Delicious chicken and waffles Quick service and fun atmosphere! Will come again

Excellent food!!!! Good service. Pecan chicken salad sandwich and house dressing delicious!

This is currently one of my favorite brunch spots, for two reasons: the food and drinks are delicious, and it's easy to coordinate a family/group outing here. More about the food: Tupelo Honey serves "Southern comfort food with a creative twist" (their words). This is not the place to go if you're looking for lite bites. This IS the place to go if you're looking for a hearty and mouthwatering meal. I've been here a few times and have sampled the fried green tomatoes, the garden harvest omelet, the chicken and waffles, and one sandwich (no longer available) that was clearly inspired by the Po Boy but was not a classic Po Boy (since it didn't include shrimp). It's all tasted phenomenal! Drink-wise, you won't be left wanting - Tupelo serves cocktails (some "standing" and some seasonal), mocktails, wine, beer, and a handful of coffee options. They're all absolutely delicious. I will say, the last time I dined here, I opted to go all in on the coffee. I started with an iced mocha, then had their 'not another espresso martini' with my meal. The mocha was one of the best I've ever had, full stop. Tupelo makes theirs with dark chocolate and oat milk, and as long as it's on their menu, I plan to order it again and again! Speaking of: I mentioned that it's easy to coordinate an outing here. Tupelo lets you make reservations directly through their website for parties of various sizes. I've dined here with a smaller group (immediate family) as well as with a larger group (a Meetup-style organization). Each time, Tupelo had a table waiting for us and we were welcomed by some of the nicest staff I've ever interacted with in a restaurant. I always tip well, partly because they've always been super attentive, but also because their humor and smiles put me in a better mood. This is definitely a team that's good at their jobs! This place is an easy 5 out of 5 for me. The only bummer is that there is no free parking near Tupelo, but the food is good enough that I'm willing to deal with that downside and come back again and again...hungry and ready for more! read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar. The atmosphere was a standout, super cool vibe with lots of plants and an open concept that made the space feel bright and inviting. It's the kind of place you can relax and actually enjoy your time. The food overall was good. The chicken had great flavor, though it was a little on the tougher side than expected. That said, the sweet tea absolutely made up for it, easily one of the best parts of the meal. Pricing felt fair for the quality and experience, which is always a plus. Overall, definitely worth checking out for the vibe alone, and I'd go back to try more on the menu. read more

Maybe service would've been better if I were a local, but "R" seemed to treat our table different from everyone else. He would often look away when he gave us something, wasn't so busy but oh well. Other servers seemed nicer, so maybe unlucky dice roll. Food was mixed. I liked the sides, but the main chicken was pretty lacking in their bee/honey seasoning, like maybe 1 tender out of all the chicken had the seasoning. Chicken was brined which probably saved it from being completely dry but it still wasn't particularly good. Too dry by how they cook it. Pretty burnt. Bought home food too unfortunately, their smothered chicken which was also overcooked and probably two pieces of 1/3 a breast. Their to go box was very misleading, lol. Ambiance was cool, nice looking place for taking pictures without the food. Went on a night during weekday. read more

The food here was really good. We had to wait a while for our drinks, but we may have thrown our server for a loop as we ordered our brunch cocktails and meals at the same time (6 adults and 1 child). Other than our long wait for the drinks, we would certainly return! read more

Enjoyed our lunch at Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar, Pittsburgh, PA location. The restaurant is next to Grand Concourse about 50 feet from the water. We tried the following: *Mimosa flight (4/5) stars. *I recommend ordering the Apple-achian Mimosa with apple & vanilla, cinnamon sugar rim get the MEGA (5/5) stars. *Biscuits for a cause with a side of butter and blueberry jam were delicious best when they are right out of the oven (4.8/5) stars. * Famous honey dusted fried chicken original (4/5) stars. I wished the breading had more seasoning. *I recommend the Famous honey dusted fried chicken the sweet and spicy option with sriracha honey glaze.. (5/5) stars so good!! *We ordered grilled chicken with side a Mac n cheese from the kids menu and will rate it (5/5) stars because our son ate it all!!lol Tupelo Honey has indoor and outdoor seating great place for large groups with beautiful decor.

