    We attended Tupelo Honey for a birthday with a party of 6. The staff were super sweet and the food was the best meal we’ve all ever had (seriously.), granted it wasn’t too busy given it was a Wednesday night. Regardless, I’d recommend this spot to anyone looking for really nice food at a relatively low price given the quality

    Great! We loved it. One of our favorites, nice but not too fancy where we feel underdressed in a polo and sundress but still nice enough for a cute date night. Not overly expensive Surf and Turf is 25.

    We made a reservation and the table was ready when we arrived. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The wait time for food was also reasonable. We’ll definitely return when we’re in town again!

    The food was to die for! My wife and I left feeling like we were about to explode because we didn’t want to leave a single bite on the plates. I am definitely going to try and come back as soon as I get the chance!

    Inside is LOUD- fortunately an outside table was available and it was the evening was cool . We were pretty quickly greeted by our server, Bronson. Who was exceptional and really added to our positive experience. The queso dip was very good and the pork entree was good. The sides of rosemary potatoes and collard greens were very good as well. The chicken and waffles was a little disappointing, only in that wife didn’t care for the over enthusiastic application of black pepper. It was fine for me but she left most of it for take home. Waffles were good. We had a nice evening but really the thing that helped give it 5 stars was our server- he was so attentive that I felt like we were dinning in a “better” restaurant. Our second visit and we won’t hesitate to return.

    So loud I could not hear my jaw clicking. Very cold a/c. Excellent food, service and bartender knows what they're doing!
