Tupelo Honey is a revival of Southern food and traditions rooted in the Carolina Mountains we call home. We craft brunches, lunches and suppers that bring family and friends around the table and allow for conversations and cocktails to linger longer than usual. Always scratch-made, always responsibly-soured, and always Southern.

A Journey Through Appalachia
Aug 15, 2024 - Nov 30, 2024
Experience the magic of Appalachia through our Sorghum Pork Bowl and Apple-achian Shine-tini! With the help of culinary experts in the region, our executive chef has created the quintessential Appalachian dinner. The Sorghum Pork Bowl features pork confit wrapped in Benton’s Country Ham prosciutto, served over a bed of stone-ground goat cheese grits and a bean medley with spinach and bacon. Over top is a sweet-but-savory sorghum black pepper glaze, popped sorghum, and a sprinkle of chives. This dish will fill your belly and warm your spirit! Don't forget to wet your whistle with our Apple-achian Shine-tini, featuring Ole Smoky Apple Pie Moonshine. These Appalachian-inspired dishes are available for a limited time only.

Everything was great except it is very loud for just people talking. Needs baffles or sound boards.

Traveled to GRap for a girls weekend! My girlfriend and I ordered chicken & waffles. Although the taste was wonderful, the waffles arrived cold. The kitchen took care of the issue in a timely manner. Our waiter seemed overwhelmed as the restaurant was packed. I ordered tea, had to ask for the cup upon delivery. Ordered water, had to ask for another glass as he only returned with one. Simple oversights. He was very kind and didn’t get upset. Overall a good experience.

We commonly frequent Tupelo Honey, it is one of our go to restaurants since they opened years ago. This was our first experience that was not up to their typical standards. We got there and sat outside and noticed they were quite busy due to homecoming. We ordered some biscuits and chicken and waffles and the food came out so incredibly quick we were a little concerned, as we should have been. The chicken was lukewarm, the waffle was warm at best, and the chicken didn't even taste normal/right. I brought this up to our server and she grabbed a manager. The manager came out and spoke with us and offered to remake it for us, though, at that point we were getting short on time and honestly the thought of more chicken at that point did not sound great at all. The manager gave us their card and said next time we plan on coming to let them know and they will make sure our next visit goes well. More just bummed and disappointed, this has always been a reliable place to go and probably won't be going back for a bit.

The service was outstanding and the food was full of flavor. We had the the Sriracha Honey Waffles, Avocado Toast, and smothered chicken and biscuits. The biscuits could have used more gravy as they were not smoothered.
