    Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar Pittsburgh, PA
    Olga M.

    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. Our service was excellent with friendly and attentive staff. Check it out when in the area. Happy Yelping :)

    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!

    Crispy Chicken Tenders
    Amber V.

    Tried this today! Thought the inside was very nice, pretty loud though. Strawberry lemonade was delicious, enjoyed tenders, mashed potatoes and green beans I thought were just okay. Would come back because I really want to try the peach waffles.

    Steak & Eggs, Crispy Potatoes, Grits

    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!

    Biscuits For A Cause
    Janine H.

    It was nice and quiet on a Monday morning. Service was quick and friendly. I was a tad under the weather and asked for a hot toddy. Omg it did not disappoint! The food came out fresh and hot and tasted amazing. I'm so glad there is a location in OH so I can visit again soon.

    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!

    Buttermilk Fried Chicken Tenders and Honey dusted fried chicken
    John T.

    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.

    Famous Fried Green Tomatoes*
    Kathy M.

    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!

    Smothered Chicken* & Biscuits
    Maya K.

    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!

    Bourbon Peppercorn Glazed Meatloaf
    Matthew U.

    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.

    Blackened Shrimp & Avocado Po' Boy
    Zabrina H.

    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.

    Cast Iron Pimento Cheese Queso
    Kari W.

    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!

    Steak n Steak & Eggs
    Casey L.

    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!

    LOVED our dinner at this place…read more We came here for dinner while visiting Pittsburgh. The first thing that struck me was the interior decor. Very industrial and moody with an open kitchen/preparation area that adds some intrigue. I do like to see the happenings of what's going on as someone with zero attention span. Service was excellent. George was fantastic. He kept a close eye on us without being overbearing. He anticipated what we might need so we didn't spend one second waiting to order anything. The menu is not endless or overwhelming which, presumably, allows them to focus on the items that are listed. I have decision panic so it was kinda nice to have less things to choose from. They asked if there were any allergies or dietary restrictions so I mentioned my vegetarianism. George went through the menu and pointed out the vegetarian options including what seems like it is vegetarian but isn't. They had TWO vegetarian entree options and fortunately the non-mushroom one was something I probably would have ordered anyway: pesto with walnuts, arugula, and a very generous amount of grated cheese. To start, I ordered the Brussels sprouts whichc I was warned had fish sauce. This was fine but nothing that blew me away. GF, on the other hand, loved this. GF ordered the wedge which was brought to our attention as vegetarian with the bacon on the side, which was her request. We ended up sharing both, a large part of that was because hers came out first and I couldn't wait but I'm so glad because the wege was FANTASTIC. The dressing? holy fuck pure ecastasy. The wedge was more like a filet shape which was much easier to eat. Who decided on the wedge shape anyway? The lettuce was so fresh and crisp and went wonderfully with that orgasmic dressing and breadcrumbs. Back to my pasta. Also delectable. Noodles were al dente. The sauce was creamy and packed that pesto umami flavor. The walnuts were a really nice contrast in texture. Everything about it absolutely fucking slapped. GF ordered the mushroom entree which came served on a bed of barley which, don't mind if I do, had a few forkfuls to "sample" for "my review". Again, so fucking good. Because it was my birthday, George provided a dessert (yuzu maybe?) that was served inside a meringue-esque igloo, creamy perfect balance of sweet and tart custard with some berry business underneath. Wonderful. I almost forgot their spectacular cocktails! Holy shit, literally they have a CORN CHIP cocktail that I could not pass up. It comes with two massive cornchips on top of a flavored foam. When you bring the glass up to sip, the cornchips are right in front of your nose and their aroma sets the stage for the drink which was STRONG. It wasn't as corn chip forward as I expected but I understand that flavor is probaly hard to create. For my second drink, I ordered the blue one which was refreshing, light, and really good. GF ordered a spritz which was gorgeous "it was good". For second round, I picked out some uranium thing that was very cucumbery, GF says, "it was good". I just read it outloud to her. "it's true!" Fantastic meal at a great place.

