   I had the avocado bacon sandwich with havarti cheese. Those blended flavors were very good. Others at the table had the pimento cheese fried green tomato sandwich which was good but very filling and the fried chicken with collards as the side was also very good Service was great. It’s a casual family restaurant so the noise level was high but not annoying.

   Way over priced for what it is even in the city. 15.95 for fried chicken and it was so overcooked it was stringy and I had to chew forEver. I didn't have the heart to bother the waitress as she was so sweet and kind. My wife had the shrimp and grits and she said it was ok but at one point had to show me a shrimp and ask if it was cooked enough... Over and Under (pun intended) on Tuopy, save the 50 bucks for lunch and go to a mom and pop diner for half the money and better food.

    The food was amazing but the service was less than adequate. There was a cook that was coming in and out of the back room who used the F word three times with my six year old sitting right next to me. Not cool.

    I have seen recent reviews complaining about service and food temperature. We dined on a Friday night which is about as busy as it gets. Our server was attentive and accurate. I had the ol School breakfast bowl which was enormous for the price and delicious. Hubby had chicken and waffles. Both came out of the kitchen before we could finish our biscuits. We had a great experience. Would have no hesitation in returning at any time.

    We had a reservation and was seated promptly. Waited 10 min to be acknowledged. After that service was poor. Server even reach across with a plate and bumped my husbands hand who was eating which caused him to spill all down himself. Oops sorry he said and just walked off. No napkins or empathy. We had to wipe the food off my husband. Won’t be back.

    The restaurant was out of their House Wine and also the Chocolate Cake dessert on a recent Wednesday night dinner. The reservation was at 6:00 and the restaurant was not very busy for a night when there were multiple activities going on Uptown. We were told they don't stock the House Wine as much as the other wine offerings which were limited. Also, were told the last piece of cake had been served right before we ordered dessert at 6:45. Again, with limited dessert options that seemed odd. Our meals were just average and not quite what we expected from this restaurant.

    Food was horrible. The biscuits were dry and salty. Generous size tho. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles. They brought the food out cold and maybe a half portion. He sent it back and didn’t eat. He said he would go without. I ordered the smothered chicken Mac and cheese and fried potatoes crackling. The gravy was bland as well as the Mac and cheese. They cut the potato in half and fried it. It was a terrible experience. I sent it back. The waitress was great. I went to Wendy’s after because I was so hungry. Terrible food experience tho

    We had in guessing an off experience. It first started with the drinks… The old fashions were made pretty poorly really sweet and our server didn’t know the difference between a Sauvignon Blanc and a red wine. Then our meal came out very sporadically sides came after we were almost finished with eating our meal and there was no apology or what was going on it was just here you go and pretty disappointing. Food was average.

    Tupelo Honey - Uptown CharlotteResponded on November 9, 2022Hello Sarah. I am sorry to hear about the service and food that you received during your visit.

    Stopped by on a whim and fell in love with the restaurant. The service was superb and our waiter prevented us from over-ordering. The fried green tomatoes were legend. The Mac&Cheese loaded waffles were definitely inspired.

    Let me first say our server Austin was great! The food on the other hand was lacking, recently visited the Asheville location and it was so good we decided to take my mom here and she just was not pleased. Her mahi was over cooked and very dry, she ate her sides but did not enjoy her green beans. My Brussels sprouts were lacking in flavor, I had to switch them out for collards. Also I had to ask for extra gravy for my smothered chicken, definitely came out lacking the smothered. My wife’s shrimp and grits were very soupy than usual so she decided to stir them and take them home hoping they would absorb by next day. So in all the service was great and the fried tomatoes were amazing as always but the other food was not up to par as usual, this had to be a bad night for the kitchen. Will be awhile before my next visit but I’m not counting them out just yet.

    Tupelo Honey - Uptown CharlotteResponded on October 30, 2022Thank you for your feedback, and thank you for shouting out Austin! I am sorry to hear that your food was less than stellar. Please know that this is not our standard. We look forward to you returning so that you may have a meal that you will love. Thank you.

    The bone in fried chicken was slightly on the dry side with too much crispy coating which was a bit dark likely as the oil hadn’t been changed in a while.

    We had a reservation and waited about 15 minutes to be seated. We waited another 10 minutes for a server, only to be told we were seated in the bar area and that one of the folks manning the bar would take our orders. The food came out - the chicken looked like it was under a dimly lit warmer. It was hard, dry and Luke warm as if it had been sitting for a while. The Mac and cheese was barely warm. We ordered Brussels sprouts and found out later that they were out when we inquired as to why they were not delivered. We subbed for collard greens - they were delicious. The Mega mimosa was the same size as the water glass. Overall horrible experience and the sad part is that I’ve heard nothing but good things about the food. Why our experience was so bad, I have no idea

    The chicken was fried so hard on our plates that I only could chew it a little then spit it out because it was stringy from being fried so hard. Other food was cold. Collards were sweet but that is a matter of preference I personally hate any greens that taste sweet. The waiter was really nice so we didn't really complain except about the lack of temperature.

    This was my first time at the Uptown location. I was pleasantly surprised at how big it is and nicely decorated it was. Very cool vibe. The waitress want all tha knowledgeable about the food or the drinks given she was pescatarian and hadn’t really tried much of the beverages…but that was fine. We enjoyed the honey siracha chicken and waffles. I will definitely be back.

    Came in on a business trip for dinner. Made my reservation through Open Table and was seated at the bar! The mixologist behind the bar, combined with the well orchestrated teamwork from the kitchen to server to table was nothing short of amazing! All of the food was delicious from the Margarita, to the Fried Green tomatoes (you really need to try them) although lacking some salt were delicious! Went on to my main course of Shrimp and Grits which was sublime and creamy, finishing with a mini serving of the pecan pie, which was just the right amount of sweet after the amazing southern comfort dinner! If you’re in Charlotte downtown for fun or business; I can highly recommend making a stop her for Lunch, cocktails, dinner or all three! The team at Tupelo Honey have it all going on and then some!

    I have been to Tupelo Honey before and remembered it to be much better than my time there this time. They were out of several items, the food really was not that good, and the server didn’t really seem to want to be there. I would not recommend going to this location and doubt I’ll go back.

    The fried chicken was good. Not as good as their Milwaukee location as I've been informed by my party. Not as good as what was Price's Chicken Coop and not as good chicken as a place like Gus' but, good. My suggestion to Tupelo Honey is 1) pour a larger cocktail. For $13, it was a lot of ice, garnish and simple syrup. The total liquid content (including syrup and bitters) was laughable & 2) dim down the lights just a tad to create some ambience. It felt like a brightly lit diner.

    On our visit on a Sunday evening after attending the Roval race at Charlotte Motor Speedway and the Carolina Panthers were playing in town it appeared that the goal that night was to get people in and out of the restaurant quickly. Our food arrived 5 minutes after ordering it - the food was average, portion sizes on the smaller side. The portion vs price of the item -- I believe you should get more food or the price should be lowered.