I wanted to attend the Steelers v. Cleveland Browns game so we drove all the way from Charlotte, NC to attend our first Steelers game!!! We were starving and wanted something good and close by the stadium and stopped by this spot! We were able to make a reservation within minutes and once we arrived, were able to be seated within minutes. It was beautiful, all the black and yellow waiting for food and enjoying conversations. Our waitress Emma was so sweet and ensured that we had everything we needed! I ordered the steak, eggs, crispy potatoes, but I wanted the grits also and she helped me make a great decision in ordering them also. My husband had the Chicken and Waffles and the sauce that came with it was amazing! Everything was great and when we return for another game, we are definitely visiting again! read more

Brought a group of 12 in for a work lunch, which everyone enjoyed and several locals commented that they would be back. The biscuits were delicious and are pretty much a must get appetizer. The chicken tenders will a little overcooked and the Brussels sprouts were so good, service was excellent! I forgot photos...ooops! read more

First time I've been to a Tupelo and ironically we left the south to have it on vacation! Aside of the sign at the door lying to use the wrong door to get in, it was a good experience! Place was clean and aesthetically pleasing with a nicely lit bar, service was friendly and mostly fast; fast enough we were able to catch our boat ride in time. Prices were expensive, but the refills were free for the lemonade. Food was overall excellent. I thought the fried chicken was delicious and perfectly crunchy, and the honey dusting was such a nice addition! My daughter enjoyed her burger so much I didn't get to taste it! read more

We had the BEST brunch here after taking the Monongahela Incline--it's right at the bottom, so it's perfect for grabbing a bite before or after seeing the amazing view of Pittsburg from above! First of all, a huge shoutout to our waiter Jason--he was incredibly attentive, super friendly, and had awesome recommendations. 10/10! We started with the award-winning biscuit. It comes with blueberry jam, honey, and butter--absolutely delicious. For our mains, we tried the chicken & biscuits, shrimp & grits, mac & cheese, and chicken & waffles. Every dish was full of flavor and felt like the perfect southern comfort food feast. And don't miss out on the mimosa flight--four different flavors, all refreshing and tasty. If you're looking for a hearty, satisfying southern meal with great service in a fun location, this spot is a must-visit. Will definitely be back! read more

We went to a location in the southern states and we were pleasantly surprised to see this one in Pittsburgh! Even as a franchise, Tupelo Honey delivers a great southern comfort meal. We had the fried green tomatoes, shrimp with cheesy grits, crispy chicken baked mac wirh waffles, hot honey chicken with waffles. We had 2 little kids with us and they ordered from the kids menu- chicken tenders with fries ( not your average chicken tenders- it's the same batter as their fried chicken-- really good!) and buttered pasta with Parmesan. Good price points for kids menu. The chicken was crisp and moist and so flavorful. Batter to meat ratio was good, mac and cheese was cheesy, shrimp and grits was 100/10. Sweet tea. Matcha lemonade was good, peach lemonade was too tart but doable when watered / iced down. Restrooms are clean and spacious, interior is clean and pretty, outdoor and indoor seating. Pay per parking, a small view of the river, quiet location. Service is friendly and fast. Would highly recommend! read more

When I knew I was heading back to my old stomping grounds of Pittsburgh, I put out a request from my friends that still live there on what was new, at least to me, and delicious. What kept coming up was this place. Just so happened that we were staying in Station Square and guaranteed me a visit. It has been about two years since I moved out of the area and I am happy to see that there is some revitalization in the area. Not as vibrant as it once was, but there is movement in the right direction. Tupelo takes up a good size chunk of space near the Smithfield Street Bridge, directly across from the Grand Concourse. They really made this space feel very welcoming. It's bright, vibrant, with a warm homey dining room feel. We came here on a Sunday evening, not very busy at all, which guaranteed us quick access to a table with menus in hand. Our server was outstanding. He delivered throughout our whole experience here. I'll touch on that throughout the rest of this review. I peeked at the menu before showing up so I had somewhat of an idea of what I might want. But it didn't hurt to look over the menu again when we showed up. Even though I had that peek I still wanted to get our server's opinion. He was very honest with what was on the menu and after we had asked about our entree we asked about the appetizers as well. With his input, our decision was solidified. But first, let's talk about the sweet tea. It was refreshing and free flowing. I absolutely loved the glasses the drinks were served in and kept commenting on them the whole time. I know they had some for purchase at the front, but they one I wanted, "Bless Your Heart" wasn't available. However, our server made sure we left with one at the end of the meal. See, he really was outstanding. Onto the food, for starters I went with the Fried Pickles. I'm always a fan of fried pickles and will give them a try anytime I see them on a menu. Their take on them are of the chip variety. They come served with a garlic buttermilk ranch, basically a spicy ranch that mixes well with the tang of the pickles. My friend and I shared these while waiting for our food to show up. We ended up getting the same thing with different variations on the sides. We went with Bourbon Peppercorn Glazed Meatloaf. For my sides I went with mac and cheese and rosemary and Parmesan crispy potatoes. You can tell that the meatloaf in scratch-made as the menu describes. It's a mixture of beef and chorizo and that glaze, bourbon and peppercorn, was just what this needed. It was so moist and if done right, each bite could be smothered in that glaze and then you might even have some leftover to scrape up with your sides. The mac and cheese, amazing, I sat there scraping the bottom in hopes that more may materialize. Then the potatoes were another amazing side. Nice and crisp, the Parmesan gives it just the right amount of salty and crunch. Such a satisfying meal and one I hope to enjoy again on any trip back to the Burgh. There is one thing that I wish I would have done while here. That was to order their Biscuits for a Cause. Just a simple order of two biscuits with blueberry jam and whipped butter. I just didn't have room for more food, and I didn't want to take them back to my room and forget about them and they go to waste. When you order this the proceeds go towards a fund they have in place. Usually it goes towards employees in need, but I believe that when I visited the proceeds were going to hurricane relief. Please, if you live in the area, or plan to visit, you must dine here. It will be worth any hassle you feel you took to get here. You will be happy you did. read more

