Mimosa...perfection. Potato smash...11/10. If I could come back I'd just order 3 of those. Mimi was the best despite it being super busy.

Mockingbird Kitchen provides a cozy atmosphere for a quality breakfast. I had the biscuits and gravy, and it was good. We really enjoyed the loaded Yukon gold potatoes as well. It was perfect for sharing. read more

First time in for a really long time was for a birthday dinner and the food was really fantastic. At the table we had the fish & grits, smoked duck breast, and meatloaf and 2 of us had some nice wine by the glass. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, and the meatloaf plate was devoured without me getting a bite so I know it was really good. Service was on point. I think price wise, they are what you anticipate for from scratch, locally sourced food thoughtfully prepared. I've decided the reason I don't think of them more often for a nice dinner is the ambience, or I should say, the lack thereof. The place is not cozy or comfortable - bright lights, hard seating, and little decor makes me feel like it's a super casual dining restaurant. I don't "feel treated" like I do sitting at some of the other local places with food on par with Mockingbird. I maybe don't mind it as much for brunch, but if you drop $50 for a special Benedict & cocktail - I still want to "feel" it was a more special meal than a local hash spot. Maybe I'm fussy. But I think the only reason I don't put Mockingbird on par with Vetro 1925 or Isabella's for a nice dinner is that it doesn't feel special. read more

Not sure how Mockingbird Kitchen manages to be both creative and comforting but they do! In addition to excellent service, they offer a thoughtful approach to local and seasonal food with an emphasis on from scratch meals. As much as possible is made in-house and you can taste that effort in every bite. While this is the perfect spot for a special occasion, it can't be missed for a regular lunch, brunch, or dinner. Highly recommend the meatloaf and the Mockingbird Pie but make sure you ask about the Chef Special - you might just find a new favorite. read more

Meatloaf and burger were pretty good. However the $8 tomato soup tasted like a can of Campbell's with no seasoning whatsoever. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. Looks and feels like what it is, a small local diner. read more

So this is a decent small restaurant in a mini mall that you wouldn't expect to have good food. The place was packed for a weekday lunch. The service was quick, friendly, but they left you alone if you wanted to be left alone. The meatloaf fell apart and had an unexpected spice in the sauce. This isn't grandma's standard brown sauce. And the chips on top were a bit of an overkill, and some vegetable would have helped round out this dish. I appreciate they didn't go crazy on the serving size, however it was pricey. read more

My daughters and I were in the area for a volleyball event and searched for somewhere to go eat afterwards. We were not disappointed! One of my daughters and myself eat a plant based lifestyle and the chef here has so many options! Food was delicious! Highly recommend the Farro Stir Fry and the vegan bread. My 17 year old meat eating daughter had the duck tacos and devoured them! The service was excellent as well. We were treated so nice and everything was better than expected. I will be recommending the Mockingbird Kitchen to others visiting the Fayetteville area. read more

Service was good but the food was lack luster. It was hot and fresh don't get me wrong. But the shrimp cakes were literally all bread crumbs so dense it may as well have been a shrimp flavored biscuit. I should have sent it back but I wasn't in the mood for that conversation lol The fried chicken was decent. Smashed potatoes flavorless and chunky. The indoor atmosphere was dull. It just felt like eating in a county library. I went because of the 4.5 stars on yelp and I'm shocked it wasn't more like 3.5. read more

Totally one of the most delicious meals I've eaten in a long time! I had AR quail, asparagus slaw and jambalaya and cornbread honey icecream for desert! The staff was awesome too-- it was really, really delicious! read more

Best lunch spot in NWA! If you haven't seen their new lunch combo menu and daily features - worth it! They have homemade focaccia sandwiches that are outstanding. I had Veggie burger, and I'm not a vegetarian but it was excellent. Try for lunch. read more

WOW! In town and got Shrimp Cakes, Loaded Yukon Potatoes, and Ropa Vieja to go. My husband and I shared it all with a little left over. SO GOOD! Next time I'm in town, I want to dine in! YUMMY! read more

Mockingbird Kitchen has a simple atmosphere and a warm staff. I dined with a friend at 5 when they first opened but soon the room filled up with regular customers and family gatherings. There was a cocktail and wine menu but that wasn't what I was looking for that night. There was also a daily specials menu. I ultimately ordered some shrimp tacos and a cup of tomato soup. The soup was delicious and a bit sweet. I think it may have had some red bell pepper in it. The shrimp tacos were good and came with a spicy sauce I used sparingly. My friend ordered the veggie burger which included quinoa, pecans and more. It was a wonderful texture and an excellent veggie burger. She asked for a side of aioli that really made it sing. And it was served on focaccia bread. My friend wanted more of it and could have almost ordered a second one. If it had been 50% bigger it would have been perfect. Tempted by dessert, I ordered the mockingbird pie to go. It was sweet and creamy with cream cheese and chocolate on I think a pecan crust. Delightful and not too sweet or heavy. A wonderful finish to a great meal. read more

food not plentiful, inventive and menu was minuscule. Server rarely checked on us and gave me a sweet tea refill when she did come by and I ordered unsweet-gag. We ordered a Cobb salad and it came with no dressing and we couldn't get her attention to stop and the table so we had to track down a manager. lousy lunch won't return. Oh btw the hamburger was dense and perfectly round. They got it from Sam's obviously. I realize the price of beef is very hi but don't charge out the yingyang for a crappy substitute. read more

