Dined here recently. Food and service were fine. However, staff did not know how to access gift card purchased on their website,

Had a great time service was amazing our servers were Cassidy and Val they were the best ever with it being 49 mins till closing

This place is absolutely worth the wait if ever there is one. Always a fun atmosphere, can be a little loud at times. Service can also be a bit slow as they are never anything but packed!! So have some patience when you go, but be ready for the food! Get the chicken tortilla soup as an entree, and get the blueberry biscuits with jam and the whipped honey butter. You can thank me later. Place is awesome! read more

Taste: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Tupelo Honey has a really good selection of Southern-inspired dishes and generous portions. The food tasted pretty good across the board, nothing amazing but all good. What really stood out to me was how well the restaurant seems to cater to big groups, the space and service felt really accommodating, making it a great spot for a big family gathering or a work get-together. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a relaxed, group-friendly place with tasty food. read more

My first experience at Tupelo was in Knoxville and I loved it. I took some out of town friends to the Franklin location and it didn't disappoint! Great service from Alex. Very friendly and attentive. One of my friends is Gluten Free and he was quite pleased with the options he had. I did the fried chicken with green beans and cheese grits. My wife did the salmon. Can't wait to return! Nice sized servings and prices as well. read more

There's brunch, and then there's *brunch*. It's one thing to have a lunch menu, and throw in eggs and mimosas. It's quite another thing to put a lot of creativity and effort into what you're serving. That's what Tupelo Honey gives you: *brunch*. I ordered an omelette with steak, cheddar, and mushroom. This was a thick, fold over kind of omelette, stuffed with the filling. You get to customize your own omelette here, with plenty of choices. The steak was good, but nothing compared to the steak in my wife's steak and eggs. Wow was that good. The crispy potatoes were absurdly good. Made with a touch of rosemary and Parmesan cheese, I found myself going "mmm, mmm" with each bite. Less great were the cheesy grits, which were merely OK. But, that was still better than the biscuits, which I ordered and never received. The Bloody Mary was terrific. Just enough spice, with olives and bacon to make it a meal in a glass. My wife's peach mimosa was also very good. If I come back for lunch or dinner, I see that they have a fully stocked bar with plenty of draft beer selections. The service wasn't great. I ordered a large Bloody Mary, and got a regular sized one. The kitchen messed up my friend's vegan sausage (twice) but he liked what they eventually brought out. At least the food came out fairly quickly. I like the care with which they assemble the meals, and I would definitely come back here for brunch. I would also be willing to try Tupelo Honey for any meal, for that matter. The mediocre service took away from things a bit, but not enough to keep me away. read more

Food was great, but service was outstanding. Brought us back for a second visit while on vacation. Shout out to Zaid and Phillip

Hmm... it was good enough to go back and try another item on the menu, but I was expecting more. Maybe had I went with no expectations, then I might have given 5 stars. The burger was just okay. Good burger, but nothing spectacular... worth $15? Not again... I will stick with the chicken and waffles. We had the dark meat with the sweet & spicy sauce in the side. Wish we got the half bird because it was fried perfectly. Enjoyed the light crispy crunch and juicy interior. Definitely will try it with the original next time. For a starter, we had the brussel sprouts. It was good with a little bit of the sauce, but I'm not a fan of blue cheese. That bit of crumble stayed on the plate drowning in the orange-colored gravy / sauce. Hubby enjoyed his free refills of Coca-Cola. lol That isn't as common nowadays. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Gracie isn't a name I've heard since 8th grade. She was fantastic and very likeable! We liked the updated interior and simple decor... felt comfortable like going to a friend's house. Simple menu. Their chicken and potatoes are the shining star! read more

I really had high expectations for Tupelo after seeing the great reviews. My shrimp and grits looked really good but it didn't taste that great. Not sure if there was chorizo in it but it was saturated in oil. My husband's hot chicken and waffles made up for it. That was really spicy and good. Our waitress seemed really rushed though. We ordered banana pudding and that was really runny. Flavor was there but it definitely needed to set. I have to say Our drinks were great. read more

