    This was our first time here. This place was amazing. We came for brunch. Our server was amazing. We had a party of 6. Me and another guest had Fried Chicken and Waffles. It was the bomb. We tried the crème burlee waffles. Also amazing. Another guest had the Chicken biscuit sandwich. It was huge and looked appetizing. When we are back in Dallas we will be coming here again.

    I LOVE THIS PLACE. I messaged the restaurant staff for my friends birthday, asking for help with a sweet delivery during our brunch - if possible!! Some places won’t do that, so I wasn’t sure! They messaged me as soon as I had made a reservation, and offered me two options to be delivered during our brunch. 💕 I had initially chosen the banana pudding, and SHE LOVED IT. I really appreciate all their help in making my friend feel special, not just with the dessert, but throughout the meal. This is such a sweet place, and I would recommend it to anyone! Not to mention THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS!!!! Thank you to y’all at Tupelo Honey - Las Colinas. Y’all are the best!!! 🩷

    There were 7 of us and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. It was nice outside so we dined on the patio which was very nice and a bit quieter than inside. Acara was our server and did an outstanding job of taking g care of us. It was my 1st visit but will definitely not be my last!
