Debated 4 or 5 stars. My lunch was quite good, but it's not so much to judge on, one person one meal. However, it was SO tasty, service was fine, very nice atmosphere and decent prices. It's a great place to go to get a lot of southern comfort foods, some with nice twists as well, and it has a full bar, and open for all meals I believe. We went years ago to the first location in Knoxville, maybe a few times, but felt "been there done that" as more and more good restaurants came downtown. Happy to see this new location, closer to a lot of things we do in west Knox. I had a GREAT lunch. Bloody Mary, then one of their low-cost specials ($11 for a half sandwich and side, basically). The sandwich was hot chicken with ranch and pickles and it was scrumptious. I had a problem choosing sides- so many great options including brussel sprouts, fried okra, Mac&cheese and salads.....I finally chose the green beans with bacon. Oh, they were soooo good. I could have made my meal just that and some cornbread. Next time I may get a veggie platter or just get extra sides, gotta try the others to see if they are cooked as well. So how can I not give that 5 stars? read more

We have been to other locations, but this was our first visit to the Farragut site. We arrived around 7pm on a Tuesday and it was not too noisy for us to have a conversation with our friends. The service was good and our meals came out quickly. The four of us each had a different entree and everyone was pleased. Some people might say that the price is high, but we are ok with the slightly higher price for the quality and quantity we received. If so, then go at lunch because the prices are lower on that menu. (And, they just released a summer promo of 2 for $22.) By 8pm, the place was almost empty except for a few large parties outside on the porch. read more

Good service and good food! We sat outside on the covered patio and they had bean bags for the kids to play while we waited for food. The fried chicken was crisp, tenders were okay. Fried pickles were breaded with cornmeal for a thicker breading. The goat cheese grits were good, but not my favorite and the Brussels were super crispy and delicious. They also had the cutest cups (they sell them)! read more

Jana was an excellent server, who made our dining experience very enjoyable. She offered great entree recommendations and we were not disappointed. The grilled harvest chicken was my personal favorite dish, however everything we tried was delicious. Highly recommend Tupelo Honey. read more

We were on a business trip, and stopped in on Valentines Day evening with no reservation. They sat us quickly at the bar. The bar tender was so friendly and smart. I was asking him questions about making drinks, and he was very open to speaking to me. We had the fried green tomatoes, chicken, and another sandwich. Everything was delicious Also, the restaurant was very calm and managed well. Lots of staff to handle anything you needed. It wasn't too loud in there too, which was nice after a busy day. read more

Tupelo Honey - Chicken - American Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

I brought some friends to the soft launch of Tupelo Honey's new location in Biddle Farms. It's a beautiful new restaurant in Farragut and a great addition. It wasn't too loud even though it was full and has open ceilings. It has good natural lighting and a comfortable, yet modern feel. The hostess and waitress were very nice and knowledgeable. They were prompt with delivering our drinks and food. They did forget straws a few times, but considering they just opened no big deal. The food was all delicious. Stand outs were the biscuits with peach compote, fried green tomatoes, fries, waffles. The chicken was a little dry, but the breading was perfect. The bacon was delicious. All the sauces were great. The bread options on sandwiches were all delicious. Overall, for a soft launch it was phenomenal. You couldn't tell it just opened. Super minor things to fix. Can't wait to come back and bring my family! read more

We finally made it to Tupelo Honey and had such a great experience! We started with the fried green tomatoes and fried pickles--both were perfectly crispy and flavorful. The fried green tomatoes came with that zesty sauce that tied everything together, and the pickles were crunchy, salty, and addictive. For mains: Jack ordered the kids' meal cheeseburger with a side of mac & cheese. The burger was the perfect size and full of flavor, and the mac & cheese was creamy and cheesy--exactly what a kid (or adult!) wants. David went with the fried chicken strips, which were juicy and crispy, paired with three dipping sauces: honey mustard, ranch, and their signature sweet & spicy sauce. His green beans with bacon were smoky and delicious. I chose the steak strips, cooked tender and flavorful, with rosemary & parmesan potatoes that were crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and a fresh house salad on the side. You gotta try their Lovely Blueberry Lemonade it was our favorite. We couldn't leave without dessert, so we shared the banana pudding. Creamy, layered just right, and topped with whipped cream, it was the perfect Southern finish. We absolutely loved everything about our visit--the food, the flavors, the staff and the cozy vibe. We're already excited to go back and try even more from the menu! read more