This was a new breakfast spot for us in Franklin. The location is super convenient since it's right across the street from the hotel we stay at many times. The restaurant is very large and for those not strolling in from the hotel, there's plenty of parking. The food was excellent! I really enjoyed the Farmhouse Breakfast Platter with grits. Like most places in the Nashville area, the biscuits were great. There were 9 of us at breakfast, including 2 kids, and we all thought the food and service was very good! read more

Good and service very poor. Chicken was overcooked, burnt. Very dry. Very disappointing for what I paid read more

A cute brunch spot conveniently located near a few hotels and offices. I came for dinner and was surprised that the menu seemed to be the same as a normal brunch menu (lots of breakfast items / mimosas on the dinner menu). I ordered the original fried chicken (breast and two legs). The fried chicken was really good but it came out extremely fast and had the texture / temp like it had been sitting under a warmer for awhile. Had this been fresh, it would have been amazing and gotten an extra star or two. The Mac and cheese was pretty good with a Cajun / tomato undertone. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Overall, if back in the area I would make an effort to try other places over this. However, I am guessing their brunch is better than dinner (it kind of felt like leftover vibes for a late meal). That being said, if you're staying in a local hotel and looking for a decent enough meal nearby it's definitely an option that will satiate modest expectations. read more

This is usually a good place to eat. I called in for a pick up order. When I picked up my order, my sides were not in my bag. I had to drive back to pick it up and when I got them, they were cold. My fries seemed like they just reheated them. They were hard and not edible! read more

We had our reservation for 12:15. Didn't get greeted or asked for drinks for about a half hour. No server even checked their section that we were in that is not proactive enough for service. And we didn't get our food until 1:35. The food was a mess when it came out all confused. The floor wasn't even busy when we arrived. I wrote this at the table after food came out so unsure on the rest. Come at your own risk. read more

As a business traveler depend on Yelp for restaurant choices. In Nashville from DC decided to go here for lunch around 12:30. Tried to order Parmesan fries but wait person said they were out. Ordered their signature menu item the fried chicken and she returned minutes later to declare they are out of fried chicken. Also ordered biscuits and never made it to table. Two points to make: how can they be out of their signature fried chicken? Why didn't the waitress already know ? Ended up with the most boring cob salad and tasteless chicken breast. Additionally, not busy at all but very slow at serving drinks and food. Great disappointment and felt bad for insisting to coworker Yelp has high rating for this restaurant. read more

My dad and I recently visited Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar while on a Spring Break daddy-daughter trip. Orange Cinnamon Roll Old Fashioned: I love a good Old Fashioned, so I knew I wanted to try this. It was definitely sweeter than most Old Fashioneds, but the taste was very flavorful. The cinnamon syrup truly came through and the brown sugar rim (or maybe it was raw sugar) was a nice twist. Famous Fried Green Tomatoes: This appetizer order came with 3 fried green tomatoes atop a plate of heirloom grits, drizzled with roasted red pepper sauce. The grits were super creamy and flavorful, and paired well with the fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes added the perfect amount of crunch and "tang" along with the roasted red pepper sauce. Bourbon Peppercorn Glazed Meatloaf: I was very intrigued by this meatloaf because of the combination of beef and chorizo. Let me tell you, it was a very meaty meatloaf, but it was well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. The bourbon glaze gave a nice hint of sweetness. The meatloaf came with 2 sides, and I selected the Rosemary & Parmesan Crispy Potatoes and Salt & Pepper Crispy Brussels Sprouts. The potatoes were super crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and were generously seasoned with rosemary. The brussels sprouts were awesome. This was a LARGE meal, so I had more than enough to take home for leftovers. My Dad tried the Comfort Duo: a classic grilled cheese and tomato soup. There was nothing left on his plate at the end of the meal, so I think it is safe to say he enjoyed it. The restaurant is HUGE, so they can accommodate larger-sized parties. The service was friendly and swift. Kudos to them for a wonderful experience! #ImNotAFoodie #ImJustAGirlWhoLovesFood #YelpEliteSquad read more

