Serving stale buns. Buns don't crumble like this unless they are stale. As soon as you touch it, it's in bits. And it tastes dry. Chicken is too big for the crumbling bun or to get in your mouth. If you make food, make it edible and not just for insta pictures please. The slaw was generic and nice but defo not wow or even standout. Sweet and sticky chicken wings weren't either. They were lovely and crispy but squeezing some honey on hot wings it'll fall off. This dish is crispy wings with honey at the bottom of the plate Chips. Nice. Didn't seem to be seasoned other than lots of salt which was fine. We'd come off a freezing long walk so we're soooo hungry we ate everything and couldn't be bothered to get replacements (if you're serving stale buns then you don't have fresh; I'm not here to tell you what happens when honey hits hot wings) Made for Instagram not eating.

The food at mockingbird is very good, we’ve probably used it about 20-30 times since it opened. However the service is very poor. They have sent us away with missing items 3 times now. Very frustrating. Also there has been occasions where we have ordered food for a specific time, it’s been accepted, we’ve arrived at that time and it hasn’t been ready. One time it was a further 25 minutes wait. Usually order online but regularly have to ring them as their website hasn’t been updated (no Sunday wraps on Sundays and no collection option) .

Visited friends with my partner last weekend and ordered Mockingbird at 6:40 last Saturday on JustEat, the app said food between 7:35-7:55 - an hour wait on a Saturday night is understandable. At 7:35 JustEat told me the food had been delivered (it hadn’t) so at 7:55 I tried calling Mockingbird. The number on JustEat was an invalid number. Got the number off Google. It called a bar instead. I informed the person on the phone of the situation, he just said “yeah we’re really busy” and it wasn’t until I said JustEat said we had our food that they were willing to check the order. He said our order would be next out of the door. Food arrived at 8:30. 2 hours after submitting the order. Mockbird is an 8 minute drive from the destination. A portion of poutine was missing, tots were cold and when I’ve tried to contact on the website, Mockingbird have failed to reply. Not sure when companies began to think they deserve a pat on the back and all problems forgiven because of the flavour of the food. The lateness of the food meant we were an hour late setting off, meaning we hit m180 road closure, forcing a 45 minute detour. As I’ve said in my JustEat review, I expect a full refund for my £61 order. I’d be embarrassed if I was the owner.

Tasty food but you need to source a better bun. It completely falls apart as soon as you pick it up. We ate in, but loaded fries were cold as soon as they were ready. Got them replaced right away but I wouldn't say the new batch were hot enough either

Very nice milkshakes!! It's our first time checking in, bought tickets for Jesus Jones performing in July so had a quick look at the venue whereabout, where to park etc. For sure we will be back many times before the gig.

Easily the best vegan street food I've ever had. Ready on time, freshly cooked and absolutely packed with flavour!

March 3, 2024

Ordered through Deliveroo. We ordered the Mac & cheese, poutine and a loaded fries. First of all it was an hour late, secondly, the food was cold when it arrived, and the mac and cheese was missing the cheese. It was just pasta. If you read the description on the website, it states a rich and creamy vegan cheese sauce. Disappointed is an understatement. Never again. Absolutely disgusting.

We came from Belgium to taste this beer/food. It's almost 900km. We were not disappointed. Only one regret: not to be staying longer. We took a good resolution: we will come to Grimsby once a year!! It's a deal! Thank you mates ❤️

Next door to Docks Beers. Excellent for a nice pint, catching the last rays of sunshine. Great street food. Always good atmosphere.

Very expensive for what it is. The thing that really did it for me was when we asked for some more salt on the chips we paid 4.75 for and they said no, they come pre-salted.

Food is nice enough, but the prices are insanely high. Youre based in Grimsby. Not Covent Garden.

I cant fault the burgers their delicious but the service is slow and to be fair the price is ridiculous I made my own today which tasted pretty much the same for a £5er tops for 2 people (and I only buy organic chicken breast) , whereas the chips are £4.95 for a portion thats the same size as a portion in a childs happy meal. The price of the chips really are whats brought me here, we went the other night and I really fancied chips, passing several chip shops on route and said to my partner na theyll B cold by the time weve got the burger. Big regret I wish Id have just picked a portion up and popped them in my oven prior to going to mocking. I actually could not believe how little amount of chips there were like a 1/4 what youd get from a normal take out for more than double the price. What on earth theres note special about them no fancy coating just average skin on fries... This is Grimsby ffs I could have got spam chips and mushy peas for half the price of them fries and to top it off I asked for cajun seasoning for a extra 35p which I had to put the fries in a collinder and shake the garbage off as its simply pure salt with a bit of curry powder... Your fries are utter nonsense. Get a grip

