We attended Tupelo Honey for a birthday with a party of 6. The staff were super sweet and the food was the best meal we’ve all ever had (seriously.), granted it wasn’t too busy given it was a Wednesday night. Regardless, I’d recommend this spot to anyone looking for really nice food at a relatively low price given the quality
