Chicken done right and a large menu of items to choose from. Everything is pretty much delicolious. Good drinks selection to pair with too. Service is very excellent. I will definitely go back if ever in Denver again.

I ordered takeout from Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar last night, and it was an absolute revelation. Everything – and I mean *everything* – was delicious. We got the chicken finger family sampler, shrimp and grits, and pecan pie, along with fried okra, fried pickles, Brussels sprouts, and mac & cheese. As someone from Alabama, I can tell you this food genuinely brought back childhood memories. The flavors were spot-on authentic. The chicken fingers were perfectly Southern-fried with that ideal crispy coating and juicy interior. The shrimp and grits couldn’t have been more authentic – creamy, perfectly seasoned grits with beautifully cooked shrimp. Every side dish held its own, from the tangy crunch of the fried pickles to the comforting richness of the mac & cheese. What I especially appreciate is the restaurant’s namesake itself. For those unfamiliar, Tupelo honey comes from the white Ogeechee Tupelo trees that grow in the swamps of the Deep South, primarily in northwest Florida and southern Georgia. This rare, prized honey – which never crystallizes – has been treasured in Southern cuisine for generations. It’s a beautiful touch that the restaurant honors this connection, bringing a piece of authentic Southern heritage to Denver. Most people here probably don’t realize the significance, but it shows the care and authenticity behind everything Tupelo Honey does. I picked up our order rather than dining in (I’m not huge on venturing into the city, but I do love trying new food!). The takeout was perfectly packaged and the food traveled beautifully. If you’re craving real Southern cooking in Denver, this is your place. Highly recommended.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The service was rocky at first, I was overlooked 4 different times before being told someone would help you soon. After that the waitress was great and the food was delicious, especially the roasted potatoes. The chicken on the pancakes is not so great, but the eggs made up for it. Overall, it was a decent experience that will leave you feeling satisfied.

My husband and I ate here yesterday morning and we had a great experience! We are Denver locals and have only been here one other time and we definitely noticed an increase in quality of food and service. We both ordered drinks, 2 appetizers and 2 entrees and it was all under $100 👍🏽 Our server Bailey was great and we will definitely be back again soon!

As a southern girlie, their food offering is definitely headed in the right direction. The grits were fab, absolutely recommend. I also really loved the fried okra — it was crispy in the way fried okra should be. The chicken tenders were good, but I do not know that they represent true southern fried chicken. The sauce options were creative and plentiful. The banana pudding was pretty good too. Would eat here again but it’s not anything I would insist a visitor should visit while in town (I’m visiting lol)

Excellent spot for brunch, the sweet and spicy waffles with chicken were amazing. The waffles are perfectly crispy on the outside yet fluffy on the inside. The chicken is crunchy and juicy too. The “queen” bloody Mary’s are huge and had us feeling great. The inside is cute and although it was busy we had great service and our food came out fast. I definitely would recommend and im looking forward to coming back to try other things on the menu.

Man the food was top notch. Ask for the secret menu banana creme brulee chicken and waffles you won't regret it. Wish we lived closer so we could go more often. We will be back our next visit I definitely did not need the syrup for this dish!

I came on a Sunday morning and was seated quickly upon arrival. The menu is quite extensive with plenty of variety, but I definitely had my eye on the chicken since that's what they are known for. Here's what I ordered: 1. The biscuits for a cause were delicious, and I love that the proceeds go to charity. 2. The fried pickles had a thicker batter than I usually prefer, but they were still tasty, especially paired with the ranch. 3. The buttermilk fried chicken tenders were outstanding and the three sauces they came with were all equally amazing. 4. The honey dusted fried chicken was perfectly crispy and full of flavor. Every dish exceeded my expectations, but the real surprise was the side of potatoes. I have never had potatoes like these; they were the crispiest and most flavorful I have ever tasted. I was left genuinely impressed. Overall, everything was fantastic, and I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great meal.

