Yardbird Southern Table & Bar
“The Best Fried Chicken in the U.S.” - Food & Wine
Miami may be about as far south as you can get in the U.S., but The Magic City wasn’t much of a destination for Southern classics until Yardbird opened its doors in the heart of South Beach in 2011. From the moment it debuted, Yardbird immediately drew rave reviews and huge crowds for its craveable American dishes, and it remains a Miami must-visit to this day.
Yardbird is most renowned for its fried chicken, which is brined for 27 hours, dredged in a secret spice blend, fried, and partnered up with a cheddar waffle and spiced watermelon. It’s been named some of the best fried chicken in America by countless food publications, and it’s shipping nationwide along with their famed biscuits, smoked brisket and Chocolate Bourbon Bacon Cake!