Good food with variety. Some pescatarian options. Nice and chill environment and staff.

Absolutely love loved!! You must try the iced mocha, it was amazing. The biscuits with peach jam were delicious.

Great breakfast! Took a while to get seated on a busy Sunday morning but we loved our meals. I ordered steak and eggs, medium and eggs over easy. Both were a touch overcooked but not a big deal. I really liked the grits which I didn't expect. We would definitely be back! read more

Besides the fact that this place is delicious, beautiful, clean and friendly, their weekday happy hour prices are out of this world. Kid meals for $3...are you kidding me?! We went back two days in a row because my daughter insisted on getting the sweet potato pancakes again and I was not about to say no. I indulged in the same crispy Brussels sprout, fried pickles (with a bomb dipping sauce) and the cast iron pimento cheese queso appetizers, also for around $6 each. Truly mind blowing prices, for complete deliciousness. So depending on the chef, make sure to ask for the "dusting" on the chips that come with the queso, you won't regret it. Besides the yummy apps, we enjoyed a few of their happy hour drinks that also did not disappoint. The purple people eater was my jam, which I did enjoy on both visits! Our waitresses both days were so cool and great to chat with, the second night, our waitress talked us into the banana pudding, which normally I would never try, but omg. Wow. All in all, I will definitely be back on my husbands next business trip to Pittsburgh! read more

Worst shrimp po'boy I ever had, sorry to say. Paid $20 for 3 pieces of shrimp on a hoagie bun. Service was also not good. We waited an hour and 15 minutes for our food and one persons meal wasn't correct when she got it. It took them another 30 minutes to correct. Location and ambiance is nice though, I'll give them that. People I talk to said that brunch is better there. We went for dinner. read more

Finally tried this place out after wanting to since it came to station square! Started out with the biscuits which were absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed the blueberry jam. The fried chicken was solid and the dust on top added a nice flavor. For the side I got Brussels sprouts which were way too salty for my taste. Some with less were good, but I would get a different side dish if I return. Not pictured was the banana pudding which was pretty good. Service was good and food came out fairly quickly! All in all, Tupelo Honey was pretty decent but not somewhere I am dying to go back to compared to other restaurants in Pittsburgh. read more

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant. I really wanted to love this place - as we were visiting from Chicago, but what showed up on my plate was awful. At least our server, Kristen, was nice. I ordered their star menu item, the honey dusted fried chicken. I also ordered the buttermilk tenders. The chicken was dry and unseasoned, and I've honestly had more fries at the bottom of a McDonald's bag. Just look at our plates... this was BEFORE we touched it. read more

Absolutely recommend Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar! I am going 5 starts here! Great experience, awesome Ambiance (even dinned on the patio), good service, and the food was so delicious! Two of us for dinner, you can make reservations via OpenTable if you anticipate going during rush. We enjoyed: Appetizer: Cast iron pimento cheese dip + chorizo Dinner: -Mac-n-cheese waffles with Asheville hot fried chicken -Bourbon peppercorn glazed meatloaf w/salt & pepper crispy brussels sprouts & the rosemary & parmesan crispy potatoes Desserts: -Brown butter pecan pie (small) -Heavenly banana pudding (small) In addition to the diet code, i decided I would wash down my meal (I had the meatloaf) with a non-alcoholic speciality, house-made Turmeric Ginger Tonic. Definitely recommend the drink and everything we had was heavenly. I was so excited and it was such a wonderful experience that I want to bring by partner here during our trip in June (and we still may stop in), but even more surprised that we have a THSK&B in Upper Arlington (Columbus), Ohio, where I am from. This location in Station Square does everything right and has set a high standard for any others. Learn more about the restaurant at tupelohoneycafe.com. read more

