Yard Bird LLC: A Hidden Gem in Waskom, TX for Flavorful Southern Cuisine

So stopped by when I can. Myself and coworker had the special. Ribeye sandwich w/ potato salad and sweet tea. Always a great place to stop to get a bite to eat and relax.

Saw this place when I stopped for the day at the Texas welcome center. Their menu looks great from top to bottom but I had to try the Blackened Shrimp Po boy and the Alligator Andouille sausage. They both were made quick and were delicious and fresh. The sausage had a nice little kick to them and was really filling. Definitely a cool little spot that I wouldn't have ever found without stopping at this rest area. Quick service, great food and choices, and very friendly staff! Give this place a try!

Very cute place. Food was delicious. Our server Annalie was awesome. The alligator sausage po-boy was great. My mom enjoyed the sausage gravy and biscuits with the side of hashbrown.

What a surprise! I live in Greenwood, LA. The food choices are not the best but 2 weeks ago we discovered Yard Bird in Waskom, TX. The food was fantastic, the place was super clean and our food that we got to go, was ready quickly, correctly and really good! Pork Chops is what we ordered and they tasted like my mother cooked them! Do you and your family a go or and stop by there!

This place is amazing! Rest stop right before exit 635 on I-20 west side. Carlos (owner) is so nice, menu is fabulous! We had Gator andouille sausage po’boy & cole slaw - delish! Cappuccino was great too! Atmosphere super welcoming! Tell your friends and don’t miss going there! It will be a frequent stop for me any time I’m coming through again!

The service was great. The space was super cool. Stopped in for a bite while getting off interstate for a minute. I ordered a BLT, but the bread choices should include just plain bread. I opted for a po boy. Hmmmm, way too much bread. Ingredients were pretty fresh, though. By the name, I was expecting chicken... but sadly, it's not a chicken place.

Being on the road constantly I'm always looking for new places to dive dine. Some are hits while others are misses. Yard Bard was definitely a HOME-RUN!!! Definitely not what I was expecting sitting by a test area on the intestate. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and was immediately given a drink. (Ordered a coke sadly. Wish I'd thought to try an iced mocha!) After looking over the menu and having the days special recommended to me by the waiter, I decided on the special. And I'm very glad I did. The special was a ribeye (16oz I believe) with two sides and bread. I opted for corn and a side salad. The corn was good and the side salad was great. The side salad was made with spring mix instead of the usual lettuce that most places serve. Now let's talk about that ribeye. OMG!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!! I'm a medium rare type of guy. Most places significantly overcook their meat. Not here. It was PERFECT! Tasted great with amazing seasonings. Nothing like a great tasting thick and juicy steak. I cannot say enough good about this. Lol. About half way through my meal I was asked if I would need a box to go. I did not. I finished every last bite of that delicious meal! Will I be back? ABSOLUTELY!!! And I recommend you go try 'em out, too. Update 11/3/23 Had the same steak today and it was cooked to the same perfection as last time. This guy KNOWS his steak!!!

Very delicious food, they aren’t skimpy on the meat either. The Brisket street tacos are seasoned to perfection and cut thick also the chicken quesadilla was pack with seasoned chicken . Will definitely come back.
