   We have been to Tupelo Honey both in Asheville and in Franklin many times and loved it. It is our go to for solid Southern food and good service. This visit was a bit of a mixed bag. while the food was very good, the service we received was very subpar for them (our take was they were short staffed for the holiday). The restaurant was very accommodating in helping us move up our dinner reservation fifteen minutes. 5 of the 6 people in our group had flown in that day. Our server was nice but really inattentive, he walked away as we were ordering appetizers, we ordered two and were about to add another and he just walked away. Getting drinks refilled was also a challenge. The appetizers we did have the fried pickles and the green tomatoes were delicious, but not particularly hot. Three people in our party had the fried chicken and loved it, two people in our party had the salmon and said it was great. I had the shrimp and grits, it appears that my dish had been waiting a while for everyone else’s entrees because my entree was not hot, just barely warm. I tried looking for the server to alert him but was no where to be found. Normally we would have stuck around for dessert but after basically being ignored by our server the entire meal, we didn’t bother.

   Overall the experience was good, the service was great as were the drinks. The food was just ok. The pimento cheese dip was great, and the roasted potatoes were delicious. The chicken with mac and cheese waffles weren't very flavorful. The macaroni and cheese had no flavor with a gritty texture and the waffles were cold, the chicken however was good. This is just one rough food experience and it won’t stop me from going again. Past visits have been better with different plates ordered.

   Loved the entire experience. Would loved it if the Brussels Sprouts were crispier. Fried Green Tomatoes were the best of everything I ordered. Chicken & Waffles were great, but should come with a side dish (fries). The service was great. She was very attentive with drinks.

   This is one of our go to spots for brunch and it never disappoints. Our server was great and very friendly. We loved the manager's vibe as well as she was very engaging.

   We enjoyed everything. The pimento dip and fried pickles were excellent. I ordered the Asheville hot chicken ranch melt and it was not that great. The chicken had zero seasoning or flavor. Fiancé got the fried chicken and it was fantastic.

    We waited over an hour for our food to come out. We had reservations and the restaurant was not staffed to accommodate our party.
