I remember my first visit to Yabbies Coastal Kitchen, roughly 4 years ago, when I was new to the city and discovering the pleasures of trendy Polk Street. A friend and I stumbled upon Yabbies, and decided to pop in for some oysters and beer. What was supposed to be a snack turned into a three-course meal, as neither of us could resist the allure of the charming and varied menu (and we managed to squeeze in our oysters and beer as well). A lot has changed since then along Polk Street, particularly on the restaurant front, yet not much has changed at Yabbies.

Yabbies is one of those neighborhood favorites that everyone in the area knows about and encourages the new arrivals to the area to visit. -- Heather Thompson
