Tupelo Honey is a revival of Southern food and traditions rooted in the Carolina Mountains we call home. 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.

    Our service was terrible… our server didn’t refill our water, she didn’t clear our empty glasses and we had to ask her for boxes.

    Food was great but server was slow and made several mistakes including a large error with the bill. Server charged us $21 for $130 check. Took 5 minutes to flag him down to get him to correct it and then took another 10 to get it changed.

    Extremely loud even on a Tuesday night. Chicken tenders were ok for being a fried chicken restaurant. Never had grits but they were incredible with fried green tomatoes!

    As always, our meal was fantastic! The service was wonderful and the atmosphere was loud and energetic. If you are looking for a quiet meal you won’t find that here. But the friendly service and delicious food are the draw.

    Delicious meal. Service was so quick. I enjoyed the special cocktail a lot. Lee, my server, was busy but did a great job of making sure I was taken care of. Tupelo will become a standard for me.

    Food was decent. Service was slow and server either needs more training on the menu of just doesn’t care as he couldn’t tell us about anything in the menu or the wasn’t certain about the bar selections either.
