    Asheville fried chicken with Mac and cheese waffles were delicious. The sauce was great. Fried green tomatoes also great. Service was spotty but our server acknowledged that she had a huge bridal party so I appreciated the heads up

    We went for brunch on Mother’s Day and I was impressed. We were seated immediately at a table that could accommodate my mom’s mobility issues. The service was prompt without feeling rushed and the food was excellent. Portion sizes were appropriate. We split the fried green tomatoes and each had the breakfast bowl. I finished my meal and my mom only had a little left - not enough to take home.

    This is my third trip to Tupelo and my most disappointing! We had reservations at 6:00, arrived a little early and were seated immediately. Our waitress was warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, we waited over 35 minutes to get our food. Tables around us, who arrived after we did, got their food before us. I finally waved over our server and asked how much longer as we had tickets to a show and needed to get going. She told us not much longer. We had our food within 5 minutes. I ordered the brussel sprouts and they were charred and in edible. The fish was dry. The brocolini was the only thing I could enjoy on my plate. Our waitress never came back to see how the food was, but we needed to get going anyway. Very disappointing experience!!

    They are known for their fried chicken but my wife’s order consisted of a small piece of breast meat and a wing. A very mediocre serving compared to what one would expect. On top of that the chicken was significantly over cooked and very dry. Two other meals were average in food quality. Service was very good.

    Absolutely AMAZING! The vibe, the food, and Mallory! She was fabulous. We are excited to come back ASAP! We live 1.5 hour away, but it's totally worth it. The specialty drink Blueberry Lavender Agua Fresca is fabulous. So refreshing. I enjoy the Lemon Garden party with grilled shrimp and my daughter raved about the Harvest bowl with with grilled chicken! For dessert the banana pudding!! Soooo good! Overall, 10/10!!
