    I made reservations with OpenTable during Valentin's Day weekend. We came in and got seated immediately. Our server was Alexa. She was phenominal with giving suggestions for drinks, food, and specials. I got the heavenly eggs, and my fiance got collard greens dip. Excellent. I went with the chicken and specialty waffle of the month, which was red velvet. Crispy, flaky waffle, not overbearing seasoned chicken, and give you the option of whitw or dark meat with you waffles. I also had a side of yams and macaroni & cheese. My fiance got banana pudding waffles and a side of lobster mac. Everything was delicious. We got the special dessert, which was the Strawberry Trifle. So good. Not overly sweet. 10/10 recommend. Now I have got to find the number for them to cater my wedding!

    We had an incredible dining experience at Hen Quarter Prime. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the perfect tone for the evening. The lighting was just right—cozy but not too dim—while the soft background music added to the relaxing ambiance. The service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who made excellent recommendations. The food was the real star of the night—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, which was cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with a glass of wine. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner spot, a place to catch up with friends, or just a great meal in a welcoming setting, Hen Quarter Prime is a must-visit. We will definitely be coming back.

    Oh my god. I was hesitant to go here at first because of a few negative reviews I read. But, I went and let me tell you, I’ll be going back. From start to finish, everything & everybody was fantastic. The food was delish; came out fast and it was hot; the waitress was attentive and friendly; the ambiance was 100. Can’t say enough good things about YardBird. I’m just glad i didn’t base my experience off of other reviews. Go! You won’t regret it.

Kudos to Trish for take care of us and make our night unforgettable. Until next time! Thank you for the meal.