First time dining for dinner and it was decent. Portion sizes were average for the price range. Onion ring appetizer was about ten bucks and was enough for two people to get a few. Smashburger was average, was a little dry and flavorless. My wife had the sweet and spicy chicken sandwich and she enjoyed it with a side of macaroni and cheese. Service was decent, but there was a large function so I wouldn't rate it given it was not the normal night. Glad we got a chance to try, not sure I'd return. read more

Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar - Menu - Southern Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Tupelo Honey was the (almost) perfect birthday lunch spot. Although the menu is mostly giving brunch they do have a few good lunch/dinner options. They weren't too busy for a Friday lunch so my dad and I were seated quickly. They had open patio seating but we chose a booth inside. The service was great and offered good recommendations. We ordered the fried green tomatoes as a starter and they tasted sooo good! The standout was the red pepper coulis and the hot crispy tomatoes of course! My only complain about this dish was that the coulis and the grits were a lukewarm. For entrees I got the blackened Mahi with rosemary and Parmesan crispy potatoes and my dad got the Smokey mountain flat iron with Brussel sprouts. The Mahi was definitely a star! Juicy, flakey, and swimming in a lukewarm basil citrus butter sauce. Again I wish the sauce was hot it just brings the dish together. My dad's steak was ordered medium it came out extremely pink. My dad is not one to send food back but he had to this time. The staff was very kind about it and worked on bringing him a replacement steak. Sadly the new and cooked to perfection new steak took about 30 minutes to arrive and did not come out with the sauce that was supposed to go on it. Literally a lonely steak on the plate. Considering how the first steak was incorrect on their part I would've appreciated a bit more intent in getting the replacement served properly. All in all, it was a nice lunch. Would definitely recommend if you're in the Franklin area. read more

Went on a Friday early evening and it wasn't busy. Hostess was great! Our server Brody was great also and they both get 4 stars! Bummed to find out their Happy Hour is now Monday-Thursday only. I was there back in December and used to be Fridays. Pretty good HH menu. Cocktails were good and biscuits look dry but they aren't. Really good biscuits, however their jelly component was meh. Not great, very syrupy and won't stick to the biscuit. So had honey instead and butter was hard as a rock. Definitely get Fried Green Tomato's- delicious and fried well and comes with grits. Wish they added more of the sauce. Now the issue we had was that entrees didn't come out till 30-35 mins after the biscuits. That's a long time and honestly the place didn't crowd up till after our order was in for like 15 mins. They say said it was because Fried Chicken takes time however I have been to plenty of restaurants where it's their specialty and that's not the case. The chicken was great along with the fried okra and Rosemary potatoes. However we asked for dark chicken and got a leg, thigh and a chicken breast (white). At that pt we just wanted to have dinner and didn't want to bring it up. Kiddo liked his waffles and bacon. Bacon was good and so were waffles. Great portion for a kid. Overcharged $1 for the milk, but didn't bring it up. Good food, service but just issues with how long it took to get our meal. Despite that would be back but probably be back. read more

Food was good. Service was not. We had a table of 9 call ahead for lunch while in town for a business conference. Once we arrived they said they didn't get our reservation, but could accommodate us. It was empty since we arrived shortly after opening so we were sat right away. A lot of things we had to go to the bar to grab or ask another server. However, once we all got our meals the food was good. No complaints on any of the meals just wish our server was more attentive. read more

The restaurant itself was nice and clean. The staff members were very friendly and helpful. However the food fell flat. It was a long wait on the food even though it wasn't busy which wasn't that big of the problem but our food was nothing like we expected. Surf and turf tasted like a roast. Salmon was decent with little seasoning and didn't taste fresh. The Mac and cheese was very bland. the collard greens were TOUGH. However the peach don't kill my vibe was a save. That was the best thing I had. Honestly if I hadn't just driven almost 4 hours I would have left and gotten something else. read more

The food was fantastic! I had the blackened mahi mahi with the cursory potatoes and collard greens. However, our server negatively impacted our experience--he wasn't attentive, and we had to follow up on our drinks. Our food arrived before the appetizer we ordered, and we didn't even have silverware, which took longer than it should have to receive after requesting it. We ultimately had to ask other servers for assistance. Service plays a major role in the dining experience, so I hope it improves if I decide to visit again. read more
