The Yardbird At 1896 - McAlester

Finally tried this place out after a couple of friends recommended it. I had the monte cristo and my friend had the wings absolutely delicious. Owners were very nice and the beer was good could have a better selection but was ice cold. Fries were crispy and delicious and the owner said the secret was the use real potatoes lol very friendly and nice people.

I ended up at Joe’s by accident. I had the Cobb Salad and Irish Nachos. (I’m not a salad person) the salad was good. It had halved tomatoes, avocado’s, chicken and more. Easy to eat and easier to take home. Forgot to take a picture. The Irish Nachos were amazing!! WOW. Not what I expected but surely my new favorite.

Groovy food. great atmosphere. Terrific customer service. We were looking for a delicious lunch place and this is it!

A little nostalgic paired with a lot of deliciousness. Today our table started with a seasonal special of fried squash paired with fried okra. So fresh and definitely hand battered for a perfect crisp. This place is well known for its limited offerings of tasty specials so of course I ordered the special, called The Wilbur. Its a sandwich served on toast and stacked high with hot links, pulled pork, fried bologna, and drizzled with a tangy bbq sauce. I paired the sandwich with the creamy yet slightly spicy skillet Mac for a home run combination. The meal was huge so plenty of leftovers to savor the tastiness again and enjoy more bang for my buck. As always the service was amazing, quick, and courteous. I frequent this place often for lunch and have always enjoyed the vintage feel complete with the record player spinning vinyls and filling the air with good music. My all time menu favorites at this local hot spot are the biscuit sliders and the skillet mac. The dirty bird is the best, but get the trio of biscuits and try one of each to find your own favorite flavor.

I always enjoy coming here. You can't go wrong order the sliders. The daily specials have been a welcome change!