Extremely disappointing experience at Tupelo Honey. I ordered the pulled pork, only to be told after placing my order that they were out of it. I then ordered a chicken breast instead, and a manager came over to inform me they were out of that as well. To make up for it, the manager offered a complimentary dessert. However, when I asked for cheesecake, I was told they were out of that too! At that point, it felt like they were out of everything. The most frustrating part is that none of this was communicated upfront. Customers should be informed immediately about menu items that are unavailable rather than finding out one item at a time after ordering. Poor inventory management and poor communication made for a very frustrating dining experience. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this restaurant based on this visit. read more

Atmosphere was terrific, the food was delicious and the best part was the amazing biscuits and blueberry jam. Absolutely incredible all the way around! The hospitality was truly amazing and we enjoyed every minute. read more

Tupelo Honey - American Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Nice and airy inside... big patio area.. friendly greeting and server was very good and quick to get water and menus.. very attentive and great at suggestions. We started off with a Bloody Mary as the ones at Market Square in Knoxville are " the BEST" and still are. Not the choice in flavors and making that big yummy stuffed full of lunch Bloody Mary... market square offers. Lunch was good .. Chicken and Waffles were again ok... but would not be a pick again. I had Avocado melt half sand which on multigrain with a side salad which both were delightfully good! We did have fried pickles for an appitizer... and they were good .. but again... I feel the atmosphere, vibe and food is different from my expierence at Market Square... to be fair I haven't been to the Market Square, Tupelo Honey in a year... only because Knoxville and Farragut have grown so much and are offering all kinds of new restaurants so I've been experiencing the new fares offered.... I plan on making a trip over to Market Square just to see if they have changed their menu and hopefully not their bloody Mary's ! We enjoyed our lunch but again in comparison .... I have to give it three stars rather than five. This has nothing to do with the service. It was wonderful. This ultimately is just about comparing this one to the one in market Square .... And what the menu here has to offer. ...... I was asked by the owner for a comparison on the bloody Mary's from market Square to the Tupelo honey in Farragut.... Here is the difference.... Many many options. AI Overview .... QUEEN MARY A FAV... and choice of mixed The types of Bloody Marys available at Tupelo Honey are the Black Pepper Mary, with Dixie Black Pepper Vodka; the Queen Mary, a loaded version with bacon, shrimp, and jalapenos; and the Bloody Maria, which substitutes tequila for vodka. All versions use the restaurant's house-made bloody mary mix and are served with garnishes like pimento cheese-stuffed olives, pickled okra, and a lemon. Tupelo Honey Bloody Mary options Black Pepper: Features Dixie Black Pepper Vodka and a chili salt rim. Queen Mary: A classic Bloody Mary enhanced with a substantial garnish of bacon, shrimp, pickled jalapenos, a green bean, and a cherry tomato. Bloody Maria: A twist on the classic that uses tequila (such as El Jimador) instead of vodka and has a lime salt rim. Classic: The standard version of the cocktail is built on Tupelo Honey's house-made mix and is garnished with pimento cheese-stuffed olives, pickled okra, and a lemon. read more

Tupelo Honey - Spicy Bloody Mary .. $15.00 - American Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

We sat in the bar bartender was very attentive. She did a great job, keeping up with us. It was Sunday. We were a bit early for our bloody Mary and mimosa so we went ahead and ordered breakfast and by the time we got breakfast and was a third of the way through it is time to order the bloody Mary in the mimosa flight. I'm not a huge fan of the traditional mimosa, which is why I did the flight so I could try all flavors and I was very pleased to find the Appalachian mimosa very good and a new favorite. We love the downtown location of Tupelo Honey, but we love how roomie and airy the Farragut location is we never feel like we're just packed in like sardines. I had the biscuits and gravy unfortunately the biscuit was very heavy and dry but scrambled eggs were good. Husband got the omelette add chorizo in it could've used a little bit more chorizo. read more

