No way to get closer to Louisiana in Newport than Tupelo Junction Cafe. Amazing Bignets, Chicken and Waffles, Buttery biscuits and gravy, Chipotle bloody Mary. Sooo good.

I liked the buttermilk biscuit. It's a quaint old little place. I liked the iced chai.

This is definitely a go-to for us in Newport Beach. While the menu is daunting at first pass, it's also can't-miss. Everything is stellar. To start, consider "table beignets" for your party. Topped with cinnamon caramel apple sauces and crema, they are a perfect brunch starter to share. The crab benedict was delightful, plenty of crab, no skimping. Absolutely devoured the heuvos rancheros and smoked bacon scramble. The biscuit with that was spot-on perfection. Our boy also got the "kids version" of the dipped French toast with berry syrup and whipped cream. (We regretted the sugar intake later, but he loved it.) Only tried breakfast/brunch there so far, but if lunch/dinner is anything like it, we'll be back for many more meals. 5 stars, 10/10 would recommend.Kid-friendliness: They had a high chair ready for us, and the servers were wonderful and interactive with our 1yo son!

Great menu with a variety of selections. Everything we've had here has been great. Only complaint is we had made a reservation and they didn't have a table ready... and wouldn't for at least 15-30 minutes. We decided to sit outside even though it wasn't our preference.

As always, Tupelo delivered! The owner greeted us at the front door and the wait staff took over from there. It was Valentines Day and they were busy, but service was like we were the only ones there. The salmon dinner was superb! Thanks to Amy, Jess and the rest of the team!

Loved it in Santa Barbara. Love it here.Parking: Parking is free after 6 pm. I don't recommend it for small children. Nevertheless for adults, this place is top notch!Kid-friendliness: Small venue, floorplan is broken into a small central area and two alcoves.

We all couldn't be wait to have the fried chicken salad with corn bread croutons. Always a pleasure to come here, but was the first time we encountered rudeness, from the male bartender on site. Very rude. Anyhow, our server was awesome and he made it all worth while.

This is the 2nd time we've been here. Both times were great. My lady had the fried chicken salad and claims it to be one of the best salads she's ever had.Drinks were strong but good. Wish they had a little more selection on the cocktail menu or if it changed occasionally but that's pretty much the only gripe I had and it didn't stop me from enjoying the good food friendly staff and the quiet atmosphere.
Good grub, nice people.
