    Chicken tenders, goat cheese grits, and Brussels.
    Heather B.

    As a native Alabamian, I'm always up for some southern cooking. I was planning on this being as sweet as Van promised! We really enjoyed our Saturday afternoon meal! It's a lovely restaurant. It seems a bit out of the way with mostly corporate buildings around. The restaurant has a nice modern aesthetic. I like the purple hyacinths hanging from the ceiling in one area. It was very steady for an off time in the afternoon. First, our server Olivia was amazing! Very attentive and we were extra needy this day so I really appreciate her patience. We even dropped food on the floor. Oops! She was so nice about it and cleaned it up immediately. We had customizations and extra requests. No problem for her! She went above and beyond. I hope she sees this because she was such a joy! The food was also very good. We started with the biscuits and one peach compote and one blueberry. Both were yummy. They were traditional drop biscuits and I love a good biscuit! We also had an order of fried green tomatoes on goat cheese grits. You get 4 very large slices. I could only eat one. The grits were yummy but there were not enough of them in relation to the friend green tomatoes. They were also encased by a sauce. I'm guessing a remoulade. I don't really care for remoulade sauce so I'd have removed it had I known it came with the dish. It really overpowered the goat cheese taste in the grits. The tomatoes were very al dente and I would have preferred them cooked a bit more. The dish was still good but my least favorite and I would normally love anything with those ingredients and fried green tomatoes are a favorite so the remoulade (or whatever it was) sauce was a real problem for me. I would definitely get them again without the sauce because they are great otherwise. But that sauce just overpowers every other flavor! I got the chicken tender dinner and others in my party got the bone in fried chicken. Everyone liked their chicken. The tenders were a big size. 4 of them but I hit 2 meals out of them. Everyone liked the Parmesan rosemary potatoes. I really liked the bacon green beans. The only side we weren't impressed with was the Mac and cheese unfortunately. The cheese was not good. We got coffees and a chai. All of them were very good. A bit pricey for the amount you get though. Even with the smaller complaints, I'd still give th a 5 because of the outstanding service and the dishes were overall very good and large portions. We will definitely return and I hope to try out a breakfast item next visit!

    Legitimately one of my favorite brunch spots. I've visited twice now when in town and the food is phenomenal each time! The morning glory bowl is so good and can be modified to accommodate a vegetarian diet with soy-sage. The side mac n cheese is also to die for, highly recommend!

    Great service and great food! Our servers are always so nice and welcoming. Wonderful place if you have children as well! I also love that they have lots of non-alcoholic options! Thank you, Sabrina for lots of smiles and a good time

    Another great experience at Tupelo Honey. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. I ordered the chicken tenders and enjoyed every bite.

    Tomato soup, chicken and waffle, banana pudding which
    Yesenia M.

    Tupelo Honey had been on my list for a while, and it definitely lived up to the hype. I visited during Restaurant Week and had the tomato soup, classic chicken and waffles, and banana pudding, all were delicious with zero complaints. The atmosphere was beautiful, service was excellent, and we were seated immediately with a reservation. What really stood out was the attention to detail. Our entrée came out a bit too quickly while we were still enjoying our soup, and without us saying anything, a server noticed and replaced my chicken and waffles so it wouldn't sit while I finished my appetizer. As a foodie, that level of care truly impressed me. Great food, great service, and an experience I won't forget. I'll definitely be back.

    I want to love this place. Truly. I visited the Nashville location and was blown away--amazing food, great service, the whole package. So when Tupelo Honey opened in Lenexa City Center, I was excited to make it a regular spot. But after four visits... yikes. Each time has come with major issues. Most recently, I sat at the bar with a friend. We placed our food order, chatted, waited... and waited. Thirty minutes later, the server came back and asked if we were ready to order. Turns out our order was never entered in the system, so the clock on our meal basically started over. For a late lunch with only two people at the bar, it should not take nearly two hours to eat. Unfortunately, the food itself hasn't made up for the experience. It's been consistently subpar, especially for the price point. One visit during the lunch hour, my server even told me not to order the dish I wanted because "people complain about it." I mean... who says that? I'm still holding out hope. It's a new location, and new restaurant wrinkles happen. I just really hope they sort out the service issues and bring the quality up to what I loved in Nashville. I know Tupelo Honey can shine--they're just not there yet.

