    We had an incredible dining experience at Yardbird during our honeymoon. The service was top-notch—our server was friendly, and the manager personally greeted us, which was a lovely touch. The food was fantastic! As a Southern cuisine fan, I can be picky, but everything we ordered was excellent. We started with the **deviled eggs**, and while I prefer them with shrimp at home, they were still a solid start. Then came the **Fried Green Tomato BLT Stack**—pork belly, pimento cheese, and tomato jam. This was absolutely delicious, the perfect combination of flavors. The **Mac & Cheese** with five artisanal cheeses was rich and creamy, though not mind-blowing—solid 8/10. For the entrées, the **Chicken & Waffles** with spiced watermelon and bourbon maple syrup was my first time trying this classic, and it was divine. The crispy chicken and the sharp cheddar waffles with grilled watermelon were the perfect balance of savory and sweet. The **Shrimp & Grits** had perfectly seasoned shrimp and flavorful toppings, but the grits were a little too coarse for my taste—7/10. We had drinks—the **Bloody Mary** was spectacular, and the **Passionfruit Breeze** was nice but took a backseat to the Bloody Mary. For dessert, the **Banana Pudding Cheesecake** was *amazing*—100/10. The vibe at Yardbird was perfect—not too loud, so we could enjoy our meal without shouting. Overall, Yardbird is a must-visit for anyone craving Southern comfort food with great service and a relaxed atmosphere.

    Great food and good service. We did have an issue where the bottom of my friend's glass fell off out of nowhere spilling her drink all over her lap and on my feet/down my boot. They quickly cleared it up and gave my friend her food for free.

    It was a great experience, per usual. Leni was great and so is the manager. Definitely a spot to keep in rotation.
