My boyfriend and I visited after church following a recommendation. The restaurant is pretty unassuming, with a simple menu and salad bar, similar to some KFC locations. Nothing special caught my attention except the blueberry donuts, which they had already sold out of. I ordered a 2 piece white with baked beans and green beans, boyfriend opted for the 2 piece dark with the same sides. The best part of my meal were the baked beans, which were pretty darn good! Not to sweet and not over cooked, try them. The chicken was well fried, but not well seasoned...I'm not sure if it was seasoned at all. My BF offered that he thought the season was in the flour rather than on the meat itself. The green beans also lacked substantial seasoning, which puzzled us because there were pieces of ham/fat back on my BF's plate indicating an effort to add flavor...but it fell short. The sweet tea was also, ummm, not very sweet...surprising for a restaurant in Mississippi. The service was fast and pleasant. I recommend getting some of the jalapeño sauce and ketchup to dunk your chicken in if you like flavor. Also, they charge you $.10 for a water cup-FYI. read more

Passing through Tupelo to visit Elvis's birthday and stopped at Connie's for lunch. We loved it. All the chicken, tenders and breast, were awesome. Breading was crisp and flavorful. Meat was very moist. Onion rings were sooo good. All the sides were also good. Great sweet tea. The staff was very nice as well. Check'em out. read more

Connie’s Chicken - Blueberry perfection! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tupelo, Mississippi

I really wanted to like this a lot as any business that lasts 30 years or more has to get some snaps right? We had a breast of fried chicken for breakfast, no biscuit or gravy. The chicken itself was moist and tasty but the fried part was soggy and lacked any seasoning so was bland. We threw some mayo on it to tart it up and it was much better. We followed this with their famous blueberry doughnuts..mm well I don't know what I was expecting, maybe a beignet since we were fairly south, maybe a doughnut akin to shipleys...but certainly not a cross between these two resulting into a donutmuffin. Having said this, it was tasty and hit the spot but really nothing special. All this for $5 inc coffee very good value. The drive through was heaving and inside just as busy. Old fashioned menu board and counter hot from the 70's was a nice piece of its roots. read more

Connie’s Chicken - connies counter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tupelo, Mississippi

It's a fast food model stop run by local people. Lauded for their breakfast, but I've never been there for it. Fried chicken is great - it's always juicy and crisp, never soggy and always quality - I've never been served an undersized piece in 20 years of regular dining. Freshest salad bar on that side of town. You're expected to dress your sandwiches from the salad bar as well. Onion Rings are super if you're in them for the crust and not the vegetable. read more

The chicken deserves a solid 5+ but the sides bring the overall score down. First, this place does fried chicken up right. One taste and I was transported back to family reunion days. Remember that aunt whose fried chicken you couldn't wait to sink your teeth into? Crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. Perfectly cooked! But then what do I say about the sides? Hmmm. Maybe other sides are better but the cole slaw and green beans were totally underwhelming. Chicken that good deserves perfectly seasoned green beans. It's a shame these weren't. The rolls were very yummy so that's a plus. We saw onion rings and wished we'd ordered some. read more

Stopped by for breakfast before taking my board exams for the first time after I yelped them .. Can I say..OMG!! So good!! The biscuits were fresh! I had the pork tenderloin biscuit with gravy..and it was amazing! I wish I would have gotten more to take home. And you cannot miss the warm blueberry donut! This place is southern goodness at its best! read more

Connie’s Chicken - Sorry..half eaten..couldn't help myself - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tupelo, Mississippi

Fried chicken wings were hot, light and not salty which was great! Green beans were also hot, and cole slaw had nice tangy bite to it. So often deep fried food is overly salty. Connie's fried chicken certainly didn't elevate blood pressure level so was able to thoroughly enjoy it without feeling guilty. read more

Connie’s Chicken - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tupelo, Mississippi

This is a must stop if you are in Tupelo! Their breakfast is unbelievable and I assume the same for lunch and dinner. The chicken biscuits are great, and the blueberry doughnuts are the best I have ever had! read more

Our favorite spot in Tupelo. We frequent here due to picking up furniture. They have thee best chicken biscuit I have ever had. I have yet to have the fried chicken, but my husband says it is the best as well. DON'T forget your blueberry doughnut... you will regret it! read more