    Homestyle Brunch, Southern Hospitality meets Fresh and Flavorful! We were a party of 6 that did not all arrive on time. Bekah was friendly, warm and attentive. My partner was a bit critical of me when I ordered Fried Green Tomatoes, Okra, and Fries before anyone else arrived, but a few minutes later he was quiet when he was happily munching on the starters. If arrive for brunch, get there before noon or have a reservation on Sunday. By 1230 the place was packed. The only seats were at the bar and high top tables. The bartender was nice and attentive. The food is flavorful, full flavor without being heavy. The drinks are great, I think the iced mocha tied with the mega mimosa for the table favorites. Mississippi Mud Pie was good and could have traveled well had i not finished it.

    This time my gf and I sat in a booth and it was very comfy. Andy was our server and what personality! He had pizazz, was thorough and so personable. He made our stay very pleasant. I enjoyed my entree and drink as did my counterpart. My sweet potato pancakes tasted exactly like sweet potatoes, my bacon cooked perfectly and the potatoes although I added salt were crispy and tender. I was able to taste my friends mac&cheese and it was creamy cheesiness. She gets the same thing everytime so her chicken, greens were exactly what she recalled and loves! We both loved the biscuits and both jams - peach and blueberry!

    Fried chicken, Brussels sprouts and fried okra

    Went for lunch on Good Friday, liked the location and area, parking was easy. Very clean and fresh dinning area, server was happy and attentive. Fried chicken was very good, it had a little wait for the chicken but was worth it. Okra was fresh and decent. Brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly "southern style, but was missing a glaze or drizzle of something. Chicken salad sandwich was well plated. salad and salad dressing (apple vinaigrette) was decent, chicken on the chicken salad was a little dry also needed some kind of sauce. Great place totally worth going holding out from giving them 5 stars, but their fried chicken I would have given them 6 stars.

    Biscuit for a Cause with the blueberry jam. Also comes with a choice of peach or milk gravy for an extra $1.

    Tupelo Honey has become one of my favorite "anytime brunch" spots. The vibe is relaxed, Southern, and welcoming in that way where you just feel like you've made a good choice for the day. The menu is full of comfort classics with a twist, and everything I've tried has tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. One thing I always recommend: the Biscuits for a Cause. They're tender, buttery, and exactly what a biscuit should be, but they also support Tupelo Honey's employee relief and development funds. It feels good to treat yourself while also contributing to a place that takes care of its people. Service has always been friendly and the pace is unhurried in a nice way, like brunch should be. Whether you want something hearty, something sweet, or just a reason to linger over coffee, this is the spot. Highly recommend for brunch lovers, biscuit lovers, and anyone who appreciates Southern comfort done right.

    I have been here several times now. The food is always outstanding, but the service is NOT great. Our last visit was on Father's Day. It wasn't super busy, yet we weren't asked for our order for 45min. When we placed our order I had asked for a refill of water...but she never came back. I tried getting someone else's attention, but they didn't hear me. About 30 min later someone came around and finally refilled our glasses. Food was still nowhere to be seen. It would have been really nice to have had someone come over to us and let us know the status of our order. Our food finally arrived...it only took 2 hours!!!!!! I really love the food, but due to the service we may not be coming back...makes me sad.

