I recently visited Tupelo Honey and unfortunately did not have a good experience. Our food was initially taken to the wrong table, which caused a significant delay in us receiving our meals. While they attempted to make it right, the situation was already frustrating due to the wait. On top of that, the receipt showed we were charged for two farmhouse breakfast platters and two Asheville hot chicken & ranch melts, even though we only ordered one of each. The extra items should have never been on the bill in the first place, and instead of correcting it properly, the receipt reflects confusing adjustments that make it hard to clearly see what was actually charged. Between the delay, order mix-up, and lack of clarity with the billing, the overall experience fell short. Definitely recommend double-checking your receipt before leaving. read more

Bright and clean interior with clean bathrooms. The music playing was delightful low. Staff from the host station to the servers were friendly. Service was slow and yes it was hoppin' but I think some of it was my inexperienced waiter. The food was GOOD!!! Crispy, thick sliced, fried green tomatoes over goat cheese grits, red pepper coulis (YUM) and fresh basil, $10. The biscuits & gravy had 3 big crumbly biscuits and good gravy. Not nearly enough gravy for the biscuits. 2 small eggs cooked exactly as requested, $14. I noticed seasonal dishes on the website but didn't see them advertised anywhere else after I sat down. Lots of chicken options. The dessert options looked good, but I was stuffed. Parking for this restaurant and the surrounding area was pay to park via an app, no meters. That's the only reason I would likely not go back - just a personal preference. read more

Wow - what a wonderful evening out with my wife at Tupelo Honey! It was great food and even better service in a comfortable setting. They had a "2 For $22" menu special that we decided to order from. We both had the chicken tenders. As a side, my wife had the Brussel Sprouts and I had the Parmesan & Rosemary Fries. Additionally we had their spiked lemonade and homemade biscuits to boot. Everything was cooked to perfection, delicious, and we had food left over to bring home. Our waitress was absolutely fantastic. She was not only attentive, but also very pleasant to chat with, and made us feel welcome. She also offered recommendations when requested. We will definitely visit Tupelo Honey again in the future. read more

We arrived for brunch and everything was really good. We were asked if we had reservations, luckily we didn't need them for the lunch, rush, but I would recommend reservations. We loved our server Matyas he was patient and kind and very helpful. I ordered the farmhouse breakfast and grits, which was the cream cheesiest grits I've had in a very long time. I requested sage plant based sausage, eggs scrambled hard, The grits didn't include goat cheese. I also had a biscuit. My one issue with the biscuit was I wasn't given anything to put on the biscuit. I wish I had been given some jam or jelly or butter, it was still really good though. I ordered an ice dirty chai, which had a little bit of a spicy kick to it and I loved it. I also enjoyed a margarita and water. My friend ordered fried pickles. They were pretty good. They are best eaten hot. read more

Wow! I can't believe I've let this review fall by the wayside. So, I've been here a few times, from the time they first opened to a few times afterwards. I love the aesthetics. It's a pretty open space, and you can pretty much find a seat and make reservations online if need be. The staff seems to be pretty pleasant and kind throughout my visits. I came to share about my most recent experience, which was a lunchtime visit. We were seated right away. I ordered the chicken and gravy with a side of grits with shredded cheese and brussel sprouts. The chicken was delicious, and actually I got the gravy on the side, but it was pretty good as well. It had some flavor. The grits were really good. In addition to the shredded cheese, the grits come with goat cheese. It was a great creamy cheesy addition. The brussel sprouts are literally amazing. They are perfectly cooked and flavorful as well. The entire meal was on point. read more

Really enjoyed my food Tupelo honey. The dusted fried chicken had great flavor, the goat cheese grits were delicious, and the Brussels sprouts were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I loved their take on cheese grits. The goat cheese added a creaminess and flavor that was unique. The chicken was nice and crispy too. Definitely look forward to coming back here. Staff was friendly and it's in a trendy upcoming area that I'm sure will be buzzing more once the weather warms up. I would love to try another dish! read more

Our server, Savannah, was very nice and knowledgeable. She did a good job. The my were not very busy when we visited it's a cool spot. Decent size. Cool vibes. I got the half bird bone in chicken with fried okra and green beans. My daughter got chicken and waffles. We had fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. The grits and sauce with the tomatoes was good. Best part of the meal. My chicken... no wait I'll go from bottom to top. Green beans had bacon in them with no hint of bacon flavor. I wouldn't recommend. The fried okra was ok. Not real flavorful but crunchy which I liked. My chicken was mid. Very mid. I wasn't pleased. I got a sweet spiced sauce with the meal and that good on the chicken but without it, it's a no for me. My daughter said her chicken and waffles was just ok. Over all we probably wouldn't come back here. It was horrible but the food wasn't very tasty. read more

The hostess working 8/9 for Sunday brunch was rude and didn't smile then had an attitude about us not having a reservation even though we were willing to sit outside. Not a very nice welcome for the first face you see walking in. Been here many times with and without reservations and have enjoyed it. 3 stars because our waiter was very nice. I would not keep that hostess girl though. read more