Came for brunch on a Tuesday, seated quickly, our server savanna was very nice, food was a bit of a wait but to expected when it's made fresh to order. I had the fried green tomatoes with goat cheese grits, wow to say the least. Tomatoes were fried perfectly and the grits were super creamy and the red aioli was tangy and paired perfectly. My wife got the sweet and spicy half chicken, came out pipping hot, sauce was delicious and chicken was crispy and juicy! Lastly the sweet potato pancake, not too sweet but didn't really taste like sweet potato more like spices you would find in a pie. Over all I would recommend coming here & giving a try! The restaurant was pretty clean & so was the bathroom. Parking was a bit of an hassle but with this location in downtown Colorado I guess it's also to be expected.

There's a Tupelo Honey near my home that's been on my bucket list for years, so I was excited when I learned I'd be going to another location. We started with an order of the buttermilk biscuits (I had to order a second for the table because I failed to read the menu closely). The biscuits were tasty but on the crumbly side, so they were slightly difficult to eat. Although we had both the blueberry and peach jam, I opted for a drizzle of honey which paired well with the savory biscuit. For my entree, I ordered the sweet potato pancake with a side of soy sausage. The pancake was so, so good -- probably one of the best pancakes I've had in my life. Had I been eating it blindfolded, I wouldn't have been able to tell you it was the sweet potato variety. But it didn't matter. It was large (they weren't lying when they called it oversized!), sweet, fluffy with slightly crispy edges. The spiced pecans, powdered sugar and whipped butter elevated the dish to another level few pancakes can reach. The soy sausage was good. Obviously, it isn't the real deal. But I found the texture and seasoning to be very close to the pork sausage patties I used to eat before becoming a vegetarian. I liked the laid back atmosphere of the interior. There were multiple items on the menu that enticed me. Going to the one close to home is even more of a priority now.

This use to be one of my absolute all time favorites. I haven't been to one in about 7 years and as I'm visiting Denver I see it so I immediately try out this downtown location. Personally, it just isn't the same. The chicken blt sandwich was the best part outside of the service. I would still recommend trying this restaurant out if you're in the area as it wasn't bad but it wasn't what I remember.

Yum! Cute place right next to Union Station. Parking is a bit difficult to find a spot, but TH makes up for it. Adorable decor abounds TH. They went with the bee theme and committed, as one should. Brunch looked tasty but I went for a lunch menu item of grilled cheese and tomato soup- yum! The grilled cheese was well prepared with a couple of cheese thrown in the mix, all grilled to perfection on Texas toast. The tomato soup was divine. It was clearly homemade with added spices and bits of fresh tomatoes. In staying with the tomato theme, I also had a Bloody Mary- spiced up. It was very tasty. Our server was friendly. They are known for their homemade biscuits. I sampled one from my friend's order and it was tasty for sure. Will definitely go back to try some more deliciousness.

If you want a reliable modern southern style breakfast then this is your place. Their cold brew is very strong and I had to adjust it a bit. The portions are large and the food is plenty flavorful. We sat outside which was nice. Our server was still checking on us routinely and she was very nice.

*CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE REVIEW very cute venue and kind staff, the in-person menu is a little different than the online menu with a few more GF options - including GF buns + bread for sandwiches and burgers. I got the sweet and spicy chicken sandwich, with the fried chicken subbed for grilled chicken. They do toast buns on the grill, so I asked if they could cook my chicken in a separate pan and the waiter said that would be no problem. they do not have a dedicated fryer. I also got a side of the goat cheese grits, everything was yummy and I did not get sick!

Located conveniently near the Union Station this restaurant had a lot to offer. My friend and I went in for brunch. The restaurant was quite busy but we were able to get a spot at the communal table right away. It's a gorgeous restaurant with a lot of space and beautifully decorated. For drinks, my friend got the Iced Dirty Chai and based on our server's recommendation, I got the Shaken Iced Matcha Latte. The Dirty Chai was delicious (a little on the sweeter side but still good). At first they gave me the wrong drink (coffee instead of the matcha) but when they brought me the right drink (Matcha Latte) I wished I had kept the coffee. The matcha drink was awful. Purely sugar and it kinda tasted like a soda? If you love matcha I would advise against this item. As for food, I ordered the Sriracha Honey Chicken & Waffles while my friend got the vegetarian version which was chicken replaced with Cauliflower. I loved my Sriracha Honey, it was a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, the chicken was tender and the waffles were crispy on the outside. My friend thought her's was mid and could've used a bit more seasoning. This meal was a bit on the heavier side for me, 1,000 cals is a lot for brunch.

