"With in-your-face floral wallpaper, an oversized bird head mirror sculpture, and a collection of vintage plates used for all your dishes, The Mockingbird isn’t short on personality. That same energy spills over onto the menu, where you can get a cocktail in a plastic pouch, a pork ginger bratwurst corndog, tater tot nachos, and bulgogi steak with latke waffles. It’s all good though, and brunch is definitely where the place shines with bowls of pork belly fried rice and bagel balls stuffed with gooey scallion cream cheese." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak

That same energy spills over onto the brunch menu, where you can get bubbly in a plastic pouch, a pork belly fried rice bowl topped with a fried egg and sambal, and bagel balls stuffed with gooey scallion cream cheese. It’s a brunch that doesn’t take itself too seriously—it’s the kind of place where you can let loose without worrying if you’re pronouncing “asafoetida” correctly." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak

"Brian Riggenbach and partner Mikey Corona moved to Nashville in 2016 to open the Mockingbird with long-time friend Maneet Chauhan — and the Gulch restaurant has been a brunch staple ever since. The whimsical decor matches the fun energy from the menu — exhibit a: plastic bags filled with sparkling wine and a straw; exhibit b: cream cheese-stuffed bagel balls coated in everything spice. (Honorable mention goes to the vanilla brioche French toast.) If the donuts are on the menu, be sure to place an order." - Kellie Walton
"I understand that Corona and Riggenbach established Nashville’s Mockingbird restaurant after their secret supper-club beginnings, and the restaurant is poised to celebrate its seventh anniversary." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
