Yardbird Southern Fried Chicken in Zürich (Kreis 12)

Best chicken wings in town. Personnel is also awesome. Once I ordered food and came 15 mins late to pick it up and they remade it so that we could eat warm.

We made a mistake with our ubereats delivery address, and the quality of service that we got from the staff at the shop was over and beyond anything we could have expected. Totally satisfied, and they are very highly recommended. Not only did we get personal attention, but also very friendly follow-up calls, and total satisfaction at the end. Top marks!

High quality original southern style fried chicken since many year. Always a pleasure to be back!

Its nice and reasonably priced for Zurich.The portions are good size and ideal for groups.The drinks are a bit on the hipster side but you will be fine.I loved the buffalo wings.

Me and some friends enjoyed a very pleasant atmosphere with candle light and happy music.The serving was good and the food tasted great.But I was not happy with the value. If you just look at the prices it seems like an average Zurich place, but for me the classic chicken contained only 5 pieces (bones includedwhich seemed quite small.And the stuff told me they do not have anything bigger, so the only solution was to order 2 meals and spend more than 60 bucks.When I go to a fried chicken place I expect to be well fed for not that much money.Suggestion for the restaurant: one size does not fit all: please offer more options smaller and larger in terms of meet quantity!

Super delicious Chicken , amazing place you have to go if you love Chicken 🐔❤️‍🔥

My boyfriend loves this place :)Nice cozy restaurant for decent fried chicken 👌

Excellent dinner with friends in a great atmosphere. We ordered nachos, wings sides and desserts to share. Grapefruit beer was very good, very tasty IPA, the old fashioned was superb. From booking until we left, the attention was 10/10. Well deserved 5 stars.

We celebrated my son’s 13th birthday here because he loves fried chicken. The atmosphere is homey and hip with a warm ambiance. My husband is gluten-free and it was a welcome surprise that everything fried was done using rice flour. The staff were warm and friendly. We would return in a heartbeat.

If you are a fan of fried chicken.... Dont look further.

Fresh and good portion but unfortunately the taste was far away from real Nashville Hot wings - spiciness 1/10. ambience nice, waiters good.

Fun casual restaurant. Food was very yummy especially the fried chicken! Good cocktails!

If you like very fatty, greasy food, then this is the place for you.While I am thankful that everything was gluten-free, the fried chicken was very heavy on the stomach.The service was excellent.

The burger were ok but the chicken wings are probably one of the best I’ve ever had! Never miss the lemon pepper wings, they’re to die for. The fries and the coleslaw were delicious and the staff were awesome!

Buffalo Wings are the best in Zürich I’ve had so far. Friendly staff and fast service also!

we really enjoyed the garlic parmesan and seoul wings! the sides were also really delicious! but 2 chf for tap water is too expensive ><

Great Southern style fried 🐔. Buffalo sauce is good, blue cheese needs work, mine was solid! Also more than one stalk of celery would be appreciated! 😂 Still, very good and tasty. Would recommend.

If you’re craving fried chicken, this is the best place in all of Switzerland. Must have is the fried chicken skin 🤤. They also have the wings in different flavours. I myself prefer the spicy sauces, Parmesan garlic and the lemon and pepper. The staff is extremely friendly and the service is super fast.

Great food. Had the Chicken Skins for starters and the the Classic Chicken Wings with Cole Slaw on the side. Really very tasty and there are enough other variations to satisfy your taste. Very nice and friendly staff. Two things are keeping me from giving 5 stars: 1. The music is far to loud and because people are trying to drown it out to have a conversation it makes the overall noise even worse. 2. The prices for the drinks are robbery. I can’t find a different word sorry. I know gastronomers love the margins they get on the drinks they sell and unfortunately it’s common practice in Zurich and in Switzerland in general to overprice beverages, but this just feels wrong (e.g. the cheapest bottled beer is CHF 8 for 0,33 l and it goes up to CHF 12).

