Best Southern American Restaurants in McKinney

Our food was top notch! The waffles are like pillows from heaven! Our service was fantastic! Will be back as much as possible! Fried chicken was the best I’ve ever had!

I took my girlfriend here for her birthday and was recommended this restaurant. First, I will start out with the drinks. I ordered a Moscow Mule and my gf ordered the eggnog martini and followed up with an expresso martini. The Moscow mule was ehh and my gf didn’t enjoy her eggnog martini (I liked it lol). The expresso martini was a step up from the eggnog martini for her, but where the drinks left a void, the food easily filled it. For appetizers, she ordered the deviled eggs and I order the smoked salmon. Both of the starters were so good. I really could have just ordered the salmon and been happy lol. For entrees, I ordered the YB Nashville Hot Chicken with Brussels at the side and she ordered the fresh catch of the day, which were crab cakes, with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. She absolutely loved the crab cakes and the mashed potatoes. The Mac and cheese, she wasn’t the biggest fan of. Overall, I would say the food was amazing. The design of the restaurant is easily one of our favorites to ever dine in. The interior design is so beautiful and enhances the dining experience. Oh!! And the birthday dessert was amazing! It was a cookies & cream ice cream scoop with three fried Oreos. It made me feel as if I was back home in Alabama for a second lol. We will definitely be back to dine again in the near future. Thank you Yardbird for helping make my girlfriend’s birthday one to remember!

Food was excellent and Our Waitress Rene was Fabulous!! Will Definitely have again

Most of the food selection was superb including the mango Fritters, Gumbo, greens, corn bread and Texas Redfish. What was sub-par was the Lava Cake. We expect this cake to have a molten chocolate center and instead it had a solid core. The pairing of the chocolate cake and Lime ice cream was a contrast in tastes that did not work. However the cornbread was scrumptious, the gumbo was fabulous and the Red Fish was fantastic. When we don't have to reach for the pepper , we know the food is spiced well. We recommend everything but the Lava Cake.

They weren't busy for a Friday night. Service was good, food and drinks were delicious. Took food home with their chocolate cake that's ridiculously good. Great value, and the food is on point!
