- SStaceyColumbus •9 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 4, 2025A very cute place with super service. We sat at the bar (requested) and ordered traditional southern fare - fried green tomatoes over grits (excellent), hot pimento cheese dip (very good - hubby likes it better than i did, but I’m used to it cold on a sandwich). For dinner we had the fried chicken (dark meat) and collards - both excellent, though next time I’ll request to leave off the honey dust, I would have preferred it without the hint of sweetness. Hubby ordered the pulled pork in confit - excellent on all fronts but be ready as it’s not “rich” but it’s a lot! And I had to try the biscuits with butter and blueberry j as a dessert (it’s a starter). The biscuits were as good as my momma makes and the butter was nice and whipped. Next time I’ll just order the biscuits with butter and honey - not that the blueberry was anything but lovely - just that’s they way I grew up ;) All in all - if you’ve got southern roots or want authentic southern cookin’ this will remind you of home!More infoTupelo Honey - Downtown AshevillePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Southern• Asheville•4.6

Some of the area chefs in Asheville have nicknamed their town "Foodtopia" because of the area's well-known creative passion for great cuisine. Culinary experts throughout the entire western portion of North Carolina appear to have adopted this sentiment. Elegant fine dining establishments can be found alongside mid-priced luncheonettes. You can find a creative local deli for sandwiches, soups, and salads. Your hotel's dining area may turn out to be a five-star restaurant. Whether you're in Asheville or another Western North Carolina hub, there is no shortage of high-quality food choices. European flavors are popular; German schnitzel with spaetzle shows up on menus around town. Mexican fare is another plentiful option, and Caribbean spices have found a place in the Asheville area too. Many local menus provide vegetarian and vegan choices as well as gluten-free options.
