I was craving Southern brunch and this place hit the spot. Go here. Recommend making reservations because it's very popular, especially on weekends. read more

I found this place online & decided to try it while visiting Chattanooga for Spring Break. I enjoyed the espresso martini & life's a peach Chicken & waffles. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures because I dug in & realized after I cleaned my plate. Loved this place. Not too loud. Very great for families read more

We stopped in for a late lunch after taking the Chattanooga trolley/train tour. Wanted to see a little more of the area and it was only about a half a mile from the station/public parking lot where the tours take off. If one can't walk that far there is parking around the warehouse that Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen and other shops are located in. It was a quiet afternoon around 2 pm. Our waitress was prompt and answered our questions. I was happy to see they had gluten free bread/buns. I ordered the Whisky and onion smash burger on a gluten free bun and it was so good I tried to replicate the topping with what I had back at the Airbnb we were staying at. When I get home I'll check out the ingredients better and give it another try. I had a side of green beans nicely seasoned with bacon as my side. My husband, bless his heart, ordered the honey pecan chicken salad sandwich on gluten free bread so I could taste it. It was also delicious and he had a side of home fries to die for. We would definitely come back and try more of their menu if in the area again. read more

Truly enjoyed dinner tonight (see order below). We ordered dinner last night. Usually, it's a big mistake but decided to order from Tupelo Honey. Great decision. Everything was extraordinarily delicious except the mashed potatoes. The mash was a little thin for our taste. Flavor was ok. All the veggies were cooked to perfection with the best sauces. We couldn't get over the Brussels and highly impressed with whatever that sauce was. The green tomatoes weren't soggy like most restaurants. Now, my husband knows his fried chicken and he's not one that likes it covered with anything but loved this one lightly covered with the bonfire sauce. He kept talking about how good it was. I ordered the shrimp and grits and it was delicious. It all came hot which makes a huge difference especially in satisfaction. The last takeout TH's shrimp grits wasn't as good which wasn't hot but arriving hot made a big difference. Compliments to the chef and driver delivering timely. Great job, Tupelo Honey! PS, I do like to suggest to seal the bag to avoid the driver sampling the food. It has happened with Uber drivers only. Ordered from restaurants thruout Chattanooga. We only get nervous if the delivery drivers are from Uber. We haven't had this issue from other services. Happened every time we ordered & uber delivers EXCEPT THIS TIME. MCKIMSEY was great. 1 x Famous Fried Green Tomatoes 1 x Southern Fried Okra 1 x Crispy Brussels 1 x Half Bird - Fried Chicken 1 x Bonfire Sauce 1 x Mashed Potatoes (GF) 1 x House Side Salad (GF) 1 x Add Buttermilk Ranch 1 x Tupelo's Shrimp & Grits 1 x House Side Salad 1 x Add Buttermilk Ranch read more

Haven't been to Tupelo Honey in years. I ordered the southern shashouska and coffee. The coffee wasn't the greatest and I noticed they didn't get it from a coffee pot but from a carafe. The southern shashouska was good and kept me full for several hours. I didn't order any biscuits since they are known for that. We sat at the bar since it was busy and didn't want to wait for a table. The service and food was okay, nothing special, probably won't go back to this location. I enjoyed the one in Asheville better. read more

Epic epic EPIC chicken!! Came here with my family for lunch and we were seated right away. Great service in the bar area which was nice and quiet so that we could enjoy our conversation. Tupelo Honey's menu is what I call good Southern comfort food. I wish there was one of these where I live in Atlanta. I would definitely be a regular. If you grew up in the South, the flavors will be familiar. This chicken is brined for 18 hours and is packed with flavor and the skin is so crispy!! And juicy is an understatement. Just perfect. The veggies were stunning as well. The green beans were well seasoned and loaded with smoky bacon flavor! The mashed potatoes paired well and were delicious. I highly recommend Tupelo Honey if you are from up North and you want to get a true sense of Southern Cuisine. This place does it WELL!! read more

Wonderful place and food!! Service great! Will be back! wish we had one in Cleveland Tenn read more

Server was nice, but seemed unfocused. I had eaten all of my appetizer before she remembered that she hadn't gotten my drink yet. Everything was good except the Mac & cheese. It tasted like Kraft. I had the fried chicken, sauce on the side, green beans, brussels (perfect amount of crisp), fried pickles and peach lemonade. Chicken fried crispy! So good! Try everything except the Mac lol ambiance was a nice southern flair. read more

Food first, thoughts after... We stumbled upon this brunch place while traveling to Chattanooga. Did not have reservation and originally was going to have to wait 15 minutes but a spot opened up. They are celebrating their 25th birthday and giving free biscuits. Overall the food was good and the portion sizes were huge. Just the way I like it! I would definitely come back. read more

Great food nice location enjoyed the vibe of this location. My server was not on point but the staff seem to be on point. Blue berry jelly was absolutely Delicious Food is absolutely Delicious and decent portions for price point.Plenty of seating available.Now for the negatives the coffee was not hot I had to ask my server twice for cream and sugar. She lacked attention to detail and very rarely came around to our table. Parking to get to this location was not that great. read more