#C564 6.20pm 29th March Tried to email instead of post bad review but cant. Food ordered to collect so expect to be fresh. Lukewarm Parked 2mins up rd to eat No seasoning only taste was red onion Chicken burger borderline burnt crunchy but when opened bread it stuck to it.I didnt eat much. Husbands special burger said was no flavour and left quite puddle of grease on paper. Kids meal grandson didnt like chicken tenders greasy but with hardly any coating which was strange. Been looking forward to trying for a long time and 28 quid is expensive for 2 burgers and kids meal it would be justified if great tasting and quality. Disappointed

WOW the koop vegan wrap was delicious, so many flavours and such a change from the usual tasteless vegan food. Added to that I also had seasoned fries and it was a very generous plateful. Food is a little pricey but definitely worth it for a tasty treat :)

I love the food from here ! I can honestly say that the seasoned fries with jerk seasoning are the BEST fries Ive ever had. Most takeaway fries arent very pleasant when you have them delivered but these remain delicious. Crispy on the outside , fluffy on the inside and perfectly seasoned with the jerk having just the right amount of kick to it. The chicken tenders are exactly that - juicy and tender. Im in love with the Reaper sauce. And that coleslaw is so, so good - so creamy and tasty. The delivery staff are always really friendly and upbeat too. Im not vegan and havent tried the mock chicken tenders or vegan options, but the sauces , sides and coleslaw are all vegan and are delicious. I want to know the secret to the beautiful creamy coleslaw!

I am going to be very biased here but Id say this has got to be one of the best streetfood places Ive been too in the 28 Years Ive been alive. I travelled 327 miles to come try here again and I must say it didnt disappoint. The food is amazing, great flavour and so fresh!! Ive been to many wing festivals and Id say the wings from here are definitely in my top 3 Ive ever had. Its such a shame I love so far away as Id be here every night If you around the Grimsby area definitely worth a visit you will not be disappointed

After a slight error with our first order, we had the whole order replaced for free the following week as an apology. The food turned out to be the best takeaway we had ever had. The chicken was tender and juicy. The Yorkshire pud wrap was brimmed with chicken and veg. The gravy was thick and bursting with rich meaty flavour. The potato bites were crispy & seasoned well. Everything was cooked to perfection. Definitely be ordering from here again.

Ordered food at 8.04pm. Just Eat delivery time of 9pm-9.20. Got an update off just eat at 9.10pm saying it had been delivered - it hadn t. Rang the mobile number at 9.25pm, only for them to cancel the call and then switch the mobile off. I contacted Just eat to ask where the order was. They said it was now estimated for 9.40pm. The food arrived at 9.45pm, it was cold and the sauces were missing. The chicken was hard and rubbery like it s been reheated. The potato tots were both cold and mushy. Would not recommend! Poor service!

Tonight the order took 90 mins to arrive and was completely cold. The chips were soggy and didn t taste cooked (like freezer chips) the burger was dismantled when it came with the slaw leaking all over the place in the box that made it impossible to pick up. And the wings tasted alcohol the taste wasn t nice at all! We left near enough all of it and have had to now cook something! And for £41 we were so excited to try for the first time and to be so let down was disappointing:(

Today, I enjoyed my very first taste of Mockingbird Street Food, it was, fabulous! I chose the Big Bird Wrap, with a blue cheese sauce. It was nice and hot, and incredibly tasty. So from this old bird, to Mockingbird, I shall return and try another fine dish on the Mockingbird menu, dentures permitting of course!

IVE MADE MULTIPLE ORDERS OVER TIME TO THE RESTAURANT AND ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE FOOD HAS BEEN EXTREMELY LATE AND ITEMS HAVE BEEN MISSING. IVE FOUND THIS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AS MY PARTNER AND I LOVE THE FOOD WHEN IT IS CORRECT & ON TIME BUT THAT SEEMS FAR AND FEW BETWEEN. I MADE AN PRE-ORDER TONIGHT FOR ROAST DINNER WRAPS AND NOT ONLY DID THE ORDER ARRIVE LATE BUT THE GRAVY WAS MISSING AND THERE WAS NO WAY OF GETTING IN TOUCH TO RECTIFY AS THE PHONE NUMBER WAS NOT GOING THROUGH. MORE OFTEN THAT NOT WE ARE LEFT DISSATISFIED BY THE BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.

This is possibly the worst food establishment in Grimsby the food was half an hour longer than what they said and they forgot half my order so I had to wait for that too. We ordered the mock topped tots and their so called mock chicken just tastes like bread clumps. HIGHLY disappointing

Unbelievable food. Left the review until Id had it a few times to test the consistency and each meal has been absolutely amazing. Loads of flavour, the chicken has always been cooked beautifully, its too difficult to pick a favourite but the last one I tried was the sunday wrap and Ill definitely be ordering that again. Great to wash it down with a beer as well!

Food was only a few minutes late but lukewarm and considering the chicken burger was supposed to be Buffalo Blu, there was not a single hint of blue cheese at all, just an overwhelming chilli sauce. Wed left ordering from here for a few months but theres been no improvement. And please dont say its Saturday, its busy... thats no surprise, is it? Hoping for quality food given the price but again disappointed.
