Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar

The fried green tomatoes on top of grits were a very tasty appetizer. (The grits were actually great!) The mac and cheese, however, was disappointing- definitely not a southern recipe, but cheese sauce and pasta.

This is my neighborhood place. Excellent service and good food. Try the shakshuka. The Parmesan cheese grits make this dish delicious.

We went for the $25 meal deal and had a great experience! Food was good, portions were big, and the courses were timed well.

The server was lovely but the food was meh. Saying you have a southern inspired menu and then having goat cheese grits is an insult to all our southern grandmas. And the mac and cheese is gross. And the gravy for biscuits has no sausage. Say what?!? If you wanna be southern inspired work on the basics. The only bright spot was our server was delightful. Otherwise no plans to come back.

This place was on my list and did not disappoint. The food was hot and seasoned well and the service was good.

The manager superb! Amazing staff from the time you walk in. Food is what we expected and more. Wanted to purchase the glassware for my visiting family member and the manager wrapped them up himself and would not let me pay for them. Christmas came early for my aunty visiting from Maui. Amazing hospitality 💜

We went with a large group and was pleased with the food and the service. Nicer time I’d like to try with a smaller group.i hear the Mac n cheese is very good. Will have to try it next time. I really enjoyed the hot honey. The magi magi was good as well.

Bartender was amazing

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.*
