Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar

Absolutely delighted with my experience at Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen and Bar! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm, Southern hospitality.
The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual lunch or a relaxed brunch. The Mac & Cheese waffle was to die for —crispy on the outside, cheesy and comforting on the inside.
It’s a must-try for anyone who loves a creative twist on classic comfort food. For drinks, I opted for the margarita flight.
Each margarita was unique and refreshing, offering a perfect balance of flavors that paired wonderfully with my meal. This Gem has quickly become one of my favorite spots, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Southern cuisine with a modern twist!

I recently dined at Tupelo Honey and had an incredible experience that left me thoroughly impressed.
As someone born and raised in Louisiana, I have high standards when it comes to Southern cuisine, and Tupelo Honey did not disappoint. I started with the Sausage and Beer Gumbo, which was a flavorful and hearty introduction to the meal.
The gumbo had just the right balance of spices and richness, making it as good, if not better, than what I’d expect from a local Louisiana restaurant. For the main course, I chose the Smothered Chicken.
This dish featured boneless and skinless honey-dusted fried chicken thighs, topped with milk gravy and basil.
The chicken was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
The combination of the honey dust and milk gravy created a unique and delicious flavor profile that I absolutely loved. My sides were the red beans and rice and their super awesome baked mac and cheese.
The red beans and rice were exceptional, with a depth of flavor that transported me back to my favorite Louisiana spots.
The baked mac and cheese was a delightful comfort food, creamy and cheesy with a satisfying baked crust. Overall, every dish I tried was really good, and I was particularly impressed by how well they captured the essence of Louisiana cuisine.
This was freaking awesome, and I loved every moment of my meal at Tupelo Honey.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic and delicious Southern food!

Owner response

Tupelo Honey was a great choice for a birthday lunch.
We had the fried green tomatoes on grits! Wow.
We also had the fried chicken sandwich and grilled chicken BLT.
For dessert we chose the banana pudding.
Service was great! Tea satisfied our thirst after hiking at Chickamauga all day.
We’ll be back.
I’d like to revisit the biscuits and jam they used to serve.
