How have I not heard of this place before? They knocked it out the park in every category. The chicken was both crispy and juicy. The flavor of the greens is straight from the south. Don’t judge me for the well done steak! That was somebody else. (SMH) I was surprised about how good the potatoes were. I gotta have those again. Service, waitress, menu, kitchen, and restrooms were all top tier. I’ll definitely be back to try something new in the menu.

Visiting family in the area and they love this restaurant! Impeccable service, lovely ambiance and delicious eats. I'd definitely come back especially for those brussel sprouts!

The restaurant is set up very nice and comfy on the inside. When we arrived around noon on a Sunday we were a bit surprised to be quoted 45min-1hour wait when there were plenty of empty tables 🤔. I assume they were understaffed and didn't have enough waiters to attend to the restaurant at full capacity. After being seated we did receive prompt service. The food was good,but my wife did not like the mac and cheese. She had it replaced with a side of crispy Brussel sprouts. The biscuits are good i suggest pay the extra dollar so you can try both jams as it only comes with one otherwise. The greens just tasted of salt and pork, not the best but serviceable.

I held my birthday dinner here and was impressed with the place. This was my first time dining here so I was taking a risk hosting a large birthday dinner. All of my guests were impressed with their food. I had the honey sriracha chicken with collards and mac. The chicken was very flavorful and had a good level of sweet and spice. The sides had plenty of flavor as well, especially the collards. I’ll be returning to try the rest of the menu for sure.

First time trying this place. The restaurant was nice and the hostess. Our waiter was ok forgot our water after we ordered them and just wasn't very attentive. The food was great. The flavor was good. I got the smothered chicken, mac/cheese, and collards. I recommend. Definitely will go back .

This place has friendly service and good food. (Really recommend the sweet and spicy chicken waffles. ) but the service I found lacking not because of my server but because they were under staffed and she couldn’t get to me for the basics. Sweet lady though.

This was my first visit to Tupelo Honey after hearing great things about this place, and I can see why it came highly recommended. Our server, Kimmy, was so warm and friendly and took care of us so well. The food was delicious, I loved the fried green tomatoes. The smothered chicken biscuits and gravy were rich and delicious as well. Great atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of space to spread out.

I had such a wonderful time at southern restaurants for the first time! The atmosphere was fantastic, and even though the place was busy when I arrived, it just added to the excitement. The food was absolutely delicious, and I can’t recommend it enough!

I visited Tupelo Honey for a family birthday brunch. The food was amazing, served hot, and had lots of flavor. I even tried a few dishes I normally wouldn't go for, and I'm so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone because everything was delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful. I love the honeycomb theme that runs throughout the space; it gives the restaurant a warm, cozy, golden vibe. Great food, great environment, and a menu I can't wait to dive deeper into.

The decor is inviting and open. The hostess, unfortunately, was not warm nor welcoming. I felt a bit like we were an inconvenience to her. We arrived about 4 pm on a Saturday with only a few other guests seated, but we still had to wait for the hostess to clean a table for us. We then had to wait about 10 minutes for the waitress to come to our table to welcome us and take our drink order, the waitress, however, was very warm and made us feel welcomed. For the appetizers, we tried the biscuits for a cause and the fried green tomatoes. Presentation was great, but the taste... even better! The grits and coulis lining the fried green tomatoes was flavor-packed. They served 4 generous slices and they were quite filling. The blueberry jam with butter was pure perfection, and I typically do not enjoy blueberries. For my main course, I selected the classic chicken and waffles. I found them to be average, but the chicken significantly lacking flavor and in need of seasoning. My husband ordered the fried chicken with fries, he also found the chicken average and lacking flavor. After such delicious appetizers, I was disappointed by the main course.

Service and ambiance are on point but the food left much to be desired. The hostess wasn't going to crack a smile for anyone. We had the biscuits and blueberry to start and it was delicious but my grilled cheese looked like something a 10yr old cooked after school. It was so dry and the cheese was nice and cold! The onion rings were decent but over all the experience was a huge disappointment. I hear breakfast is great but idk if I'd chance it.

I was a major fan of the steak and the drinks (mimosa flight, whiskey flight and boozy turkey). The banana pudding was also delicious, being full of wafers and bananas. I wasn't a fan of the honey dusted chicken as it just wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked. The service on the other hand was impeccable with the waiters and severs being extremely attentive.

