The missus and I love going to Yard Bird. The brisket is fantastic, the ribs and chicken are very good but could do with more sauce, onion rings are out of this world, but the Nantucket was a bit disappointing however. The staff are excellent and nothing is too hard for them and they do the best Black Russian cocktail
Won’t ever be returning!
Overpriced meals, poor quality food and average service. Such a disappointing night out. Wine tasted off, kids soft drink didn’t taste right either so drinks were left almost full on table. When mentioning the wine issue to wait staff the response was ‘it’s Mitchelton’. The bucket of shrimp (6 regular size prawns) for $19 is a total rip off. A side of slaw was a tiny bowl of average, overly dressed coleslaw for $6. Ribs were lacking flavour and at a cost of $36 they should be outstanding! If visiting Bendigo or staying at the Shamrock, avoid this place and go elsewhere.
Nice room and a good idea, but the food lets this place down.
I had brisket, which was horrendously overpriced. $25 for 2 pieces around 2cm thick and approx 7cm square! I expect brisket to be melt in the mouth, which this wasn’t (it was tender). The worst part however was the poor excuse for a salad that came with it. Iceberg lettuce, 3 cherry tomatoes and 4 slivers of cucumber. No dressing! My partner had pork ribs which were falling off the bone with tenderness. Everything is coated in sickly sweet sauces which can be overpowering. The corn bread was pretty ordinary.
They serve all food on custom printed paper on the plate, which is really awkward to eat off.
Worst of all, there’s no desserts! Drinks selection is good.
Service was a little inattentive but friendly. I think they had trainee staff.
Won’t be returning here.
I like yard bird I’m happy with the ribs (not enough sauce) tender and good, brisket was good, sides are a bit sorry, no Mac n cheese, I would have liked mash potato, onion rings were overcooked, wings were good, saucy and hot, no desserts was a big let down, it’s so easy to buy some brownies from a bakery heat one up add a scoop of ice cream and drizzle hot fudge on it, heck even McDonald’s can do that.
Went there yesterday for Valentines Day drinks as a group of 4
2 wanted beers… were served in cans though menu clearly states BOTTLES (stubbies)
Other 2 wanted cocktails…. well…
first cocktail took 20mins to make and serve…. the other cocktail took yet ANOTHER 20mins….
YARDBIRD needs to lift its game for us to return anytime soon
First time I went it was average.
Went a second time to give it another chance.
Won’t be back again.
Waited for menus (waitress forgot) ended up getting them ourselves.
Ordered, waited over an hour, told bar staff and apparently they lost our order…
Food came out cold and mac and cheese seemed like a 6 y/o produced it (grated cheese ontop of pasta).
Staff were oblovious to everyone freezing, so we took it upon ourselves to put down the plastic cover (tables next to us thanked us).
Left hungry, cold and annoyed
Wow that was an ‘interesting’ experience to say the least. It was lovely to be able to finally sit alfresco. The lean on the old verandah however is slightly off putting. Device was extremely slow and the food even longer. The 2 girls waitressing did not cope at all with what I would say was a slow, but moderate size customer base for the night. The lack of veggies was just wrong; yes I know it’s meant to be American style food, but really?! The spice on the chips was nice and there was nothing amazing about the sauce on the ribs. Chicken was good but some greens would have been nice.
