    Faith is beyond the sweetest server we could ever ask for. We were celebrating my grandma’s successful breast cancer surgery. Faith surprised her with a card signed by the entire staff. It was beyond great. We traveled from Maryland and she embodied the soul of the south. Amazing food. Wonderful ambiance. Will return next time we are in town.

    We have been here several times since they opened and are really glad to have them in Cola! However, our experiences have been hit or miss. Tonight was more miss than hit. The brussel sprouts had really hard pieces in them that I could not eat. My chicken tenders were a little tough and didn’t have much flavor. The tomato soup was excellent. Biscuits were ok. Banana pudding was awesome and service was great. Hoping next time will be better!

    I reserved a table for Mother’s Day 2 months in advance. When I was seated, it was a 2 person table against the wall in middle of server walk way. I asked the hostess if this is the table I get when I make a reservation. She said yes and walked away. I placed an order with an appetizer. Both were delivered at same time and my entree was cold. No-one stopped by to ask me if everything was OK. This is my fourth time eating at Tupelo Honey, and the eggs looked dirty like they were cooked in bacon grease. My wife had ordered the crispy potatoes and she got 2 potato pieces on Mother’s Day! We had two breakfast plates, an okra appetizer, and two teas. The bill was $58. I will be spending my money at places that value my business instead of treating like a number and rushing me out. Oh by the way, they had at least 12 empty tables that were not cleaned so no one could sit there.

    I went here with my mother in law for Mother’s Day breakfast. I’ve been to other locations before and have always loved it. This time was no different. I had the shrimp and grits for the first time which were delicious. The dish is not too heavy and the grilled lemon adds a nice little citrus to it. The breakfast bowl was also ordered and it was good as well. The potatoes in it were crispy which was nice. Our server, Olivia, was great and very attentive. Highly recommend.

    We had a great Mother’s Day brunch the Saturday before Mother’s Day. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of space here compared to Greenville and Asheville’s not overly crowded. Food and service were great!

    The only complaint we have is that the outside dining area should have some sort of cover on the one side the sun hits during sunset to block out the direct sunlight from blinding the guests at least a little bit. It would’ve made the experience much more enjoyable. Besides that, the food and server were more than great and we had a good time!! Definitely will come back.