Homecoming week on a Friday nite game with no reservations. PACKED inside. Greeted by a hostess with a beautiful smile who explained the seating challenges. No worries, we will eat outside on the sizable patio. Didn't factor no heat lamps for the cool weather...suck up buttercup! Wait staff was FLYING...well except our person. No straws for drinks, no setups for biscuits, wandered around at the speed of ____ a marked difference. Enough annoyance about the waiter who brings my check at the speed of light...but not my drinks..... Farmer's breakfast plentiful, but honey...that's not Texas toast...it WAS good , especially with the blueberry and peach preserves. Eggs served as ordered, I thought the potatoes were tasty. Dark meat chicken with side of Brussel sprouts with cup of poplano soup..the soup was INSANE good! Chicken crispy, and moist. Disappointing service, but food was good...we will return to see if the service improves read more

This Tupelo Honey is just... not as good as it's downtown restaurant. I tried it twice, near when it first opened and then a few months later. my food was messed up both times and the staff were unprofessional (1st server spilt drinks on our table, 2nd was dressed down and couldn't bother to check on us.) The location is good, but I hate to see this area get even busier than it was before, just for this restaurant to be overpriced for what you're getting read more

They have a great happy hour. It includes half off appetizers. I am a bar sitter. Their bartenders are awesome. Austin, Jules, and Tyrone all know what they are doing. Wednesday night is half-price wine by the bottle. And their lunch specials are perfect. You can get in and out for under $15 including tip. The fried chicken is off the chain good. If youhaven't checked out this little spot in the heart of Farragut you need to give it a try. read more

I don't always drink whiskey with breakfast, but when I do, it's the flight of old fashions at Tupelo Honey. I went here with my daughter and grand dogs, Elbert and Sally. Yes dogs are always welcome on the patio. - Sidebar if dogs need to stay on leashes kids should too. - we started with biscuits for a cause. Sorry, I don't remember the charity but they've raised, I think over $850,000. My daughter got the chicken and waffles. They looked amazing. The glaze they put on the chicken is awesome. I got the mountain morning bowl. I liked it very much. But I did have order looking at my daughter's chicken and waffles. She got a bloody Mary. She loved it. I got the old-fashioned flight. I loved it. Each was yummy in their own way. I forgot to mention the blueberry jam. If you have a sweet tooth like I do, you will love the blueberry jam. We ate most of the blueberry jam on the biscuits, but had a little left. I put that in one of my old fashions. Genius!! Great vibe. Big open deck. Walking through the indoor seating. I just got a great fun crowd vibe everyone we met that worked at Tupelo Honey was pleasant and professional. This was a great visit read more

Service is good- very kind staff. Food is good although the fried pickles were a little too salty for our table. The friend green tomatoes were good to share; the kids meal is a good size and the place itself was clean and nice for a Monday night family dinner. read more

I know this place is popular, but after dining here, im sorry, i just dont get it. Premium prices for fried chicken, grits & small serving of banana pudding. You can get good fried chicken n grits anywhere for more reasonable prices. I will say servers are friendly & attentive. Ambience: noisy. read more

Tupelo Honey - American Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

We met traveling family for lunch at the Farragut Tupelo Honey today. Everything was delicious. We got biscuits for the table and everyone raved about the blueberry jam. We all enjoyed our meals with positive comments on the iced tea, fried chicken, hot chicken, okra and brussels. Good value, especially with the lunch specials. Great, attentive server. Nice atmosphere. We'll be back. read more

We started off the new year with a brunch at Tupelo Honey. The atmosphere was great, and it would be an idle spot to take the girls for drinks and catching up. Service was a little slow with our waiter coming back often to recheck what we ordered. We started with the biscuits and blueberry jam. The biscuits were cold and a little hard, but the jam was delicious. My husband got the spicy chicken sandwich which he said laced seasoning and wasn't really on the spicy side. I have the sweet potato pancake, which was interesting, but I probably wouldn't order it again. Nothing was bad, we just probably wouldn't go back unless we were invited with friends. read more

I've been to other tupelo honey restaurants and this is one of the better ones. The staff is friendly and the food was good.

