    Blackened Fish & Grits
    Anissa A.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I don't "feel treated" like I do sitting at some of the other local places with food on par with Mockingbird.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Maybe I'm fussy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Excited to enjoy some great food! A local spot here in Fayetteville and super consistent on their fabulous service as well as culinary expertise. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We love to bring out of town family here while visiting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bonus, this shopping center has now grown with some phenomenal local shops! Visit Uncle Sam's outfitters or shops at brick city before or after a wonderful meal!

    So this is a decent small restaurant in a mini mall that you wouldn't expect to have good food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was packed for a weekday lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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.

    Pop into this cute shop if you're a sucker for soft serve! The shop has plenty of space and seating…read morebut dont miss out on the patio either. As a long term lover of soft serve, there aren't a lot of places that will let you pick ANY of their wide variety of flavors and MAKE it soft serve. We stopped by last evening and they were working with a skeleton crew of one young lady, but she kept her cool and kept up the pace even when huge groups came in all at once. If she had a name tag, she would be named in this review because wow. Great service even under stress. And that's the scoop!

    I used to love this place but after my visit the other day which I have to say was the first time…read morein a few years I was so disappointed. While it was always a little expensive and a treat destination. The quality has gone down and shrinkflation has taken over. Referring to the Chocolata For the quality aspect, what used to be a freshly made crispy waffle is now what appears to be a microwave reheated with little to no crispness to it. Then for the shrinkflation side of it you used to get a nice big clear cup filled with ice cream, mini chocolate bars, cookie dough, and it was worth every penny. What I got the other day was a semi warm waffle with a little squirt of chocolate ice cream, one mini Hershey chocolate bar in a small cardboard boat for $9.99.