Perfect lightly fried chicken....amazingly moist, juicy and tender! I've been here now twice and not been disappointed. For breakfast they serve an amazing chicken and biscuit sandwich...their incredible fried chicken tender served on a homemade biscuit. Small so if you are hungry you should order more than one Lunch I had the chicken tenders: 4 tenders with 2 freshly baked rolls and choice of two sides. The Mac&cheese and green beans were good, but not great. But the star again was the chicken for which this local institution is known. The strips again are perfectly lightly breaded and so moist they nearly melt in your mouth. Paired with a honey mustard or eaten plain. Delicious! Then there is the matter of their house made blueberry donut..warm, soft and sweet. Definitely tasty!! If you are in town in Tupelo..check out Connies. read more

Breakfast here is a must if you are in Tupelo. Chicken and biscuit with gravy is amazing. Gravy and biscuit so good. Don't forget a blueberry doughnut or 12. Lunch and dinner get chicken tenders and onion rings. These are home style cooked no need for anything fancy here. I've eaten here regularly for 22 or so years and it's never disappointing. read more

Connie's is hands down the best place to eat...I'm from here but live in Kentucky and miss this place..I am visiting and of course I'm ordering from Connie's and tomorrow I'm getting my tenderloin bis. read more

The fried chicken was fantastic! It was the right of salty and juicy. We ordered a lot of food for 6 people and it came out in a timely manner. I was also a big fan of the fries! I went with my friends who are doing Teach For America and they're from California and Connecticut. They were able to enjoy some good southern local cookin'! I really appreciated that they were open on a Sunday. read more

I came here with my boyfriend and his mom. We could not stop raving about this place. Before we left town we had to come back for breakfast. The chicken was tender and eggs are freshly made. Oh my goodness the donuts are so nice and light. Ughhhh so good, what ever they put in them it's like crack. We defiantly enjoyed this place and could've only hoped we had a nice place like this in the Midwest. read more

Blueberry donuts so good I had to get a box to go to fly back to Iowa with me. Breakfast is unfortunately not all day like I was hoping (check the sign... you can't do biscuits and gravy at noon :( oh well) read more

Perfect southern breakfast. Had the chicken and bisquits sandwiches. Awesome with some hot sauce. Also had the blueberry donuts, couldnt stop with one and wound up leaving with 2 dozen for the office. Only improvement would be the coffee, but I love dark roast coffee thats not for everyone. Will be going to Tupelo again this week and will definitely stop at Connies read more

We went today (6-17-21). Was not impressed. I was given a coupon from the medical facility, gave them the coupon but they did NOT reduce my bill, I was charged the full amount. Waited for ever for our food and it was delivered to the wrong table. There were only 3 tables of customers (we were one of the 3). I ordered a chicken liver dinner, the chicken livers were good. The mac and cheese was extremely watery, the mashed potatoes were NOT appetizing at all. I had to take an antibacterial wipe to clean our table, it had not been cleaned after the last customer or so. Overall I was very disappointed after all the rave reviews. I will NOT be returning read more

As a way of saying just how much I like Connie's chicken and vegetable sides, I asked to come here soon after going home from a too-long sudden hospital stay involving a uncommon disease picked up from high desert soil containing certain fungus fragments that can make humans sick or dead. That I'm Yelp-reviewing right now tells you that it was eventually figured out. Obviously I didn't die. What sort of close call I had you don't need to about -- we are reviewing genuinely memorable food. However, I lost 45 pounds and hadn't eaten for a long time, so sleeping became difficult which itself requires baseline nutrition. Yikes!Later, at home, while relearning basics like eating and drinking enough, finally I got hungry. I mean, I had appetite. Pictures of favorite places lit up my brain.?What a relief! What a normalizing thing full of reassurance! And I wanted Connie's fried chicken and vegetable sides most of all. I have enjoyed discovering the many aspects of 'Southern cooking' and my likings in my extended Tupelo stays. So I laughed that I was salivating even in my pathetic state that I'd made my choice to go eat. And also that no way was I going to just go there since walking was still difficult and scary, plus the shower I needed was a high anxiety event featuring death grips holding on for balance and even just to stand up! Jeez! Very humbling. Made me extra hungry for Connie's by the time I got through the front door and when all that cooking hit me, I knew I was, despite earlier concerns, a genius. read more

Best fried chicken in town hands down! Owner made me feel right at home. I let him know my family is from fried chicken capital of the US. He took great care of us! read more

With this being a privately owned local in place, I was expecting more flavor from their chicken. The coleslaw was decent but the macaroni and cheese tasted like it was made with cheese whiz. read more

Donuts are delicious!! Service was great and fast, we have passed by this place several times so glad we decided to stop, will definitely be back. read more

