Mockingbird Kitchen

An absolute gem. The food is excellent. In one weekend we showed up without any reservation, and the waiting line was huge. We could not get a table that day. The front desk lady told that they take reservations, except on the Sunday. Next time we made a reservation and hit the place for our Friday night date dinner. The place was fairly packed. They have an outdoor patio seating option too. We chose to sit inside. The indoor environment was cozy and cool. The server lady was very nice. She gave us suggestion on what to eat. The house lemonade was great to start with, on a sunny hot long day. We skipped the appetiser and jumped into main course. I took the fried chicken which was supposedly the most famous dish from their kitchen. It was terrific. Usually chicken fry means greasy big chucks of ‘southern’ delicacy that comes into our mind. This was so different. This was not greasy. It was lightly battered, absolutely crunchy outside and juicy inside. It came with some cheesy mashed potato and green leaves. Greens were essential to balance the taste with so much fried and cheesy stuff. My husband ordered the meatloaf. That was too good. The portion size of both the dishes were right. It’s neither tiny nor humongous that you have to carry the left over. We ordered a slice of mockingbird pie to finish the meal. The dessert was excellent. It was a layered pie with perfect amount of sweetness. Overall the entire experience was awesome. I highly recommend the place.

Tried Mockingbird Kitchen for the first time. We will go back!! The food was beautiful AND delicious! We enjoyed the bean soup, apple beet salad (with a side of chicken), stuffed mushrooms and Mockingbird Pie for dessert. They also have many vegan and vegetarian options. Everything on the menu sounded great. The staff was very accommodating. We are anxious to take friends and family there.

Food so good it made me want to cry tears of joy. 🥲 Everything we tasted was absolutely divine. We went for Sunday brunch so it was unsurprisingly packed inside, but neither the food nor service reflected that and they were both perfect. We opted for the patio that was empty and it was relatively well shaded and comfortable despite afternoon summer sun. Would highly recommend and will absolutely be back.

We decided to take a drive to Fayetteville and ended up at mockingbird kitchen. At first the service was a little slow (wasn’t very busy) service improved after we got our drinks at least! We had the soup of the day it was okay kind of plain tasting. The small salad was delicious with the dressing (vinaigrette). Margarita was good both the regular and the apple butter margarita (extra shot of tequila not included with the apple butter) the food! Boy was is amazing! The chicken and mashed potatoes was awesome! The turkey melt sandwich was so tasty! I loved it. The fries that came with it ❤️ perfect crisp to them with their homemade ketchup was delicious. And both were good portion sizes! Can’t wait to go back and try some more items!
