Enjoyed a delicious brunch at Tupelo Honey. I’m new to the area and was looking for something satisfying and homey after a long week. Stopped by Tupelo and was seated at the bar. My server/ bartender Brittany recommended the shrimp and grits and a peach sweet tea. The food and service and vibe were fun and professional. Tupelo is my new local go-to!!

Thanks for being a great waiter, Jonathan! We’ve been here several times now, and I get the same great plate, biscuits and gravy. The chicken and waffles are also a hit. And those $3 mimosas are great for weekend brunch.
