Great service. I ordered shrimp and grits and returned it because it wasn’t hot. They apologized and made me a new one. It was very good.
Southern biscuits are one of a kind and blueberry sauce is delightful. Service is prefect, martini for lunch is a wonderful idea, friend chicken with grits were very nicely done. I always enjoy going there its a warm place with great food and service. Highly recommend. I plan to be back yet again and soon.
Tried the catfish this time and it was fresh and delicious.
Waitress was not the nicest - however, the food was awesome!
The ambiance and music was excellent, the food was bomb EXCEPT for the mac and cheese. I gave it another go but it was not hot and cheesy/melty but firm and a bit dry. All the other sides I've tried have been excellent. There's great people watching if you sit by a window and if not, it is always a very diverse crowd that comes in so you can people watch if your window view is none. The staff is pretty friendly with the attentiveness ranging from fair to great. We keep this restaurant in heavy rotation and recommend it to anyone we know or who plans to be in the area. This is a MUST try--everything is good! (The mac and cheese comment is just my personal opinion as all palates are not created equal :)
The staff was as slow as Tupelo honey and the host staff were the rudest hostesses I’ve ever interacted with. Horrible service.
I've been wanting to check this place out and it was worth the wait. A delicious brunch to check out with friends. Yes to the biscuits to start and ughh definitely get the fried chicken to try. The potato cracklin is a must too! I'm amazed how crispy they were. Also a good cocktail list too. Our server, Shineeta was absolutely phenomenal! She went above and beyond and if we return I hope we'll be able to be seated with her again. Pro tip-download their app! You can get 5 dollars off or get a free cute pint glass but they also have other awesome benefits!
We were looking for something a little different in the Arlington area and I am so happy that we found this. They have a great spin on southern comfort food. We will be back very soon!
The server was excellent. The atmosphere was also great...the food was exceptional.
Our server was excellent, COVID protocol was followed, and the food was great!

Thank You for your review!! We appreciate your kind words. We take pride in our southern roots and traditions!
The food was lukewarm and average in taste. The service was good, but I was really looking forward to delicious southern comfort food. Unfortunately the food was average and not worth recommending.
Great food. Friendly staff. Comfortable atmosphere.
Thank You Crystal for your review! We take pride in our southern roots and traditions
The food is deee-licious, and the service was great. I can’t wait to go back.
Thank You for your review! Look forward to hosting you again soon!!
This restaurant is amazing. The service was great, we were seated with no problem and our food came out quick and was awesome!
Thank You for your 5 star review!! Southern Comfort is the only way we know!
Phenomenal flavors in the food! So good. Service was good. Table next to us had a loud talker but all was peaceful besides him.
Thank You Trish for your review. People get excited when we are talking BRUNCH!! Glad you had a great time and can't wait until our next go round
Valentine’s Day breakfast was perfect! Appropriate COVID-19 precautions were being followed. Staff was friendly and attentive. Service was quick and food was delicious. I also really appreciate the addition of mobile payment. We definitely enjoyed this experience.
Thank You for your feedback and review!! Look forward to hosting you all again soon!
Placed at a high top table in the bar area for Valentine's Day dinner reservations. Not really what I was expecting. Menu isn't anything special. This is really more of a breakfast / brunch spot.
Excellent meal - will be back soon!
Thank You for your review!!
What a great atmosphere and awesome food for brunch!
Thank You Madison for your review. Look forward to hosting you again soon!! CHEERS!
I can’t believe I drove by this place for years without going in. I finally decided to stop and I’m happy I did. I had the meatloaf which was really good. They have great customer service and great beer too. Counting down the days to when I can go back!
I thought I was the only one counting down the days until you returned!! Thank Yall for the review!! Can't wait to host again soon!
Overpriced fried 🐔 BLT which had little flavor. The mashed potatoes were terrific. No ambiance set in a bleak modern office building. Save your money and go to Chick filA.
Once again the service, food, and value was excellent. And once again I enjoyed my time at the restaurant.
Food and service were first rate!
This restaurant has great food and drinks. Went for brunch and they accommodated a table for 8, which was surprising. I will definitely be going back to try other menu items. Love this place!
The veg burger was terrible and super greasy.. the last time I tried it was good.. this time it was very very greasy .. had a tough time at home later ...
The appetizers was good but again greasy.. I had digestion issues after having brunch here
The best thing about COVID is dining outside in nice weather and inside in inclement weather with no need for reservations, no lines and no service delays! These are bonuses for those of us who want to support the service industry.
The food was great and our server Sharon was incredible.
Decided to get a Saturday evening bite to eat with a friend and I stumbled upon Tupelo Honey.
The staff was friendly but, following COVID protocols, attentive and made the dining experience a very nice one.
I tried the biscuits as an appetizer and those were delicious. Quite large so, my friend and I probably could have shared but, tasty nonetheless. The honey fried chicken was *chef's kiss* really good.
I would definitely dine here again and recommend it to others!
Thank You so much for your review. We take pride in our Southern roots and traditions. We look forward to hosting you again soon. Cheers!
Shineeta was amazing. Went above and beyond to make me and my guest feel safe. No waiting time. Food was delish!
It is amazing to hear that Shineeta made you alls experience that much better. We look forward to hosting you all again and ask for Shineeta on your next visit! Cheers!!
I love this place for brunch and the options. The food is always really good. It took a little bit for our server to come over and take our order but other than that, it was good! The prices have gone up, but that expected due to the current environment.
We take pride in our scratch made dishes. It is the SOUTHERN WAY!! We appreciate your support and look forward to our next brunch!!
Biscuits were amazing, same with the Brussels sprouts as appetizers.
Thank You Julie!! Im getting ready to put a order in for those brussels now!! Have you checked out our Happy Hour menu!! Look forward to hosting you again soon. Cheers
Had a good social distant table. Chicken was delicious. Mountain salad had all the variety we wanted!
Thank you Matthew. Always a pleasure hosting and congrats on your engagement again!! Let us know where we can help with your dinner in March
The food is fantastic and hostesses very friendly. The service however was an unmitigated train wreck (second time this has happened). My friend and I waited 22 minutes before we received coffee or our orders were taken; we never received refills; and nothing was offered as an adjustment. This is the second time this has happened, and will think twice before going again.
Awesome food and friendly staff - overall great experience. I will definitely go back!
Thank you for your review. We appreciate the continued support and look forward to hosting you again soon.
Good food and great drinks. Flexible for a nice date but moreso geared towards a daytime brunch atmosphere
Tupelo Honey is a super cute spot for anytime of the day. The food is really good and filling. I must say the Mac and Cheese is a must have. The only reason I give them 4 instead of 5 is because the need buffalo wings, there is no tv's, the server didn't clean the table throughout the time we were there. We ordered multiple things and they all remained on the table till we left. Other than that the place is a hit.
Great food, but the service was subpar.
