I got the farmhouse breakfast, and I asked for grits and got potatoes instead. I let Our waitress know and she went and grabbed me the correct item. The potatoes were super burnt not good to eat. The food was alright only

This restaurant has been one of my childhood favorites in downtown. The shrimp and grits and fried green tomatoes are really good and unique here. I would also recommend trying their biscuits. One downside is the wait time, if you don't reserve ahead of time you usually have to wait a while due to their popularity. Also the later you arrive the more likely they are to not have something on the menu, for instance we arrived at 8(9 is closing time) and they didn't have the cast iron pork, meatloaf, and bistro fillet available. Other than that - great food and service!Vegetarian options: There are a few vegetarian options, but it's pretty limited

This is one of the spots you want to go for breakfast. The chicken and Mac and cheese waffles are fire. And of course the drinks are banging too. A queen bloody Mary hits the spot, with the chicken and waffles. Would definitely recommend this spot for breakfast, brunch, or whatever you're craving breakfast food. Also the old school breakfast bowl is good also.

They don’t honor reservations. We booked outside for 11am and were seated inside at 1130. So not only did we not get the outside table we specifically booked, we waited 30 minutes to be seated. They also gave unclear instructions about where to wait and a rude employee came and told us to move because we were blocking a hallway (where they seemed to tell us to wait, along with 3 other groups). Our server Terri was the only good thing about our experience. He was really top notch.

Went for dinner here with my wife and daughter. It wasn’t busy when we arrived, but we still had to wait while the staff milled about and talked to each other before acknowledging us. Our waitress was friendly and helpful after that though.The food was good, but there were about 10 flies in our seating area that harassed us once our food came out. That section wasn’t particularly clean either.

Our party of 9 ladies made an 8:15 pm reservation for dinner on 4/6/24. I had recommended Tupelo Honey in Greenville SC due to a previous wonderful experience. We arrived and was seated. Our waitress, Sophia M. took our orders and then brought out our drinks. She then brought out an order of biscuits and refilled our drinks. While talking and eating the biscuits, we noticed almost an hour had passed and we had not seen our waitress and had not received our entrees. We then asked a waitress nearby to have our waitress come to our table so we could get an update on our food. Sophia came out and asked, "did you need me"? We asked her about our entrees and she informed us that our food was ready and would be brought to our table. Other waitresses along with Sophia brought our food to the table. The food was good. One member in our party asked about ordering a dessert and Sophia informed her that the kitchen was about to close. She did not go and ask anyone in the kitchen if the dessert was available. Then we noticed that another couple adjacent to our table placed an order for a dessert and our waitress brought it to their table. We then asked for our checks and to-go boxes and bags. She brought the to-go boxes and bags. Afterwards she brought our receipts in the black holders and sat them on the end of the table and started to walk away. We asked her if she was going to hand them out according to our orders and she replied "I thought that you could do that yourselves." We asked to speak to a manager and she made a smart remark as she was walking away to get the manager. The manager, Kylan came to our table and we informed her of our encounter with the waitress and how her attitude had changed since we asked the other waitress to get her. She apologized and stated that she would talk with the waitress that night. She also said that she would give us a discount on each bill. We explained that we did not need a discount but wanted to let her know of the negative behavior and poor customer service from the waitress. She then gave us a discount. I informed her that we would not recommend this location to anyone.

The food was amazing, the ambiance was comforting. Very much southern comfort food. They however weren't very accommodating with a service dog and gave us a hard time, so I'm taking off some stars because everyone should feel safe to enter an establishment.

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

They said there was a wait time of 2hrs and they had multiple empty tables sitting open. That's just ridiculous.

Hello, Im Norman! As a top Greenville yelp review, let me start off with an honest statement. Too long of a wait! We waited over an hour to sit down in their tiny bar that didn't even have enough seats. But, I will say, the food was pretty scrumptious!!! Other than the wait this restaurant is amazing. But Jimminy Crickets, we waited long!
