Something has changed here. I'm a frequent patron to the bar and it's been very enjoyable, I looked forward to coming. Everyone was super friendly and said hi, how are you doing... how's it going. That's what I remember always being the vibe. Now, barely a word and it's forced. Nothing like what I had come accustomed to at all. Please don't lose this vibe with your staff it's what makes your place a go to for so many. This is second week in a row that the vibe is different. I hope this comes back to what it used to be.

The pricing is okay. The restaurant had good atmosphere. But the menu is just not my style. It is a cross of very healthy and western. The menu right now is pretty limited too. Worth trying. But it is not an IHOP or wafflehouse. It is much more upscale, closer to an original pancake house. It even had tiny as hell water glasses and the bottle of cold water on the table.

Food and drinks are always good. Always busy so make time for the wait. Mimosas and bloodys were enjoyed. Eggs Benedict excellent. Pancakes fluffy. Always good.

Mediocre food, boring menu, and slow service but good atmosphere at Mockingbird location. The blueberry muffin is super boring and loaded with sugar. Yuck. And the toast tasted like cheap, store-bought breadnot to mention they served it so burnt it was black. They really need to step up their game here because I want to like this place but theyre not giving a reason

Great place for breakfast or brunch. I had their take on shrimp and grits. It was served over polenta cakes instead of traditional grits. Beignets were different really were croissants with powdered sugar . Others had Austin tacos and Elvis all got great reviews.

Bummed because I love this place and one day - when I recover - I'll give it another chance. I'm pretty sure I got food poisoning here and it's been a beast. Please don't order the tuna melt!
