   My husband and I had a great meal. This was his first time dining at Tupelo Honey. The noise level was a bit much but I only was bothered because the server’s had trouble hearing the order.

   It was a very busy night for a Tuesday, and we were told the restaurant was short staffed. However, our server John/Jon (sp?) was incredibly accommodating and attentive. He was funny, had a smile on his face, was apologetic, and got all of our orders perfect. We loved the cauliflower bites - incredibly delicious! Kudos to the staff for being overwhelmed, but still offering excellent service and kindness. Can’t wait to go back!

   Love this restaurant! They were out of Fried Green tomatoes which was a bummer. Service was really good despite being super busy. Definitely will go back!

   Food came out one hour later. It would of been nice if we were told food was going to take 45 mins to an hour. That way we can expect that amount of time to wait. My chicken was burnt and meat was hard. I ordered the chicken and waffles.

    We had reservations for 11am and was told that they were out of biscuits and fried green tomatoes. Definitely disappointing. Also, we each had 1 drink, shared an app, and each had a meal. Our bill was over $60 for 2 people. I thought that was pricey. The food was good though and the service was good too. The place is really cute inside but very noisy. I will say the place was full but I suspect it usually is. I would go again for a special occasion but not for a regular night out.

    The food had awesome flavors. The one thing that was disappointing was that it was served cold to the touch. I will definitely go back again though and give it another shot.

    Before the Van Gogh exhibit early dinner. I’m from the south and I appreciate the menu items. They food was good, not great. Would I come back? Probably if I didn’t want to fry green tomatoes at home or have the Bees Knees drink, that was very good. Our server was in training and made several mistakes. Not her fault. No one was shadowing nor supervising her so she had no help. A server came by after we were finished and asked for a review of the new server which was odd. Risk your customers not having a good experience over proper training? Outdoor seating was nice. Fake, faded, artificial greenery in the outdoor planters was a miss. Overall, it was good, not great.

    This was my second time at Tupelo Honey - the first was great. This time, our order (lunch) was "dropped" and we waited almost an hour for our food - which was dried out and not particularly hot (clearly was sitting somewhere for a while). We did get a discount but honestly I would have dug into my pockets a little deeper. I doubt we will go back - but I did have one (of two) good experiences there.

    Maybe not our best choice for a lunch hour meal. Arrived with reservation shortly after a big group so food was a bit slow arriving, but all in all a wonderful place if you have plenty of time!

    Very long wait for our food to arrive. Over an hour. Good food. Very loud. Not relaxing. Could not hear people across the table very well. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing dinner goes elsewhere. Will not return.

    The service and food was great but if you are wanting somewhere to sit and talk with someone, go somewhere else. The noise level was extremely high. Patrons were loud but I think that was because they were trying to drown out the music. Everything else was good.

    Sriracha Chicken and waffles-perfect with a wonderful balance of savory and sweet. Shrimp and grits-my husband deemed it the best he’s had! Pecan pie and banana pudding dessert sampler delicious and perfect for 2.

    Birthday Meal. I had an email from Tupelo Honey for my birthday special. It was clear it was my birthday- family, grandkids, lots of cards and gifts. Server never asked if we wanted to order dessert. I love Tupelo Honeys dark meat fried chicken which is why I picked this restaurant for my birthday. They had no dark meat chicken available and it was only 5:00 pm. I was disappointed. I have the app that allows points to accumulate. Our server was not able to help update my points. Not sure when we will go back.

    Our server was not friendly and it took close to an hour to get our food .. and it was FREEZING in there. We've been here before, the food was good, but we were disappointed with this particular overall experience. The manager did take some money off our bill due to the wait, so that was a nice gesture.

    I heard about this restaurant from a few clients at work. I asked my husband take me out and he did. We really liked the biscuits they were DELICOUS, however the blueberry and butter mix was hard to eat due to the butter being frozen solid but still great! Nice to see some of the money goes to a cause as well. I ordered a dish I have never seen anywhere else which was the biscuit/chicken/ham dish and I would go back for that alone! The vibe was relaxed and beautiful day outside. Liked the outdoor seating option. Would go back and recommend to a friend or family!

    Food was bland and service was not great. We even ordered the spicy chicken and did not find it very flavorful. Certainly did not meet out expectations. Atmosphere was really good though.

    The restaurant is very loud, and the music playlist is not for me. You cannot converse with your dining partners without yelling. In fact our server informed us that management's directive is that if they can hear customers talking, that the music isn't loud enough. If it was a nice Southern rock vibe played at moderate volume, I'd enjoy it. The 80's type of pounding disco beat is not a vibe I want to dine to. I will not be returning other than to eat outdoors.

    When placing the reservation we specifically asked for a booth or a table on the perimeter. We asked specifically not to be placed at a table in the center of the room. And yet, that's exactly what we got despite numerous empty tables on the perimeter and at least one empty booth. The food here is always tastes amazing. However, I ordered the cast iron pork and the portion size was laughably small. I would say 4oz of meat at most. I left hungry and disappointed. I understand restaurants are struggling in the wake of the pandemic paired with ballooning food costs... and yet I can't justify spending $100 dollars on a dinner for two and leaving hungry.

    Went to Tupelo Honey on a recommendation from a family member and I was highly impressed! The fried green tomatoes and biscuits were excellent appetizers. We had the fried chicken and shrimp po boy as entrees and both were delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I can’t wait to return to try more things.

    Didn't live up to the hype. Loved the atmosphere and great options if you're looking for Southern style food. The crispy brussel sprouts & fresh biscuits were our favorites. However we went there for a birthday brunch for two people and service was not great & server was not very friendly. It was a fun place for a special occasion but it didn't live up to the hype and I feel as if its a little overrated.

    Our waitress was kind and nice. My food was cold after waiting 45 minutes. The fried chicken taste as if it was fried or stored near seafood. The waffles were okay but cold. I liked the decor but the cold air made the long wait unbearable and uncomfortable. The prices do not reflect the quality and taste of the food. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

    Our server was so wonderful, and I do not recall her name! She had this wonderful pink hair & made our experience amazing. She was personable, energetic, and easy to speak with! The food was ok, but the spicy cauliflower was the absolute best. The drinks were ok but…peach don’t kill my vibe was phenomenal. Incredibly smooth and sweet.
