I absolutely loved this restaurant, the food was great and was upscale. The mimosa flights were the highlight for me.

We went for Restaurant Week but it looked like the deal might still be available on weeknights. $20 for starter and selected entrees with a mini banana pudding to wrap it up. Great deal, super helpful service. Food was excellent. Will head back soon!

Here’s a more straightforward version:
**⭐⭐⭐½ (3.5/5) - Solid Southern Comfort Food**
I visited Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen for a business meeting. The atmosphere sits somewhere between casual dining and upscale—comfortable and polished without being stuffy, similar to chains like Outback Steakhouse but with a Southern focus.
My colleague, who recommended the place for its soul food offerings, had mixed results with her order and sent back most of her dishes. I can’t speak to whether this reflects the food quality or just personal taste preferences.
**My Experience:**
I ordered their honey fried chicken, which they’re known for, and genuinely enjoyed it. The flavor profile was interesting and well-executed—not groundbreaking, but notably good. The service was attentive and professional, making it easy to conduct our meeting without disruption.
**Overall Impression:**
It’s a reliable option for Southern comfort food. The setting works well for business lunches or casual dining. While it might not become a destination spot for me, it’s a perfectly good choice when you’re looking for this style of food in a comfortable environment.
*Worth visiting if you’re in the area or looking for approachable Southern cuisine.*

The place is great. My lady and myself came here and I had the sweet potato pancakes with scrambled eggs and turkey bacon. She got the fried okra and Shrimp and grits. It was delicious and on this day in particular it was very serene. The ambiance is fitting to the restaurant, very inviting and warm. The food was great just, just like it was in North Carolina. Lawrence was our host and he saw to it that we were greeted in and seated in a respectful and timely fashion 10/10 would recommend.

Nice place. Excellent prices. Megan our waitress was very nice. Not out of this world food but good. It was fun.
My only points of notes arewhen you have a party of 12 and they immediately order 6 appetizers you should be a little more on top of drinks. There were 3 other tables there. They weren't overtly busy. Lastly 2 of our steaks were over cooked. Other than that everything was phenomenal as usual.

Im going to be as respectful as possible, but I got the steak and eggs The eggs? Sorry as hell, the Steak? Sorry as hell, the Collard Greens? The sorriest. The salad? Serviceable and the grits? Not sorry as hell I just don’t like overly buttered grits and I’m sure they don’t make it like that but this time it tasted like they put the entire stick of butter in the mix. Overall I’m sure this place has other great dishes but other than my order the chicken tenders were fine, the collard greens are heavily seasoned with pepper along with my steak. And the potatoes were fine just very big. Once again overall very nice place, customer service was amazing and the restaurant itself was great but the steak and eggs, and collard greens are a hard pass for anybody who doesn’t want steak only seasoned with pepper and eggs. And if you like southern style collard greens I would most definitely not get them from here as of right now.
$47 spent btw ($31 steak and eggs with grits)
($16 chicken tenders with collard greens and potatoes