Weve been here for so many time, I lost count! We always order cheezy nachos with the three sauces and never got disappointed. Its SO GOOD. The fried chicken is very good as well, they have a lot of options. This time we ordered the mixed chicken to share for two. Very delicious :-The place seems a little bit too small, so we sit very close to the people next to us. Thats alright though.

Seoul are the best, the dirty fries are not worth it.

I really want to love this place. American comfort food is outstanding and happy that there is an outlet trying to do it justice in Zurich. However Yardbird falls a little short and I dont feel I can give 5 stars.On the positive, I can highly recommend the Nashville hot chicken sandwich which tasted amazing, if only perhaps slightly over fried (but thats being nitpicky, would still give it 5/5). With regards to chicken wings, these were fine - tasty and crispy - but not significantly better than what you might find in a chicken fast food joint. And this also matters because the price tag is quite hefty at c.25-30 francs for 9 wings! Expensive, even for Zurich. Desserts were also good, but nothing outstanding. What was really disappointing were the cheese fries, limp and lacking in flavor. Their sister restaurant The Bite does a good job at these so not sure why the discrepancy.Overall a positive experience but needs to step up a little to reach 5*

Best place for fried chicken in Zürich. Theres a bunch of options and all are delicious, we have tried them all after going there multiple times and ordering home as well. My favorite is the American dream but when Im feeling up to, I get the stupid hot wings for an extra kick. The nachos and burgers are also great options. And the cocktails are amazing to top it all off.

Chicken is outstanding, although I wished I got the bbq chicken rather than the garlic/Parmesan one as it was a bit bland in comparison.Prices seem fine, not sure about the platters though, isn’t the point of ordering the platter that it’s cheaper for larger groups?Regardless will be coming back to try the other flavors

Great place, nice food, tasty and well cooked. Service could be better. I had a reservation for dinner, it said my seat was reserved for 1h 30m, but after 1h (and with 30 minutes to spare), we got asked 2 times to leave the table, which seems quite rude to me since we had just finished eating and still had half a glass of beer and maybe we wanted to order a dessert. We left the seats after 10 minutes (20 minutes before the expiration of our reservation time), after finishing the beers first, but this treatment still left a bitter taste in my mouth to be honest.

If youre craving for fried chicken and beer, this is the place to be. The chicken is nice and tasty, perfect munchies for long conversations with friends after a grueling exam at uni 😂 For the best value, order a sharing platter if there are 2-3 of you. Pair the chicken with their signature grapefruit beer. The ambience is great and the RnB music puts everything in the right mood. En guete !

Nice restaurant 😀, however, it really annoyed me that they did not told me if I want the order wings or half chicken. But the food was goodI went again and I have told them that I want whole pieces and it was amazing 😊😊

Not mind-blowing but good fried chicken. Staff is very kind and tables are not too packed.

Very good fried chicken and waffles. The cookie sandwich dessert is also very good. Cool old school Hiphop soundtrack and the staff are awesome, I highly recommend it!

Wings were delicious! Very good service and the restaurant is very nice. With a lack of fried chicken places in Zurich, this is the place to go. The only downside was the dirty fries portion size, it was very small.

We ate salad and the "American dream". I like the taste of fried chicken. A special taste is provided by the sweetness of the sauce. I am certainly interested in trying other flavors in the future.

A total let down.My Bourbon Sweet Tea cocktail was sour and not sweet at all, our food - we ordered a Metropolitan platter, was a joke, Seoul chicken was burnt and black, Buffalo style pieces were sour and the Classic ones were fried beyond crispy, in fact they were hard and impossible to eat. Coleslaw was watery and tasteless and the only good thing we actually ate were the dirty fries.When we asked for a bill we were told its only cash due to some system error but could pay with PayPal, which we did to a private email address of the male waiter. Chf 96 for a disappointing meal.Dont think we will be visiting this restaurant again especially as today I am stuck home with upset stomach. Meh.

Best chicken in town! Love it. The only downside is it’s almost always full so maybe book in advance before you come. My best pick is the Seoul Chicken

This restaurant hold its reputation very well.Awesome workers, variety of dishes and you can mix and match between them!I ordered the buffalo menu with 2 chicken pieces from the classic one.Taste was way more delicious than i thought.I like their ranch sauce.I only wish they were available in genève.

