    This used to be a good restaurant but it has gone way down hill. Essentially it has become Applebees with some Southern decor. The food ranges from awful to unremarkable and is just a string of disappointment’s.

    We were about 7 minutes late to our reservation but they didn’t seem put out at all. The restaurant is beautiful and the lighting is good. Our waitress was excellent. I’d recommend this place. The food was delicious! We found the biscuits stodgy but the rest was great.

    Been a fan and loyal patron for a long time. Good food - always fresh and well prepared and presented. Team appears new and was running the struggle bus a bit last evening - couldn’t quite connect on accuracy, start to nearly finished. Patio is a favorite, but the “live music” over at Little Hats was competing with and drowning out Tupelo’s piped music. It wouldn’t have been so bad, except Little Hats appeared to have found the one bad singer in Nashville and hired them for the night. We will go back, but may stick to Sunday brunch.

    Hi Tedrick, Thank you so much for your continued support and kind words about our food; it truly means a lot to us! We're sorry to hear that your recent visit didn’t quite meet the standard you’ve come to expect. You’re right, the team is still finding its rhythm, and we appreciate your patience as we get everyone up to speed. We also hear you about the live music from next door. While we can’t control the volume or quality of the performances at neighboring venues, we completely understand how it affected your experience on the patio. We’re grateful you’ll be back and hope your next visit feels much more in tune with what you’ve always enjoyed about Tupelo. Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback! FOH Management

    This was our second visit to Tupelo Honey. The bone-in chicken is delicious. However, I do not recommend the desert as the portions are small for the cost. We had the brown butter pecan pie and the banana pudding. The service was extremely slow, perhaps due to shortage of staff.
    Tupelo Honey - FranklinResponded on June 7, 2025
    Hi Donna, Thank you for coming back to Tupelo Honey. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the bone-in chicken! That’s one of our favorites, too. We’re sorry to hear the desserts didn’t quite meet your expectations and that service was slower than it should have been. We’re always working to provide great value and timely service, and your feedback helps us know where we can improve. It’s possible the pace was impacted by staffing that evening, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. We hope to welcome you back soon for an experience that hits the mark from start to finish. Thank you, FOH Management

    The restaurant was not busy, but was still severely understaffed. Every table on the patio waited for 20+ minutes to get initial orders (drinks) taken and delivered. Then the food came out and was underwhelming, and cool temperature. Unlikely to return because the service has only gotten worse over the last 2 years.
    Tupelo Honey - FranklinResponded on June 13, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sincerely sorry for the frustration you encountered. We constantly aim for excellence, and we clearly missed the mark. We truly appreciate your patience and your thoughtful feedback; it helps us improve. We hope you’ll consider visiting again so we can provide a much smoother and more welcoming experience. Should you be able, we'd love to discuss the details with you on how we can improve. Please let us know at your earliest convenience. Thank you, FOH Management

    We were treated very well. Our waiter, Brody, was attentive and accommodating. Our group of 12 was most grateful for the quality food, good drinks and thoughtful service. Thank you Tupelo!
