   Living in the Baltimore-DC corridor, I’ve often been disappointed in a lot of the pricey, highly rated dining options in either of those two cities. Neither seemed to compare to the top-rated places I’ve been to in the Philly area, where many of our relatives live. All that is an intro to state that Tupelo Honey is the first place we ate at in the Asheville area, and if other options are as good then Asheville will be much closer to the Philly area than the Baltimore-Washington area. Everything I had there, including the leftovers from my daughter’s mac-and-cheese, were among the best things I’ve ever tasted. We had the cauliflower as an appetizer, and I had the smothered chicken with crispy Brussels sprouts and a bowl of tortilla soup as sides, and they were all exceptional. My daughter and I also both had the banana pudding for desert. I’ve never had a banana pudding I didn’t like, but this too was exceptional. We will definitely be returning during our stay in the Asheville area.

   I was so looking forward to having breakfast lunch at this restaurant. The food was mediocre at best. Processed food

   Food is very good at reasonable prices. Drinks are expensive - $8.50 for local draft and 9.50 for small glass of wine. Food is served quickly which can be a good thing but maybe too fast. In and out in an hour. Usually able to get reservations on short notice.

   Biscuits were fantastic, I would highly recommend them!!! At our table we had overdone brussel sprouts, pretty flavorless tortilla soup, and “meh” meatloaf

   They should fry shellfish in another fryer. For people with shellfish allergies they are unable to eat half the menu there. Not even Brussels sprouts or potato’s because they use the same oil.

    We had an excellent experience! We had a party of 11 (9 were Tupelo "first-timers") and there was another party of 20, not to mention the restaurant was full of other patrons. Our service was impeccable, food was delicious and delivered in a timely manner, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be returning!

    Inefficient and unfriendly service by the Host and Server, probably due to short staffing. Disappointing food with many of the items seriously overcooked including the fried chicken which was tough and dry. The mac-n-cheese was inedible due to oversalting.

    Tupelo Honey's South Asheville location is one of our favorite restaurants to visit whenever we find ourselves in Asheville. The food is always delicious, and the ambience is perfect. The staff are always kind and friendly, and they're attentive to any need. They even make sure our pup, Maddie, has a wonderful experience while she's dining with us on the patio.

    Jamie (the greeter) was really nice, friendly, and gave us the background on why she loves this establishment. They really care for and take care of their employees in their time of need. The sale of each biscuit order goes towards a fund that helps employees financially (they have away $400k last year alone). I had to get that out of the way first. My wife and I really respect that about this company! So of course we placed an order for the biscuits to support their efforts. They are 2 HUGE biscuits for $4, and they come with butter and a blueberry jam. They were warm and fluffy, and were pretty good. Honestly, they're not the BEST biscuits I've had, but based on what they stand for, I'd get them again. I ordered the honey dusted chicken (dark meat) with the sweet sriracha sauce on the side to drizzle on; my wife had the meatloaf. Both were good, but if i were to order again, I'd go for the meatloaf. I tasted some of hers and it was very flavorful. The chicken was good, but again, not the BEST fried chicken I've had. I also had the banana pudding for dessert, which was also good. And our server, Sam, was very nice, energetic, and very attentive. If you go to this location, ask to be seated in her section, if possible. (Note that we went before the dinner rush, so it was quiet with very few customers and we had a choice of seating. Otherwise, Jamie told us they are usually packed with a 2-3 hour wait if you have no reservation). Overall, a good 4 out of 5 star experience!

    My husband and I had a wonderful dinner. The food was excellent but the service was even more so. Our server Jack made our visit one to remember. He was not only attentive with the service itself, but his engaging personality had us and other patrons around us enjoying lively conversation though out our meal. We will definitely be back.

    Service was lackluster. Not timely or efficient. Five employees stood around chatting 8 feet from us, and no one took our drink order. Slow to get the food out. Slow to get the check. Etc. Food and crowd and mood/ambience was excellent.

    Really good Southern food, including mac and cheese waffles with fried chicken. Service is cheerful and prompt. We ate outside so the only noise was from an occasional enthusiastic dog. Shrimp and grits are really good. A reservation is absolutely necessary for weekend brunch or any busy hours. The downtown version has been an Asheville staple for decades and the south location is great, with lots of outdoor seating.
