   We came for Restaurant Week. We had the pumpkin soup (which was good, but came out barely luke warm), Caesar salad, biscuits with blueberry jam (but no butter??), blackened mahi mahi with macaroni & cheese, Brussels, and rosemary potatoes. For dessert we had the mud pie and banana pudding. Overall, the food was pretty good, and we would consider going back. The service was a bit of a disappointment, especially considering how there were only 5 other tables in the entire restaurant the time we were there. It took several minutes for us to be acknowledged when we first walked in and stood at the hostess desk, and then nearly 10 minutes after sitting down for our waitress to acknowledge us. In fact, our waitress casually walked by our table multiple times without saying a word to us as she continued putting silverware on the empty tables around us. Why would you prioritize empty tables over actual customers? To be quite honest, the service did not get much better throughout the entire experience as our waitress failed to anticipate our needs or engage with us.

   Great service and the food was outstanding. A great brunch spot with some really interesting mimosa options. The apple cider mimosa was fabulous. Chicken and waffles were good and the shrimp and grits phenomenal.

   Absolutely love this place! My wife an I have been three times when it was just us and then twice with our two daughters. Service is great every time, and the food...even better! We have tried various items on the menu each time and have not been disappointed. However, someone always manages to get the fried chicken because you just have to...we also ALWAYS get the fried green tomatoes appetizer because it is so very good! We also appreciate how the menu expands with new items very time we have been, but you can still find your fav on there. They have at least four versions of Chicken and waffles and they all are great, but beware of the kick on the spicy siracha C & Ws...it is so delicious, but is not for the faint of heart (or those with delicate tastebuds) very spicy, but still sweet and savory...Going back soon and will also purchase gift cards because my friends need to experience this place!

   Nice brunch spot. I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes with the cheese grits as an appetizer. Friendly staff & good service.

   We love Tupelo Honey every time we go. Last night's service was on point as always. The shrimp and grits is my go-to order.

   Excellent service from the host to server. Food were really large portions but all very good. The brussel sprout appetizer was a table fave for all!

    Tupelo Honey did not disappoint. It was the second time we have been there and both times the food was excellent, and the service was on point. However, a note to OpenTable, this is the second time in the past two weeks where we have made a dinner reservation using the app, only to learn when we arrived at the restaurant that they had not record of our reservation, even though we had a confirmation number. Fortunately, in both situations, they were able to seat us....