We celebrated our 10yr anniversary here for dinner & it was definitely worth it. Unblemished ambiance & service. We were at the restaurant side- very chic & intimate. They have a casual tavern area along the bar on the other side. And an upstairs section. When you look up, there's an entire wall of huge wine selection. For cocktails we had the Cosmopolitan & Strawberry Smash-- both prepared great! Cosmos are usually a hit/miss situation for me; this was really good though- not too tart nor sweet-- very well balanced w/ a mild hint of vodka coming through, which after a few sips hits you in a nice, soft way. Husb said the Strawberry Smash was bangin!!-- the sibona amaro in it stabilized the fruitiness of the drink. For apps, we ordered the Calamari- it was soooo good & crispy/crunchy, I had to prevent myself from stuffing everything in my mouth! I was a bit sad I had to share this w/ my husb lol. It came with a hot & sour sauce w/ lemon which overall made the dish unique. For entree, I had the Scottish Salmon, came w/ scallops & I added crab cake to it. Succulent salmon was seared w/ great flavor, the sweet corn & pepper mixed in a tomato vinaigrette on the side under the scallops was just unbelievable. The crab cake was cut squared, hands down one of the best cakes. The flavor profile for the entire dish together in a bite was incomparable!! Definitely order this. Husb ordered the Gerber Farms Chicken, amish chicken served w/ risotto, greens on top of thyme jus (akin to a thin gravy). The chicken was cooked well-- juicy on the inside & a nice roast on the outside; the risotto wasnt heavy & didn't weigh the meal down, the thyme jus's flavor was subtle & it elevated the entire dish. For dessert, we got the Chocolate Hazelnut tart & Eleven Candy bar. I legit relished & inhaled the tart despite already being so full. Husb loved the Candy bar. A huge slice of brownie/caramel candy bar w/ chocolate mousse phew! The pics explain how mindblowin' everything was! A real one-of-a kind experience. Ron was great in explaining everything too. Taxes they add to the bill: sales, alcohol & Allegheny tax which raises the end charge. A toast to the chefs & Mixologists here.

    BEST PITTSBURGH WING…read more We were absolutely not expecting this and still can't believe it. We didn't have major expectations but hoped it would be at least a top 5 wing and average meal. It was beyond that The French onion soup we saw online and everyone seemed to enjoy that. We're whores for it so had to get. I like mine a tad bit salty which this was and PACKED with onion chunks and breaded leeks on top. It was impossible to get a spoon fully without any inclusions. My new favorite The Tavern Burger. I'm coming fresh off 9 years without 5 Guys (elite) and this rocked me harder than that. This isn't a stupid smash burger. We got a juicy COOKED PERFECT RARE 8oz patty, topped with sautéed onions, and bacon that isn't crisped to smithereens. I like my bacon medium rare and that's exactly what I got. Then covered in one of the craziest sauces I have ever had, their gorgonzola cream. I could drink that by the gallon The wings.... I have never had a wing itself cooked more perfect in my life. The smoke and meatiness on them was so nailed that I could get 2 dozen plain and still have the same reaction. We got the Buffalo Garlic and Dry Cajun Ranch. These wings don't need drenched in sauce by any means or it would honestly ruin it. The buffalo doesn't ned to be creamy either. Perfect amount of sauce to cheese ration. The dry cajun ranch was a fucking knockout. For how great the wing is I would love to see more dry season options with them Cam got a Tavern Dip. I hate dips. I loved the shaved ribeye on it and horseradish, but I have never been an Au Jus man. Would 100000% eat it without the au jus Then the fries. Always team psoriasis through and through. Not sure if I'm coming off the Five Guys high but their cajun boardwalk style are even better. Get some spicy honey aioli to dip them in. Truly just shocked at how amazing this place is. Right over the bridge and cannot recommend enough going here before a game and walking over. Great spot right before, after and during sports. Very high Pittsburgh atmosphere going on I will be back so many times and absolutely worth going Downtown for

