Tupelo Honey is a revival of Southern food and traditions rooted in the Carolina Mountains we call home. Steps from historic Denver Union Station, we craft brunches, lunches and suppers that bring family and friends around the table and allow for conversations and cocktails to linger longer than usual. Always scratch-made, always responsibly-soured, and always Southern.

Reservations are strongly recommended, and we will accommodate walk-ins where possible. All guests with pets must be sat outside. Our Patio is north-facing and weather dependent, please call the restaurant ahead of time to inquire whether the patio is open or not.

Very engaging servers. Pumpkin bisque is fantastic Other food was good. Basic chicken needs more flavor and crispiness (but, I'm a Kentucky Fried extra crispy fan, so, there's the comparison). Food took a little long, but, i really like that it's casual but has a really good vibe. Warmth and friendliness.

Hi Shari, Thank you for the great feedback. We are happy to hear you have enjoyed our seasonal soup. I am sorry to hear about the chicken. As a token of our gratitude for your feedback, I have added an offer for a free entree on us, that my staff can view and apply on your next visit! To redeem, simply book anytime with your same OpenTable profile and we will do the rest! Thank you again Shari, we look forward to serving you again soon! Anna GM

We had the pepper crusted meatloaf with bourbon barbecue sauce that was amazing. Tuesday night dinner with a visiting friend and the restaurant was a great experience. Second time we’ve come and it was wonderful. Thanks MJ & team

Thank you for taking the time to show us some love! I am pleased to hear that MJ made your visit even better. I saw I still owe you a couple of entrees from some time ago, we're still good for it! If you can, ask for Anna I would love to meet you. Thank you for your loyalty over the years. We hope to see you back for some southern fare again soon. Biscuits & Bloodys, Team Tupelo Denver

I had higher hopes for this place. The service and ambiance were fine. The drinks were nicely crafted. Unfortunately, the food was not good. The fish dishes were overcooked and inedible. Sides were either over salted or bland. Grain bowl also inedible. The surf and turf, and chicken were ok. Maybe it was an off night for the kitchen.
Tupelo Honey - DenverResponded on November 23, 2024
Hi Emily, I am sorry to hear about your recent visit. We pride ourselves on great food and service. I apologize about our error. If willing, and as a token of our gratitude for your feedback, we would love to have you back in. If you are willing to return someday, there will be an offer for two entrees on us waiting under your same OpenTable profile, for our staff to view. Simply return, and book a reservation with your same profile, and our staff will see the notes to redeem. You may also contact us here directly, if we can be of further assistance I thank you again, and hope to host you soon. Best, Anna Olivas General Manager
