My partner and I decided to give Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar in Irving a second chance…read moreafter a disappointing first visit due to poor service. After I left a review, the manager, Amanda Stewart, reached out personally, inviting me to call and share the details. Amanda, though new to the company, has years of industry experience and truly understands the value of great service. She apologized repeatedly and invited us back. We returned this past Thursday, and it was a complete turnaround. Amanda made sure we felt valued, and Damien, our server, was phenomenal. The food was spot-on, and the entire experience left us with a much brighter outlook. We will absolutely be returning. Thank you, Amanda, and thank you, Damien, for making it right.

Tupelo Honey is a southern style restaurant chain that serves comfort food in a casual setting…read more They recently refreshed their menu, and they have become one of my favorite casual lunch spots in Irving-Las Colinas. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Tupelo Honey is a stand-alone restaurant conveniently located near Hwy 114 and 161. There's plenty of parking, outdoor seating, and a mixture of tables, booths, and bar seating. Speaking of the bar, it acts as a beautiful backdrop for the entire restaurant. 1 Star. Service - The service is always friendly. Our server is always smiling, and I can't help but feel welcome with southern charm. Tupelo Honey trains its staff well, and I really enjoy coming here and interacting with the staff. 1 Star. Food - I always begin with the Biscuits with a Cause. These light, flakey biscuits are served warm with a crispy exterior and soft, flakey inside. But honestly, the biscuits act as a delivery mechanism for the butter and blue berry jam. I always ask for an extra side of butter and jam because I use it all. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Honey Dusted Fried Chicken (dark). The chicken was perfectly fried, crispy, and sweet. And the dark meat was juicy. Pro Tips - use your hands. Another great dish was experienced. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I have yet to have a below average dish at Tupelo Honey. Yes, it's a chain. But it's also a darn good chain that keeps its menu fresh and is worth multiple visits. 1 Star.

We ordered the Cowboy Feast. It came with a 33 oz Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeye, an 8 oz garlic stuffed…read morefilet, a 12 oz New York strip, and mesquite grilled Gulf shrimp. For sides, I chose the mac and cheese, cornbread, tallow fries, and Brussels sprouts. This is the kind of meal you remember for a while. The Wagyu tomahawk ribeye was the star of the table. Tender, flavorful, and packed with that rich beefy taste you'd expect from a steak of that caliber. The garlic stuffed filet was incredibly tender and added another layer of flavor, while the New York strip had a great texture and a perfect mesquite grilled finish. The Gulf shrimp were cooked well and added a nice contrast to all the steak. Smoky, juicy, and full of flavor. The sides were excellent across the board. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, the cornbread was warm and comforting, the tallow fries were crispy and addictive, and the Brussels sprouts provided a nice balance to the feast. The restaurant itself has a true Texas atmosphere with a rustic upscale feel. Service was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel special. This wasn't just dinner. It felt like a Texas steakhouse experience from start to finish. Definitely one of the most memorable meals I've had in the Dallas area.

I am definitely updating my review after our positive experience last Sunday (6/28/26)…read more Our initial greeting from the hostesses was lackluster, at best. Three females, all in their early twenties, all acting as if they don't want to be there. Same as my last experience. Then, a lovely woman showed us to our table. If I am not mistaken, she used to work at Fish City Grill before they closed. She was so welcoming and sweet! Our server, Kristen (sp?) was STELLAR! I truly hope management is having her train staff, she was excellent. Kind, personable, shared recommendations. Our guests were running late, and she was still attentive and our drinks were never empty. Even though our guests' tardiness was out of our control, she never acted upset about this. Once our friends arrived and the food was delivered to the table, we were all happy. Delicious food. One person ordered ribs, and Kristen even brought over a steamy hot cloth for him to clean his sticky hands- wow! Great service and great food. Hey, perhaps Kristen should train the lazy, unhappy hostesses, as well?

My sister and I split their infamous whiskey cake which was a very generous portion. Good God that thing is good! Can't wait to come back with my husband to try the fish and chips.

The famous whiskey cake itself is a calorie‑loaded situation, but honestly... worth it. Sweet, rich, warm, and absolutely designed to make you forget every intention you had of "just taking one bite." Overall, a fun spot with solid food, friendly energy, and a dessert that knows exactly how to steal the show.

It's a chain. There's something about a chain restaurant that's polished and well fabricated…read more Something about it feels like a lab diamond. It's sparkly, but not intimate. It just feels very manufactured. The menu is varied. If you've read my reviews before, you know that I'm a Texa-fornian, so there are a lot of places in Texas that don't suit my palate (or my waist line.) I was easily able to find a couple of things that I would have enjoyed. Based solely on the calorie count, I picked the salmon with cauliflower rice. It was a little oily, but it was good. I cleaned the plate. It's dark inside, like a steakhouse. Not for me, but if that's your thing, you would be happy. It's clean the food's fresh and if you're a drinker, there is a lot of beer. I'm not a drinker. Maybe you're asking why did you even go? Someone gave me a gift card and someone gave my daughter a gift card, so we had to use them.

They're known for massively tall "yard" servings of beer, though I didn't see anyone trying one on my lunchtime visit. They do have a good 4 pages of beers on the menu! The place has high ceilings with exposed pipes lending an industrial vibe. The menu helpfully marks vegetarian options as well as lower calorie choices. I was impressed to see power outlets along the purse hooks below the bar - if you wanted to bring a laptop and catch up on work emails, it'd be possible. Our waitress was business-like and a little unfriendly, and service was terribly slow. The food was good. Free refills on our drinks flowed freely. I tried a veggie burger which was a bit spicy and oaty. I wish I'd tried a salad! Still, I appreciated that they worked with me on reserving tables for a large group all with separate checks.

Orders are taken electronically, which helped make me feel less rushed when making decisions. The bowls can be customized to your liking. The staff here is amazing. Everyone is extremely friendly and food is prepared extremely fast, or at least it was every time I have visited. My favorite thing about this location is how clean everything always looks. I also like the variety of seating options, because I tend to prefer booths. The food is really flavorful and I like that it is healthy. However, the way it tastes depends on who is working that day. I have visited on days where everything tastes perfect, but I have also visited on days where too much sauce or spices are added to the dish and it didn't quite taste the same. The price is very reasonable for a quick and healthy meal on the run. The protein shakes are very good and the Glow up shake is my favorite choice. I will definitely keep visiting this location.
