    We were excited to try this place, but left disappointed. The girls at the front were super nice and seated us quickly. We loved how the booths were nice and big. The esthetic of the restaurant was amazing and so cute! Definitely gives you that southern feel. We ordered the hush puppies and the fried pickles for appetizers, both were delicious! Although we were disappointed in the quantity size of the pickles for the price that they cost. I got the grilled sandwich - green acres family style and was disappointed. I am a big dill lover and didn't really taste any dill. The sandwich was also dry and lacked sauce. I also had to request pickles because the sandwich didn't come with any, which I thought was weird since it was dill style. With it I got the creamed corn for my side and that was amazing! My husband got the brisket and said it was good, but nothing special. My sister got the fish and liked it! My mom got the fried sandwich and also said it lacked sauce and some flavor. Although the staff was nice, the service was super slow and our waiter took forever to come check on us and refill drinks. Made it difficult to eat there with little kids because of the wait.

    I came here with a friend for brunch and it was okay. I felt like our server didn't really want to be there or just didn't like us but otherwise service was fine. I thought the food was good and it came out super fresh and still steaming hot. My friend made her own omelette which including cheese and let me tell you it was super cheesy. The entire omelette was covered in cheese and I could tell she wasn't a big fan of that and hadn't finished her omelette. We also ordered the brown sugar coffee with bourbon and we did not like it. Our expectations were totally off from what we got. It just tasted like watered down bourbon with a slight hint of coffee. It was very strong. Otherwise, the place is cute and includes a cute little shop up front.

    5 piece chicken with fried pickles. The dill ranch dip is so good!

    I stopped by Mama Bird Southern Kitchen for a business lunch yesterday with three colleagues, and we were seated immediately without a reservation. There's plenty of parking, making it an easy spot for a midday meeting. I ordered the 5-piece chicken tenders, and they were absolutely massive--I could only finish two! They were perfectly seasoned, incredibly juicy, and paired perfectly with the dill ranch. The fried pickles were another standout, especially the long, thin pickle slices that delivered a crispy, flavorful bite every time. The building has a very southern vibe. The prices were very reasonable, but unfortunately the service kept this from being a higher-rated visit. Our waiter rarely checked on us, my drink stayed empty most of the meal, and we even had to flag him down just to get the check. The food alone is worth coming back for, but I hope the service improves because it doesn't match the quality coming out of the kitchen.

    Amazing service. The collard greens are probably the best I ever had and I came to Utah from southeastern North Carolina. The cheddar grits are unbelievably fantastic. I will definitely continue to return to this restaurant

    My review for this restaurant is kind of mixed. It seems they are very popular but understaffed. The wait for a table was quite long but when we finally got seated there were a lot of empty tables. The service was also very slow. Our server was nice but every step of service just seemed to take a long time. The food itself was pretty good. The steak was cooked perfectly. Eggs were overdone. The chicken was well seasoned. The mimosa was 90% juice. It hardly even had bubbles from the champagne. Would not order that again. You're better off just ordering the glass of champagne/sparkling wine. Decor is cute and southern. Plenty of parking.

    This place has potential, however the service is slow and inconsistent. Also the kitchen seems to struggle with cooking things to order, such as over easy eggs. Waited almost 30 minutes as they were "making a fresh pot of coffee". Refills and other requests all seemed to take 2-3 times the amount of time to complete after request. This place could be great, if the kitchen got more consistent and the servers were better trained / better equipped to meet service requests.

    Was recommended this new restaurant from a coworker and he was spot on. Im always down for new local restaurants and it hit the mark. Available from breakfast/brunch to dinner, this southern style restaurant really digs into the theme of a country family diner type restaurant. As someone who grew up in the country, the theme really hit at home. As for the food, first, the portions are very generous so be prepared for leftovers. They seem push southern style chicken as their "specialty" and they hit it right. The chicken was thick and crispy but also still juicy. Im not huge on grits but the grits that came with the chicken fried steak were spot on and would for sure get again. The biscuits and gravy they had as a small side option so got that to try. The biscuit seemed homemade just with how fluffy it was and I was big on how not dry it was. The gravy was flavorful with the pepper and sausage within it. I would say my favorite part of the brunch was for sure the crispy hushpuppies. They bring it out with a sauce but i would say it wasnt necessary for how good it was. When looking into this place, it seems to have only been open for a month. You could see that they were still kinda working out some stuff but nothing that affected my experience. The service was attentive and very nice. It is a big building and has a ton of space for diners, however, I would still recommend reservations being made for parties of 4 or more. Im definitely gonna be back to try some other menu items but could be my new go to brunch spot.

    The atmosphere is very cozy, cute, and full of charm. Southern comfort feel. The food is good with a wide variety of options like burgers, sandwiches, grits, po boys, steak, BBQ, chicken wings, salad, etc. Get the coleslaw and collard greens sides to balance things out. Non-Alcoholic--The jalapeño ginger beer was refreshing. They offer original, peach, and strawberry ginger beer flavors too. Alcoholic--the two drinks that stood out were the Banana bread old fashioned and Mama Bloody Mary with a deviled egg. So creative. Beers are available as well. The only thing that could make this place better is speeding up the service. Everyone was incredibly nice, but everything moved very slowly from check-in to getting our food. I know it's a popular place, but it definitely felt like a long wait. Overall, it's a perfect spot for southern food which I don't think there's many options around. What I really love is their creativity in the food and drinks. It elevates it that much more.

