   I’m from the south; Atlanta, New Orleans and more. Went here to check out the southern cuisine. Flavors were OK, food ( fried chicken and fried green tomatoes were overcooked. Price versus quality was too much…

   The menu choices are varied enough for everyone to find something they like. I had the harvest bowl which was delicious. Our waitress was prompt and checked back in at appropriate times. It can get a bit noisy with large tables, but we were still able to carry on a good conversation.

   Our experience here was disappointing. Mixed drink order was incorrect and it took 2 attempts for bartender to correct it Appetizer was ordinary. We dined at 7:00 PM and they were out of some menu items already. Chicken was good, but not enough to overcome a lackluster experience

   Excellent food, really good service. The restaurant was unusually cold and lots of people eating in their coats. Would definitely return for the high quality food and service. Fun place!

   We’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.

   The food was good, however the service was very slow. It took over 20 minutes just to get water. Overall we enjoyed however the service aspect needs to be improved.

    I’ve been to Tupelo Honey in three different states. It never disappoints. Food is great, and service is always good.
