tupelo honey cafe

enjoyed agreatnight at tupelo honey! the food was excellent and perfectly proportioned. the ambience and environment helped set the mood and make it a very enjoyable dining experience. well worth the price and can't wait to go back soon.
p.s. the homemade banana pudding is a must!

tupelo honey wasgreatfor brunch! the new staff and new menu has greatly improved the restaurant. i had the sweet potato pancakes! delicious.

fun dinner.greatnight for a small birthday dinner. short wait of 15 minutes at 7:30 on a saturday night. 4 of us had the shrimp and grits, and one having the special bone in pork chop, and we shared fried okra and fried green tomatoes. not a bad taste or word about this place. although my wife is sensitive about heat, the shrimp and grits have a lingering heat without setting you on fire. the service was very nice and we'll timed. i do believe the grits were awesome as i ate the leftovers with a fried egg this morning.

its ok... not "blowing my mind" good. so, this place came to town with agreatreputation in a food city (asheville). i have been here now three times, and each time i expect it to be amazing. each time, it has just been ok. better than average but not mind-blowing. i am left feeling disappointed. it is still a good meal. its just that it suffers from too high of expectations that it doesn't quite meet. oh well. i'll likely eat here again... like it... but not be amazed by it.

awesome.greatatmosphere. good food. will return when it is warm enough to eat outside.

charming atmosphere withgreatservice and delicious food. we went on sunday morning for breakfast and it was busy (as expected for a beautiful weekend), but we only waited 5 minutes and had coffee in our hands soon after. the food was delicious and did not take too long. i would recommend!

what a gem!.greatspot to enjoy breakfast/brunch -- and linger! omelets weregreat- inventive ingredients, perfectly cooked. maple bacon is pretty amazing. the biscuits and blueberry jam that they make in house daily was terrific! fun spot, attentive service.greatatmosphere.

great experience!. we were greeted most pleasantly by the hostess who immediately seated us in the bar area. kloe, our server, was the "bomb". her recommendations were spot on. i must commend the chef, the food was very flavorful. even though the food prep took longer than some of the chain establishments, it was agreattrade off for the freshness and quality of food. we will definitely return to experience more of the diverse menu.

some good parts, some meh. our group of 8 girls tried out the new location of the tupelo honey cafe in chattanooga, tn last night. for some reason, i thought it wouldn't be as classy as it is, it's really a very nice place, and while it has a laid back vibe, it's attached to a very posh boutique shopping mall. inside, the tables aren't too close together and the noise level is low,greatfor talking. they also have these upholstered chairs and a short bar right by the kitchen if you want to be near the action. be prepared to wait before you can see any of this however; after being told it was a 45-minute wait at 6:15, we waited a little over an hour for a table large enough, but then things really cleared out about 8:00. you can reserve a table ahead of time, but only for parties of 10 or more (and i was thinking around 7:30 that maybe we should have done that.)

our server was kind and even took the time to take a picture of us all. and the long-awaited biscuits were as good as advertised. they come with some tupelo honey and one of their branded jams, which i think was blueberry. these come complementary to the table as the bread service. i ordered a garlic chicken dish and was much more enthralled with my sides than the chicken. while the peach bourbon sauce was tasty, the chicken itself was kind of tasteless. there were three small palm-size filets and i ate 1 & 1/2 of them. the mac & cheese however was decadent and the asparagus with swiss chard had agreatcrisp bright taste. on other plates, the fried okra was above average, the home fries off the breakfast menu (served all day) were amazing, and there were reports of good bacon, nutty fried chicken and shrimp & grits from other quarters.

i would love to come back and try other dishes--a trout with capers and some shrimp tacos sounded good. it would be agreatplace to visit and try out their extensive drink menu and some appetizers, and our waiter almost had us tempted with offers of root beer, cheerwine or nehi floats, and i'd bet they do a decent pecan pie and banana pudding as well, which were also options.