    We were looking for a good brunch spot on a recent Sunday to entertain some out-of-town guests, and had heard good things about Tupelo Honey, so decided to pop in and give it a try! Nice location, just a couple minutes off the interstate, and in an up-and-coming, very popular area of the west KC 'burbs! There's plenty of parking on the north side of the restaurant when you arrive. Upon entering, we were very wowed and impressed with the facility and decor! There's a beautiful decorative wall inside the foyer, and some beautiful floral decorations hanging from the ceiling above the entry to the restaurant! Even though it wasn't as busy as we'd expected for 11:00 on a Sunday morning, we were forced to settle for a hightop table with booth seating on one side, and wooden chairs on the other. A large section of normal seating was blocked off as reserved, and remained that way most of our stay. The menu is pretty large, and has a lot of southern-themed dishes, covering breakfast, brunch, and lunch-type items! Our table ordered a pretty decent variety of appetizers and entrees, and we all tried each other's! Unfortunately, the food was split right down the middle: some was pretty good, some was a pretty big disappointment. Positive highlights included the chicken and waffles, an omelette, the smash burger, and the side potatoes. Lowlights included the biscuits (very hard and crunchy...almost stale-like), side brussels sprouts, biscuit sandwich, and overall portion size for price. There was enough on the positive side for us to be interested in trying it again, but we were definitely disappointed with a couple of the breakfast "standards" being so sub-par. The plates and glasses used are cute and fun, and add to the southern vibe! The service was average at our table; attentive, but only just so. One of our orders was delivered incorrectly. I'm totally struggling on the overall feel here: it's a beautiful facility and vibe, but the food (the main reason you come!) was somewhere between "decent" and "good"...only one dish was near-great. We'll do some further research and recon, and update on the next go-round! Food = 3/5 Facility = 4/5 Service = 2/5 Ambiance = 3/5 Value = 2/5

    Me and a couple friends came here for lunch. When we walked in the front door there was a very cute wall with greenery and fall leaves and pumpkins. Then saw that part of the ceiling had greenery and flowers hanging. So pretty! I was surprised how busy it was during the week. Very cute place. Industrial glam type feel. The bathrooms are super cute with individual stalls that have sinks as well. The server came and took our order pretty quickly. I've always wanted to try chicken and waffles so that's what I ordered. It was good. A little salty from the chicken and a little sweet from the waffles which were dusted with powdered sugar. The skin was crunchy and full of flavor and the inside was tender but a tad on the dry side. The server was nice and gave me a to go cup with my iced tea that I didn't even ask for. I will probably be back to try something else on the menu.

    Do they have a private room for parties?

    I did not see any type of separate room so I don't believe so.

    Do you serve breakfast all day?

    Hey Jennifer, Some breakfast items are on their menu as 'all-day items'. There were also various breakfast/brunch items on the menu for late day.

    Two dishes in, both winners. The ancho woodfired chicken salad -- charred corn, black beans,…read morecotija, crisp tortilla strips, chipotle-honey vinaigrette -- had the right balance of smoky, sweet, and crunchy, and the chicken itself was cooked perfectly. The other standout was the raspberry coconut chicken: crispy coconut-breaded tenders draped in a raspberry coulis with toasted almonds on top, sitting over a creamy slaw. Sweet and savory done right, though heads up if you're dairy-sensitive -- that slaw is loaded. Portions are generous, flavors are bold without being over the top, and everything tasted made-to-order rather than assembly-line. Will definitely be back to work through the rest of the menu. Also, the service was outstanding and it was a really clean ambience so if you've never been here.

Eventually the get us seated in the main area. My wife ordered mashed potatoes and green beans as sides, and the mashed potatoes were cold. They took those back to fix, so we each tried some of her green beans. We both looked at each other in shock and said "These taste like fish!" Plus they were cold, so cold fish green beans. So when they brought out the warmed mashed potatoes we mentioned that, and they grabbed those to fix up, and asked us to check our steak. They were supposed to be medium, but were rare. So they took the steaks and my fries (the only thing edible so far). After 10 minutes the steaks were back, and looked good, along with a new order of the green beans, and we each got a replacement flame singed sliver of bread. So we taste the green beans, and now they taste like warm fish. So we got the manager again and I asked if they ever taste any of this stuff, and she didn't really know what to say. She said they'd take it off our bill, and we could have a free desert. Okay so back to the steaks, which were cooked right but too salty now. And that's when I realized they never brought back my fries. So we flag them down again, and eventually get the fries, which are good. The desert menu is a bunch of uninteresting goo, but we settle on something and get it to go. I pay the bill, tip 20%, and we get the heck out. Later we realize that they had accidentally added another steak entree to out order, then credited it off, just like the green beans and "free" desert, but their little machine calcutes the tip off the total before credits, so I actually payed a 50% tip. Unreal.

