Tupelo Honey - Arlington

Grabbed brunch with my fiancee and we both enjoyed our experience. I got the Shoo Shrimp and Grits which was very good and my fiancée got the fried chicken club, which she really liked. Our favorite part of the meal was the fried green tomatoes appetizer. The place was busy but we had a reservation, which I recommend making if you want to be seated and not wait awhile on a Saturday morning with the brunch crowd.

The food was pretty good. The waitstaff were very slow to get to us. They got one of our orders wrong, and another order seemed like it had been under the heatlamps for a while and was only luke warm. We have been there before and been very pleased with the food and service, but this time it was not great.

This restuarant was quite enjoyable for me and my family. The hospitality of the staff was amazing and we all had a great time. The food was well priced and delicious.

Great brunch! Good menu options and always delicious good. Drinks were also good, recommend the sangria and the margaritas.

It was My first time there, my friend recommend and food is really good. However, your waiter was really out of place, was slow, food was late. I'll come back just for my friend recommendation, and hopefully next time the waiter will be better

Food was divine! It was a first time for our double date and the food, ambiance and service was great. Parking was super easy. So glad this is in Arlington. Shrimp and grits, and YES the fried chicken is banging!

Good was not great and service was pretty terrible. We ended up having to get up and get drinks at the bar, honey and other condiments from other tables and ask several people where our waitress was. That’s how little we saw her. Food was ok but not great. They forgot to bring dressing and the pecans for a salad; brought the wrong omelet and the list goes on. Only redeeming quality is their beer list.

Very good southern comfort food

Great spot for breakfast, good food and great value!

Absolutely wonderful! Delicious food, good service, new favorite brunch in DC

Not as good as I remembered. Service very slow. Menu looks great but then food is not as good as your excitement.

First of the customer service was absolutely amazing from all the employees! We were kindly greeted at the door, our server took great care of us, and the manager went above and beyond by giving my boyfriend a card and dessert for his birthday! The food was absolutely AMAZING! 11/10 stars, definitely coming back and recommending to everyone I know!

Food was just ok and service was awful. Our server messed up one of the entrees and rang up 2 items wrong. The manger was weirdly aggressive and tried to blame us for their mistakes. Will not be back.

The food at Tupelo was delicious but the service was absolutely awful. The staff gave off a "do not bother me" vibe across the board. We had to ask multiple times if our drinks were coming and then 1 would come but not the other 3. When the drinks did come, we had to ask if they would remove the empty glasses and appetizer dishes so we would have room for our dinner plates. The server was visibly irritated by the request. The kicker was at the end, when the manager came over to ask if we had complained to our waiter about the service. We said yes, and why, and she proceeded to go into a rant on why we were out of line because her staff was swamped. It was a Tuesday night, and they were anything but swamped. As good as the food was, I will never return to this place and advise anyone considering it to think again. I told the story to a few people at my office and every one of them said they had a similar, poor service experience.

The appetizers (macaroni and cheese balls and roasted veggies with harissa) were tasty, and the Tupelo specialty, chicken (in particular the roasted version) was a delicious surprise—they only had white meat the night were there, and it was extremely moist and tender. The fried Brussels sprouts were among the best I’ve ever tasted, and the portion was very generous. One person in our party ordered the fried chicken and reported that it was equally delicious, and another person chose the meatloaf. Everyone was very pleased. We were replete but not stuffed, so a dessert of various mousses presented in mason jars was happily shared. The peanut butter mousse and the chocolate budino were incredibly flavorful and light. All in all, a lovely experience.

None of my food was hot when it arrived at the table and my friend’s dish, the salted caramel and chocolate pancakes wasn’t very good. I heard really good things about the restaurant and was disappointed by the food and the cocktails. Our waiter was pleasant and the music was great. I think with a few variables, this could have been a solid meal. But alas, the lukewarm food (even the appetizer), slippery floor and tasteless cocktails left me wishing founding farmers had an open table today.

Nothing short of outstanding! From the food to the ambiance, Tupelo Honey offered everything you could want in a ding location...

Had been looking forward to a visit, but found the experience mediocre. Food was pretty good...not spectacular. Service was mediocre. Sound level wasn't bad, which was a big PLUS on my end. And then the restrooms---don't go there. Not good.

Little bit too loud - large groups celebrating means lots of noise. Otherwise great.

Food was cold, and very salty. Very different southern style restaurant.

This is our favorite restaurant. We did not have a good experience. I’ve given this place multiple five star reviews on Yelp and Google. We go here about once a month.

With this particular visit our service was below standard. Our glasses were always empty. Multiple times I got up to try and find our server for refills. There were people sitting next to us that arrived several minutes after us. They received their food/orders before our server returned to take our orders. We had to ask twice for our first order of delicious rolls.

When our food did arrive our server did follow up and asked how everything was I did let him know the Shoo Mercy grits was on point and I was extremely satisfied, but I informed him the children’s burgers and fries were soggy and cold, my wife’s dish was also cold and the gravy was hardened. . After informing him of the dissatisfaction he said “oh okay” and the next time we saw him was when I had to track him down again and ask him for our bill.

We will he returning because we love this place, but we will just ask for a different server if placed in his section.

Dinner w out of town guests before the fireworks! Great sampling of Southern favs... craft beer, nice wine. A very relaxed, delicious meal! Hostess, servers all happy and helpful- def will return!

Food was just OK. Overpriced.

Everything was great! Four stars instead of five because the friend chicken in my meal was dry and not very flavorful, certainly didn’t seem like freshly fried chicken.

Food was superb service was slow. Great location and easy to find.

The food here wasn't bad, but it also wasn't very good. Everything was really salty. Our waiter was also a little slow. They got 2 of the dishes mixed up, 2 people ordered different grits and when they brought it out they said it was tupelo shrimp and grits when it was actually shoo mercy shrimp and grits. They didn't realize it was mixed up until they started eating.

Great food and specialty drinks. Friendly service!

Service was excellent, but food not amazing....

Always feel like we are home. Staff and Management are all so Friendly and very attentive to all tables... LOVE TUPELO HONEY!!

Our waitress was amazing and so helpful! Will definitely return.

Eggs in my Bennie was overdone. Biscuits were on the dry side. Great blueberry jam tho! Was disappointed this time. Rosemary peach lemonade was also delicious

It was very loud but everything else was great!

Great service and food!

Great selection of both Southern and American cooking, wide variety of items including vegetarian options.
Fried chicken is awesome. Also maple roasted vegetables, mac & cheese, rosemary potatoes, tacos, and a good happy hour.

Read some positive reviews that convinced me to give this place a try. I was completely disappointed. While our waiter provided decent service, the food was not up to par for the overall rating this restaurant received. We had the roasted chicken which was one of their popular items and it was dry. The dinner portion was small for the price paid, so IMO it wasn’t worth it. Will not be returning nor will I be recommending this place.

Attentive staff. Consistently great food! Celebrated my daughters 15th with a brunch and were treated like!family. I love this place.

Service was outstanding! Food was about average. Chicken was dry but tasted good. Reminded me of a grocery store rotisserie chicken. Salad was very good. I was expecting the food to be better. Disappointing.

Great experience. Food was high quality. Service and manager interaction was great!

6 family members had a delicious lunch at Tupelo Honey. We live in Greenville, SC & dine at the TH in our hometown fairly often.

The food was great but service a little slow. We had to ask twice for our biscuits. Restaurant is a little noisy.

We love this place! However, this time the overall experience was bland. From the reception, service, food, however the manager did come and ask how our meal was. So I applaud his efforts. Maybe next time will be better.
