Great food, good service-
night me and my friend was there was busy but we were seated promptly, waitress helpful and friend friendly and food came our timely. I had fried okra and shrimp and grits when there and was excellent.
This is one of the best happy hours that I’ve been to - I highly recommend it!
We had a wonderful experience! The food was delicious! The staff was very accommodating and attentive. I don’t eat sausage but really wanted the biscuits and chicken that had a sausage gravy on it. Our waitress noticed the cooks had a batch they had started to make of the gravy and asked if they could put some aside before they add the sausage! This is the kind of service we are lacking and need more of! Thank you for such a great experience and out of this world great tasting...read full review

Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar, located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, offers a delightful dining experience with its scratch-made Southern cuisine, available for brunch, lunch, and dinner. The restaurant is known for its friendly service, welcoming atmosphere, and diverse menu, catering to various tastes and occasions.

Recent customer reviews mention that the restaurant can be very busy and chaotic, sometimes feeling understaffed. There are reports of long waits without service, and some guests felt the atmosphere was not very relaxing. One visitor noted being turned away at the door because of no reservation, which made them feel unwelcome, despite eventually being seated after making a reservation online. Service quality has varied; some found the staff friendly but overwhelmed, while others experienced delays and unwelcoming attitudes, especially during brunch. Food quality is generally described as good, but some dishes, like the breakfast mountain bowl, were disappointing with undercooked eggs and soupy grits. Despite these challenges, the restaurant remains a popular spot for those seeking Southern comfort food, with many appreciating the clean, accessible facilities, and parking options.