Really trendy cute spot! Service was great! They had some short staffing issues and delays but our server was so communicative and did a great job. Hubby loved the chicken and waffles and my breakfast plate was good. Something did hurt my stomach - think it was the cross contamination from fryer (potatoes) or the oil they used (many allergies) but that was the choice I made. Everything was yummy, location was great!

Lots of southern food and creative drinks to offer and Tupelo Honey for brunch. They currently have a $3 martini lunch (limit 3, with vodka or gin, must order food). My slightly dirty vodka martini was just right. I ordered the Shrimp Po Boy off the Mile-High menu. It was lightly battered shrimp in a hoagie roll with shredded lettuce, tomato, and a remoulade sauce. It came with a choice of side, and I picked the crispy fries which were as advertised. My only issue with my food was that one of the shrimp was not deveined. I am sure it was just an oversight since the rest of the shrimp were fine. Our server was attentive and made sure we always had refills on beverages. The decor is a cute nod to the south with fun terms relating to biscuits, bees, chickens, and grits.

The main course was very flavorful and the Mac and cheese was perfect. I also really enjoyed the crispy potatoes. The smaller ones were perfect but the fatter ones lost their crispiness due to how much soft inside there was compared to the crispy outer layer. The banana pudding was way bigger than I expected and had too many cookies which were very dry at the bottom compared to the amount of bananas. The staff was very friendly and did not charge me for the desert due to my lack of satisfaction with the desert. Would definitely come again!

This place knows brunch!! Tucked right behind Union Square, this southern style restaurant gets two thumbs up! If you want a great vibe, beautiful atmosphere, excellent, friendly servers, this is for you! Hubby and I ordered the cornbread sharable, chicken with biscuits and gravy. Sweet potato pancakes with chicken. We got here right before the surge of people and now we are moving on to the open marketplace. Enjoy the pics..

Great restaurant with excellent southern food, they are famous for chicken and honey biscuits both were great. We each had one of their special cocktails, I had the boozy turkey (old fashion), top notch drink! The staff was very friendly and helpful.

It's a delicious and casual southern kitchen! Not like classic true sour there, it's modernized version. Parker was our waiter and he was very friendly, even though we walked in 45 minutes before closing. At that time, there were just a handful of tables seated. Turmeric Ginger Tonic beverage was sold out, and it's very popular so consider it if you come at an earlier time! I had to try their famous 20-year old banana pudding recipe and wow, I was impressed. If you're a fan of the dessert, it's a must-try. On a side note, the water tasted great haha, not your average tap water. Sweet with no bitter after taste. I ordered sweet and spicy chicken and waffles, and it was out in less than 10 minutes. Fast! It was delicious too and decently portioned. It tasted like Korean fried chicken haha. Food summary: Banana pudding blew me away, and the chicken & waffles were delicious but nothing super special. Overall, I would come back due to the reliable service and tasty food!

Where do I begin. Our first time eating there was a very good experience. My husband and I both ordered chicken and waffles and while we waited, we ordered the biscuits with blueberry jam. He ordered the Bloody Mary and I had a cup of hot tea. The biscuits were very good and the jam was delicious, made in-house. I love that the money for the biscuits goes to an employee fund. I really hope that's true. The Bloody Mary was out of this world! The pickled veges in it were delicious. It was so large, my husband couldn't finish it. When our chicken and waffles arrived, we chowed down on them. Although the dish is very good, I will say that the chicken had a little too much batter and not enough meat esp for its price point. However, when I mentioned it to the manager, he brought another piece. I believe they serve strips and not a breast or thighs. The combination of the spicy Bloody Mary and spicy chicken was a little too much for my husband's pallet, though he enjoyed both. The jam is available for purchase so I took a jar home. On our next visit, I ordered the fried chicken and potatoes and my husband ordered the tomato soup and pancakes and bacon. Both were okay although I would not write home about them or get it again. I didn't like the texture of the pancake and the fried chicken was more suitable for another pallet. He said the tomato soup was absolutely delicious! The manager remembered us from our first visit and he stopped by and chatted. We ended up getting a delicious dessert to go on the house. It was very good too. The restaurant is very nice and they have great artwork hanging by a local artist. You need a key to get into the bathrooms. I love a bathroom that has a foot door opener esp when hand towels are not provided like in this one. However, the foot door opener is pointless bc you have to turn the door knob to get out, I assume due to the lock. Defeats the whole purpose. Overall, we enjoyed our meals and the service that we received.