There was a 'Happy Anniversary' card on our table signed by the staff, such a nice touch! Our waitress greeted us warmly and wished us happy anniversary and told us that for celebrating with them we'd receive a special dessert or a champagne toast. Another lovely surprise. We ordered cocktails and enjoyed their delicious bread service of freshly baked popovers. For dinner I had their Catch of the Day, Black Cod, wrapped in speck, served with saffron couscous. It could not have been more delicious. My husband enjoyed their Three Way Chicken, a dish so plentiful he took one piece home with him. We were both so pleased with our meals we didn't want to eat to excess, so our server offered to send our dessert home with us. The service, ambience and food were all wonderful.

We hit the club for brunch with a group, and while the ambiance was pure "Country Club Chic," the execution was a bit more "Sunday Morning Sand Trap." The Liquid Courage I started off my round with two drinks. the Bloody Mary. It was fine--tasty enough, but it certainly didn't change my life or inspire any poetry. However, things got interesting with their Tequila/Cold Brew/Liquor 43 concoction. Topped with an egg foam cap, it was actually pretty solid. A bit of a gamble, but sometimes you have to roll the dice when the menu is trying that hard. The Culinary "Hit and Miss" Then came the food, or as I like to call it: The Great Consistency Crisis. The Steak: I asked for medium-rare; I received medium-well with a "char" that felt more like a personal vendetta against the cow. The Potatoes: Apparently, potato portions are determined by a lottery system. I received about half the amount of the person next to me. Maybe I didn't look hungry enough? The Eggs: My over-easy eggs had crispy, hard edges and arrived at a temperature I'd describe as "lukewarm at best." We also had to hunt down salt and pepper like we were on a scavenger hunt. Honestly, I probably should have just hit the buffet and cut out the middleman. The Service Our server was perfectly nice, but he appeared to be roughly twelve years old. Since he wasn't legally old enough to understand the complexity of a craft cocktail, he couldn't give us any info on the drink menu. We just had to "go with our gut"--which is a dangerous game when tequila and cold brew are involved. The Verdict I'm not saying I won't be back, but consider this a fair warning: if Round 2 involves another charred steak and a side of "room temperature" eggs, I'll be sending it back for a rerun faster than a shanked drive into the woods. 3/5 Stars -- Great for people-watching, questionable for potato-equity.

They absolutely have the processes of this little restaurant honed to perfection, and even during a busy lunch time kept things humming so that there was minimal wait time (to order, for the food to be brought out, and to pay for our meal). Many, MANY thanks to Robert, who seated us, took our order, brought our food out, and settled our bill. He was friendly, efficient, and so welcoming. It was a joy to watch him work; he made sure to greet each and every customer coming in the door, and was consistently so upbeat and positive. And many, MANY thanks to Tony at the grill! Our food was FANTASTIC!! I have high standards for Mediterranean food, and the falafel wrap was totally delicious! The falafel itself was perfectly cooked, with a crispy outer layer, and the other ingredients in the wrap were chosen for a perfect melding of flavors. I had the side salad, with homemade Thai peanut dressing, and it was equally tasty. My husband had the patty melt, which came on homemade bread (!) and was, per his report, perfectly done. His side was tater tots, and we shared them. They were crisp and light without being greasy, and addictively yummy! The restaurant is in a strip center; it's not very big, but the tables are well placed so that no one feels cramped. The open reception area and kitchen/grill make it easy for the staff to respond to what's happening in the dining room (e.g., new folks arriving). It was a truly memorable meal, and we'll definitely be back! Again, MANY thanks to Robert and Tony for such a great lunch. We appreciate you!
