Yardbird

Top choice in South Beach


Yardbird has earned a die-hard following for its delicious haute Southern comfort food. The kitchen churns out some nice shrimp and grits, St Louis–style pork ribs, charred okra, and biscuits with smoked brisket, but it's most famous for its supremely good plate of fried chicken, spiced watermelon and waffles with bourbon maple syrup.

The setting is a shabby-chic interior of distressed wood, painted white brick columns, wicker basket–type lamps and big windows for taking in the passing street scene.