I love biscuits, especially those from Tupelo Honey so when I saw there was one near my hotel, I knew where I was eating breakfast! It was a Sunday morning before 11 and they were already busy. I grabbed a seat at the bar and the harried barman took my order of coffee and chicken and biscuits. The coffee was good (although I would have loved a refill) and the chicken and biscuits was great. It also came with some crispy bacon which was exceptional. Since I wasn't going to eat until much later that night, I had a small banana pudding which was also incredible. I'm a fan of Tupelo Honey.

I thought the food here was DELICIOUS! I had the blackened Mahi in Basil Citrus Butter Sauce. Sides were Rosemary Parmesan crispy potatoes, and a side salad with a sweet vinaigrette. The Mahi was a very generous portion and the sauce was insane. Would def come back .

The pumpkin soup was very good, although I didn't like the popcorn in it. The chicken straps with bee dust were good, although the dipping sauces were too spicy. The fried green tomatoes had a nice crunchy breading but no flavor. The best part was the grits with goat cheese and red pepper sauce that came under the fried green tomatoes, yum. The bisquit was very good. The grain bowl and the avocado melt (sandwhich) both looked great. The service wasn't the best. She forgot items, never came back and checked on us and the way she ran the cards for payment was strange. The space was very cozy with cute ornaments hanging from the rafters. Overall not a bad experience, I would try it again.

I've wanted to visit a Tupelo Honey since I visited Charlotte in 2020 and ran out of time. I was excited when I saw there was a location in Denver as Southern food is one of my favorite cuisines. There was no doubt in my mind that I was going to order the honey-dusted fried chicken with white meat with a side of the baked mac and cheese and banana pudding for dessert. While the chicken was good, it didn't top the list of the best ever. You can never go wrong with banana pudding though!

This place felt like your southern grandmothers dining room, it was a welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of downtown Denver today. The happy hour menu was full of great options, including meatloaf that I may just have to go back tomorrow and try. Today I went for the classic chicken and waffles with a side of mac & cheese. The waffles were crispy, but soft on the inside, the perfect texture. The chicken had just threaded amount of breading to crispiness and the gooey baked mac & cheese was the perfect finishing touch. The service was friendly and not rushed. They did have a great bar menu, but I opted for a Diet Coke with a lemon and it was well balanced, like a fountain soda should be. The meal in total was about $30 and well portioned. The setting was well lit and inviting cozy. I loved the plates, they look just like a set every grandmother has. This was the reprieve I needed today.

Very good! We went for lunch and split the Sriracha honey chicken and waffles, it was delicious and super filling! The quality of the chicken breast was a little lacking, but the breading was nice and crispy, the waffle was pretty perfect, and the sauce was amazing. We also got an Irish Coffee, we felt it wasn't really worth $15 though, not very strong and not too tasty, just meh. The place was super cute! Our waiter was Tamarick and he was great! Super sweet, friendly, quick, and attentive!

This is one of my favorite places and I went to a location in the Milwaukee area and the group I was with loved it too. My recent visit to the downtown Denver location proved that there is great consistency in locations and that it will be a go to as long as they keep this up! This visit I tried the Espresso martini and absolutely loved it. I also had the collard greens. Me and my guests were pleased as always! I would have tried the sweet potato pancake if I didn't need to get in a tight dress in a month lol! The service is always swift and the food hot.