    I can't tell you how many times I have been here thru the past 10 years since it is my husband's…read morefavorite restaurant in the 'burgh. I also do really like it! I have had everything on the menu more than once and nothing had ever been disappointing. Therefore, it came as a shock when we learn they are were closing for a while. Knowing how long it took them reopen some of their other restaurants, we are a bit sad. Maybe they will make it a little less dark inside which would be great. Sometimes it is a bit too lick like a club in there. Also perhaps they could add the octopus tacos to Tako Torta ! We visited for one last hoorah last weekend. The octopus wasn't on the menu but after checking with our waitress, they still had a few. We got both this one and then queso! I got chips for the queso since I don't do gluten and then corn tortillas with the tacos. The octopus was well cooked as usual. I had a frozen pain killer which was great. See you soon I hope!

Tacos come in a serving of 2 per order, but they are fairly large so this is enough Their namesake is their octopus taco. I got this, chips & guacamole, + their passionfruit beverage. It was all fantastic Service was unbelievably fast Downsides are that the place's seating is fairly uncomfortable (lots of stools with no backs) and it is pretty loud.

    Fig & Ash Wood Fire Kitchen is a local restaurant and bar that is in the North Side neighborhood…read moreand is open for dinner and private events. It serves wood-fired cuisine that uses locally raised meats, house-made pasta, and seasonal vegetables. Currently, during the winter, examples of menu items are small plates (e.g., roasted beet salad and heirloom carrots), mid courses (e.g., linguine and blue-bay mussels), large plates (e.g., sesame soy-glazed eggplant, pork chop, and picanha), desserts (e.g., pistachio cake and Kahlua fudge brownie), and alcoholic beverages (e.g., cocktails, mocktails, wines, and beers). For my husband and me, I made a reservation for dinner through the Resy website. I chose from options of the dining room, a four-season patio with awnings and heaters, and a chef's counter with a view of the kitchen. Please note that although the foods are upscale, the dress code seems to be smart casual. We parked our vehicle in a lot a short walk away. Upon our arrival to the restaurant, a seating hostess promptly greeted and seated us. Our server provided courteous and attentive service, such as taking our order and bringing our foods on time, refilling our waters, and cleaning my crumbs. We started with a Crab Cake with decent amount of crab meat, mushroom duxelles, tasty truffle aioli, and a side of arugula salad. My main course was Branzino with sides of beans-vegetables and parmesan cornbread. My husband's main course was Duck Breast with a blood-orange demi-glace, asparagus, and potatoes. I thought that everything tasted very good. The total price was $96 plus tax, 3% credit-card surcharge, and tip.

    The restaurant is cute, cozy, and very welcoming, and the atmosphere was really enjoyable. Our…read moreserver was phenomenal--friendly, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of throughout the evening. Unfortunately, the food was a bit hit or miss. The grilled peach salad was definitely the standout and the one dish we truly loved. The short rib and pork belly meatloaf, however, was dry and lacked flavor, and the flat iron steak was also dry and didn't have the flavor or tenderness we were expecting. With a few improvements to the main dishes, this could be a really great dining spot.

They have amazing waffle fries here and the weekday specials are awesome. It's half off wine bottles on Wednesdays. We got a bottle of bubbly wine for $13?? It's unheard of.

Unfortunately that's were the good ends. First and always foremost, how was the food? An absolutely mess. Impossible to enjoy bc the sandwich falls apart immediately, simply can not pick up without losing everything inside, and greasy as all get out. I should have expected this to an extent, but a nearly $20 grilled cheese at a place that "specializes" in them, I would hope could do better than this. Service was very, very slow despite many open seats. The part that probably sent it over the top was the plate runner constantly spilling the tomato soups everytime they brought out someone's meal. Mine dripped all of the ground as he sat it down, my wife's got on her tray so the bread was just mushy on the bottom, and we saw it constantly as he walked by delivering others. Cool idea, cool location, but the rest was just bad.
