About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Modern Diner. Global Fare. Delicious Fun. This is The Mockingbird. Led by talented culinary duo executive chef / partner Brian Riggenbach and front-of-house extraordinaire / partner Mikey Corona, The Mockingbird offers a menu of comfort classics with a global twist and an ambiance of art deco diner whimsy. Walls are covered in beautiful custom-made wallpaper, painted tin tiles on the ceiling, windows open to two patios as weather allows and a larger-than-life mirrored bird sculpture overlooking the dining room. And then there’s the food and drink! Munch on a Mockingburger or Mac N Cheese (aka Feeling Grate!) while sipping an Old-Fashioned-ish or a Punchin’ Bag (ask about it – they are famous!). We also love hosting group events! We have a private dining room, an upstairs dining room and an enclosed patio, all perfect for bridal showers and bachelorette parties plus business lunches and corporate dinners. Y’all come see us! **Reservation cancelation policy is strictly enforced**

    Food was okay. They couldn’t make a latter and the eggs had so much butter with them it made our stomachs very uneasy. Breakfast sausage was also dry and overcooked

    Our waiter was extremely helpful with making suggestions for our food choices, as we were in a bit of a hurry. And the grilled cheese bites were to die for!

    The staff at Mockingbird welcomed us for an amazing 60th birthday celebration with family and friends. The venue is exceptional, mid-century, warm, inviting; welcoming you to sit back, relax, and be at home. The service was efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly. Our wait staff had a great sense of humor and engaged our party while taking care of our every need. The food is creative, beautifully plated - yet casual- and invites the table to share. Flavors are elevated. Delicious.

    We had brunch here on a Saturday. There were many tables that had more than 6 people at them, which made the noise levels very loud. We sat at a table for 2 that was near the kitchen and bathrooms, which was not ideal, but it was fine. The server was very friendly and checked on us often. We had the avocado toast and egg taco dish. The avocado toast was good, but I would have rather the bread be toasted. The best part of the meal was the zucchini bread, which was fantastic. The portions were large, which made the value good. We didn't have any alcohol drinks, but they looked good from other tables. Overall, the brunch was very good, and we would come back to try their dinner.