Been to Tupelo Honey in Asheville years ago so was pleasantly surprised to see one near our hotel. Came through on a Sunday brunch hour to which we were quickly seated in a cozy booth near the kitchen. McKenzie took good care of us with our drink and food order. We sampled the mimosa flight, prosecco, and I got the farmhouse breakfast platter to which I enjoyed the sampling of bacon, biscuit, goat cheese grits, and sunny side up eggs. The hot honey and hot sauce complimented the dish well. The grits were my favorite! Overall we were happy with our food, service, and atmosphere of the restaurant.

You definitely have to visit this place if you're ever in the area! I recently visited Tupelo that truly knows how to do comfort food right. There is a covered outdoor patio that welcomes your furry friends too! The warm, fluffy biscuits were nothing short of heavenly. Paired with butter and a vibrant blueberry jam, they struck the perfect balance of savory and sweet. I also ordered the chicken and waffles, and they did not disappoint. The chicken was hot, crispy, and well-seasoned, while the waffle provided a slightly sweet, buttery base that complemented it beautifully. Every bite was indulgent without being overwhelming, and the textures were spot on. If you're craving Southern-inspired comfort food with a touch of flair, this place deserves a visit. I'll definitely be back for those biscuits alone.

We visited Tupelo on June 10th. We arrived about 10 minutes before they opened so we just hung around the front door. We were surprised when a line started forming, after all, it was a Tuesday morning. They opened promptly at 11 am and our group of 4 was quickly seated. We ordered coffee and orange juice. The coffee was robust, deep nutty flavor, very good. The orange juice was delicious and tasted fresh squeezed. We ordered shrimp and grits, sweet potato pancake with sausage, sweet & spicy fried chicken and waffles, and the farmhouse breakfast platter. The menu isn't large but they do everything to the nines! Every entree was absolutely delicious. The shrimp and grits were savory and the shrimp were sweet and perfectly cooked. The sweet potato waffle just melted in your mouth and the chorizo sausage was the perfect salty accompaniment. The breakfast platter was delicious and those parmesan potatoes were so flavorful. The chicken and waffles were the perfect portion and a nice kick of spice was it wasn't overpowering. We can't say enough about the fantastic service we received. Waters were refilled and we were checked on throughout our stay! If you have a chance to pop in, you will not be disappointed. Will definitely be back when we are in town!

I stopped by Tupelo honey southern kitchen based on their Yelp reviews. I wanted to start my day with some good brunch food. We didn't make reservations however we were sat immediately. They have indoor and patio seating available. They have a lot of brunch items to select from, we enjoyed the waffles, shrimp & grits, and the steak and eggs (I enjoyed the green tomato aioli sauce). I loved the small details including the beautiful plates and the open style kitchen. Everything was delicious and flavorful. Liz, our server was very friendly and attentive. I would definitely go back.

This place is just okay in my opinion. It didn't blow me away. It seems a little over priced for what it is. Also, seems a little too hyped up. It's not a bad restaurant, but it's not a mind blowing experience ether. You're likely going to have a pretty decent time.

Here I am, three years later writing an updated review for the Tupelo Honey VB location. Yes, it's been three years since I've actually been here. This time my son chose to eat here despite the many offerings in the area. Nonetheless, we came around 2ish on a Monday and it was quiet and slow. I ordered the lunch special which was half a sandwich and a side and my son ordered the mac-n-cheese waffles with asheville hot fried chicken. My son thoroughly enjoyed his meal and ate every bit. Me on the other hand felt the meal was meh. I had a half Asheville Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich which was tasty. The side of mac and cheese was ice cold which was odd because it came out in a cast iron skillet and y'all know cast iron gets hot! So why the dish was cold is beyond me. I thought maybe the food temp was also impacting the taste. So I did ask for a hot Mac n cheese which they provided (then added to my check when it came with the dish). Once the Mac came back out it was still the same FLAVORLESS! I wish I would've read my previous review before ordering but hadn't and that's where I went wrong. My previous review would've warned me about the Mac. Nonetheless, save yourself do not order the Mac n cheese. Oh, we also ordered a side of Brussels and they were decent. For drinks we ordered a blueberry lemonade which my son enjoyed and I ordered the Sangria which was watered down because our waitress was nowhere to be found while I watched my drink sitting at the bar for minutes on end waiting for our Waitress to pick it up. Needless to say, not sure it would have been any better if it had not been watered down. It was just okay, I've definitely had way better Sangrias. Since this is my third experience here and third times the charm, I doubt I'll ever be back. Unfortunately, this establishment just does not do it for me. Cheers to a great time!

Tupelo Honey was a solid brunch spot. Here is what I loved -- The dirty chai tea latte was great. I also love their "biscuits for a cause" with wonderful blueberries and delicious whipped butter. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles which was super good. I also loved the goat cheese grits. I ordered an egg white omelette, which I don't think I would order again. The staff was friendly and it was clean and had great ambience. It is nearby a lot of shops, which is nice after a big brunch.

