A foot-stompin’, soul-healin’ brunch at Yardbird

Growing up Southern is a privilege. It runs a helluva lot deeper than just where you're born. It's a set of ideals passed down through generations. Sure, it's about sweet tea and swimmin' holes, front porches and fried chicken, magnolias and Moon Pies. But more importantly, it's about being devoted to your roots; having a sense of place, of tradition, of family, hard work and each other.

Channeling this spirit is the critically acclaimed Yardbird Southern Table & Bar, a restaurant that values farm-fresh ingredients, classic Southern cooking, culture and hospitality. Helmed by award-winning restaurateur John Kunkel, the original location was recognized by the James Beard Foundation as Best New Restaurant and was listed among America's Best New Restaurants by Bon Appetit.

Stop by their much-anticipated Las Vegas outpost, cop a seat and sample the fresh, inventive takes on regional Southern fare for supper, seven days a week, or for brunch on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. They'll keep a place set for you.
