Tupelo Honey is a revival of Southern food and traditions rooted in the Carolina Mountains we call home.

    The service was outstanding. The food was incredible. Our overall experience could may have been better. From the time we walked in the door until the time we out, everything was outstanding.

    Solid dinner grits were slightly overcooked Service was very good and the Elijah Craig Old Fashioned was note worthy

    Very nice place and concept, but the execution of the “elevated” cuisine missed in a few areas. My wife’s steak was cooked and seasoned very nicely. My pork dish was tender and had a very nice hard sear. The appetizers were just okay and side dishes missed the mark. The garlic/parm potatoes were the best of the four (creamed spinach, mac & cheese, and collards) we had. We really wanted to try the banana pudding, but they were sold out. The mud pie was pretty good and the pecan pie was decent. Service was mid and the staff literally closed down the restaurant while we were still dining and they had at least 30-45 min before actual closing when we left. By the time we left the bathrooms had been cleaned, all floors swept and mopped, and chairs were on top of tables although they were open til 9 pm.

    Hi Eric, We're happy to hear that some highlights—like your wife's steak and your pork dish—hit the mark, but we're sorry to learn that other parts of your experience, especially the sides, desserts, and service, fell short. We also sincerely apologize for the way the closing procedures impacted your dining experience. That’s not the welcoming and attentive atmosphere we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’d love the opportunity to learn more and make this right. If you’re willing, please reach out to our management team directly at 616-239-7158. Thanks again for visiting, and we hope to have the chance to serve you better in the future. Warm regards, Tupelo Honey Cafe Team

    I have been here many times, and while I ultimately always love what I get, it seems there is almost always something they are out of. Yesterday, it was wine. The one I ordered was out, and my backup choice was running low, so I ended up with a small pour compared to what I ordered. Previously, it has been a dessert and a side dish. In each of the last three visits, something has been unavailable. I feel for the waiter coming back to the table and letting us know! With that said, the food is excellent, they are open on Sundays (harder to find than you may think), they take reservations, and the service is always stellar!

    Delicious food, served quickly even on a busy Sunday during brunch time. Staff were kind and friendly and the menu had a lot of fun options for everyone! The biscuits for a cause are a MUST TRY and the crispy Parmesan potatoes are to die for!

    Farmhouse breakfast platter was very good. My wife and I had the same brunch with the only exception being her eggs were done over easy while I opted for sunny side up. Chorizo sausage was very flavorful. Potatoes were okay a little bit too dry and not as many as I would have liked.