Took advantage of the free 2 hour parking in the parking garage nearby. Tupelo has such a cute vibe, very cozy and warm inside. The host was welcoming and polite. Our server was phenomenal & very knowledgeable on menu items. I ordered the shrimp and grits and it literally blew me away it was so good! My partner got the sweet & spicy chicken & waffles. He finished his entire plate in all of about five minutes we will definitely be back! read more

Tupelo Honey - Shrimp and Tupelo's Shrimp & Grits (GF) Sweet & Spicy Chicken & Waffles Fried Okra - Southern Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Food is super tasty and flavorful ! Service is speedy . Cute place for lunch or dinner would come back

Service, ambience and food were all great! This was my first visit to the Columbia location but it did not disappoint. The sriracha chicken and waffles was a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. The chicken breast was most and the waffle was fluffy and fresh. I also had the fried green tomatoes. Panko-crusted fried green tomatoes over creamy stone-ground goat cheese grits and red pepper coulis, topped with fresh basil. One slice was firmer than I'd like but they are green tomatoes so they aren't normally soft. My son and sister have the chicken BLT and fries. My son raved about his sandwich. He took it to go and even later he said it was an awesome sandwich. Presentation was very appealing but the color on my photos is dark because of the yellow awning we sat under so I won't post pics. read more

Met a friend there for lunch yesterday and had a very good experience. I had one of the featured spring salads with salmon (as well as a side of fried okra), and my friend had a chicken sandwich. Both were great: well prepared, tasty, fresh ingredients, etc.. JJ was our server, and she was excellent -- friendly, attentive, anticipated our needs and took care of refills before we needed to ask for them, etc. It's a beautiful space with lots of natural light and attractive decor. I was excited to see they plan to open earlier during the week for breakfast service. (And, yes, it's a chain, but the original location is fairly close to us in NC.) read more

Super cute place. The staff told me everyone in the entire area staff and customers have to pay for parking so that was a hassle but I did find a spot. The menu is great. I had the cheese and soup and a healthy shot. It was all wonderful. My server was super kind and attentive. Reasonably priced for the surrounding location for diner. I would eat here again. They need to figure out a better parking solution but the restaurant itself is really cute and the menu is interesting. read more

Tupelo Honey delivered a good Southern-style dining experience with plenty of flavor and comfort. We tried the fried green tomatoes, chicken and waffles, collard greens, grits, mac and cheese, and breakfast potatoes, and overall the food was enjoyable and well prepared. For my sensitive palate, a few items leaned a bit spicier than expected, but nothing was overpowering--just something to note if you prefer milder flavors. The chicken and waffles were hearty and satisfying, and I really loved the concept and execution of the collard greens and grits--a creative, comforting combo that stood out. The sides were classic and filling, especially the mac and cheese and breakfast potatoes, rounding out the meal nicely. Overall, Tupelo Honey earns 4 stars for good food, bold flavors, and Southern creativity. read more

We dined here this week and had a party of 5. I made a reservation through Open Table for 6 PM, but that wasn't necessary. There were not many people- maybe 5 at the bar and there were 3 tables with patrons. Not a lot at all! Good news, We were promptly seated. We waited at a minimum 10 minutes to be greeted once seated. I can attest to this because my father arrived roughly 10 minutes after we were seated, if not later. drink order prior to So, likely we waited longer. This was not an ideal way to start our evening for a special celebration. Once our server greeted us and took our drink orders I was optimistic. She was friendly and kind, but not apologetic for the delay. Sadly they were out of meatloaf which is what two people in our party were hoping to order. No biggie, plenty of options. Our orders included:side salad (hold the onions!), smothered chicken, steak, kid's burger, fries, mac and cheese, roasted potatoes, biscuits. Our food was good and everyone seemed pleased. All in all, it started rough but ended better. I just can't get past the service aspect. For a place that had so few patrons during our visit it seems that we would be noticed. Additionally, for the price per meal I expect better... I would return, reluctantly, but our experience here was not as stellar as our experience in Greenville or Nashville. read more

Such a cute, lively place for brunch. The interior is beautiful, with lots of seating for guests. They also offer outdoor seating. The staff were amazing and friendly. Our server was so kind and informative about their menu. You have to try the biscuits!! They're so good and the jelly they come with is phenomenal. The sweet and spicy chicken and waffles looked and tasted amazing. Overall this place was a hit! I would only recommend they add an espresso machine read more

When we first arrived, we were greeted by two very friendly hosts. Once our party of 13 arrived Natalie got right to work with taking our orders. She was an amazing server. She was very attentive and efficient. The food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. We had fried green tomatoes, biscuits, and fried okra for our appetizers. Everything was really tasty and fresh. The peach and blueberry preserves with the biscuits were absolutely amazing. For my entrée, I had the breakfast platter, with waffles, bacon, eggs, and potatoes. It was delicious! My waffles were prepared perfectly. They were nice and fluffy. I especially loved the Peach Don't Kill My Vibe cocktail! It's so refreshing! All in all a great visit! read more

