   Great meal with a big thank you to Tupelo Honey for the great birthday gift with dollars off. We were able to order more items and stay within our celebration budget. Love those brussel sprouts.

   Went for brunch on a Sunday. Not super busy. Food was fast and delicious. Waitress was excellent, making sure we had everything. Place was certainly no $$$. Ate for less that 90 for 4 people, with drinks and an appetizer.

   Food and drinks are ALWAYS great! I enjoy their non alcoholic craft cocktails too! Service was rushed, entrees came out maybe five min after we got our appetizer, there were two of us and the waitstaff didn’t ask if we wanted it separate or not so we just split it down the middle which was fine but overall not as good of service as what we usually have. Still a great restaurant and will definitely be back soon!

   Tupelo Honey has a great ambiance and the service was exceptional, unfortunately I can’t say the same about their food. The cauliflower was rather dry and flavorless all around. My husband got the honey chicken and waffles and it was about the same. The dessert was honestly icky and unappetizing. I hope this was just a one off because it really has so much potential.

    Always really good food and service . Only complaint is the noise level is very high . So, if you’re seeking quiet ambience to have a personal conversation, this would not be my first choice . If noise doesn’t bother you, it’s a great place to eat with excellent service .

    My wife and I met my sister and brother-in-law for Sunday brunch; they were in town for the Drake Relays. We had a great experience. Our server made useful recommendations and kept our coffee cups full. Would like to have had a bit bigger portions, but everything was delicious and service was excellent!

    Food was fine, but even with a reservation we had to wait. Not sure what’s going on - staffing issue, no shows - but that was a little annoying. Once seated, service was great.

    Fried pickles - good Chorizo nachos - very little meat and salsa. Not layered. All good piled into a single mound on top. Salsa was very food. Sweet & Spicy Chicken Sandwich - way too tall and couldn’t fit into mouth without removing parts and cutting. Smothered chicken - gravy very good, portion pretty small. Side fries - good Side Tortilla soup - good Side Green beans - mushy and cold

    This was our first time and we were satisfied but probably won’t be back. The service was great. We enjoyed a drink at the bar before sitting down at our table. The bartender was attentive but we both found our cocktails overly sweet. Our dinner server was sweet and helpful but our meals were just okay. We shared the pimento cheese app which was okay. The chips were highly seasoned ( imagine powdery seasonings on top) and the dip it self was tasty but could have been warmer. I had the fried cauliflower entree and it was not very crispy as you’d expect by something marketed as country fried and my soup was only warm but it was tasty. My husband had the shrimp and grits and he enjoyed it. The restaurant is homey and open like someone’s back screened in porch and the decor is sweet and fun. Glad we tried it but probably won’t be back with all of the other options nearby.

    The food was terrific after waiting for it for over an hour and a half. We arrived early for our reservation but were not seated and were not allowed to sit at the bar. When finally seated and ordered it took an hour and and 30 minutes for our food to arrive. The food tasted great but I probably will not visit this locaiton again.

    First time dining here and we ordered For the Love of Cobb salad with fried chicken and the Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffles with Mac & Cheese and shared. The salad was one of the best I've had in a long time. Layers of flavor in every bite. Would definitely order that again! My spouse is more of a chicken & waffles fan, but I had half of one of them and he had some of my salad. We ordered the dressing on the side, which I would recommend for both dishes. I didn't use it at all on the chicken & waffles--not needed--it was so flavorful without it. The waffles were delicious on their own. It was layered with a little mac & cheese, which helped to bind it together. It was magical! There was only a very little bit of mac & cheese, so would have loved a bit more of that on the side, but the overall dish was flavorful and exceeded our expectations. The chicken was delicious.

    This was my and my wife’s first time at Tupelo. We had a reservation and were seated right away. It took 10 minutes before we were acknowledged at our table. After ordering our appetizers and drinks, we ordered dinner. Dinner was excessively salty. I couldn’t finish my dinner. I ordered the cast iron pork roast and my wife ordered the famous fried chicken. After dinner, we had to wait a long time to ask for our check. We felt like we were not appreciated or wanted as a guest. My wife and I both agreed after our dining experience, we do not need to dine at Tupelo again.

    It was a busy Tuesday night because of Valentine's Day. We enjoyed our time there. The cauliflower appetizer was fantastic. Service was a little slow and it was louder than we prefer, but all in all it was good experience.