Sure wish they had the food that was on their menu. Rude service. 10:44 a.m. and they can't fry french fries or onion rings but can fry chicken. What is the difference? read more

It isn't a fancy place,but once you get inside-WOW.The menu shows you just exactly what you want.The staff is courteous,and patient.And the chicken--to swoon over.Crispy on the outside and oh so tender !Before you know it you have eaten way too much.Gotta go back read more

Connie's has become a weekend breakfast tradition! The best open faced chicken tenderloin biscuits with gravy ever!!! The blueberry donuts are to die for. Fast drive thru lines on the weekend, and friendly workers make this place a wonderful spot. read more

Have a chicken biscuit and a blueberry donut for breakfast before you leave town; you won't regret it!

Actually very good. Choice between traditional chicken or strips. Both very good but I always go the old fashioned way! Nothing fancy, just good food. read more

Best blueberry donuts ever!! Chicken and biscuit, biscuit and gravy and the onion rings are awesome too. Love this local hometown spot!

Not only is Connie's Fried Chicken a very good place...we had biscuits, gravy,chicken and blueberry donuts....it was delicious. We were on a family emergency trip from Savannah, Ga. To Kansas City and we were returning home to Savannah. After eating breakfast at Connie's, we drove all day and checked into a hotel in Columbus, Ga. I discovered my purse was missing. I called Mr. Asters at Connie's, He told me He had my purse. His wife took the purse to U.P.S, sent it special delivery. It arrived on time last evening. My purse contained my passport, drivers license, credit cards, a one hundred bill, an expensive camera and check book. Absolutely everything was exactly as I left it. In today's world, I would like to give thanks to the Asters for being the kind of people that built this nation...... read more

One of my favorite places in Tupelo for breakfast. Located right across the street from the hospital so it's always busy but it's worth the wait! My favorite is the chicken biscuit with creamy gravy. The chicken is always tender and biscuits fluffy plus if you can stand a dessert for the first meal of the day, try the blueberry donuts. Warm and yummy every time!!! read more

I figured a place with fried chicken in the title has to be great.....this place was not very good. After my co-worker and I left....I told him that was the most ordinary meal I've every had. Everything was extremely bland. read more

We were visiting and went here on a yelp recommendation. It was a Sunday and there was a big church crowd so I guess the folks in Tupelo think it's a good place. With that being said - we were to late for blueberry donuts and that made us sad. The chicken was ok the tenders were better. The mashed potatoes were boxed, green beans cooked to death ( but that is the way southerners like them ) and the salad bar didn't have too many green things on it. Not the best meal, but the chicken was tasty. read more

The chicken was amazing! The moisture...perfect! The taste, simply put second to none! The only reason I gave this four stars out of five is the appearance of the staff looked pretty rough. They looked like they were hanging out out their house vs being professionally dressed. They could really use some customer handling training and the owner require a uniform look. If you don't care about these type of things and want exceptional chicken...this is the place! read more

Been coming here for years. My wife loved the fried chicken tenders. I make a meal off a healthy salad from their well stocked salad bar to balance out the fried onion rings. Onion rings are superb in my opinion. I rate them second in the world only to Corky's in Memphis which I consider the best, when you catch them on a good day. Have never made it here for breakfast, after seeing all the rave reviews, I'll have to get up earlier in the future and try it. The manager is Bill Clinton's twin brother- not really but the resemblance is remarkable. read more

Connie's is the best! I'm from Philly Pa, and the Chicken is the best I've had anywhere in the country. The service is great and there's even a cute girl named Keelee that might give you free blueberry doughnuts if your nice! She's worth it alone! read more

I have hear lots of people in Tupelo BRAG about Connie's Chicken..... I was not so impressed! the chicken was nicely cooked and juicy.... BUT.... Where the Hell is the seasoning???? Please add a spicy version to your menu, I think you would double your business. read more

A true gem. The chicken was amazing. The fixins were delicious. The homemade donuts were amazing!!

Their chicken is so delicious and always fresh. I also love their blueberry doughnuts they are the bomb. Over all I love this place I just wish there was another one on the other end of town so I could eat there more often. Easy 5 stars! read more

Yes, yes, blueberry donuts, yes, for the fourth time (which is the number I ate), yes. These are like little slices of heaven when they are warm and melting in your mouth. One of those four was cold though (let it sit too long) and it was nothing special. The fried chicken biscuit was awesome too. This place is made for donuts and chicken, no doubt. Don't expect a waitress to fill up your coffee cup or for the coffee to be that good. Just go for the food. read more