First time at this place at the recommendation of close friends. We arrived as they opened and were immediately seated. Good variety of menu items. I ordered the waffles with Nashville Hot chicken. Delicious. Large eating area. I will come back to eat here when I am back in Virginia Beach.

It's been years since I've been here. I made reservations for a party of 12 for Mother's Day. Our server was super sweet and attentive. We ordered the following appetizers: fried pickles and crispy brussel sprouts. Delicious! Hubby ordered the smothered chicken and collard greens. I ordered the surf and turf (bistro steak and shrimp). Our son ordered the waffle. He loved the waffle and are it tall. My steak was cooked to perfection, and my shrimp was delicious. Everything was great. Can't wait to go back!

Will be back! -parking garage right next to the restaurant with 2 free hours of parking. -the seating arrangement doesn't feel overcrowded, they have indoor, outdoor, and bar seating available. -staff was very friendly. -Their menu was a mixture of flavors to include green fried tomatoes that might as well be considered a full meal. -the spicy chicken a waffle was a hint of spicy, which is a great option if you enjoy the spice without all that heat.

The vibe is nice and southern . Biscuit appetizer is delicious 10/10, but I'd recommend mixing the butter and jam together for a better spread . The sweet and spicy chicken sandwich did have any flavor 4/10, originally so I ordered a side of the sauce and drenched my sandwich which is how I think it should come lol, tasted way better10/10. Collard greens were okay 4/10. Id come back for other menu items .

I had the drain & grits per the usually wifey had the fried tomato's everything was delish, definitely will be back.

Nice southern style restaurant in Town Center area. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and patient while explaining food items. We ordered the sweet and spicy chicken sandwich with fries and the honey dusted fried chicken with crispy rosemary parm potatoes. The sandwich was juicy with good flavor. The fried chicken was freshly cooked but nothing noticeable about the seasoning just seemed regular. The potato is a baked potato that they break up and fry and then add the rosemary/parm - I could've ate a plate full. The mimosas were delish and well balanced. My favorite was the apple cider donut! So good. I opted to not try the greens as I was told they're sweet and the mac n cheese has breadcrumbs but our waitress advised the recipe was changing the following week. Overall everything was good I would go again if in the area.

In town for a women's conference (Devoted - Wave Church Wilson) and we decided to eat an early dinner here. The atmosphere is casual and the prices are reasonable. I ordered two sides for my meal - Rosemary & Parmesan Roasted Potatoes and the Braised Bacon Collards. Both of these sides had a great flavor and just the right amount. Our server was very attentive and helpful. Would definitely come back.

We went to Tupelo's for Sunday brunch. It's located in Town Center. We made reservations in case with opentable for 9am. We had a mimosa and Bloody Mary. We both ordered the salmon brunch entrees for mains. All very good. It's a really nice atmosphere and our server was very friendly and attentive! There is a Yelp check in coupon available too for 10% off. Good food, good visit. Recommend when in VB looking for breakfast.

Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar was my pick for a brunch/lunch gathering. Since they don't have this restaurant in California, I knew this would be a great choice - and it was! Tupelo Honey Cafe is located in the Virginia Beach Towne Center and was easy to find on Constitution Drive and Main. Parking is available at the nearby parking structure. This is a big restaurant and was perfect for our group of 7. They have plenty of seating inside and in the outdoor patio. I had reservations made and we didn't have to wait very long. They have so many items to choose from. Here's what we ordered: * Biscuits for a Cause with their delicious Blueberry Jam and Whipped Butter - The reviews were right. This was delicious! The biscuit had a slight crisp on the outside with a fluffy center. But that blueberry jam with whipped butter really made it an outstanding starter. * Classic Chicken & Waffles - Believe it or not, this was my very first experience eating chicken and waffles! I was so glad I tried it here and really enjoyed the taste and textures from this dish. Savory and tender fried chicken with light and crispy waffle with creamy whipped butter topped with that lusciously sweet syrup. Wowzers! Roscoe, who? :) * Grilled Southern Chicken BLT with Cup of Chicken Tortilla Soup - A delicious classic! * Bourbon Peppercorn Glazed Meatloaf with Salt & Pepper Crispy Brussels Sprouts* and Asparagus - This was a huge plate and, boy, did everyone else's dish look so tiny compared to it. Well, it also happened to be the best dish we ordered here. Those crispy brussel sprouts were so good. And that meatloaf - wow! It was very flavorful and just delicious! * Sweet & Spicy Chicken with Mixed Greens Salad - I tried a piece of this chicken and it, too, was delicious! It was also a big dish! * Southern Hospitality Agua Fresca - Oh gosh, I actually was not a fan of this drink. * Fried Green Tomatoes - How could I forget. This was our starter and it was ... fried - too well. However, it had a slightly burnt taste to it. I looked a table next to us and theirs wasn't as dark. I think ours was just a bad batch. I did however, like the sauce around it. Overall, we loved the open and brightly lit space here. So much natural light coming in. And the noise level was just right - I can still talk to my neighbor without yelling or straining to hear them. The service from our young-at heart server was great. She was very knowledgeable and hardworking. Everyone had a good dining experience!