My boyfriend and I went after a workout and really enjoyed it!! Notes on the experience based on what we ordered: Irish Coffee was fire - 9/10 Benedict was solid and great for biscuit lovers, a little thickkk for this girl but fire - might be better to get the sauce on the side to keep it crispier - 7/10 The sweet potato fires were very crisp and flavorful 8.5/10 Chicken and waffles was crispy with a nice balance of sweet and savory Chris notes - gravy made the waffles soggy a little too quickly, maybe better to get on the side next time - 8/10 Home potatoes - like the chip shape and very flavorful but a little hard - 7.5/10 Staff - extremely friendly and welcoming - 9.5/10 Vibe - casual and rustic, felt very much like a country kitchen which was nice for a chill Saturday. More outdoor seating on such a nice day would have been great for the experience - 7/10 Overall 8/10, was a great place with awesome food and very nice post workout BRONCH date!! read more

I love Mockingbird, great ambience, great food, solid service. One of my favorite spots in Fayetteville.

Great food nice atmosphere. The service was quick and the waiter was quick and proficient.

Good food. Liked the atmosphere and food. The rest of these 85 characters are so yelp will stop giving me notifications to review

They have excellent Benedict , great club sandwich and I love their creamy grits. Meegan is a great waitress, we have always had great service. If something has been removed from the menu the chef will still make it for you I love that. read more

Food is amazing. People are friendly. We are vegans and waitress help us find delicious food from the menu.

I've been here several times & I do love this place! However, last night while there I ordered the duck breast and it was so salty I could barely eat it. The service & ambiance were great as usual. Just felt like they should know that most of the food was overly salty. read more

At a "Sip and Snack" fundraiser party out at Cane Hill on Saturday evening - the snacks - cheese and savory meat entrees as well as some of the best, freshest fruit complimented the "sipping" offerings of wine an some adult punch combinations. As a very special bonus to the catered menu were two types of fried pies - both featuring antique recipes of apples - one combining goat cheese and apples - the other with apples and a sweet maple flavor. The presentation - complete with picnic fare - was simply outstanding and delicious. The crowd of 50 so enjoyed the Mockingbird Kitchen's offerings. read more

Review is just for food. We got the Ropa Vieja, the Chorizo Meatloaf, and a Chicken Sandwich. All three were underwhelmig, to say the least. The Ropa Vieja was a greasy soup with a few chunks of cheap meat, $20. The Chorizo meatloaf was under seasoned, mushy, and tasted of nothing with an oddly sweet cinnamon taste. The mushroom gravy bland and raw floury. The chicken sandwich was dry and meh. Won't be back. read more

Great foccacia sandwiches for lunch. The veggie burger is excellent. First time came for lunch and will be back!

The service was quick and friendly. The macaroni and cheese was some of the best I've ever had. It's a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. If you have a choice between grilled or fried chicken, get the fried. You won't regret it. read more

Finally got a chance to try this place out and sit on their newly expanded outdoor patio for brunch. It was graduation weekend and they already had a ton of reservations, but we got their at opening and were able to get a table quick. If you're sitting outside and order an alcoholic drink, you'll have to walk inside to get it, as the law doesn't allow the servers to carry it out of the door. I ordered eggs benedict for $18. I'm still shocked by how expensive it was, until I realized this is the new norm everywhere. It came with one side and I ordered veggies with housemade ranch, which was tasty. The eggs were pretty typical. Service was great. Hosts and servers were very attentive and friendly. read more

Brought my wife and kids for Sunday lunch. They have a yummy kids brunch menu - fries and waffles were happily consumed.

The food and service are always fantastic. It has a small town feel while serving some unique twist on traditional dishes.

I was in town for a conference at the University and this was one of the few restaurants that could accommodate walk in diners at 6pm on a Saturday. The food was really great - flavors really well balanced and great options for vegetarian as well as meat eaters. The duck was cooked to perfection, and my only complaint was that the portion of sweet potatoes was huge while the kale was tiny. They were happy to bring me another small portion of the kale. My friend got the farro and greens dish and said it was healthy, hearty, and satisfying. read more

The food is creative and delicious. The service is excellent. Love the salads, the meatloaf, and the fish and grits.

The food is bland. Specifically the sweet potato smash, crab cakes and vinaigrette. When asked how the food was, I said " ok" with so-so body language and the host didn't seem to care. The wait staff is kind. The service is slow. We will not return. read more
