Wow! This place out did itself on every level. First of all, the service was impeccable. Our server, Christian, was very knowledgeable about the entire menu and he wasn’t overly intrusive about us ordering food as we chose to get appetizers one by one. Another thing were the drinks. We’re tequila drinkers and they don’t hold back on the liquor at all. Well worth the money. To our surprise the manager, Marty Lawrence, came to our table and asked how we liked everything? He ended up staying for the longest time entertaining us with his witty conversation. My wife and I were pleasantly pleased with all the food choices we made, mostly suggested by Christian and Marty. Everything was perfectly seasoned and came out very quickly from the kitchen as we ordered it. I definitely recommend you stopping by. Great place to indulge in food and drinks.
What a lovely gem under the Beverly Center with creative takes on Southern staples. The deviled eggs have a tower of filling, the BLT has no bread (fried green tomatoes are the "bread"), and the waffle in the chicken and waffles is cheddar. The staff was delightful and the drinks were top notch too.
(I didn't get a pic of the full chicken and waffles portion but it comes with four big pieces of chicken. The one in the pic is the smaller portion on the lunch prix fixe.)
Wonderful dining experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting. Our Beef Short Rib Pasta was most delicious and our cocktails were perfect. The bartenders were very knowledgeable and very creative. The Key Lime Pie was the BEST!! But the Apple Cobbler was a miss for me, just not sweet enough & way too tart. But management was awesome & resolved our issue in a friendly, polite and quick manner. Highly recommend dining here for date nights, large groups or solo.
Great chain. This location has an incredible staff that makes you feel very at home. 10/10 would return here for some cocktails from my guy Nathan. Class act. Classy staff.

I originally came here for a drink. I was in the mood for a margarita and Yardbird happened to be attached to the Beverly Center, which I was wandering around in. The decor was stunning and the staff was attentive.
The bartender talked me into getting a sweet rim instead of my normal salt. It was delicious. He topped it off with a strawberry instead of lime. I can’t recall if their margarita included watermelon or strawberry but it was so refreshing. (This was in 2021 so don’t fault me.)
I glanced over at the guest next to me and saw how delicious the food was and decided I needed to try a bite. Yardbird is contemporary yet traditional Southern food so it’s definitely got that comfort factor. Everything brought out from the kitchen smelled delicious and was plated so beautifully.
I ordered their Mac and Cheese and Crispy Brussels sides. Both were so decadent and rich! It makes me look forward to visiting Yardbird again in the future to try more of their menu. I’m glad I happened upon this gem and I think you will be too if you decide to go!

Really fantastic food. I had the Mac and Cheese and French fries. The Mac was creamy and flavorful with a nice crunchy topping served in a little cast iron dish. It was a little expensive for the portion size but it really was first rate. The fries were perfect. They have a thin crispy seasoned coat and are perfectly done (got without the bacon salt). Again, a *little* pricy for the portion but they were amazing.
Friend who is gluten free said the 1/2 chicken was absolutely outstanding.
The one slightly odd thing was the service. The hostess made us wait for almost 10 minutes to seat us even though there were plenty of tables open. The waiter was really attentive and great but the kitchen's timing was a little off and prepared my food well in advance and it just sat there under the heat lamp for a while until my friend's chicken was done. Why not just serve it? So it was only kind of warm when it arrived. That being said, speaks volumes that even a little cold, the Mac and cheese and fries were spectacular.

Hope everyone is doing great!! I found a great place to review and recommend. I was here last weekend. I love southern food. I lived in the south for many years and miss it terrible so when I stumbled into these amazing IG pictures and it being very close to me, I made my reservations with a quickness. I decided with the help of my great waiter named Kris that legit made my whole experience that much better, I ordered the very crispy chicken and very fresh fluffy waffles along side cubed watermelon the perfect touch sweet savory lots of syrup and hot sauce on my finger tips. I was so delighted with my dish, I got a hamburger and fries for my son just absolutely put a smile on his face from ear to ear, we topped it of with dessert a huge warm just made cinnamon bun cream cheese icing with pecans on top. The portions are so big and well executed. I need to come back for the Mac and lobster. This place is clean bright full bar amazing staff parking was a breeze in the mall. Great family or date restaurant reconnecting with friends which is much needed right now, hope you go and enjoy it!! I only post the best!!
I was so happy that Yardbirds is located in Los Angeles. It was fun, friendly, and fantastic food. The services were awesome. Parking is great. It is a little pricey but worth it.

We love this place! From the awesome Southern style food to the great service, it simply cannot be beat! Right in the Beverly Center. Shout out to Tommy M. for his great service today!
UPDATE: Took my friend there for lunch on Black Friday. We were seated by the person handling frontdesk. Then about 10 minutes later we were informed by that same individual that we had to vacate, as their kitchen was closed between brunch & dinner. It was 2:45 pm when we arrived. We began to leave, as instructed, when a very wonderful employee named Rogelio Chavez told us to stay, & that the kitchen was, indeed, still open. Rogelio treated us to homemade biscuits & even offered us dessert for the mishap. His Mgr., Peter Maldonado also apologized. Bravo to employees like MR. ROGELIO CHAVEZ, for making such a big difference in our day.
The waiter was amazing. He made sure we were content and recommended great dishes. We had the Ribs, Fried chicken, collard greens, and fingerling potatoes with the best cornbread We have ever tasted! I would recommend starting with one item and then seeing if you need to add more items. The portions were a good size for sharing. The music was a bit loud and the area was a bit dim but overall the experience was great.
