Excellent food, up-to-date surroundings. Tupelo Honey's biscuits and blueberry jam are a savory & sweet combination that is the perfect start to the meal. I had the shrimp po' boy. The shrimp are doused in a chipotle sauce that had just enough heat to elevate the experience above the norm. I also tasted the pork shoulder and immediately regretted not getting it instead!

So, on April 13th, we were in the area to visit my mother's gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery, and we became a little hungry, so I googled nearby places to eat and Tupelo was the 1st spot I noticed on Google. The pictures and the menu looked very pleasing. Let me tell you, I am so glad we chose Tupelo Southern Honey Kitchen. The food, the drinks, and the service were amazing. If you ever stop by ask for Amira as your server she is amazing, only thing is she only works weekends. I would definitely go back again.

Retirement reception and will say one of the best that I have attended, great set-up, Staff was on it with drinks (refills) and replenishment of the food line. Nice atmosphere, and the food served was absolutely delicious. I tried everything, but the fried green tomatoes, just not my thing. Everything else I tried and it was all good. Chicken & waffles, mac & cheese balls, meatballs, biscuits with Blueberry jam underneath butter (Wow). I could not stop poppin the deviled eggs in my mouth. Definitely a Winner Winner Chicken Waffles Dinner !!!

I love this place so much!! I've been here several times for brunch and never disappointed me. The lavanda and blackberry mimosa are fantastic, the service is excellent as well, I highly recommend, make a reservation because it is always
This was not a good experience. On the plus side, we made a reservation and gotten seated immediately. That was the highlight. We went on a Sunday for a 1:15 lunch. We waited for over ten minutes for anyone to acknowledge us. I ask for tea with some sweetener and biscuits as an appetizer. The tea came with no sweetener so I nicely asked again and still never came. The biscuits were delivered but we had no silverware so we had to wait again for our server to appear which took another ten minutes. We order our lunches and from there the real wait began. It was over 50 minutes before we received our food. We had the appetizer chicken which had no flavor at all. We also got the smothered chicken with the gravy on the side, Mac and Cheese and a Caesar salad. Again, without the sauce the chicken has no flavor, the Mac and Cheese was barely warm and the salad did not come for five minutes after the food was delivered. The salad would have been good except it have way too much dressing, and I like dressing. There was a couple sitting besides us and we start to chat and "bond" over the face that they had waited over an hour for their food and they also felt it was tasteless. Without adding salt and pepper it had no flavor. The other issue we had is that two ladies sat down about five minutes after us, had our same server and was waited on first and their food was delivered within 15 minutes, I don't know why but it was also very frustrating.Our service was not good at all, we had to watch for her to ask for a refill of our drink and had to flag her down to give us our check. As far as ambiance, over all it is fine but the music is a bit loud when you have a packed restaurant so it makes it hard to talk. This place has such good reviews so I am not sure what went wrong with our meal but it was bad in so many ways. I would not return.

Had the summer berry salad (added salmon) and it was fantastic, the balsamic vinaigrette is better than Cavas and the salmon was cooked perfectly, had a nice crust on the outside but still juicy in the center.I would’ve given 5 starts however couples came in after me and received their food first (mind you I ordered a salad) and the bartender tried to upcharge me for my drink in a very sneaky fashion; she gave me a paper bill and the itemization didn’t have a charge next to one item but when scanned the barcode to pay online I saw I was charge an extra $3 for this item. Not major but that was enough right there.Overall, I still enjoyed myself I just wouldn’t sit at the bar again and please double check your bill.

Came on Easter Sunday and was seated immediately as a party of 2. Waitress came over about 10 min later, food came out a solid 50 minutes later. We ordered the smothered chicken thighs and spicy chicken sandwich, both with sides of Brussels sprouts and also a chicken tortilla soup. Both fried chicken dishes had no flavor and were overcooked/hard and semi-cold. We added salt and pepper to make it edible. The Brussels sprouts were awful. Inedible so we changed it for fries (also had to add salt and pepper) and side salad. The best and only good part of the meal were the virgin bloody Mary’s. Those were very good, but overall we can’t believe this place is currently rated a 4.2.

It's a vibe as soon as you walk through the door. Customer service was excellent and our food was delicious. Everyone from the host, greeter, waiter, and manager were so engaging and made sure our first time experience was memorable. I'd recommend the lavender lemonade, and the Ol Skool Breakfast bowl. ? I drove more than 1 hr to the spot and it was well worth the drive! I'll be back soon!Parking: It's kind of tight down there with some construction going on.
Amazing quality food, very friendly service. Just an all around great experience.
