“It's an old school dinner... you literally step back in time when you go in. The owners must be like, "I remember the 60s and 70s and loved it so much that I'm never leaving them. The world around this place can change, but it won't." Anyway, the menu is straightforward, so no ordering challenges. Find something you like and order it. The food is pretty good as it isn't derived from any fancy recipes, kind of like what you do at home. Bacon is bacon, egs are eggs, you get the idea. So this place is where you go to eat when you just want what you fully know and understand, and, and your wallet is like how did you pull that off for all of us.“

Because they didn't have greens, I ordered something down the road with greens and told her to leave her leftovers for my husband. She hijacked "It Don't Matters" food and hid her leftovers to eat tomorrow! She left "the other food" for my husband. Lol Just GO!“

Hudson Cafe Soul Food •
1314 S Pleasantburg Dr, Greenville

“Food was absolutely DELICIOUS! And I mean EVERYTHING!! ZERO complaints whatsoever about the quality and taste of the food. My only gripe is the portions need to be more compatible with the prices and a beverage should come included with a meal, not extra. I literally asked for a little more mac & cheese which he willingly obliged. I did notice those who dined in had a considerable amount more food on their plates than our carry-out plates. Will definitely try them again to give them the opportunity to earn 5-stars! Our meal selections were: meatloaf, fried fish, mac & cheese, cabbage, okra, cornbread and roll. The staff were former classmates of mine. VERY friendly, professional and welcoming. Would have loved if the owner of the establishment had come out to greet and meet the people if he/she were there. That would've definitely been a nice touch.“

“This place is going downhill fast. We have been coming to this location and the one on Woodruff about once every 2 weeks for a while now. The past couple times the quality of the food is not what it used to be. The sandwiches as just thrown together and the toppings are not the best quality. This time around also the sides were limited. We may have to figure out another place to have our once a week dinner out.UPDATE:After being invited back to give them another try, the food was great. Management was responsive and I am a long term customer.“

They start us out with the best biscuits I have ever had in a restaurant, drizzled with honey. I ordered Chicken and Waffles, my friend ordered chicken tenders, fries, and fried okra. Everything we ate was delicious and the fried food was not greasy. When we requested Honey Mustard for our chicken, the chef made a fresh batch just for us. We felt so well cared for and left with a very full stomach. Thank you to the whole team for making our whole weekend better.“

“Greetings! Tupelo Honey stands out to me as an amazing slice of modern southern cooking in the heart of Greenville, SC. I found my way here via hotel front desk recommendation, and I am happy, and surprised, to share I've taken my three breakfasts/brunches this weekend at this location. It was worth EVERY meal, and I don't regret the opportunity cost of what I might have missed going to other places. When it's this good, the next places could be a let down...I'm sustaining success and I loved every bite. Here's the breakdown: First of all- space is immaculate, cozy, and welcoming. First Win- The coffee- rich, full of flavor, hint of smoke, and a reason alone to come if you, like me, take coffee seriously. Second Win- Smothered Chicken...simply stunning dish featuring their fried boneless chicken thighs, perfect gravy, and amazing sides. Second only to Michie Tavern in Charlotte, VA. Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Grilled Broccolini, and Parmesan rosemary potatoes sublime. Third Win- Had to have the smothered chicken again came back the next day. Did not disappoint at all! Fourth Win- I asked an Uber drive for local food leads and he recommends the Shrimp and Grits, the dish I wanted the second day but couldn't get past the smothered chicken. The first bite confirmed I was in food Nirvana...and so glad I came back for the third time...and I'm charmed! Behind great food, are the great people. Hats off to Bo, Clay, and Alyssa...they're pros and you'll love their on point service, genuine smiles, and charm. Until next time...tk“

“The food is always on point here. I eat here often as I am able. It can be a bit crowded at times but that's to be expected when you have good service and food. I always TIP the servers here, as a former waitress myself I know how slammed you can be and busy and hard working and to top it off by being kind to customers is a plus. It's a good look so I ALWAYS pay attention to how I am treated with service. I do want to recommend this place for ALL meals. Breakfast lunch dinner dessert they have it all. They serve some really delicious fried chicken! Especially the breast. It's juicy flavorful and crunchy and good! I'm a Southern woman so I gotta have fried chicken! ?? I highly recommend it. I love their burgers to and hotdogs! They always are good. those cooks don't play around. Its comfort Southern food here and the sweet tea is good. i recommend the broccoli and cheese casserole. I love the pot roast too. Y'all it's all ? good. I do want to pinpoint Heatherly as she told me she has been there 10 years. Her service is great. She has a very good attitude and is ALWAYS kind! I recommend her and if you go I'd ask for her. I didn't see her stop smiling once. I come here for breakfast and dinner so I'll keep coming here as long as it going like it is. I've never had a problem here and I'm ALWAYS treated good here. So thank you for everything! Y'all go get that fried chicken now! Recently I got sausage eggs n grits and biscuit. That biscuit is huge and good. Love those biscuits! It's filling and delicious ? ps the grilled chicken salad is bomb ?? it's huge you can't eat it all you'll have leftovers for home ?