Found this place online for lunch when I was looking for good shrimp and grits. Unfortunately the grits here contain goat cheese and they are unable to make any more grits outside of the ones they have made for the day. We ordered two orders of the sweet potato pancake with scrambled eggs and bacon. One order was significantly smaller than the other. The pancakes were really thin. The food took quite a while to arrive, and when it finally did, the eggs were cold and extremely dry. The pancake had a slight burnt taste and wasn't very enjoyable. The butter and nuts were good, but that was about it. The server thought we would get egg and a meat but it was a mistake she admitted which was okay. The service was just slow. The restaurant itself was just okay, one side of the booth we sat at had oily seats. Overall, the place and the food felt like they were geared more toward tourists than regular diners.

We were in an Uber ride heading to dinner when we saw a police escorted tour bus going the same direction. Ah, Lakers came to play the Nuggets tonight! This restaurant was near the Ball Arena in Denver. Even without a reservation, we were able to get seated pretty quick! We started with drinks and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I had a silky smooth espresso martini that was pretty good :) I love me some Chicken and Waffles and they have two versions here....main difference is regular waffles vs. Mac and cheese waffles. I went with the regular waffles which were good. With honey on the side, the fried chicken had a nice kick to it. Tender on the inside and crisp on the outside. To balance my meal, I added a side of bacon collards. Perfectly cooked and not over done, this dish was nice and smokey. See Mom, I eat my veggies :) Dining area was clean, service was friendly, food was pretty good! Thank you for the 10% off with Yelp check in :) Oh and congrats Nuggets!!

So, I'm updating my review. And happily to say that the service improved greatly. On my day to fly back to MD, my guy and I decided to come back. We had amazing service from Lanker. I skipped on the waffles as I really wanted to chow down on chicken. Their menus are different at lunchtime, so it's not that extensive as during the weekend. Our waiter offered us biscuits, which I thought were complimentary but wasn't. But they were good! I got fried chicken and it was good! My guy got shrimp n grits. He was so kind enough to share. Now it was good , I really wanted to swap meals because it was good. I managed to get a lion portion. Our meals were good and I had the itis and needed a nap. Service and food were much better. Thank you to the manager, Anna, who made sure we had an awesome time here. Definitely will come back and get my own shrimp and grits.

Inviting kitchen /bar with a cozy environment. Casual but elevated. The food is delicious and well-presented. I felt like comfort food on this COLD DAY, so I ordered the Classic Chicken and waffles with a sprinkle of honey dust. I had the Tupelo Cold Brew with honey I ordered the Banana Pudding, and everything was as excellent as I remembered! John was fantastic. He anticipated what I would need! Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen and Bar is a MUST when here in Denver!

This restaurant came highly recommended so I was looking forward to my dining experience. However, it was extremely disappointing. I made a reservation and we arrived and were seated timely. It took some time for our server to come to the table, but we were willing to overlook that, given that there was a small crowd when we arrived. He brought our water and drinks, then took our appetizer and entree orders. It all went downhill from there. My sister ordered the pork, only to be told they were out. Why not mention that when you provided menus? Or when you took an appetizer order? Or at any point before the customer actually places the order for an item you know is unavailable. We waited so long for our appetizer that we were willing to just pay for our drinks and eat elsewhere. Just as we were about to ask for the check, the appetizer arrived. The explanation was that our ticket was misplaced. So we settled in to wait for our entree. One hour after arriving, we decided to cut our losses and leave. The manager brought our meals and we told him to take them back. He never asked why we were returning the order. That's basic customer service. At this point, the restaurant was almost empty, so there was no justification for the wait. I asked to speak to the manager twice. When he arrived, he apologized and explained that sometimes the tickets fall out of the machine and get missed. This begs the question: if you are aware that this is a problem, why have you not addressed it? The fried green tomatoes were delicious. The ventilation in the restaurant could be improved as we could smell old frying oil as soon as we were seated.

I specifically set out to eat here and was not disappointed. I sat at the bar and the staff were attentive without pushy conversation. The bar area was clean as well as the rest of the restaurant. The appetizers I got were the fried green tomatoes with grits and a red pepper sauce which was delicious and I got the crispy Brussels sprouts which had cheese and a chickpea based pepper sauce I thought was equally delicious. For my entree I got the Grilled Salmon & Creamy Quinoa with grilled yellow and red peppers. It was good but was overcooked and should have come with lemon and more seasoning. Overall, it was good and I'd go back but not pressed to go over a new place. Still I'd recommend the appetizers and drinks.

