    Server was great and food was great. Decided to add gin to one of the non-alcoholic drinks (the blueberry purée one) and it was amazing. Definitely a good place to go to in Union Station area.

    A little over priced for the amount of food. My husband and I went before a hockey game and he had to get a hot dog after dinner. Food was good but not worth $19. We got there for happy hour so we had $5 drinks which were great. Would go again but not get the $19 chicken.

    We were there for a birthday and had a party of seven folks. Service was super slow although the food server was nice. One of our dishes came out ice cold, and the other not as expected. Car service was also slow. I’ve been here a few times before, and never had a great experience. I’ll probably not go back again.

    The spice level, overall, was higher than I expected for Southern-inspired. We also asked for a substitution on one side and the response was to send a manager, which felt weird. (We were wrong about what the side was and ultimately didn't need the sub but the way that the conversation was initiated was just odd. Apparently the chef's selections dishes do not allow for substitutions, period, the end.) The banana pudding was overly sweet, the biscuits were not as impressive as I'd hoped, and drinks were inconsistent - but the service was stellar, and I was in good company. So, all in all, a solid 3 stars.

    The traditional breakfast I ordered arrived before I got my coffee and water. I had to ask for it again. Never got the water. The crispy potatoes were crunchy ..not in a good way, so much so I couldn’t cut them and they scraped my throat. It almost seemed to like the bottom scrapes. The bacon was cold and flat and looked like it had been sitting around a while. I was very disappointed. I would have said something but it was so hard to find anyone to help, much less get a glass of water or a coffee refill.

    Friends met for a bite before the Stock Show parade. We didn’t realize the restaurant didn’t open until 11:0am, expected it open when we arrived for our 11:00am reservation. The restaurant is well known as a breakfast spot, so the 11:00 opening was a shock. The staff made us stand out in the freezing cold temp until exactly 11 - that is a bit harsh in my opinion! We were first to be seated and there were only 3 other small groups that came in as we were there. Based on the small number of people, the service was VERY slow. As a result of that, we missed the beginning of the parade, the best part! Disappointed.

    My third time dining at Tupelo Honey. We drive all the way from Evergreen because this place is so good! I'm not from the southern part of the US, but if I was, the food would bring back memories of all those good things. Chicken and waffles of course are favorites, but you must try the fried green tomatoes and shrimp and grits too. Wonderful place to meet up with friends and just be happy! Our waitress was so nice and attentive too. Of course we'll be back.

    Meh... I made the reservations from the reviews and the 4.6 stars on Open Table and the experience was...well, just okay. I'd heard great things from others and I figued this would be an awesome experiencw. The service was exceptional which bumps this to 3.5 stars. We ate at the bar and the guys behind the bar were outstanding making awesome cocktails and great conversation. The food was good, not exceptional. This is a chain and I guess we should have figured it would be what it was, chain food and chain ambiance.
