We went to this restaurant for lunch around 1:30pm on Tuesday, and asked if we could sit outdoors to have more light. The person at the front desk said it would be a forty minute wait. He then took us all the way to the back of the restaurant and sat us near the bathroom, although the front of the restaurant was half empty and some tables outside appeared available. We thought maybe people reserved those tables. When we left about 50 minutes or so later, at least 3-4 tables outside were still available. I wasn’t sure if it was because we were just wearing simple tshirts or because I am a minority or both. The server must have decided we shouldn’t get a table at a more noticeable location because we somehow are unworthy of the table we requested. Regardless of the reason, this would be the last time for me to go to this place.

This place is amazing ? I recently brought a friend here from Boston and they really went above and beyond and showed him what true southern hospitality is all about. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. I will continue coming to this location for many years to come and always introducing new people to Tupelo Honey ?

One of our go to favorite places. Food is always great and unique. We both had the breakfast bowl and the roasted red pepper sauce was outstanding. I usually go for the chicken and waffles with sriracha honey but opted for something different this time and I’m happy I did! Great place to eat any time of the day.

By far one of the best breakfast meals in my whole life. The dish is called Old Skool and it's freaking delicious that haunts me. It's rosemary potatoes, grits, bacon and eggs in a red pepper sauce topped with cheese and a green salsa. Charlie had the Avo Wggs and they were good but Old Skool is where it's at. Our waiter was perfect, the atmosphere is relaxed, the food eclectic!

First time eating at the famous Tupelo Honey in Asheville. We had to see what the hype is about.Went to lunch there today Wednesday April 17.I had the breakfast Skoolie bowl and it was so delicious. My friend ordered a Mac and cheese waffle with chicken. She didn’t realize it had ranch on it and she doesn’t eat mayonnaise. Our server was Grant and he so kindly apologized even though it wasn’t his fault and he also brought her a dessert to make up for the mistake.We could tell that Grant was warm hearted. His service was so appreciated and especially his eye contact and smiles.The food was just over the top delicious. We loved it.The atmosphere was adorable too. Even the bathroom was cute too.

Wish there were more menu options but VERY good food, the Sweet and Spicy Chicken sandwich was AMAZING, as was the blood orange soda. Service was okay, they were kind, and the place itself made me want to sleep, but still you go for the food and it didn’t disappoint!
My friends and I ate here on April 17, 2024. We were seated right away. Our server James was very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. If you like heat try the Sriracha chicken and waffles. The lemon vinaigrette on my salad was delicious. Highly recommend.

We happened to be in town and had a gift card so we went downtown to try it. Parking was a bit crowded but the walk was pleasant and only 5 blocks away We didn't have a reservation but we were immediately able to get a table on the outside. Our service was great, the food was delicious, and my wife thought she had been served onions on her order and we told the server. The GM immediately came over and assured my wife it was not onions but fennels. He was willing to have it remade but once she knew that she was ok The restaurant is right across from a city park and lots of stores and street artist around. The city does seem to have a very large gathering of hemp users and homeless people everywhere!

Excellent harvest bowl with grilled chicken! Get the fried green tomatoes for a starter, they're placed on a bed of delicious cheesy grits! The banana pudding is perfect for sharing! Service is very friendly!
