The vaunted honey fried dark chicken was chewy. The replacement white version was tasty. French fries were far from “extra crispy “. With just one side order the meal is overpriced.

My second visit here and what a difference eating in the covered porch makes!! First visit inside was so noisy, but the porch was delightful to share lunch with a longtime (70 years!) friend from out of town. After devouring a delicious meal, we couldn’t stop talking, and our attentive, helpful & pleasant waiter Jason told us we didn’t need to feel rushed and refilled our water & iced tea!

Tupelo Honey is a nice place to meet with friends and have a good meal. The service was very good and the staff is always friendly. Pricing is reasonable considering the economy with food costs and labor. Their fried chicken is very good and the sides we had were good.

Everything is too highly salted. Asked for Bloody Mary to be made without mix just tomato juice but was served with mix just watered down. Hollandaise on Benedict’s too salty and overpowering lemon. Potatoes were good. My husband liked his shrimp and grits.

We visit Tupelo Honey on average monthly. This evenings meal reminded my wife and I of a junior high school cafeteria due to noise level. With a touch of a NASCAR/football tailgate party from being crammed between to large party table settings. Food and service were great. Although the waitress for the adjoining table ran into me not once not twice but 3 times due to the the space between the table being slightly larger than she was, she apologized. But scanning the restaurant there were other open tables/booths/high table settings all around so we are left to wonder “why” cram a party of two with a reservation into the atmosphere of a tailgate party. Seemed like a slow night due to heavy storms moving through. We will return, but if presented with a similar seating option plan to object.

Great breakfast and brunch place. Cracklin potatoes and cat head biscuits are a must! We let the hostess know we had kind of a time crunch, and she took our drink order right away and got the server over to us very quickly. Will definitely go back.

Tupelo Honey is a must! This time we took our friends who had two little dogs. This location allows the pups to sit at the table outside. As an added bonus, they have a pup menu!! As for recommendations, go for the hot chicken sandwich. The bread melts in your mouth as does the chicken. The lavender tea has an incredible "nose" as well as taste. We blended that with lemonade for our version of an Arnold Palmer.

Outstanding!!!! The hostess was absolutely the best person I’ve encountered in the service industry. As someone in the industry for decades, I appreciate someone with a positive attitude, graciousness & a talent for making you feel right at home. I’d snag her in a heartbeat to work with me (but I promise I won’t poach her!) Plus she’s an artist! She drew a beautiful card for me & my mom to help us celebrate our day. The food was amazing- server was amazing- I couldn’t have had a better experience. 10 stars!!

They received my reservation on file but it took them about 25 minutes to know that we were there. We had a lot of waiters pass us by without noticing we were sitting there. A simple someone will be with you in a moment would’ve worked out nicely. When he finally came he apologized but that was first time going and unfortunately my last.

This is a must-stop every time that we're in Asheville! Appetizers are always amazing (biscuits are best anywhere, roasted Brussel sprouts may be even better). Meals are unique, comforting and delicious. Desserts!! Banana pudding is perfect, if only too small a portion.
