   Food was great, our waiter was very attentive and nice. We had an incidient where the salt lid came off when we went to use it and it saturated our food, the manager brought a new plate out super fast and apologized for what had happened as well.

   We decided to do Valentines a day later since we had to work on actual Valentine’s Day. We booked for a 4:30 reservation (the latest they had until 8pm. Which was totally fine. We arrived at 4:20 and had our car valeted since there isn’t street parking. Walked in, were greeted right away- seated and within two minutes our server greeted us with water. He took our cocktail order then told us about their Rendezvous for Two deal, which included an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert for $55. Our drinks arrived quickly and the app followed within a couple of minutes. We did the Pimento Cheese Dip which was great. Then I had the Shrimp and Grits and my wife did the Salmon with Creamy Quinoa. Both portions were great (so much so that I couldn’t finish all mine). We got our dessert to go since we were both stuffed from the large portions. We got the Pecan Pie and oh my goodness it was delicious. Our server was great and super helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

   Food and service were absolutely fantastic! Jack and the rest of his team did a great job of attending to my wife and I during our Valentine’s Day Dinner. Can’t recommend them enough!!

   Tupelo Honey does not disappoint. My husband and I went for a day- date and we made reservations for about 1:30 pm and we were seated promptly upon arrival. We started with the Fried Green Tomatoes appetizer and it was delicious. The pumpkin bisque and Cesar salad were quite good as well. We had the Shrimp and Grits meal and the Fried Chicken meal. The Shrimp and Grits were really good, however the chicken came out a bit under-done. The sever immediately got to work on a re-cook and the second meal came out perfect and timely. I was able to finish my meal at the same time as my husband. We had the Banana Pudding for dessert and it was so good I ordered a second one to-go. Very great meal and experience; will definitely be back again.

    Normally, we really like Tupelo Honey Cafe. Admittedly, it'd been a couple of months, but I had a birthday coupon, which prompted the visit. First of all, we had the pimento cheese dip for an appetizer. The dip was good, but several of the chips were soggy with oil. Then, after the food arrived, my wife knocked over her glass and it broke and spilled everywhere. When we mentioned to the staff, they made a half-hearted, ineffective attempt at cleanup, leaving the table and the seat quite wet. Anyhow, we start eating, and my wife's chicken was crazy-tough on one piece. When she pointed it out to the server, they said "well, since you ate most of it," when she had eaten one-third of one piece of chicken. When she objected, they took the plate and disappeared, without a word. A few minutes later, they came back and said it was being remade. They returned with the chicken, and we asked for to-go containers and the bill. Surprisingly, the bill charged for both my wife's original meal and the remake. Which is funny, not just because it was a correction, but because the remake only was the chicken, and not the sides. We got it sorted out, and - using our napkins to dry off the table and seat - paid (tipped 20%, because everyone deserves to eat & pay their bills, even if they have a bad night), then left. John, the manager, was nice and competent, but unfortunately the service was otherwise dreadful. Hopefully that's not indicative of the current state of the place. The food, minus the piece of chicken, was great as always.
