Best Southern American Restaurants in Valparaiso, IN

Cute little spot right around the corner to eat at.

Food quality and choices are exceptional. Everything was unique with tons of flavor. The Gumbo, short rib, pork steak and mac and cheese are all divine. The service was mostly reasonable. The staff are all exceptionally nice but our drinks came after our food, we had to ask multiple times for refills. We ordered family style, which was great, but the food arrived and we had no individual plates to serve the food and had to flag someone down to get them. Overall I highly recommend it but for the price I would expect better attention to detail from the staff. I will go back because the food is that good!

It was amazing . I’ve been wanting to go there for a minute. My boyfriend took me after a long 9 hour shift. I couldn’t be anymore grateful. The service was 10/10. Barely waited 10 minutes for our food . Will be back again ! Thank you for having us .

This was my first time at Yardbird and we had a great time. My bf loves bourbon and we opted for the “Dealer’s Choice” bourbon flight. Leni our server was amazing and she took the experience seriously. It was a joy to watch her and her crew select the options and even more of a joy for my bf to try them. When we go back, we would definitely request her service.

This was our thrid visit to Root &Bone and we have been pleasantly pleased each time. On this visit we had a very thoughtful and attentive server, as we have each time. The menu selection was good, the temperature and noise level were comfortable, and dining room and bathrooms clean. There were six in our party and all but one was very pleased with their food. My husband’s ribeye was just okay, not great, but my duck breast was fantastic, as were the fried green tomatoes appetizer. My only disappointment was that all the cocktails were all sweet, I always enjoy a savory cocktail choice so I stuck with a beer. Although the location is not the best for is, we will be back.