Haven't even eaten yet and the restaurant has exceeded expectations! We are traveling with a pet and while the restaurant is "pet friendly" due to a malfunctioning patio door it wasn't an option. The restaurant manager offered to allow us to order from the "to go" menu and eat on the patio. Our server Jessica, top tier! The restaurant made a family event special when circumstances outside of their control could have made the situation lackluster. Now let's try the food read more

Tupelo was a great choice for our team outing! The atmosphere was great and the decor, with all of their large windows was bright and airy. Our server (Ben) was exceptional with the right balance of table presence and attention to detail without being overbearing. The entire staff for that matter was extremely kind and welcoming from the second we walked in the door. The food was amazing! Things are cooked to order and you can tell! I had the blackened mahi mahi with the creole butter and it was cooked perfectly. Mahi Mahi is tricky as it has a tendency to dry out and this one was cooked expertly. The brussels were cooked perfectly and were dusted with some amazing seasoning. The collards were good and smokey! I'm a sucker for pecan pie and whenever I see it on a menu I absolutely must get it. This definitely hit the mark! This place is definitely versatile. It would make a great casual date spot, you can come with a large or small group, or simply treat yourself because they have a nice bar area as well. read more

The food, service, and ambiance were amazing during my visit. My waitress was very kind, swift and accommodating. I ordered a huge biscuit and delicious tea for starters.

I look forward to coming here whenever I'm back in town. read more

A book club weekend and decided to try this spot. We sat at the bar due to an hour wait for seating. Paul was our bartender and made great suggestions for drinks. I had the fried chicken which was tasty but the side that I chose left me wishing I chose a different side. They were something like fries and roasted potatoes but not quite fulfilling. The location is in a trendy part of town and the ambiance was casual. read more

The sign of a well run restaurant is active management on the floor checking on customer satisfaction. Pair that with a gorgeous ambiance, amazing food, superlative service and you have a winning combination for the perfect dining experience. Creative menu, beautiful presentation that is always on point, servers that make sure your order is perfect and fresh and flights of champagne mimosas that are second to none and why this place rocks.... read more

My boyfriend went this morning & put in a to go order around 9/9:15am. The silly server told him at 9:30 it would be coming soo. My boyfriend had to wait a WHOLE HOUR because the staff can not communicate well. The server put the order in for 2pm instead of Tog! The manager was horrible did nothing but offer a drink. Everyone came out to my boyfriend telling him the food was almost done knowing the order was put in wrong it was never coming! The staff needs to work on communication. They also need to train their staff on how to put in orders cause obviously they need help. Worse experience we've had with them probably won't be back for a while. They need to tighten up. read more

Had an enjoyable lunch at this new TH location. We were seated in time with our reservation and the hostesses were friendly. The waiting area is only one small bench, so that isn't the best for such a busy brunch spot. Our waitress was also great. She was attentive and quick with whatever we needed. I ordered the chicken tenders and they were very good. They were very tender and still juicy. They came with a flight of 3 sauces. I highly recommend the firecracker sauce. Portions were very good. As a side I got the crispy potatoes. Those, I disliked. Too much skin and too much crunch. There wasn't a lot of potato worth eating. I also ordered a blueberry lemon mimosa. That was delicious. The place was busy and packed but overall food came out quickly. Lots of families with kids and the hustle and bustle of noise. The biscuits fell apart when cut but who cares. With the Jan and butter they were perfect. They have outdoor seating but it was so windy there were no takers. read more

Decided to come back for lunch here since I truly enjoyed the Yelp event that I came to and then they also sent me an $20 off coupon a 40 for my birthday. Upon entry service was great we were greeted properly and taken into a table, fried tomatoes, sweet potato biscuits, I attempted to order chicken salad off the lunch menu but they were out so I said hope for a cup of lime chicken soup and we also got a salad. Everything was absolutely amazing. Green tomatoes were so delicious that I could possibly see myself even ordering those as an entrée, perfectly with the grits to make a tasty bite. Visiting I'd recommend that you utilize the garage is much quicker than trying to park on the street and is free. I love the ambience of this location is always I'll definitely be back. read more

We went here or Lunch yesterday. Had reservations for 11:30 and got right in. It wasn't crowded like the last time we'd been. Waitress took our drink orders immediately and we ordered the lunch specials. I ordered a half Ashville Hot Chicken sandwich and a bowl of Chicken Poblano soup. My wife oredered a salad with salmon. Our friends ordered a chicken sandwich and also a half avocado melt and Chicken Poblano soup along with a side of Brussel sprouts. My chicken sandwich was excellent. Moist and tender and not hot at all (which sort of surprised me). The soup was also great. My wife's salmon and salad were great. Everyone liked their meal. It was our friend's birthday so she had a $20 birthday coupon fro Tupelo Honey's and they also gave her a complimentary banana pudding for dessert, which looked excellent. Great meal, service, and atmosphere. read more