Don't know how long they have been open, but they don't have their act together. We waited 25minutes to be seated in a restaurant that had lots of empty tables. Then after we were finally seated we waited another 15 minutes before waitress came started taking the order of the people next to us. I interrupted her and told her we had been seated for over 15 minutes. She went to find out who had our table and that took another ten minutes. read more

We have now been to this restaurant twice. Both times the service was abysmally bad. The servers did a poor job of keeping track of what was going on at our table, and, we're very often not to be found. Getting drink refills was a challenge. In addition, it has been a flip of the coin whether or not an appetizer would show up before the main course, or, at all. Having said this, I will say that the food, when it finally arrives, is quite good. It is generous portions, and prepared very well. read more

The restaurant itself was very nice but maybe a little crowded? Not so much because of space but more because of the noise level. My husband ordered fried chicken with fries and I ordered a side salad with the onions on the side and the dunk and dip which is grilled cheese and tomato soup. The server seemed to have a real hard time hearing us I'm not sure if it was because of the noise level or like me maybe she is hard of hearing. Not real sure but it seemed to be a bit of a struggle. She was very nice just seemed to be having a hard time that morning. The chicken was by far the best thing we ate that day. Everything else was just ok. The salad dressing tasted good but had a major heat on the back end. I planned to share the salad with my husband which is why I got the onions on the side as he likes onions and I do not, but we never got them. But for some reason I ended up with two bowls of soup due to a mix up in the kitchen. We didn't really care for the fries which are done in an air frier? Just not a great flavor or texture so won't order those next time. I will be back if only for the fried chicken but I will try to go on a day other than Sunday as the noise level was really a lot read more

We had a wonderful experience at Tupelo Honey. My husband and I are Gluten Free and our server John was most accommodating. He went over the whole menu with us. We opted for the Whiskey Onion Smash Burger and since it has two patties on it. The chef Luis made mine like a lettuce wrap and brought my husbands on a gluten free bun. Both were delicious. We also had the tomato bisque which was very good. I would certainly recommend Tupelo Honey and John as your server. read more

I love Tupelo honey and have been to many locations. I was very excited about this one as it's closest to my home. They did not deliver. The service was horrible, the banana pudding came out HOT. Disgusting and melted. This was not pudding. Ordered a bowl of soup and they legit maybe put two bites in the bowl. Sizing is way off and the chicken lacked flavor. Don't recommend this location- it's worth the drive to go dowtown. read more

The $15 margarita was awful; I am not sure what was wrong with it, but it made me gag when I took even a sip. The waitress made herself impossible to find. She slipped the bill on the table when I was not looking so I put my drink right next to my the bill holder with my money inside. I had put $50 in cash in with the bill which was $41.00. I had not planned on tipping as much as I usually do because of the bad/non-existent service. She took the bill holder when I was not looking and never asked if I wanted change. She came back to take my friends' payment, and I told her that I could not even drink the margarita. She said she was sorry but she had already rung it up so she could not refund it now. The smashed hamburger was ok, but the sandwich had over 20 slices of dill pickle on it. I brought home what I did not eat, but I threw it away today because it was just not that good when it was freshly cooked. read more

My husband ordered the morning breakfast bowl and the food was barely warm. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and fries. The fries were cold -- not even room temp. The waitress was not helpful when asked about items on the menu and a little on the rude side. We ran of drink and asked for more tea and we were finished eating before she brought more tea. No southern hospitality at the Farragut location. read more

First time here. Walked in at 12:30 was told to wait 15 minutes so they could clean off a table, when approx 8 tables were empty and clean. Waited 10-12 minutes watching others walk in and be seated in front of us. The two young girls running the front on their phones while completely ignoring us. Attentive to food order pick up services, but not to customers coming inside in person. Assuming this is an indication to the rest of the services offered, we walked out. Not recommended. read more

Service was excellent! (Danielle). We couldn't have asked for a better server! Cobb salad. A bowl of greens, red onions, grape tomatoes, bacon bits, hard boiled egg, cheese sprinkles, and a small scoop of avocado mash. $14.99 Add one scoop chicken salad $6.00 Honey mustard dressing In my opinion not worthy of the supposed incredible reputation of Tupelo Honey Coffee: $3.50. No flavor. Actually just brown hot water 20% tip for great service I would bypass this place and travel on to Restaurants in Turkey Creek. read more