Breathtaking! I am so glad we came by here while in Denver! We walked from our hotel downtown for a scenic route and to get some steps in and we were not disappointed! The fried green tomato on top of a bed of grits was chef kiss! Both types of chicken were delicious! So you can't go wrong but if I had to pick, I would say the classic buttermilk chicken with the waffle. The waffle was fluffy and cooked to perfection! The eggs fried soft with American cheese - was good along with the bacon thick cut! Must try while in town! 5 Stars and great experience!

I was excited to try Tupelo Honey after hearing good things about it but for me the food and service did not live up to the hype. I recently visited for a mid-morning brunch. The biscuits, which are supposed to be the star of the show, were pretty sad: chewy, dense, and lacking any flavor or freshness. The blueberry jam accompanying it as an appetizer was unremarkable. Big disappointment to start. The main course for me was a Mountain Morning Bowl and, whew, this was a big miss. Outside of the potatoes (which were good, but my bowl had literally 3 small potato wedges) everything was one texture and one flavor: it was all supremely bland. Not even the green tomato salsa had presence. A few bacon bits showed up ("chopped apple cider bacon") but this ended up being just a big bowl of grits with some almost different textures on top. Giant miss, profoundly disappointing. The coffee was acceptable but standard Sysco generic stuff, nothing fancy here. Service was poor. The place was not super busy when I arrived but our server took forever to initially greet us, and everything came out just super slowly. Coffee and beverage refills were also not good. I walked away feeling like there was no way my meal cost about $30, but it did. I don't know why Denver is so bad at brunch, but Tupelo Honey ain't it.

Visited Denver for just a quick overnight. Loved the food here. The waffles were melt in your mouth, the chicken was moist

My daughter and I stepped in for a late lunch and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I had the Southern Chicken BLT with a side of Brussel sprouts. The fried chicken and the perfect amount of moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. The Brussels were also cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be back.

I came for lunch and did one of their half sandwich and soup lunch specials. It was a better route comparatively in my mind to do the special given the prices. Food is fine enough but I wasn't particularly impressed. There's nothing special to the offerings and, like I said, I just don't think it's worth the price given other options out there in Denver. I also found the service kind of meh. Like not that he was a bad server, just not particularly around, and pretty reflective of the overall experience of just a mediocre, shrug your shoulders time.

Convenient, tasty, reasonable costs. I'll go there again. Easy to get to Union Station and Coors Field.

OMG! this was quite a treat. didn't know what to expect but the food was awesome. i got the purple people eater as my drink and glad i did. for appetizer i got the fried green tomatoes. the grits underneath were amazing by themselves. my entree was the shrimp po boy with collards. that plate needs a 'moment of silence' it was so good! my guy got meatloaf with mixed green salad. he said it was tasty.. we ended the meal with the nana pudding.. Lawd have mercy. it was JUST enough. I will most definitely be returning here or trying to find a location near me bc this place was a HIT. our host was pleasant and our server was such a sweetheart. the decor was cute and artsy and the view was actually nice too. it faced a train station but since people watching is my thing that was cool.

Benedicts are my jam these days and I have no idea why either. Savory taste for days with scrumptious hollandaise sauce and whatever protein they want to put on there. On our visit the choice of protein was a fried chicken aka the buttermilk fried chicken benedict. Food came out hot and tasty. On the other hand waitstaff could have been a bit more attentive but our waitress was friendly and offered suggestions. She just seemed to have a ton of tables in her section. Regardless this is a place to try out! Located within a stone's throw from Union Station Tupelo Honey will delight your senses upon arrival till the last bite on your dish!

The honey blueberry butter with the biscuits were delicious, but thw biscuits were a little dry. The food was good, however some of the items could have used a little more seasoning - like the fries. I really liked the pumpkin bisque the best part of the visit? The drinks! Peach dont kill my vibe was amazing!!

