    We decided to try Tupelo's because of Restaurant Week July 2026. We unfortunately couldn't order off the restaurant week menu because they only offered it for dinner and we came for lunch. But they had an offer of 2 for $22. My husband got the smash burger (two patties with the fixings on a potato roll) with Mac and cheese. I originally wanted the pulled pork. Unfortunately their distributor was unable to provide it. Kristen, more about her in a second, was so apologitic, gave us biscuits with real butter and blueberries and honey as an appetizer to make up for not having the pulled pork. I ordered their chicken tenders with crispy brussel sprouts. The chicken tenders were hand breaded white meat. They were tender and juicy and not greasy. I choose a spicy ranch dipping sauce. It wasn't too spicy. The crispy brussel sprouts were delicious. I could have made a meal out of them. They were nice and crispy on the outside while soft inside. Not greasy and stayed hot (temperature) for a while. There was a sauce that came with it and I dipped each one into it. We shared Banana pudding. It was nice and creamy with big chunks of banana, vanilla wafer cookies and whipped cream. Everything was delicious! Kristen was a wonderful server. She was intuitive and had the best customer service. She was also training a lovely woman. Parking is plentiful. There is street parking and a free garage which is a short walk away. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. We chose outside since it was a beautiful day. Kristen was wonderful. I thanked her for wonderful first experience and she gifted us with a coupon to come back for lunch. We will be having lunch here in the near future to try some of the other menu options.

    This was my first time visiting this restaurant. I and my daughter went at about 10:30 on Sunday before it got busy/ but it didn't take long for the place to fill up and people having to wait. Their menu was full of Southern/leaning dishes, all of which looked good. I got shrimp and grits, one of my favorite dishes ever, and my daughter got a sweet potato pancake with some kind of sauce and berries. She said it was delicious and shrimp and grits were perfect! It was her birthday so she got to choose a daddy of her liking. She chose banana pudding and it was delicious! Our waiter, Brian, was so good- attentive, efficient and super friendly. I wouldn't say there was a lot of ambience, but it was a welcoming place. There is plenty of parking- across the street in the lot used by those who shop at the many stores there and I think there's more parking around the corner. I enjoyed my meal and the restaurant itself. Five stars.

    First time here. All you need to know is ask for Dana's section. She is amazing and so professional. Shoots straight. Has excellent suggestions and that smile will win you over. Get the biscuit appetizer and order drinks. Sit back and people watch. Then order dinner and another round of drinks. Dinner will arrive and you will forget about EVERYTHING else. Chow down. Dana will check back with you. Your mouth will be full. Just smile. When the bill comes make sure you take care of Dana. Really well.

    Good time at brunch today!! It was busy but our waitress was on top of it!! Really good food too

    Wonderful space with hearty tasty dishes and an inviting space. My coworker and I kept talking about the design of the walls and bar area. Dream home vibes! I highly encourage ordering biscuits to share and their dirty chai is a great way to wash down the cozy meal. The space is big enough to take a group, and there's an outdoor patio that looks lovely. Street parking is available and accessible. Will be back again for sure!

    Fried Green Tomatoes*

    The food was amazing. Service was also great. The vibe is fun. Very much in service to southern food and culture. Came here for brunch with the family. My mom is from North Carolina so I deferred to her opinion. Drinks: Iced Chai was great. The creamy oat milk mixed with Chai tea had just the right amount of spice. Bloody Mary came with an entire piece of bacon Okra and fried green tomatoes were perfectly crispy. Not mushy at all. I will say the sauce for the Okra has a kick to it. The Chicken in the Chicken & Waffles (plain) was very crispy and the waffles were not too dry. Covered with a dash of powdered sugar and maple syrup for just the right amount of food.

    Very nice ambiance's, low lighting and plenty of seating as well as seating outside. I tried the Shrimp and Grits which was okay. The Tomato soup was good and for dessert we had the banana pudding, very good. Our server G was definitely on point!!!!! I enjoyed the whiskey tasing too especially the ginger one. Good!!!!

    I absolutely love their happy hour! The food, the ambiance and the service is great. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThdqxeGv/

    Morning glory bowl
    Charis W.

    Gorgeous interior and great service, but the food was just okay and not up to the value of what you're paying for it. Ordered the morning glory bowl which was a grits bowl with eggs, bacon, potatoes, and red pepper sauce. It was pretty greasy and salty. I think I would have to try some other things on the menu to give this place the fairest assessment, but I unfortunately was not that impressed.

    Classic Chicken* & Waffles
    Leah R.

    Wet yummy! Slow service sometimes but good food. Chicken for sure and the tomato app was amazing. Great feel to the place.

    Art D.

