We drove in from Woodbridge. Well worth the trip. The Chix and Waffles should have a caution sign that let you know it is half of a chicken!!! The eggs were done to perfection. Bacon...perfect. beverages...perfect. Jimmy is the best waiter. I advise parking at the Westin or the public lot across the street.

Slow, poor service. Waited 20 minutes before anyone came to the table. Very expensive.

Big disappointment! While I appreciated the server asking about allergies my salad came without bacon due to cross contamination ( I’m GF). I was charged the same even though it was missing an important ingredient with no substitution suggested. The green drink was tasteless and expensive & we were all surprised that chicken & waffles was $42!!! Ultimately I felt the value for the experience was not worth it.

Went on a Friday night and was a little noisy, but definitely a great experience. Food and service was great and would definitely recommend to anyone. Great location on the corner so was easy to find. Also very kid friendly if you have little ones that you want to bring.

Nice dining experience at Yardbird prior to a Friday night hockey game. Food quality was good. Only downside was service. Our server greeted us when we arrived and brought our water and spoke briefly about the drink menu. Then he disappeared for about 20 minutes. He knew we were unhappy about the delay so he brought us complimentary wine. The delay caused us to be late for the game

Had a great meal and wonderful service. Don’t leave without sharing the Bacon Chocolate Cake. Fantastic but huge. Share with the entire table. You will not regret it.
