Rotisserie Chicken
Yardbird is our rotisserie chicken restaurant upstairs above The Dirty Onion. Our menu is small but our flavours are big. Ok, we do chicken, but our chicken is famous!

Our local free-to-roam chicken is marinated for 24 hours in lemon, buttermilk, and paprika. It is then dry-rubbed, cooked and blast-chilled to keep it juicy and finally roasted on the spit. Ribs and wings are also available, as are a choice of sides and homemade desserts. Hungry yet?

We prepare all our food in-house and service is fast!

This is a booking for Yardbird the restaurant, The Dirty Onion bar operates on a first come first serve basis.

    This is the best chicken restaurant I have ever visited, we had to change our booking time on Sunday 14th May and the staff were so helpful and the service great. I wish there was more Yardbird restaurants in or around Liverpool - it’s always top of our list of restaurants when in Belfast.

    The portion of the quarter chicken was quite small for price charged. The piece of chicken breast was quite dry. The avocado salad which consisted of leaves and some avocado slices was wet with excess water gathered on the plate. Other food options may be of better value. Service was nice and friendly.

    We very much enjoyed our meal last night in Yardbird. The menu was deceptively simple and would cater for various levels of hunger/desire for complexity. The cheesecake was a masterpiece - one of the best I've had. By today's standards it was reasonably priced. The atmosphere was good and the service excellent.

    A great place for casual dining. The food is delicious at very reasonable prices and the service was very pleasant and helpful. I also like the background blues music, which gives this eatery it's authentic ambience of an American dinner in the deep south. Can't fault it really!

    Can't fault food or atmosphere or staff but I can fault table booked for 8pm and food served at 9pm, with another table, who arrived after us, served before. Once order was taken not one came near us to say anything or update. Food was really nice and very reasonably priced, just slow to arrive.
