   Considering this was their second day of business it was just about perfect. Seated at the time reserved, server was great. Food was wonderful, a couple of managers came by to check on us. We have loved Tupelo Honey for years! Asheville at both locations, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Greenville and Sandy Springs have all been good! May be missing a location that we have visited but we are glad they are in Gainesville now.

   Tupelo Honey felt like an upscale family run restaurant. The service was warm and friendly, the ambiance was cozy, and the food was delicious. I'm excited to try more dishes.

   Great new restaurant for Gainesville. Food was delicious! Chicken Mac and cheese waffles! Shrimp and grits! And banana pudding for dessert. Would highly recommend.

   Fried green tomatoes over grits were a wonderful start to the meal! Honey dusted chicken was a little spicier than we anticipated but still good. Of course the chicken and waffles were delicious! Will be back soon!

   This is going to be a POPULAR restaurant in Gainesville! Everything was delicious. Highlights included the salmon, which was cooked perfectly, and the lemonades. I had the matcha lemonade and we also tried the blueberry lemonade and they were so tasty! This is southern cooking at it's finest and I can't wait to go back and try some more. The decor is chic and trendy and the staff were all so nice and very accommodating. Chicken and waffles *chef's kiss*!!! Honestly, everything was amazing! Welcome to Gainesville, we are so excited you are here Tupelo Honey!!

   Regina, Wow, what an amazing review! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words and for the warm welcome to Gainesville! We're absolutely thrilled you enjoyed everything, especially the matcha lemonade (that's one of my favorites)! Hearing that you think our southern cooking is top-notch and that you're already planning your return to try more means the world to us. We're so excited to be part of the Gainesville community!

    We were invited to the soft opening in Gainesville, GA and it did not disappoint! We were greeted with smiling faces, taken directly to our table, and our server (Julie) was such a sweetheart! We enjoyed brunch foods and overall, we rate our food a solid 9.5 out of 10! We started with the give-back biscuits with whipped butter, blueberry compote, and honey! They were dynamite! For our entrees, I had the Honey Dusted Tenders with a side of Collard Greens and my Husband had the Grilled Chicken BLT with a side of Onion Rings! My chicken tenders came with a trio of their house-made sauces: spicy peppercorn ranch, mesquite bbq, and dijon honey mustard! They were great and played off traditional dipping sauces from other well known chicken restaurants, but each sauce was a bit more elevated in flavor (didn't taste mass-produced). The chicken tenders were perfectly seasoned, a bit peppery, and juicy as all get out! I think the collard greens were good, but a bit salty for my liking. I would have liked a little more vinegar and less salt, but otherwise, the flavor was heavenly! There were real bacon pieces in the greens and it brought a nice buttery, smokey flavor to the greens. My Husband's sandwich was so fresh, the chicken was perfectly cooked, and the flavors combined blended seamlessly together! I would definitely order the Chicken BLT again! A bit messy, but what sandwich isn't, right? The star of the show for his meal, it was those PERFECTLY CRISPY Onion Rings. I mean, they just left us speechless... thin battered sweet onion rings with a generous sprinkle of flaky salt... crispy... crunchy... and light! Golden to perfection!! 10 out of 10 would recommend. To end out meal, we indulged in a creamy-dreamy Southern delicacy... Banana Puddin'! It was definitely sharable and mostly pudding and cream, but super yummy! I would have like more banana slices personally, but I was so happy with the flavors! We accompanied the meal with a matcha lemonade and a peach mimosa! YUM!