This place is right by Union Station and serves up Southern eats! I would say that the overall ambiance and the interior design of the restaurant is very cozy - making it great for a group of friends to get a bite to eat! However, I feel like I was a bit disappointed with the taste of the food itself. Everything looked very appetizing was a bit too salty or a bit bland. I think it's a nice place to try if you are in the area (parking will be a bit tough here since it's in the middle of downtown).

In reality, 4/5. I ordered Asheville hot with Mac and cheese waffles and a cold brew. The food is alright and nothing to run home about but service was good and food came out quickly. I also didn't mind the TV playing Friends. I don't have much to say about the place but I wouldn't necessarily recommend the chicken and waffles because the portion was small and the Mac and cheese didn't do anything for the meal. When I ordered the cold brew, the waiter asked if I wanted sweetener and/or cream. I ended up getting honey syrup and oat milk. It was cool that I got to pick different sweeteners but not cool that I had to pay $1 for 2 oz of oat milk. I checked in on Yelp and they did honor a 10% discount to my bill. Would go out of my way to come back? No. Would I stop anyone from coming here to eat? No. So feel free to head over and try for yourself.

I dined here last night with my friend. It was her birthday so this was an ideal venue for a nice birthday dinner. My friend immediately liked the ambiance of the restaurant. She also liked the "Butter My Butt and Call Me a Biscuit" sign. I liked that too! I also like that they have a small gift shop area to purchase glassware and other Tupelo Honey items. We sat near the front entrance with nice views of the downtown in the background. I like the location of the restaurant. However, it's not easily accessible. Street parking or public parking garage only. I had to park a ways down from the restaurant and it was only about 4:30 PM. Our waitress was polite but not personable. Service was slow in the beginning. My suggestion to management is to pick up the pace and don't let the patrons wait too long to put orders in. We waited a long time to put our appetizer order in and longer to put orders in for our entrees. For appetizers, we ordered the Sausage & Beer Gumbo along with Biscuits with Butter and Jam. Both are DELISH!! We actually ended up ordering TWO orders of the Biscuits with Butter and Jam. It was that good! For my entree I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken with Mac & Cheese Waffles along with a side of Brussel Sprouts. I very much enjoyed this meal. I would probably order a different side next time (additional time). They have lovely sides! My friend ordered the Bistro Steak with Broccoli and Potatoes. She very much enjoyed her meal! I sampled a bite of the steak and felt that it we as really good. Not overcooked and seasoned well. I passed on dessert. They do have some nice desert options. My only suggestion is to go here on an empty stomach and eat well. They have a lot of great menu options. My friend was so impressed that she would like to come back here again. ME TOO! This was my second visit and I'm so looking forward to another one! If you haven't been here yet, check them out! Hope you have a very pleasant experience!

Stopped in yesterday for Brunch with the family. This spot is behind Union station. Street parking is pretty tough but there are some garages in the area to make it easier. Although I think it would be an easy bike ride on a warm day. We had reservations and greeted and sat immediately. The service was very friendly but a bit slow at times with our water and coffee refills. It was a Sunday though and pretty busy, so I give them grace for that. We had the biscuits for a cause to start. They were crumbly and light and served with a whipped butter and blueberry compote of sorts. So darn yummy. It was hard to be judicious and not overeat waiting for our mains. Two of us ordered the shrimp and grits and the other had the breakfast platter. The shrimp and grits were a great portion, not too large or small considering how rich it is. My shrimp was perfectly cooked and the creole sauce was rich and deep. My son liked his platter and cleaned his plate. I think I need to come back and try the fried chicken!

A great brunch place located in downtown Denver and right next to Union Station! Their brunch dishes were delicious! I loved the flavor of the hot sauce and the grits. The margaritas were super strong so it made for a great time. I enjoyed the Southern flare on the dishes and really liked their biscuit. Make sure to make a reservation before coming here!

We asked the desk clerk for his favorite restaurant and he didn't disappoint. He said the food is from scratch and is fabulous. And it is! They were gracious about letting me order the quinoa without the bell peppers and let me get pickled onions instead. All of it was divine. The pickled onions were the best I've ever had. The salmon was cooked to perfection. The chicken tortilla soup was outstanding.
