More importantly, it's totally worth it. We got a box of goodies and they were all fantastic. You can taste the quality of the products they use. You can taste the butter. It's just lovely. My husband also really liked his latte. We sat inside and ate some of our goodies. We took the rest home for my mum for Mother's Day. My family loved them, too. Nice space. We also bought some whole wheat flour as a gift while there. Will absolutely go back when I'm in the area.

I stopped here to grab some treats on my way out of Knoxville. This bakery/cafe is absolutely…read moreadorable inside - bright, spacious, welcoming - and has some limited outdoor seating too. If I'd had more time, I would have loved hanging out here for a while. I only managed to get here about 45 minutes to close, so their selection was understandably if somewhat disappointingly quite picked over. I wound up with a cranberry oat scone and a blueberry and raspberry hand tart. The employee was very pleasant and warm. I appreciated her eagerness to help and positive attitude despite my late arrival. The baked goods sadly didn't really live up to my expectations. The cranberry oat scone was the much better of the two; it was pleasantly sweet and had the proper scone texture and only a little dry. Unfortunately, the hand tart had several edges that I discovered later had been burnt. This impacted the flavor of the whole item and sadly diminished it greatly. The fruit filling was tasty at least, though I didn't get much raspberry from it -- mostly blueberry. I'd be down to try again in the future, just would come earlier in the day when the selection is a bit larger and the products available are a bit more "choice," let's say. I appreciated the kind service and lovely vibes!

Last night a gentleman next to our table said "you gotta try Ruby Sunshine"…read moreThis morning I would say I completely agree, at the door I could see food going to tables and I immediately thought "wow" I ordered the Trifecta, it was delicious but I personally realized that I'm not a chicken Benedict guy. This isn't a jab at Ruby, I just enjoyed the other 2 better. The staff was very friendly and efficient, my only jab is the seating because I'm 6'3 I felt too big for the chair and I would of liked a booth but the booths are bigger for 4+ parties. The prices are about $2 cheaper than the surrounding averages, the ruby is more than "a try" it's a frequent.

Sweet tea- solid 8/10 very similar to chick-fil-a tea. Sweet chicken & French toast - solid 5/10 the chicken is really good, the French toast is a bit burnt and they use some kind of spicy sauce on the French toast which throws the taste off and kinda ruins it. Service was very very good. Nice people. Overall - 3 star probably wouldn't recommend.

The service was a bit delayed compared to some of my previous experiences at similar restaurants, but the staff was still friendly and the restaurant was very busy during our visit.

It is on the pricier side, but that's somewhat expected for a popular spot like this. Overall, a solid experience and worth trying at least once.

For the emerald my spouse had the Jambalaya meal which contained shrimp and andouille sausage. What was different about this meal was it contained red tomatoes which my spouse has never seen before. It was delicious and he would order it again. I got the fried chicken with white meat (wing and breast) with a side salad, mashed potatoes with gravy and a biscuit that came with honey butter. What I thought was unusual is they charged .50 cents for adding a biscuit. It was all very tasty. What was convenient was parking only a few blocks and near the Jackson Event center. I would definitely return for another meal.

As a Michelin guide restaurant, Potchke has earned the right to "mess around in the kitchen", as…read morethey say. However, I wonder about the hype. Haven't had pastrami in a while so I had to order the Pastrami Reuben and the presentation was great with how it was stacked! Between the sauce and the sauerkraut the flavors were all good and I enjoyed the taste of the pastrami when I found it, but the bread to meat ratio was so high I mostly tasted the burned crust of the bread and very few bites of pastrami. It was one slice of pastrami, not a thin slice but not what you hope for when you bite into true Jewish deli pastrami, which are normally bursting at the seems with meat. Marble rye is hard not to burn and they did a good job for the most part, but I tasted more crust than I did pastrami, and for $18 I wonder if this sandwich was more a charge for the hype. The blintzes were also smaller than one would expect of a blintz but I absolutely loved the compote on top.

The atmosphere was a blend of Punk Rock meets The Macabre. - a kind of Iggy Pop kind of vibe. The biscuits are exquisite - big and flakey Cats-head type of biscuits that Grandma would be proud of. They pair well with the apple butter that is available on every table. The spicy grits can't be ignored either - not just heat, but amazing creole flavour. I liked this place, you never know what to expect when a restaurant gets hyped up but here, at least, the hype is well lived up to.

We each had a burger I had the chili cheese burger. Food arrived hot but the burger was a fat ball of tastelessness. It didn't even cover the entire bun, which wasn't that big to begin with ( for those prices). So your first few bites are nothing but bun and lettuce. the bun wasn't even that good, toasted or good bread. To make it worse the fries were sad and soggy. Maybe it's just me but I prefer crispy fries not ones that droop over when you picked them up. I ended up taking the bun off eating the chili and toppings leaving half my meat and I didn't even finish the fries. I love my french fries and for me to leave. French fries uneaten is definitely a statement. After the meal, I asked what he thought and he said the same thing. Very underwhelming and doubtful that we would return. I really wanted to love it.

At around 11:00 am, I walked over and grabbed a seat at the bar, because all of the other tables and booths were filled with happy diners. On one side of the menu you have your breakfast, and the other has everything you'd want for lunch. I started with my usual cup of coffee, and then opted for the two eggs, toast and bacon. For a place that was packed, my food didn't take very long to come out. Everything was delicious, and I especially loved that they had an option for marble rye toast. Sally, my waitress, was the sweetest. She took great care of me and made sure my first time here was perfect!! I also loved their hanging lights and sweet Valentines decor, which was a nice touch. I will certainly be back, and hats off again to you Sally!!

Thankful to have a reservation, we were promptly seated while others with no reservation were being told three hour wait times. I loved the vibe of Tupelo, the hanging lush green plants on the side of the bustling kitchen, the cheerful staff and the lively music. Lizette was our server and she was just a darling. It was our first time here, and she was so helpful with her all of her recommendations. One of Lizette's favorites was the "Peach, don't kill my vibe" sangria. Which I just loved. I nice mix of peach and pineapple in a sangria. For our mains, we had the grilled harvest chicken and the chicken tenders. Both mains came with two sides. With my grilled harvest chicken, I got the mashed potatoes and the braised bacon green beans. The green beans were to die for, even my hubby was saying he should've ordered that as his side. The harvest chicken I loved--especially the sautéed spinach, red peppers and tomatoes on top. But if you can't handle spicy, this dish does have some heat to it. And we ended my birthday celebration with the heavenly banana pudding. It was heavenly in every way. Made in house, and so delicious that even my hubby ate it and he never cares for this dessert. If I could've licked that little bowl, I would've. We already cannot wait to come back and try some of the brunch items on their menu. We loved everything about Tupelo and hats off to Lizette for making our night even more special!!
