    We have eaten there many times and loved each time. This time I ordered Chicken Bennies for the first time with side of cheese grits, which I always love. The tiny piece of chicken was thigh meat - which was grisly and tough. Grits tasted OK but were very thick (not creamy as they usually are) and texture was as if they had been made a long time ago (our reservation was 10am). I know chefs have off days, & we will probably come back eventually. If we do, I will specify white meat.

    It was a family gathering for my mother’s 83rd birthday. Our server, Murray, was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and had a great sense of humor!

    Tupelo Honey - South AshevilleResponded on March 17, 2023Hello and thank you for leaving us feedback! We are sincerely sorry that we didn't have white meat chicken for you- it certainly is a big seller, and tends to go quickly. We do hope that you come back to join us, so that you can enjoy our crispy fried chicken another time. Have an amazing day!

    The food tasted excellent and our server Reed was quick and kind! Simone of the foods we got, despite being so yummy, was somewhat lacking in portion size, especially given the slightly higher price tag. Overall, would recommend and will definitely be back!

    First visit. Came for an early dinner. Restaurant not crowded at all, so very low noise level. Very friendly and helpful server. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with collard greens for the side. Best greens I have ever tasted! Seasoned with bacon. My wife had a roast beef sandwich with grits for the side. She loved it as well. Only complaint is that coffee was not hot. Would definitely return.

    Loud,very open compared to what it used to be..Food good,price reasonably high.Major complaint,bordering on gouging as the cost of drinks.$15-$16 for a cocktail is out of line with the area.This alone precludes me from returning.I do not the idea that I’m being gouged.

    Nice restaurant. Great staff. Biscuits were dense, but paired well with the honey. Chicken was okay. Something seemed to be missing in the depth of the favor profile. Food was okay, not enough to make a return trip.

    I always enjoy my meal at Tupelo. I had the fried chicken eggs Benedict and my companion enjoyed the bacon and sausage breakfast bowl. Due to the recent water outage they had to close for a few days. I wanted to support them when they opened.

    The food was very average. The biscuits were probably the best thing. The chicken and waffle were ok- very dense and the chicken was scraps of chicken friend and smothered on top of waffles.

    It was a place I can say I went to but probably wouldn’t go back. The waffle was amazing but I didn’t care for the chicken. My husband said the collards were the best he’s ever had but his pork was so spicy he couldn’t even eat it. It was supposed to have sriracha honey glaze but they forgot the honey. The biscuits with honey were good. The honey margarita was horrible and the amaretto sour I ordered was missing the $11 shot of amaretto. Overall I didn’t think the food we ordered was worth the $115 bill we received. The waitress was great and the glasses and dishes they served the food in were pretty neat. If you’re looking for unique food And want extremely spicy food this is the place for you. Tiktok really was a little deceiving lol my daughter has been here twice and recommended it so I know most people like it. It’s just not a hit for us.