I was visiting Pittsburgh from California and was looking for a small pre-baseball game snack to hold me over until I could dive into ballpark food. I always make it a point to try brussel sprouts if it's on a menu, and was lucky that this happened to be a Happy Hour item. Every single bite was crispy. The red pepper sauce was a unique alternative to the typical balsamic/honey glaze I always see on other menus. I liked that the sauce was underneath the Brussels sprouts, instead of being drizzled on top so that it could maintain the crispness. Order the biscuits! Even if you're stuffed, make room for the biscuits. Crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Shoutout Derek who served me at the bar area. Loved the beer recommendation and small conversation. It wasn't really busy while I was there, but I appreciated that he was just the right amount of attentive. read more

Awful service. Inattentive and forgot simple requests (i.e. ask for hot sauce). Took 10-15 minutes to get water. Waited 30 minutes to get boxes, get check, and make payment. That's an extra $5 in parking fees in that area. Waitresses seemed annoyed when I tried to flag them down. There was an error on the bill but I didn't bother to correct it and took it off waitress's tip because that wouldve meant more waiting and parking fees. Food was otherwise decent but the experience was not good at all. read more

Very good food! I went on a Tuesday night, super easy to get a table. Parking surrounding this area is going to be paid. Even the street parking is paid 24/7. My first drink was the peach cocktail, it was very refreshing and delicious. Just the right amount of alcohol. I had the Debutante cocktail after and I enjoyed it as well. For appetizer, started with the fried green tomatoes over grits. The flavor combination was great! I had the sweet and spicy chicken sandwich as my entree. It comes with a side, I got the mac & cheese. I enjoyed the whole meal. The sandwich was pretty messy but packed full of flavor. My companion got the pork and I thought the fatty part of it was so delicious but the meat alone I was just OK. Service was lovely. My waitress was super attentive and kind. The hostess and bartender were also very hospitable. The bathroom and the rest of the facility looks very clean. Great place to go for a casual night of food and drinks. read more

We arrived first thing on a Sunday ready to have some brunch. The facility was very clean and bright, nice pink windows to let a lot of light in, and the staff were very courteous and positive. Walking in so early we felt welcome and invited. We had three different meals , classic fried chicken and waffles, Sriracha fried chicken waffles,, shrimp and grits. Overall have to say the quality of the food was quite good. Portions are definitely small, especially for the price, but the freshness and the flavor is very good. I don't mind the portions being smaller, as I don't often have the ability to finish large meals late in the morning. However they were just slightly smaller they were quite small. And for the very high price it was a slightly negative experience for me. Both Chicken and waffles were cooked and seasoned well. I definitely recommend the sriracha chicken waffles vesriin with extra sauce, if you're feeling spicy. I really wanted to give this place 4 stars for the food quality (except the brew coffee) because it really was tasty, but the price/value is just so horrible I had to stick at 3 stars. For example, paying $4 a single cup of sysco bulk (at least it tasted like it) brewed coffee just ... well, let's say adds to the negative part of my experience. I'll probably come back again sometime or later. Hopefully there's assortments, but if not, this place is difficult to recommend. read more

Tupelo honey blew me away. I was not expecting such a perfect meal at all. My friend and I were looking for brunch places and I had Tupelo honey on my bucket list for a while because the menu looked interesting. I usually like trying places with menu items I haven't seen anywhere else, but Tupelo took it above and beyond. The food was amazing. The menu had all brunch items one could crave for. This place is too underrated. Literally every other brunch place couldn't take walk ins that day, but there was no wait at all here. Service was also super fast and parking was convenient with lots of spots nearby. [Sriracha honey fried chicken & waffles] I really liked the original sauce on this traditional brunch dish. It was a bit in the heavy and salty side, but nonetheless delicious. Chicken was tender and juicy. The plattering was also beautiful. [All I Avo Wanted] the avocado/eggs Benedict toast really impressed me. It was flavorful and creamy, and the portions were huge. Would also highly recommend this dish. read more

This wasn't my first time here, but it was my final. I want this place to have good food bc love the vibes and the location, but it just doesnt and I need to stop coming here. We had a reservation, but didn't need one. Just wanted to cover my butt for an event we were going to that night. Our server was very nice, no complaints there. I thought the food was terrible, to be honest. It was edible and had things about it that i liked, but overall not worth the money. $120 for 4 people. We tried multiple different chicken and waffle combinations, all of which had super dry waffles. Chicken was fine, some sauces better than others. The brussel sprouts were burned. I know charred and this was way over that. Everything else we had was mediocre at best: smash burger, fried pickles, sweet and spicy chicken sandwich. Needless to say, I won't be making a trip back here on purpose. read more
