filet lol Service was good & attentive. Ambiance was casual yet classy & the lighting was more on the dark side but it worked. Overall a great experience.

Went here on a Thursday evening. 1 Hour prior to closing. Ordered some adult beverages and ordered some fried chicken and shrimp with Grits. Within 15 mins, our food and drinks were received. Chicken was juicy and moist and the grits was fresh. The ambiance of eating fried chicken was screaming delight from our table, along with other main dishes. I would recommend! Food and Service was great! On the pricey side but you get what you pay for when visiting establishments like this. I would definitely come back! Excellent choice of food and ambiance. Customer service was satisfying.

I enjoyed dinner here. We sat at the bar and the waitstaff was friendly and efficient. Had the popcorn shrimp as an appetizer and they took awhile getting to us, which the staff was apologetic about and said they were free of charge. That was nice. Drinks were kinda sweet for my taste. I got a blackberry bourbon drink. I had a salad as my main course which was good. My boyfriend did not love his shrimp and grits though. It came with gravy which lacked flavor and didn't work to his liking. Not sure if we'll be back, but it is a fun spot. Nice atmosphere and decor.

Yardbird is a casual and comfortable place for Southern food. The ambiance is enjoyable, the food is delicious and the service is excellent. Try the light and crispy fried chicken, the best devilled egg ever and the fried green tomato BLT. Candice was a top notch server and made me feel very welcome and special! I really appreciate her exceptional service and letting me try sample size servings of the best dishes for 1. She even brought me honey and lemon to go with my hot tea, and it was the perfect sweet treat. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Located on Restaurant Row at the confluence of the The Venetian and the Pallazo, YB is a southern cuisine style place so you better bring your appetite and be sure to make reservations thru open table to ensure they have space for your party. The staff are super friendly here and the vibe is social though a little too loud to really enjoy meaningful conversations with your group. Foodwise, everything is fun and very good. For appetizers the cornbread was plentiful and excellent (4/5); the fried okra (3/5) good; fried green bacon and tomato was excellent (4.5/5); deviled eggs were good (3.5/5); I've tried the shrimp & grits (4.5); fried chicken (4.5/5); chicken and waffle (4/5) and loooove the watermelon spiced up that is served with it (5/5); the maple bourbon short rib with sweet potato's was 7/5 according to my nephew and was recommended as a personal favorite by one of the sweet staff members. All in all, the experience was fun and I enjoyed the eats, but it was a little too loud which was a buzzkill to me. It is worth checking out but bring noise cancellation headphones and you will eat comfortably.