Excellent place to eat. Good food, great drinks and attentive waitstaff. Highly recommend.

The chicken were really good, the meat itself is flavorful. The chicken skin wasnt as good as I have expected . Coleslaw is perfect to balance the fried chicken. Tres Leche dessert was also good but too sweet for my taste.

Although it was takeaway, it didnt take away any ounce of flavor from this loaded fried chicken flavor-bomb.Taste the American Dream - you wont regret this unique blend of sweet and oh so savory goodness!Huge portion, even a pregnant lady couldnt finish her chicken.Hit all those American notes Ive been missing.Dont even dare to compare to KFC - this is MUCH MORE!

Great comfort food. The ambiance makes you feel at home and its super lively. The cocktails taste amazing. A great point would be to reserve a table before hand because they get pretty full.

Loved the platter for three with the wings and dirty fries. The red wine selection was a bit limited, but the Chilean Malbec was super good.

Very nice fried chicken with different flavor.Fresh and Tasty. Also with good music and atmosphere!

The chicken with the marinade on it especially BBQ chicken is too much. The marinade has an overtaste and you dont realize that you eat chicken. Chicken with sauce separate is much better and more enjoyable. Rethink your bbg chicken recipe is too sweet and overflavoured.

Solid fried chicken. Yes, prices are on the high side, but this is Zurich. Have visited twice and quality is consistent. Portion sizes are fairly decent. Good beer selection as well. Make sure to make a booking

Fried chicken made with love! From the guys from The Bite and Brisket comes another out of this world cuisine. The recipes combine freshness, modernity, soul food and home style cooking. The menu is simple and overly tasty. It might not sound exciting but youve never eaten such fried chicken outside the US. Enjoy your meal with some delicious cocktails of the bar, you wont regret it.

Very casual place serving good amount of chicken per serving. The service was nice and fast... A bit too fast: we wanted a cola and they were gone before I could say "with ice". The nachos are good, and the chicken is tender, quite soft inside. I got the BBQ medium one with the dirty fries and had a bit of trouble finishing it, so yeah the portions are all right.Also it had a good selection of music, but it was far too loud inside for our taste. We really had to speak very loud to hear each other across the table.It has plenty of seating outside, so if you dont mind people smoking, you can avoid the loud music.

We were driving dowm the road and saw a sign that said southern fried chicken. Being from the south, we thought we would give it a try. Much to our surprise and delight the food looked awesome and tasted great. The waiting staff was very attentive even with a full house. The homemade sauce only enhanced the taste of the already great chicken. My husband complimented them on the food and the music multiple times. They played rap music that we grew up hearing and it felt like home. This is a must visit restaurant, and reservations are encouraged.

This restaurant is specialized for fried chicken, the food was tasty, unfortunately the chicken was dry and they have no dessert card. For a easy going dinner is this restaurant good to go. But i expected more.

Went for lunch - awesomeness! Got the classic fried chicken, Tennessee style. Good size portion with a choice of sides (fries, slaw or ?salad?- went with fries. Chicken was excellent, very crispy on the outside, tender and moist inside. Good if subtle flavour. Fries were excellent too, although a little salty. Was down with an IPA in the sun. All good. Suggestions - the hot sauce and ranch are good, but a sweeter sauce would be good too -BBQ or even just a ketchup. Will be back!

Its ok. I didnt think the chicken, nor the fries, nor the nachos & guacamole were noteworthy nor particularly good. It is acceptable as food. However, its expensive and therefore I cant give it more than 3 stars. I must honestly say I thought KFC was better.

Friendly staff, nice choice of chicken with different styles. The menu is focused on chicken so I would not recommend if you are looking for something else. They also serve a range of interesting craft beer.

Great food & staff. Never been to the South for the original stuff but will definitely come here again soon! Good spice and loved the three pepper sauce as much as the guacamole on the nachos. We shared a cookie dough and left very full & happy. Lets see if Ill even consider going back to The Bite...;-)
