The Fashionable Esq: Yardbird Southern Table & Bar

Yardbird Southern Table & Bar Fried Green Tomatoes BLT

If you've lived in, or visited Miami in the last five years, chances are that you've been to Yardbird Southern Table & Bar. The southern-style restaurant was the first of it's kind to hit the city. It debuted among a ton of fried-chicken fanfare, and continues to be a place where people go for specialty cocktails and country style cooking.

Last month, in response to popular demand, Yardbird extended its hours and rolled out a $25 lunch menu. Now, you can grab some breakfast as early as 8:30 AM on the weekends, or stop in for a late night snack, because they're open until midnight. Also, happy hour has been extended from 4PM-7PM. (Yardbird has a beautiful bar area, with a full range of liquor). If you're a bourbon fan, you'll want to sample their selection, which they infuse in-house with ingredients like bacon, and honey.

The new lunch menu is available Monday through Friday, from 11AM - 4PM. For the lunch menu, you can choose between the Deviled Eggs or the Fried Green Tomatoes BLT as a starter. For the entree, you get the Lewellyn's 1/2 Fried Chicken. Dessert includes your choice of a Fried Oreo or Beignets.

The food is delicious and satisfying. I've never had a bad meal at this place. If you swing by, please try the pork ribs, fried chicken and the fried green tomatoes.

Something else that's worth mentioning about Yardbird - the waitstaff and management are very friendly and pleasant. That goes a long way when (and I hate to say this), Miami is at times, not most hospitable of places.