Found this location to be less consistent than other TH locations. They were out of some gluten free options and the chicken salad was dry. There was only one server in our area so it was hard to get his attention. read more

Amazing food and great friendly service! Two words chicken and waffles! I have to type at least 85 letters for my review to be accepted so here's my extra words. read more

I have been to Savannah Georgia and had southern food from the motherland,,, and this place was very comparable. Our waiter was the best. He was very helpful with suggestions and was patient with some of the slow ordering people in my party. The food was amazing. The drinks were the best. I had the old fashioned flight and it was the first time I had a flight like that. The place was very open and not cluttered at all with tables. Very clean inside and out. We will definitely be back. read more

2nd time to Tupelo Honey. Last time was YEARS AGO.... more than 5 years ago... and I came for the promotional beer glass. Back then they were still troubleshooting their fusin food menu. It was good... but I'm foodie snob... they had room for improvement. That was the Chattanooga location back then. Today at the St Elmo location one... everything SLAPPED!! We were even bummed we couldn't do cat cafe... and the food hear filled the kitty void with delicious food. My kid got blackened Mahi mahi, mac and cheese and fries. All yum. I got the surf and turf served over creamed Spanish and fried potatoes. Aperol Sprize to drink... okay... but never seen this drink before so it was the obvious choice. Then finished with the banana pudding and Mississippi mud pie mini tasting dessert. Oh... and signed up for club and got to sample the biscuits for free. The blueberry sauce and butter on their biscuits is definitely worth your time. Tristan was our waiter and he was cool and super helpful. Kid wants to bring daddy back here ASAP. read more

Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar is a restaurant chain from the Carolinas that is rooted in Southern/Appalachian food traditions. The original location opened in 2000 in downtown Asheville, NC, and they now have restaurants across the country. This location in Chattanooga, Tennessee is my personal favorite, and I've taken detours on multiple roadtrips to bypass Nashville and eat here instead due to the great location, amazing customer service, and incredible food. Some of my favorite menu items from past visits include the fried green tomatoes, crab and fried chicken benedicts, shrimp & grits, root vegetable mash (Asheville location), the Southern fried okra, and the Mississippi mud pie. read more

My dad and I wanted to get dinner early. The restaurant we wanted to go to wasn't open, so we settled on Tupelo Honey. Glad I am that we did because it turned out to be the best meal we had on our trip to Chattanooga. We split the Fried Green Tomatoes as a starter, and they were delicious! The only thing I would have liked is a side of the sauce, but the flavor was there, and I really liked the accompanying grits. We split a half chicken order. I had the thigh and wing, which were so juicy and flavorful. It was a simple preparation that really let the flavor of the chicken shine through. I had Brussels sprouts as a side. They were good though a few were underdone. We had some of the pecan pie for dessert. It was good, but it had a strong alcohol aftertaste, which I could have done without. Wouldn't order this again. read more

Great spot. Chicken is their Jam, but they have a limited but diverse menu with breakfast items served throughout the day. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with Green Beans and Goat Cheese Grits and my companion had the Chicken BLT. Both were very good. Calista was our server and did a fantastic job. Parking tip; if you can snag a parking spot in front of the restaurant parking is free for the first 2 hours. Go to the parking kiosk and choose customer and put in your LP# and you're good to go. read more

I wish I had gotten a pic of the chicken and waffles that have been living rent free in my head ever since we tried them. We split an order and they were nice enough to send it to us on two plates - already evenly split - nice touch. It's a modern cool vibe, you can see the cooks in the kitchen working their tails off. I'll be back. read more

Not great. Fried chicken is their specialty, but it's very aggressively seasoned and was not very tender. My husband ordered the breakfast potatoes with his, and couldn't eat them, as they were so salty. I had the chicken breast with spinach and tomatoes, as it was the lowest calorie, least fatty and impactful thing on the menu, and it was fine, but I wouldn't return for it. Service was very good~ efficient and friendly. Moving on. read more

The food was excellent cooked to order good portions well and seasoned. Relaxed atmosphere servers were all friendly and helpful.

I would love to come back to this place! We had to wait to get seated, but since it's in a mall, we just strolled around and a table was available in no time. Service was amazing and both the people and the atmosphere were warm and friendly. The food was great! I'm pretty sure I got the smothered chicken--the amount of food you get for the price you paid for is so worth it, especially since the quality was good. read more

Oh my goodness!! What a delightful lunch we had. The food was delicious, the sauces were amazing! The smashed rosemary potatoes were out of this world The service was great, quick and very friendly. Attentive without being intrusive. The interior was adorable. A must try!! read more

Good food and service while there. My bad forgot to check receipt before I paid. They charged me for a coffee that we didn't get because they didn't have almond milk. So charged for item never received. Remember to check your receipts. read more

Tupelo Honey nails Southern comfort with crispy fried green tomatoes, fluffy biscuits topped with blueberry jam, and shrimp and grits with an African twist. The food felt authentic yet elevated but at a great price. Well worth the visit and we will be back. read more