    4th time here and still haven't tried 75% of the menu. Food is always an experience. Portions are so big, order a box when you order your food. Service is friendly, fast and welcoming. The place feels like your walking into grandma's, warm and inviting. If you haven't gone, you need to get there. Two different menus, breakfast/brunch and dinner.

    The atmosphere is super cute. I love how they have decorated the inside. There is only room for 6 people to sit and wait don't you go when it's super busy plan on standing. The food was ok. I ordered the brisket grilled cheese and expected more grilled cheese style, it was good but not something I wud order again. The brisket had great taste. Husband ordered a brisket burger, he enjoyed it. Fries were warm but not fresh. I did really enjoy the watermelon lemonade mimosa and the fried pickles. We also tried the Mac and cheese, it tasted like it was made with white cheddar and did not measure up to my southern expectation.

    They are within their soft opening time frame. So hours and service is going to be different compared to when they fully open. With that said. The staff was warm and friendly. We were taken care of by Dave H. Fantastic recommendations. The food was tasty. We ordered Chicken and Waffles, Red Velvet pancakes, and Ribs and Brisket plate. We tried each plate and enjoyed it. The place is well decorated, very open and bright. The kitchen is probably still working out their processes and flow. It was a bit slower than anticipated. We came for lunch and if you have a limited lunchtime (hour lunch to get back to work), you're going to be anxious for your food to come out. Everything came piping hot because our server was fast to table everything. It wasn't packed as there were open tables. From seated to paying our bill, it took about a little over an hour. We had at least two refills of our drinks before the food came out. We will come back for leisurely dinner as there is so much to try on the menu. The portions are generous. We had to go boxes.

    I was excited to see this new sit-down non-chain restaurant open in Jordan Landing. They have a location in Las Vegas and this is their 2nd restaurant. The restaurant got very busy after 5:30 on Friday evening and they accept reservations. All the food and drinks were really good: they make the ginger beer fresh in house and have 4 flavors to try, but the ginger intensity flavor varied between flavors. Servers and staff were friendly and did well even though they're still learning. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are clearly labeled which we really appreciate. The brisket was very tender and the cornmeal fried shrimp was really unique. There's a small store so you can come in and get jar cakes and ginger beer to go. Unfortunately getting a bottle to go took a very long time, it seems it gets put in the same queue as drinks ordered in. I'm excited to come back & try their breakfast!

    This has to be my new favorite brunch spot, next to Hash Kitchen. Our friend group went for a double birthday celebration and it was soooo worth it! The food and coffee drinks were absolutely delicious! All of us loved what we ordered. The dessert was also excellent. Service was great despite how busy it was. I highly recommend a reservation if you're wanting to go on a weekend with more than a group of 3-4. Honestly been counting down the days until we go back.

Our server Marin was awesome. The bartender and owner stopped by our table several times to check on us. They have regular and high tables plus seats at the bar. There were several TVs around the back of the restaurant. The front of the restaurant is open during the day for breakfast. I want to try that out soon!

So I think in talking to most of my friends I got a good view on the food, and presentation. I had a starter of Totchos, and the Beef Dipper for my entrée. Both were excellent, I shared my Totchos. These are tater tot nachos, they were excellent, normally I don't like cheese sauce on Nachos, but given the consistency and flavor of this sauce (house made, I'm guessing. Not canned) They were excellent. The Beef Dipper and Au Jus, also top notch! Generally in a French dip, there is a lot of fatty pieces, this was not that. Also at my table was the Chile Verde bowl, this one has a kick... but my friend having it really enjoyed it. The fish and chips was great, smelled fresh. Lets talk about the sides. Choice of Fries (appeared to be battered fries, always a favorite of mine.) Tots, or house made potato chips. I had the Potato Chips with mine, these were excellent, crisp and tender on the inside. The Athena (Lamb Burger) got rave reviews from one at the table The Service: Because we were in a large group they advised us they were going to be taking our orders as we came in so not to overwhelm the kitchen staff. Excellent communication throughout service given that we were a large group. I talked to one of the Owners, Laurie, I could tell she had a huge sense of pride in the place. Very friendly! The Restaurant: Great atmosphere, Fun artwork, best of all, VERY Clean, nothing sticky or no grease buildup on any surface. The glass ware on the wall behind the bar as all polished. In the bar area they stack their silver, tableware, condiments etc. in a cute little cozy box on the table, with the main dining area setup as a diner with the traditional paper napkin and silverware. For a diner motif to have shined silver and glassware is a nice touch! Summary: Eat here! The prices are reasonable, the food is excellent, when I looked at the menu online I was a little put off by no actual entrée's on the dinner menu, however the in house experience made up for that, it's a pub food vibe and they are doing it well!
