I ordered ribs, wings, candied yams, Mac & cheese, greens, potato salad, and cornbread stuffing. Most were , my only complaint is the ribs were fall off the bone! but really stringy once you get away from the tips. I bet their rib tips plate go crazy! And they cornbread stuffing was super mushy, good flavor but mushy. Edit thank you for being open on thanksgiving!

The food is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend Yardbbq! Best macaroni and cheese we have ever tasted. We had a houseful of teenagers and they dug into that pan like it was the best thing they had ever tasted! There was not a single bite of leftovers left! The chicken and barbecue is also so tasty, juicy, and flavorful. Even the white meat is juicy! The spinach dip with the homemade pita chips are incredible, also! It’s hard to narrow down what is the tastiest. It’s all SOOO good. Highly, highly recommend the food. Very tasty, home-cooked, food. Even my 80 year old Dad liked it, and he is very picky about his southern food. He gave it a five star!

Chef Josh is a Mastermind in the kitchen. He won my family over with his delicious Mac and cheese and sweet potato pies lol. But we love all of his cooking and signature sauces are amazing. I promise you won't be disappointed. Especially being very picky and know quality food when you eat it. Flavorful and the food will have you coming back for more.

I got stuck in Atlanta for a night and ordered Yardbbq through DoorDash. I was worried about how fresh the food would be because it was almost midnight when I ordered. I was very impressed with the order. I got the chicken wings, with sides of Mac & cheese and collard greens. Everything was incredible!