    Yes I would recommend. We visited for brunch and had a great experience. There were no issues with seating and the service was very good. I had the chicken and waffle which is their signature along with meatloaf. I also tried the meatloaf and it was good just as the chicken and waffle. The service was good timely and friendly. We had food beverages and a good time. Overall great experience and great time. I will visit again. Also parking is not an issue there is a garage behind the restaurant.

    Cereal martini
    Anna K.

    My favorite restaurant in Columbus so far! The food was spectacular, I had absolutely no complaints about my meal! We were all pleased with our drinks as well (highly recommend the espresso martini if you like it on the more chocolatey side!). Everything was so flavorful. Our waitress was so sweet, and it was her first day off training. We all agreed that she did an amazing job! I loved the plant decor on the ceiling as well as the lighting. Great for big party tables, like graduation family dinners or a bachelorette weekend dinner like we did!

    Katie N.

    Another great happy hour and the bartender Marley knocked it out of the park. Incredible espresso martini and a fall flavored old fashioned. We shared some Brussels sprouts that were so yummy too.

    Where is the best place to park?

    There's a garage close by and they validate parking ticket so bring it in with you and there's street parking as well.

    When is happy hour during the week? I did not see this posted on their webpage.

    Happy Hour is Monday through Friday from 3-6!

    Do you need reservations or can you get seated as a walk in?

    I would highly suggest making a reservation, especially if during peak hours. The tables seat 4 (probably could be pushed together for a larger group). We tried a reservation for 5 and there weren't any for the entire Saturday but we dropped it to 3… 

    What are the gluten free options? It says on the bottom of the menu that there are options available but none are marked?

    Shrimp and Grits, Cast Iron Pork, Blackened Mahi Mahi, For The Love of Cobb, Lemon Garden Party are some gluten free main dishes, they also have gluten free bread that can be used substituted for some dishes! Goat cheese grits, mixed green salad,…

    Wings with Cheese?... Ok, I'm down for a good garlic parm wing, but WTF was this concoction. It was…read moreway better after removing all of the cheese. Way too much but the wings were edible... and that's where edibility ends! The tofu with peanut sauce sounded good to me, but I swear they took a whole block of tofu and cooked it as one piece. The exterior was bland which meant the inner depths of said tofu was even blander. How do you make peanut sauce bland? The drinks had to be good, right? After all, they're also a distillery with their own craft whiskey. Nope... Epic Fail on the blandest old fashioned in Ohio (I'm guessing). If they're trying to showcase their whiskey... maybe they shouldn't. Just really not a fan. Other Old Fashioned fans in the dining party weren't impressed either. The margarita wasn't much better either. What about a refreshing peach dessert? I'll give you 3 guesses and they all start with B! You guessed it, so flavorless and the pound cake was dry! It was even dry if you were calling it a biscuit. If you're going to serve this, then maybe a peachy sauce to cut through the dryness. Oh, the description promises that, but it did not deliver on those bourbon macerated peaches by any means. Even Bowser would send this peach back! TLDR: Bland food, Bland drinks, Dry Bland Cake, and Bland Drinks (a no-no for a distillery themed place). So many other great restaurants in Columbus, but this is a pass from me.

    A spot that will be missed!…read more Decided to go just before they were closing for good. Was able to split the Caesar salad, in which the dressing was more mellow and less acidic than typical Caesar dressing, but was accompanied with a charred lemon wedge to add however much acid your heart desires! The crispy potatoes albeit fried were extremely light, and the aioli complements well the shaved cheese placed on top. Then came the burger, with the fries being extremely crispy and perfectly seasoned. The burger was very good as well, but I could do without the mushrooms added. It is a wet burger as well due to the mornay instead of a typical slice of cheese that just sticks to the burger. Most importantly, the cocktails are FANTASTIC as always. A seasonal menu always gets created, with the staples of course always available, typically using their own products within.

    I went there after I read the yelp reviews. I'm from out of town. I was so ready for the prime rib…read morecap everyone was talking about. When I got there and looked over the menu it had changed. No prime rib cap the waiter didn't even know about it. So rather than leave I had the lamb chops and they were ok. I'm a big lamb eater and these were mediocre. No bread served had to order rolls on the side. For the price it wasn't a good restaurant for me. It's a nice place and you can have a conversation.

    I went here for my birthday and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was worth it…read more I ordered the steak, my boyfriend got the lobster ravioli, and we added salmon to the mix because why not go all in on a birthday dinner. Every single plate was hitting. The steak was cooked exactly how I asked, seasoned well, and actually had flavor all the way through. The lobster ravioli was rich but not heavy, and the salmon was flaky and done right, not dry at all. What really made it though was the service. They were attentive without hovering, kept the drinks coming, and made it feel like a special night without being extra about it. For a birthday dinner, that matters. If you're going, don't go playing small. Order what you actually want. It's one of those places where you lean into the experience and enjoy it. Solid food, great service, and a good spot for something worth celebrating.
