Equally adept at fueling Lido Village-bound shoppers is Tupelo Junction Cafe...the restaurant is true to the funky, Cannery Village side of the town's personality: Cocktails come in mason jars, the coffee mugs are country-style crockery, and the walls display fruit-crate labels as artwork. Everything is made from scratch daily serving Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner."The menu is packed with southern-influenced dishes like apple cinnamon beignets; a pulled-pork sloppy joe; or Amy's own favorite, a sprightly salad of lettuce, fried chicken, corn-bread croutons, and buttermilk dressing."

    As usual, our dining experience was superb. We sat on the patio and were extraordinarily warm. Heaters worked very well and we were very comfortable. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. Everyone smiling and greeting us making us feel right at home. Our meal was incredible as usual. The chicken schnitzel is my favorite item on the menu. We had the apple cobbler for dessert and shared brussels sprouts and a wedge. Every bite was amazing. Can’t wait to come back.

    We went to the Tavern House for my son’s Birthday. The food was amazing, we had several different things. The beef dip sandwich was delicious the meat was piled high and the bread was crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. The chicken and mashed potatoes were spot on, the fillet with French onion soup was also so good. I can’t say enough about the food, ambience, the view and service. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this place.

    Had an early 5:30pm Birthday dinner for my husband with another couple. He wanted his favorite off menu veal chop!! . Sat on patio near fireplace and under nice and warm heaters. Love their linguine and clams and he had his favorite: veal chop!! I brought a little birthday cake and the waiter was so nice to bring it out with candles and then take it back and slice it and add ice cream and cool whip!! We always enjoy the ambience on the patio with tree growing through the roof, and fun, upscale, local crowd… a lot of people sat inside too. Nice take out bar and pizza side too. Always wonderful. Thank you for everything.
