   Food was good and service was kind but very slow for a half empty restaurant with lots of staff.

   This is my second dinning experience at Tupelo Honey and it was just as great as the first. Both were for Breakfast and they were very satisfyingly delicious.

   Easter Sunday early dinner (4:15) It was very crowded so we were seated a bit late. The manager offered his apologies. Our family and friends (10!) enjoyed the excellent service. Food was delicious!

   We used to love this restaurant and frequented it when we wanted a good meal. Haven’t eaten there in 2-3 years and I was surprised by what I found. The restaurant was clearly understaffed and the service, wait on the food, and quality of the food reflected it. The manager was very apologetic, which I appreciated, but I won’t be going back anytime soon.

   After my previous visit to Tupelo Honey, I was more than excited to eat there again. I previously had the chicken and waffles and it was amazing. This most recent visit, however, was a disappointment. I will say that this was Easter Sunday and they seemed understaffed and overwhelmed. After being seated, I ordered my food and it took about 40 minutes for the food to come out. When the food finally came out, I was disillusioned by the fact that it was cold. The pancake was tough and rubbery. The egg whites and bacon were also cold. The waiter was accommodating and had this replaced immediately, which I appreciated. The second iteration of the sweet potato pancake was warm and delicious but somewhat undercooked. The eggs and bacon came out sitting in a pool of some type of liquid- I have no idea what. The egg whites were warm, bacon not so much. The blueberry lemon mimosa was cloyingly sweet and had minimal alcohol in it. Given the distance I drove to go to Tupelo Honey and the suboptimal experience, I would be reluctant to go back again. If happen to be in the area, I might consider passing by.

    Delicious food, something for everyone and great service! We sat outside since the weather was great, the noise level was low since it is not on the main street and the music had a great old school vibe. The noise level inside was a bit too high for my liking.
