About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • 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**

    Do not sleep on the jerk wings—— literally the best thing I’ve eaten in 2025. The jerk flavor, the crispiness, the sauce 100/10, so good. Avocado toast was meh— not much flavor and the fried egg had super underdone white which gave me the ick. Generally fine just meh. Husband had the Cuban sandwich which was also awesome, and the fries had great seasoning.

    We went to brunch to celebrate our anniversary. We had excellent service and very good food! They surprised us with a champagne toast which was very special. Only downside was lots of bachelorette parties and semi-broken AC.

    The A/C wasn’t working, so it was not the most comfortable setting.

    Brunch was amazing! So glad we made a reservation as every table was busy. Definitely order the cinnamon roll and bagel bombs. Loved the food and the people!

    Food was ok, I think more of a bar scene than for the food.
