36 East Tennessee Restaurants to Love This Valentine's Day

We Have Proudly Served Fresh, Made-from-scratch and "Forever Free" Food for over 20 Years: We started as a scratch-made, farm-to-table restaurant in Asheville, NC in 2000 because we believed food should be good for our guests and for the planet. Today, "forever free" means that many of our proteins were raised without antibiotics or hormones.

Overall everything was good. We have been here a few times and wanted our friends to enjoy a good meal. Because of traffic we were 15 minutes late. I did let the restaurant know we would be late. The hostess sat us at an unacceptable table. By the food to go and dirty dish rag for the bar. The server had to reach over to get the to-go meal. Asked for another table told curtly by the blonde hostess "There are no other tables you will just have to sit there." told all the tables open were reserved. The server talked to the manager who said it was all right to sit at an open table. The food was very good loved the fried green tomatoes and my chicken and waffles. Spouse got the new menu item Deconstructed beef. He really liked it. Throughout our meal, no one was seated at this table by the to-go food. A few tables were not filled while we were there.

Food was exceptional. We had the Tupelo Shrimp & Grits, and Original Honey Dusted Chicken w/collard greens. Both dishes received a 9/10! We couldn’t choose which one ‘won’ because we appreciated the flavors and craft of each dish, separately. We would recommend this place and each dish to anyone! You will not regret it. 🥳

Tupelo Honey is one of my family's favorite places. One of the reasons why we love visiting the south. We stop at one whenever we're in town. Our most recent experience was par for the course. It was a Monday night but the place was still buzzing. I've never had a server like we had that night. He never seemed to be around except when we needed. My plate was super basic. I had the white meat bone-in sweet and spicy fried chicken, collard greens, and mac-n-cheese and they were nothing short of perfect. We couldn't ask for a better menu, ambiance, or service. Tupelo Honey is an example of how to run a restaurant. Great food. Great drinks. Great service. Great ambiance. If, you're into that kind of thing :-)

Reservations for 9:30 - no waiting - patio seating area- prompt attention to order - food served quickly and delicious- Shrimp and Grits- Everything Bowl and The Cathead biscuits. Couldn’t order Alcohol until 10am - this needs to be more clear on websites- I would’ve booked a later time
Tupelo Honey - KnoxvilleResponded on August 9, 2022We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed all of your brunch items. The Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission does not allow the sale of alcohol on Sunday's, before 10am. That is a good suggestion to advertise that, thank you.

Being from SC, I was a little skeptical of the fried chicken, however it was top notch. The batter was delicious, seasoned just right and the chicken was moist and not one ounce or dryness. The Mac n cheese tastes like it was very tasteful. The collards were tender and seasoned perfectly as well. Hope to be back soon.

Smothered chicken was a little over-cooked. Not nearly as tender and juicy as it normally is. I've had it twice before and it was awesome those times. This time it was just OK. Server was pretty good, the cauliflower app was awesome as always and my husband enjoyed his shrimp and grits. I wish you had bigger to-go boxes. They're so tiny and my leftovers had to be squished into 2 of them

Three strikes, you're out. Strike 1: We had reservations for 4, and when we were escorted in by the hostess, she indicated a table that was in the middle of the restaurant with lots of traffic flow around it. There were 2 cleaned tables set for 4 up against the windows as well as an empty dirty one. I asked if we could be seated against the window and was informed they were being reserved for larger parties (which seemed strange since they were set for 4). Within the next 10 minutes or so, the hostess seated 2 separate parties of 2 each at the tables. Then a few minutes later, she seated another couple at the third table which had been subsequently cleaned. Last time I checked, 2 is less than 4. ???? Strike 2: My husband ordered the mahi dish. He is not all that picky of an eater and not inclined to send food back. But he said that the fish was basically inedible (tasted as if was old plus overcooked). The dish was replaced with another which was fine. But... Strike 3: A manager should have come over and apologized (at the least) for the less than satisfactory dining experience related to the fish, but no one did. We will not be returning.

I made the reservation and Mae sure I put ‘Birthday’ in the place it asked if it were a special occasion. However, the birthday was not acknowledged. I am not sure if the restaurant does anything for birthdays; but, if they don’t, why does it ask on the reservation??? I ordered the fried chicken and it was delicious. My sides of Mac and cheese and the potato cracklings were excellent. The chicken was moist and tasty. Another person in my party ordered the Chicken and Waffles. Her chicken was over cooked to the point of being dry. During the meal I noticed that people on the tables next to us ordered the same thing and it was over cooked as well. In fact, I heard one of them complaining about it. Those pieces of chicken are much smaller than the fried chicken and need to be cooked less time. The service was very good and the atmosphere is good. We had a reservation and were seated promptly upon arrival.

Overall a good experience. Certainly the service was very good. The reservation was ready on arrival, server was cheerful, friendly, and properly attentive. Food orders came out in a timely manner and drink refills were plentiful. Over all the food good, but like most restaurants, a little too salty, and a little too much. I’ll likely go back, but will try some of the other Market Square spots first.

The cat head biscuits were better than what my favorite aunt used to make. Portions were bountiful! This location is perfect whether you are meeting friends or family. The menu selections make you want to come back frequently so you can eventually have one of everything. The ingredients are fresh not processed which makes their food outshine some of their competitors on Market Square. Outstanding!!!
