Tupelo Honey is a revival of Southern food and traditions rooted in the Carolina Mountains we call home. We craft brunches, lunches and suppers that bring family and friends around the table and allow for conversations and cocktails to linger longer than usual. Always scratch-made, always responsibly-soured, and always Southern.

Our Dog Friendly Patio is available year-round. Ask our host about our special dog menu! The patio is covered from the elements, but does not have heaters.

    I heard great things about this place and they were all CORRECT! Food was delicious, service was friendly and timely (ask for Jenna, she's great! 😍), and the chairs were so comfy and cozy. If you're hungry when you sit down, get the biscuits; they're GINORMOUS and that blueberry 🫐 jam is 🔥🔥🔥!

    Overpriced and poor customer service. We did not received silverware and had to wait over 10 minutes after the food arrived. Food is a small amount and overpriced. Alcohol beverage did not have alcohol in its drinks, it was not a mocktail that i ordered.

    Food was overall very good, although I think the fried chicken was overrated. Our server was kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. The food was a bit slow coming from the kitchen.

    Overall the experience was good, and we had very good service. Parking was a little tricky, however there were several parking lots available in walking distance. The cathead biscuits were really good, however, the grits texture were somewhat watery but with good flavor. The collard greens could use more flavor, and the brussel sprouts side could use a glaze to make them more favorable as well. Despite the few suggestions, the price for the amount of food was a great value.

    The wait was entirely too long. We watched several tables seated after us received their food and made payments. We asked and spoke with two back of the house managers. Neither provided an apology OR EXPLANATION for the apparent overlook. I would suggest that the GM provide, at a minimum, empathy training to the management staff ASAP. Dine on 7/23/2023. (Brunch)

    Food was excellent. Service was slow and our server tended to just disappear. Multiple times we sat waiting with no food and no drinks for too long. Long enough at one point that another server came and asked us if we needed anything and said she would go see if she could find our server.

    My experience here was my first time at the spot. The services was great and the food was good. I know a lot of people said the biscuits were good, but it didn’t taste as great as everyone hype it to me. I still definitely come back to spot. I had the shrimp and grits and hubby has the Mac and cheese waffles and Chicken.

    As always, the food was excellent, and the service was good. However, I wonder why it is so difficult to get a cup of decaffeinated coffee after dinner?! Three of us at the table asked for it, and although it was not closing time (they were still sitting guests), we were told the coffee service had been cleaned and put away, and they only had regular coffee available. Maybe they didn't want us to linger? We might have added dessert to go with our coffee...

    Service was great, but unfortunately when we went in we were told the wait time for food would be 45 minutes. The food was okay but nothing great. Ordered the chicken and waffles and then the roast beef po boy. The po boy was mediocre and the fact we had to wait 45 minutes just made it not worth it.
