"Awesome find!
The food is phenomenal. We ordered a mimosa flight. I loved it. Not hubby's thing. More for me.
He had the meatloaf with onion rings and cheese grits. The best grits, hands-down.
I ordered the whiskey and onion smash burger with the potatoes.
The food must had done a number on the hubs. He was talking about the complexities of the flavor...funny...but true.
Can't go wrong with their menu. Something for everyone.
The atmosphere is southern and modern. Great color palette and spacious."

"My dad and I recently visited Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar while on a Spring Break daddy-daughter trip.
Orange Cinnamon Roll Old Fashioned: I love a good Old Fashioned, so I knew I wanted to try this. It was definitely sweeter than most Old Fashioneds, but the taste was very flavorful. The cinnamon syrup truly came through and the brown sugar rim (or maybe it was raw sugar) was a nice twist.
Famous Fried Green Tomatoes: This appetizer order came with 3 fried green tomatoes atop a plate of heirloom grits, drizzled with roasted red pepper sauce. The grits were super creamy and flavorful, and paired well with the fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes added the perfect amount of crunch and “tang” along with the roasted red pepper sauce.
Bourbon Peppercorn Glazed Meatloaf: I was very intrigued by this meatloaf because of the combination of beef and chorizo. Let me tell you, it was a very meaty meatloaf, but it was well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. The bourbon glaze gave a nice hint of sweetness. The meatloaf came with 2 sides, and I selected the Rosemary & Parmesan Crispy Potatoes and Salt & Pepper Crispy Brussels Sprouts. The potatoes were super crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and were generously seasoned with rosemary. The brussels sprouts were awesome. This was a LARGE meal, so I had more than enough to take home for leftovers.
My Dad tried the Comfort Duo: a classic grilled cheese and tomato soup. There was nothing left on his plate at the end of the meal, so I think it is safe to say he enjoyed it.
The restaurant is HUGE, so they can accommodate larger-sized parties. The service was friendly and swift. Kudos to them for a wonderful experience!

"Really good food with a laid-back vibe. Great menu selection. I got the smothered chicken, mac and cheese, and salad. I was impressed with the flavor. My son got the kids cheeseburger with mac and cheese and cleaned his plate. They asked about reservations, but it didn't seem like a place you'd need reservations for. I'm assuming they get really busy during peak times.
Our waitress was kind and attentive."
