Best WLM Reviews

Hair in my food. Very unhappy. Don’t even have the energy to go back and wait in the long line to complain. Potato salad is gross as well. 10/10 wouldn’t recommend
for one when I ask for extra ranch they didn’t give any. I ordered the wings and they had entirely too much fat. my mom order the shrimp and they gave no sauce .. like come on now y’all.. I wanna support a black business but y’all definitely need to work on a lot of things.
I used to come here every day, and they used to be so good, and they used to give military discounts, I believe, on Monday, but today they upset me. I was in line for about 15 minutes, and two men were working. They were not very kind. They don’t wear hairnets, which does not surprise me, and they don’t wear gloves. I’ve noticed that there’s a lot of food on the floor. This was never the case back in the day, and then when I went to the window, they told me to hold on. They went outside, and some customers wanted to order. They took their order. I had to wait in front of the line for about 10 minutes; I thought that was rude and disrespectful for someone who was waiting for almost 15 to 20 minutes for the food, and they gave them their order and paid cash while I was waiting for my food, and so I left. I think Customer Service has gone downhill for this company. They don’t respect, they don’t care, they don’t wear hairnets, and they definitely don’t wear gloves, and their pants are almost coming off, and they don’t care it used to be good now it’s not where did Customer Service come? And I noticed that when they put their hands in the chicken, they’re not wearing gloves. It’s not very sanitized anymore. You see cockroaches on the floor rat on the floor there’s food everywhere. The place is not sanitize at all. I don’t know what happened, but that’s not how you run business.
To the Owner. my information is not false when you’re ordering stuff from drive-through you had two guys that went to the back open the door and took that customers order while I was in the front waiting to pay for my order that was rude and disrespectful and that’s not how you wanna handle customers he then took that customers order back into the restaurant picked up order was a third car behind me and I was upfront and paid him cash and then took off and I had to wait for my order so again you don’t know the whole story you weren’t there. It was me and my daughter and that was not professional , you were an owner. You should acknowledge the people that wait. 15, 20 minutes for the order that day when I was there there was no hairnet. The guy Did not have a hairnet and he did not wear gloves so next time you need to be more understanding and aware what Customer see this place has completely changed and it’s not the same as 10 years ago
Heard about this place from two different coworkers, one from each of my places of employment. I've been wanting to check it out for a while now. I would say that the food was okay. But with it being a chicken place in direct competition with others in the area, it doesn't stack up. The building looks ghetto and how you get to it is kind of awkward. The lady who took my order was super friendly, but she forgot the large fry I ordered. Thankfully, she didn't charge me for them! She did give me a free lemonade that tasted pretty good. The wings themselves were medium-sized sized. I asked for extra crispy, and I was left slightly disappointed. I prefer my wings to have a crunch, not burnt, but a nice good crisp to them. Their hot wing sauce was actually surprisingly tasty, but it was not hot, I think I would call them mild at best. Their garlic parm wings were a bit crisper, so that was good. They had good flavor, too. All in all, it was just okay.
Man it’s been about ten years since 2014 That I had yard birds —and I heard it fell off . I’m here to tell you that this chicken is still mouth watering smacking ! The second I smelled that chicken in the parking lot I knew the rumors were wrong - these chicken is still … STILL straight up legendary. The food has always took awhile but I would honestly wait a hour to get another plate . GO SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS !
Really polite and friendly service, there was a line and after eating I know why. That was chicken was serious business. Can't wait to come back and get some more.
Went today and got chicken and fish and not only was the food wonderful, so was the service. The lady at the window was very patient and kind, and so was the gentleman. I had never been before but will definitely be back. Whoever worked today deserves a raise 10/10
YardBirdz is what's up!!!
I got the 6 tenders, had em toss dem thangs in Hot Buffalo, got an additional piece of TX Toast, extra side of Cole Slaw, Blue Cheese for the Dippin, & xtra crispy fries!!!
I re-plated with my own plate at home built that sandwich out & out the slaw down direcy on top of the tenders! Also, the Lemonade is Homemade & on point! (I just add a bit of Strawberry Fanta to get that Xtra sugar kick!
Such a good Lunch & only $12.00! M
Other times I get, wings (& they're BIG!)
& if I'm not super hungry I'll grab a Pork Chop sandwich which is on its own level of badassery!
Y'all just need to go here. Just go, for Lunch! GO!