We came here on a recommendation from a friend who used to live in Chattanooga! We were on a girls trips and visiting at Ruby Falls and wanted to go through Chattanooga and this was a great option! The place is super cute and very welcoming. When we arrived they wanted to seat us at a table that was next to the area where the servers are very active. We asked for a more private booth because there weren't many tables opened and we just wanted something more cozy and private. The host firmly and rudely told my friend no. It was an odd experience and after they exchanged some words, she agreed to place us in a booth, but it did take a good 10-15 min for someone to come get our drink order. Again, it was early and empty, so very strange! HOWEVER, when our waitress did come she was absolutely amazing, made the best suggestions and our food was exactly what we wanted! Definitely get the chicken!!! Everything we ate was amazing and we didn't dessert as well, which I highly recommend!! This would have easily been 5+ stars had it not been for the first part...I would definitely go again! read more

I've wanted to try this place for a while and just never had the occasion to be in the area with some free time and an appetite. So we finally tried it the day after Thanksgiving. All I can say is the food was on the low side of Denny's average. First of all the food was barely warm, always a sign of poor handling in the kitchen. I had the Farmers Omelet and the onions were under cooked and the goat cheese grits could have been good if they were even warm at all. My wife had the chicken and waffles, the waffles were good, although you only got a 1/2 waffle (2 pieces, not 4), and the chicken was way over cooked and so chewy. The service was good and so was the ambiance, thats why this isn't a one star review. Maybe this was an off day for them, but for over $50 w/tip for breakfast I expect the food to actually taste good. We won't be back. read more

Brunch vibes done right! We popped into Tupelo Honey for a quick brunch and left totally impressed. Kicked things off with a spicy Bloody Mary--topped with all kinds of goodies, including bacon (yes, please!)--and it set the tone for a great meal. We sampled a few dishes, but the clear standout was the Nashville hot spicy chicken sandwich--crispy, flavorful, and had just the right amount of kick. Pure Southern comfort with a twist. The decor was fun and fresh, with bright colors and cool touches like old doors and vintage windows repurposed in creative ways. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to walk us through the menu. Only heads-up: parking isn't free, so plan ahead. Otherwise, a solid spot for brunch--drop in and treat yourself to some elevated Southern cooking. We'll be back! read more

Was a meh for me. Went there on a Sunday afternoon for a book club meeting. My seasonal old fashioned (pictured) was $16.50!!! No wonder price was not listed anywhere. Service was slow and inconsistent. I had the biscuits, which were excellent and poblano chicken soup which was good but could have been served warmer. So kind of pricy for a so-so experience. read more

We went here for an early dinner while in town from Cincinnati Ohio. The atmosphere was cook a little fancy meets eclectic. Emily our server took really good care of us. For food we started with the Fried Pickles, my wife and I split Ashville Hot Mac n Cheese Chicken n Waffles and the Fried Green Tomatoes. My daughter had the Classic Chicken n Waffles. I particularly liked the Fried Pickles, they were the size of small potatoe chips, really salty though. The Fried Green Tomatoes were good, very unique and tasty twist for old country classic. The Ashville Hot Mac n Cheese Chicken n Waffles were delicious. Its fried chicken on top of fried mac n cheese on top of a waffle. We actually ordered it with the sirracha honey on the side, which I'm glad we did becsuse it was pretty spicy. Definitely enjoyed the experience. Would probably return next time we come to Chattanooga. read more

Actually, it's been a long time since I've been there, but I do remember enjoying the ambience and the service was good and whatever I ate I really liked it. I do recommend it. I gave it a four just because it's been so long since I've been there things could've changed, but I doubt it. read more

Food was terrible. Service was terrible. I've been to this restaurant in other locations--Asheville, Atlanta, Myrtle beach--it's always excellent, but tonight was just blah. We got there around 8 pm and it was evident that all anyone wanted to do was do their back work and go home. read more

Overall, we had a really good experience. The food had great flavor. I especially enjoyed the shrimp and grits. Even though I know this restaurant is known as a brunch place, I was a bit surprised with the few number of true dinner options on the menu since they're open for dinner hours. While our waiter was good, the hostess left much to be desired. She did not smile or greet us when we walked in And appeared less than thrilled that we were there that evening. I'd love to go back and try their brunch. read more

This is my third time here. Food and the quality of the food is good. Staff is friendly and attentive. The ambience is also nice.

A $14 marg should come with gold flakes. Sure the food was good, but I got the margarita without checking the price because how expensive can it be? It's just a marg. I was also not informed of how to get my parking ticket waived so that was a nice charge on the end of the dinner as well. read more

This place has a lot a different things on the menu to bad I could not try more. But I tried a unique dish Asheville hot Mac & cheese waffles. I thought at first it was going to be a small dish boy was I wrong! The portion size was big and a good deal for the price. I love the spiciness of the sauce. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The shrimp and grits was creamy with some big shrimp in them. The place def has a southern charm about it and our server was nice. read more

Come early or expect to wait because they do get slow because everything is made fresh. Fried chicken is just ok. The melt is amazing with some spicy honey sauce they have if you ask for it on the side. All the vegetables are fresh and good but they have to put so much salt on everything. Ambiance is good. They have some cool fan belt setup and squeaks that did drive me crazy, but the art on the way to the bathroom made up for it. read more
