We’ve eaten many times at Tupelo Honey, Asheville and Raleigh. We were in Asheville on Wednesday and had made our reservation the previous day. The waitress was attentive and came by often to check on us. The food was delicious! We all appreciated having the calories listed for each item.

We love brunch here. Everytime we visit town we get our brunch on the way out. They have redone the menu since we were here last summer but as always the food is great!! Want to try lunch or dinner!

The food and drinks were wonderful. Our server was very good, and the other staff was helpful when we needed them as well. Although it was July 4th, we made a reservation but others did not seem to wait long.
