- EEvyIowa •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe’ve eaten here three times and it seems to get better and better. It was Valentine’s Day so it was very busy. Our server was efficient and polite. The variety of the menu always surprises me as Tupelo Honey is best known for their fried chicken and southern comfort food. I had the grain bowl and the spiced pumpkin bisque. I could have licked my bowl, the soup was that good. Several people in our party had the meat loaf and that also did not disappoint. The smothered chicken was another winner! I highly recommend this restaurant.More infoTupelo Honey - Des MoinesPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Southern• Des Moines•4.3

Upon being seated we were gifted a gorgeous valentine rose.
