Crunchy fried chicken that isn’t greasy. A nice selection of sauces and various menu options including fried chicken, fried halloumi cheese and cauliflower wings. A good craft beer selection and unique cocktails are available. The staff were friendly and accommodating, even though they were very busy with delivery orders. I would recommend and come back for good quality food.

Yardbirds is the opposite side of Birmingham to where we live, but it's so worth the travel. Their chicken is phenomenal. The coating is so perfect! Even the simple 'strips and chips' option feels special. Love the chipotle mayo. Try to make it to one of their brunch days. Chicken and waffles at its finest. The team are so cheery. They were also absolutely amazing at accommodating a table of 16 for my birthday brunch, and as a bonus, they're dog friendly so our pup comes with us to help hoover up any mess. We love Yardbirds.

Me and my wife came to Yardbirds tonight to eat for the first time and it was so much better than we expected. We booked ahead as Wednesdays are two for one burgers and expected it to be busy. We were welcomed as soon as we arrived and shown to our seats and the menu explained to us, as well as the drinks specials. Straight forward menu as you’d hope, and plenty of various specials beers in draft and in can. It was nice to have clarity non the less. Soon after Amy arrived to take our order, an extremely friendly and bubbly member of staff, who answered all our questions and was very attentive. Within minutes she arrived with our drinks and a snack to keep us going while our order was cooked, which arrived fairly quick given it was a fairly busy evening. Our food arrived pipping fresh and hot, 2 burgers and a loaded fries. The food was so delicious and much, much better than I had previously had when I’ve had Yardbirds from street food vans. I would highly recommend Yardbirds to anyone who was visiting Stirchley, not only for the food but for the friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. And a special shout out to Amy who made our visit memorable, just because of how bubbly and friendly you are. We’ll be back.

We had an amazing experience at Yardbirds today ( to be honest we always do) Amy served us today and she was absolutely incredible! Our eldest is autistic and she soon put him and the rest of my family at ease and the service was brilliant! Kids had their favorite films on, Food was fresh, hot and so tasty we had no complaints! Milkshakes are so yummy too! One of our favourite places to go eat!:)

Really impressed! Food was fantastic, staff really welcoming and the kids club (headphones provided with films on the big screen... What an idea!) The design is really well thought out - wide, open walkways and the tables don't feel crammed together. Would highly recommend - well done to the owners. Will absolutely be back
