I must say the staff here were amazing and the food was absolutely delicious. My partner and I came in and were immediately impressed when we saw the place and loved the atmosphere of a true brunch place. Maryellen and Crystal was an absolute pleasure getting to know them. Our waiter Vinny did a phenomenal job, especially since he has recently started working there. You would have thought he has been there for years! Everyone made us feel very welcomed and had such great hospitality. We had fried green tomatoes, which were delicious, and our main dish was the Shoo Mercy Sweet Potato Pancakes which was to die for. We will definitely make it a point to visit every time we come down to Charlotte.
Awesome place with tons of ambiance and fantastic southern food! The crispy Brussel sprouts were delicious and I’ve never had better biscuits in my life. The buttermilk fried chicken is truly out of this world. Would definitely recommend this place and will for sure be back
Wait was ridiculous, however we did not complain once and the manager was generous enough to give us a free dessert. Chicken kind of let me down with not enough flavor, my daughters grilled cheese was very hard. But our service was great, the sweet tea was good, and the atmosphere was really nice. Next time we try I plan to go for the dinner menu.
Tupelo honey is that modern yet rustic restaurant that everyone who isn't from the South pictures when they think of Southern food.
We went there on a Saturday at 1100 for brunch and we were promptly seated. The patio had a slight breeze with a bit of sunshine peeking through that made our experience much more enjoyable. I started with the Sweet and Tart mimosa with grapefruit and blueberry puree. It was refreshing, tart and not too sweet. I ordered the Shoo Mercy Shrimp and grits and I was pleased with the amount of shrimp and how plump and perfectly cooked it was. The kale was just wilted right, but the "blistered" tomatoes were raw and I doubt made it for even a send on the grill. The grits were a bit lumpy, but the flavor was on pointe. My husband had the Steak and eggs which he polished off, but my son who ordered the Fried Chicken and biscuits said his chicken was a bit on the dry side. The white gravy helped a bit, but I was disappointed with that dish overall.
I came here with some friends for Sunday brunch and was happy we got there early (9am) since it filled up fast! We luckily found parking pretty easily and we're seated right away. The brunch menu is very large with a lot of options including lunch items like sandwiches. I will say the prices are a bit high, however everything was very good. We got a side of fried okra which is cooked perfectly and getting a side order of eggs gives you a very generous portion!
Our waiter was very friendly and quick to serve us and take our order. I will say that it was very cold in the restaurant and I had to leave my coat on the whole time.
Overall I would definitely recommend to visit in.
Really enjoyed our food. Got the Fried Green Tomatoes for an appetizer. They were good. Had a nice crisp outside and the grits were creamy and complimentes with the pepper drizzle. We ordered the Low Country Blackened Catfish which my wife really enjoyed. The sweet potatoes could have used a little more cinnamon, but the Mac and cheese was really good and tasted homemade. We also got the Vegetable Pot Pie and it was good as well. The gravy was creamy and flavorful. The vegetables all had the same general texture so it could have used something to differentiate the veggies. The pastry on the top was very flake and help break up the veggies. The Mason Jar banana pudding was tasty. The banana were a little cold and firm, but still tasty. Will be back to try other items.
Great service, large portions of fried chicken. Appetizers were all delicious. Favorites were the Appalachian pork, goat cheese grits and banana pudding.
Amazing food, service, cocktails AND BISCUITS! All sustainable and as locally sourced as feasible. The honey is to die for! I had a sweet (honey) and spicy (siracha) fried chicken with homemade pickles and roasted veggies. Menu changes seasonally. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner available.
This restaurant was recommended by someone we met in the library downtown. We were told it was a fun, child friendly place. The menu was different, but still familiar. I absolutely loved the banana pudding french toast! I would eat it again for sure! The tomato soup was very spicy, but good. The child's pasta dish was overpriced and just pasta with parmesan cheese. My child ate it but I think it was $6 and there was a puddle of water in the bottom of the dish. The atmosphere was great, we were there on a Thursday, early dinner time. We ate outside and the weather was perfect and we enjoyed the flowers and decor. I would recommend this restaurant for sure.
The food was OUTSTANDING. Our server seemed a bit distracted, took a while to get to us, but we may have caught the tail-end of his Sunday brunch rush. He was really sweet and his coworkers pitched in to help once we got seated and rolling. I was thrilled with my food choice, the fried chicken was spiced well and moist, and the gravy was peppery and delicious, the biscuits were obviously handmade and absolutely amazing. Even the appetizer biscuits we received were so good we asked for a second order! And parking was easy, even on a busy Sunday afternoon!
Going to tupelo honey for the first time was quite the experience. When walking in, your greeted by a few friendly faces that will help you get situated. After sitting down and ordering, the bring you THE best drop biscuits you will have . Big, dense, flavorful biscuits. Give me a whole plate of that!
We had 8 in our party and most of us ordered the chicken and biscuits. I have to say, the gravy on the biscuits was not great, i preferred it without. I also asked for it the way it came, everyone else wanted bacon instead of ham and mine came out with bacon. Its fine, but would have preferred ham. The fried chicken was wonderful
Wish we had gotten dessert, will have to go back a second time to try more stuff. Really enjoyed it.
Hubby and I decided to try this place for Mother's Day - so glad we did! The wait was worth it, even with our 8 month old. Our server was fantastic - she gave us great food recommendations and loved on our sweet boy every time she came to the table. Very attentive! And the food. Y'all. I can't even give you words, you just need to go. Definitely the best brunch we've had since moving to NC! It was a beautiful spring day, so we enjoyed our meal on the lovely patio. Very relaxing!
