tupelo

it's funny that i am writing abouttupelo, a new restaurant in inman square, right after i wrote about clink ., because they are such different dining experiences. dining attupelois almost exactly the opposite of a dining experience at the liberty: tup

thanks to a killer groupon , derek and i were able to hit up brunch attupelo, a southern-tinged comfort food joint in inman square. not only had i been dying to check out this gem, but i also had a hankering for chicken and waffles that just wouldn't qu

a bucket of lonestars, please...tupelois a great place for every occasion. we never fail to impress out-of-towners with a meal here. the atmosphere is warm, quirky, and unpretentious. dine here a few times, and the friendly staff will make you feel like a regular (which you'll probably end up being). the menu changes seasonally, but generally includes many perfected southern fan favorites. among the best i've tried is the massive meatloaf, the pimento cheese, the frito pie, and the turkey meatballs. the rotating specials are also a special treat; although asian style pork belly with peanut slaw may not appear to be congruent with the rest of the restaurant's fare, it was one of the best dishes i've eaten all year. cheap date night is far and away the most satisfying way to navigate tupelo's generous portions. for 25 bucks, two can split fried grits, a gumbo, and a giant, delicious entree. polish it all off with a slice of petsi's pecan pie with some bourbon ice cream while sipping a hound dog- the king would definitely approve.

overalltupelois a homerun in my book. it’s moderately priced, delicious, and a great dining experience especially if you are a fan of down home traditional southern cooking! they also do a weekend brunch which is something i will be coming back for in the very near future.

we're always on the hunt for some good southern food. we love blue ribbon for its barbecue and really enjoy the more upscale hungry mother for it's french/southern fusion but last week, we decided to try outtupelobecause it served more than just southern barbecue and it seemed authentic; plus it got good reviews on by a few bloggers. the atmosphere of tupelo's is friendly. it has a bar up front as you walk in and then a dozen or so tables. we arrived pretty early (around 6pm) because they don't take reservations. judging on the crowd i don't think you'd have a problem finding a seat before 7:00 on a friday. our waiter was very attentive and friendly and excited about the menu (which is always a good sign). we decided to start off with some pimento cheese and saltine crackers, a classic southern dish, which was good but i've had better. for our entrees i had the daub of beef brisket ($19).

not even close. i'm a louisianian. i have triedtupelotwice now, once with a a fellow louisianian, and we both agree that while the beer selection is a great representation of la, the food is not. the search for a taste of home continues.

last night nick and i went totupeloover in inman square in cambridge (yes, we ventured across the bridge). nick used to live right around the corner so we have been totupeloat least a half a dozen times and loved it each time. so, when it came up on groupon last year, we bought three of them. however, since that time nick has moved in and getting to cambridge always seems more difficult. we had one groupon left to use before it expired at the end of february, so last night we went and remembered exactly why we love it so much! disclaimer for tupelo, though: you need to leave your diets at the door. you need to go in ready for a fat kid dinner, but really, you are going to enjoy every moment of it and it will all be worth it! most of the time there is a wait for a table, so we jumped on the two chairs at the bar, right next to elvis. hanging with elvis...who is wearing my ear muffs!tupelohas a great variety of beers, a lot that are authentic to the south, including abita and dixie

about a year ago , i made my first visit totupeloat inman square. i had a really wonderful dining experience and was especially impressed by the attentive service. this past friday, i made a return visit and was happy to find that the service and southe

great southern food up north. i'm from virginia, but the food attupelois better than anything i'd had in the south. it's flavorful, and authetnic, but has that extra boston touch of freshness in ingredients and ideas while not being too heavy (as southern can be). small, fun location and great staff, too.

a close cousin of barbecue is southern cuisine, and two much-talked-about proponents have sprung up in cambridge within the last year and a half. first came hungry mother near kendall square; this year's rookie istupelonear inman square. based on only o

who would have thought that fried grits could be so tasty? there is a new restaurant in inman square,tupelo, which provides southern cuisine. located on the site of the former magnolias ,tupelois owned by renee mcleod (of petsi pies fame) and mike wal
