Tupelo honey has by far the best brunch I’ve ever had. We had the chicken and waffles and the shrimp and grits. Both were outstanding!

To start of off, 2nd time eating here. As good as the first time. The hostess were friendly and kind enough to keep my 7 old son entertained while we wait for our table. Our server Lucas was kind, friendly, and attentive. The house specialty drinks were delicious. All around great meal - kid's meal of blueberry waffles with bacon and milk, a Mahi Mahi dinner, 2 different versions of chicken of waffles - the names escape me, and a pretty good perch fry with great company. Great place to meet up with friends or family - lunch, dinner or brunch.

The food was so flavorful and satisfying! I had the smothered chicken with grits and crispy Brussel sprouts. The sprouts were indeed crispy and the grits while slightly underseasoned paired nearly perfectly with the rest of the food.

The glass of wine was about a 3 oz pour. I didn’t really like my fried chicken - and I ordered the half chicken to take some home. I asked the server if the honey dust meant that it was sweet and she said no. It was very sweet - and I hate sweet savory. The broccolini was sweet as well and I thought that was going to be spicy. I wish I had known that everything I ordered was sweet - I would have ordered something completely different.

Great southern food in the Midwest..What more can you want?!! Have been to Tupelo many times in the south. Visiting Milwaukee & stumbled on Tupelo while searching for a dinner spot after Brewers game. So happy to find Tupelo! Best biscuits & fried chicken! Service was also outstanding.

The signature dish (Fried Chicken) was absolutely spectacular. Do not pass the Mac and Cheese side dish….you will not regret it. Our wait staff was attentive and genuinely nice. It was a very enjoyable experience.

As always, the food and service were excellent. I drove in from Chicago because we don't have a location here YET. My server, Sunshine, was absolutely GREAT!!! I love the chicken and waffles, fried green tomatoes and grits. I've also visited the location in Myrtle Beach as well. I highly recommend if you love comfort food.

Yummy food and a great selection of southern flair foods. Love the fried green tomatoes and grits. Shrimp Po Boy is good but a little light on the shrimp. Great decor creates an open, bright and happy environment. Our server was super kind and provided great service!

I had been once before-my husband had never been. Our appetizers took forever to come out and the restaurant was dead. .Those were great! The booth behind us asked for a happy hour menu & the server brought one right over for them. We asked our server Courtney for one saying that we heard someone else say it was happy hour. She said it was just for the bar...we said the other table was getting to order off the happy hour menu, and she said she would talk to someone about that. We looked online and it didn't say anywhere that happy hour was just at the bar. It was pretty disappointing. Then our dinner came & I got the same thing I got last time because I loved it so much and wrote about it in my last review. The sweet & spicy chicken sandwich. I told my husband how good it was, so he got a half bird like that. I also told him the mac was amazing. It was super disappointing because the mac was so dry, noodles were hard, and you couldn't even tell it was a mac n cheese. The chicken was so overly HOT that you could barely eat it. My husband ate one piece of his half a bird. Our lips were on fire within one bite. It wasn't even enjoyable to eat. It was not the same taste I had last time and I feel so bad because I bragged to my husband about how good it was. :( After that, I can't say we would be back. He didn't like his meal at all. Some tables were allowed happy hour and we weren't, it was just not a good experience.
