Mama Bird Southern Kitchen shines with its "outstanding" food, particularly the chicken tenders, and a cozy farmhouse ambiance. Diners rave about the "amazing" watermelon lemonade and blackened catfish. While service can be slow, especially during busy times, the "delicious" menu and inviting atmosphere make it a must-try destination.

Made a Brunch "reservation" & upon arrival was told "that system wasn't working". Hostess seemed absolutely lost. After a little over a half hour eventually got sat at a table, waited a little over another 1/2 hour before being seeing a waitress, A customer actually brought us their picture of water after watching us sit there for so long !! Our waitress was just overall really poor at her job. Seemed like she couldn't have cared less to help us or do anything to make brunch a nice experience.Finally ordered food, mimosa's & hot chocolate. Another 1/2 hour before food arrived. Food was actually pretty good. Hot chocolate was water with a packet of hot chocolate mix. Tried to order a second round of mimosa's and was told that they were "out of wine" and couldn't make anymore!! She had to have meant champagne but jeez, c'mon. All in all, awful experience. To be fair I have not had a chance to call & relay our experience to anyone at the restaurant yet but that's next.

This is our 3rd visit and it did not disappoint. Food was amazing; order the chicken tenders! Service was a bit slower than normal but they were a bit busier than the other visits. Overall, loved it! Will come back soon.

The brunch menu looked amazing! We ordered several different options to try and everything was meh. Nothing gave us the wow factor. The service was super slow, when the restaurant was maybe halfway full. Took over 45 mins to get our food. Disappointed for sure.

The service was very slow. We waited about an hour for our food and had to request a status on our food, drinks, syrup, and the bill in multiple occasions. It was Fathers Day, yet the restaurant was not busy. The food was great, unfortunately the service made it an overall bad experience.

The food is great but service is slow. It was Father’s Day and it was busy so that may have been a factor. Will try again.
Mama Bird Southern KitchenResponded on 23 June 2026
Katie, thank you for giving us a try and for your honest feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the food. You're absolutely right - Father's Day was exceptionally busy, and we apologize that the service didn't meet our usual standards.

We truly appreciate your willingness to give us another chance and look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Loved our visit to Mama Birds tonight. The blackened catfish was amazing, as was the brisket. Salads with the hot honey Dijon vinaigrette was so delicious we wanted more. We will definitely be back!!

While the entrees are pricier than other casual dining options, the food is EXPONENTIALLY better. Yummiest pancakes, juicy fried chicken, great burgers/brisket. You truly can’t go wrong.
