    I am a huge fan of the food here. The biscuits are some of the best I have ever eaten. All of the food seems to be well seasoned and flavorful. I really enjoy the Brussels sprouts and the healthy ginger turmeric drink. Yum! I thought the coffee was ok. The potatoes that I got for my side were extra crispy as ordered but were really really salty. My eggs were good! The restaurant was clean and so were the bathrooms. Customer service was a mixed bag. Our server was friendly but a little bit distracted having forgot our biscuits and coffee refills. At the end of the meal he was nowhere to be found and then a new server said he got moved to a new table. Not a deal breaker but a little funky. I would gladly come back. Highly recommended.

    Ginger - Tumeric drink

    I was so excited to see that Gainesville had a Tupelo Honey as the one in Atlanta had closed, so we made the 1 hour trip to Gainesville, but I was utterly disappointed with the food. We ordered omelets, no meat, but meat ended up in my omelette, so they remade it and the remake was not good, the sauce was mayonnaise base that did not work well with the eggs, undercooked tomatoes and thick airy grits did not make matters any better. I left still hungry. On the brighter side, the service was great, the hostess was absolutely amazing and the restaurant is beautiful. We liked the potatoes, and the turmeric shots were made perfectly and even though the apple butter was amazing, the biscuits were not. Will I take this drive again???? NO -lol

    Tenders comes with 4 pieces - forgot a pic before we dug in

    Such a cute spot! Loved the vibe. Staff were on it even with it being between meal times. Hubby and I came for snacks + drinks then decided to do early dinner after all! We tried several from the spring cocktail menu. Loved every single cocktail! Had the Brussels sprouts then shared the chicken tenders + butter pecan cheesecake. Can I just say how insane the Mac + cheese was?! Creamy with a light sweetness at the end. Cannot wait to come back!

    Farmhouse Breakfast Platter

    How a real nice lunch here as we were in the Gainesville area. We had eaten in their Asheville location before. We were seated right away. Ordered our drinks and the fried okra starter. It came out with a spicy Alabama sauce that was great to dip the okra into. I ordered the farmhouse breakfast platter, my wife the Cobb salad, and my BIL the half chicken salad sandwich with Brussels sprouts as his side. My breakfast was great. Two eggs perfectly cooked, potatoes, and bacon. It came with toast and they brought a wonderful blueberry jam. My wife loved her salad with the fried chicken breast. The chicken salad was good along with the sprouts. This location is new and very nice.

    Shrimp and grits

    The food here is delicious. The biscuits alone are enough reason to come. On my last visit here, I had a biscuit, fried green tomatoes, and shrimp and grits. Everything was perfectly seasoned, cooked, and tasted exquisite. I will definitely be back.

    Chicken & Mac and Cheese

    Just opened in Gainesville. They are super busy so give them time to work out the kinks!! Food was good, hot and flavorful! Staff is nice and attentive. Host was quick to greet us and we did book a reservation for their opening day. Chicken and waffles were great, biscuits were mid but we did not enjoy the flavor profile of the Mac & Cheese (just preference). Modern southern vibe with elevated flare!

    We were craving chicken tenders so we decided to stop in While on our way from Helen GA to Commerce. We were not really blown away but the service was good and the food was decent. Overall the vibe of the place is very nice just not a place I would come back to.

    Cute restaurant and good food! We were sat right away they have lots of seating. We got the breakfast plate. The grits are made with goat cheese and have a creamy rich flavor. The eggs were cooked perfectly as well as the bacon. I love their "Bless your heart" glasses!

    Location and service was great. Very nice looking building with a lot of character. But unfortunately the food was not as good as it looks i'm not gonna go into any great detail. But if you're looking for awesome flavors. This is not it. I'm willing to give it another try maybe for lunch or dinner. But breakfast and brunch I'm done with that.

    Gainesville brunch run -- Tupelo Honey They start you off with warm biscuits, butter, jelly, and honey... and honestly, I could've just kept eating that basket. Then came the good stuff: The Mountain Morning Bowl with eggs, potatoes, bacon, salsa, and grits. The Avocado Toast & Eggs with feta and a little kick from that sriracha honey (a bit too many onions in my opinion... but my wife liked it). And yeah... had to try the Chicken & Waffles too. Crispy, juicy, sweet, and just right. Drinks were on point, the service was great, and the whole place has a cozy vibe that makes it perfect for a weekend brunch. If you're tired of the same usual spots, this one is worth checking out. #RolieEats #FoodUnites #GoodEats #BrunchGoals #GainesvilleGA

    Lovely new brunch location with excellent service! The drinks were a little slow coming out but were made perfectly! I wasn't digging any of the drinks on the menu so my server suggested a blueberry lemonade with Tito's which was perfect. My only complaint was that they charged me the same price for the tall one & short one & had I known that I would of just gotten another tall one. The chicken & waffles were delicious (although we only saw butter on the center waffle). Our friends enjoyed their food & drinks as well. We wished the "kiss my grits" photo opp wasn't at the entrance because its hard to get a picture due to poor lighting and everyone coming in & out of the door. They have a huge outdoor patio that we can't wait to check out on a cooler day. The inside was spacious with nice decor and we loved the "bless your heart" water cups!

    I order the loco moco breakfast bowl, it was at 0700, so they had just opened. The young lady said…read moreit would take 10 minutes to make the gravy and asked if that was okay. I said sure, as long as I was walking out with my food at 0715, that would be fine. I am so happy I did, people the flavor of this bowl was outstanding. Highly recommend!!! I also got the glazed donut thing, good lord, delicious pillowy. Service- 10 Food-10 The dining area was adorable!!! Ignore the poo reviews and try it yourself.

    Our first visit was amazing. My husband ordered this pork bowl with cilantro, onion, and rice. I…read moreorder the Korean bbq steak sliders and a few pineapple and coconut mochi donuts. Wait time wasn't too terrible. We spent 75 dollars with items mentioned above and two ham n cheese sliders for the kids. I'd say don't bother with the fries, we ate here twice and each time, the fries were stale and luke warm. The environment is cool, clean, colorful, and plenty of seating. Don't go on a Sunday afternoon due to it being super filled with people. Second visit wasn't well. The lady at the counter didn't receive my order correctly, my husband had his meal and ate it before they corrected mine.(roughly 20 min) They have a partial refund which is fine. We will be taking a break for a while. The worker that took my order didn't seem happy and had quite an attitude. The manager came to fix it right away.
