About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
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**

    This was our second time here and it didn’t disappoint! The vibe is super cool and unique—definitely one of our favorite spots. The chicken fried chicken and the salmon was delicious! Great service too.

    The food was only average at best. Had the short ribs. They were very fatty and the rice was undercooked. We had concert tickets so didn’t have time for a remake or to choose something else. Cocktails were great. Service was timely but not over the top. There were 5 of us at the table, only one of us was excited with their dish. With all of the restaurants to choose from we probably wouldn’t recommend this one.