I've visited Tupelo Honey a few times recently, and it's in a fantastic spot right in the heart of Virginia Beach's Town Center. There's a convenient parking garage nearby, along with some street parking options. This time, I went for a friend's birthday celebration, and the service was excellent--accommodating, professional, and efficient. We were seated right away, which was a great start. I ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts as an appetizer for the table, and they were a hit--a true fan favorite. For my entrée, I had the blackened mahi mahi with a side of chicken tortilla soup. Unfortunately, the mahi mahi was underwhelming in both size and flavor, while the soup was just okay. Each time I've dined here, I've tried something different. The food is generally decent, occasionally great, but I've never left feeling fully satisfied. When I do, it's often a heavy feeling--which is to be expected with Southern comfort food. Overall, Tupelo Honey is a good spot with a fun vibe, but it hasn't quite wowed me yet.

Had the drunken grilled cheese and tomato soup- very good. Arrived at 825, party of 4. I parked car and went to bathroom. Came back to server at table taking drink orders, he says we close at 9, kitchen closes 845 and I'm exhausted. Been up since 3 am. I said ok give me just a second I just sat down. He comes back kinda quick and asks again about order, I frankly said dude give us a second- I said why you so tired he says I drive for Coca Cola in the am and do this a few days at night. Ok- I love the hustle- but that's not on me- give me the service I paid for nit what suits your family income.

A little update since my last visit to tupelo honey! I came here for dinner instead of brunch, and there weren't that many choices. I would only come here for brunch. The bowl was not the best, but their drink choices are pretty good like their bloody mary's during brunch. Parking still remains the same.

Went to lunch with one of my friends on Wednesday and the food was not good at al. Nothing was seasoned. It sure wasn't southern. Even the tea was not good. Would not recommend if you are looking for southern flair. The salt and pepper on the table did not help my food either.

Tupelo Honey: A Tale of Funky Flavor and Southern Heft Stepping into Tupelo Honey on a Saturday was like entering a vibrant, slightly eccentric cousin's living room. Funky decor, friendly staff, and prompt service set the stage for a Southern feast - one that ultimately proved to be a delicious, if somewhat calorific, adventure. The starters, warmed pimento cheese dip and fried green tomatoes with goat cheese grits, were delightful. The cheese dip, while a tad grainy, offered a comforting start. The chips, dusted with a surprising sweet-savory cinnamon powder, added an intriguing twist. The fried green tomatoes, while perhaps a bit undercooked for my preference, still delivered that satisfying crunch and tangy flavor, perfectly complemented by the creamy, tangy goat cheese grits. The main event, however, was a rollercoaster of heavy, delicious delights. The Asheville hot chicken with mac and cheese waffles felt like a culinary dare - and while the boneless chicken was convenient, the soggy waffle with mac and cheese on top was a disappointment. The buttermilk fried chicken eggs benedict, a calorie-laden behemoth (1800 calories!!), was an interesting concept, but the dry biscuit and lack of hollandaise left it feeling unbalanced. The hot and sweet fried chicken sandwich, though tasty, fell into the "been there, done that" category. And here's the thing: everything was dense, incredibly dense. Portions are generous, bordering on excessive, with each entree clocking in at over 1300 calories. My party and I found ourselves battling delicious fatigue, eventually succumbing to a post-meal coma that wouldn't be mistaken for productivity. So, here's the verdict: 4 stars for the undeniable flavor bomb and friendly service. This is some true Southern hospitality, complete with the "nap-inducing" kind of food. But unless you're a champion of dense eats and have a cardiologist on speed dial, you might want to approach Tupelo Honey with caution. It's an experience, for sure, but one that might leave you needing a long walk (and maybe visit to your cardiologist) afterwards. In short, a delicious, heavy-handed ode to Southern cuisine. Just be prepared for the culinary equivalent of a full-body workout!

The food was good the ambience was great. I loved our server she was very polite and friendly... will highly recommend for brunch. We were celebrating a friend's birthday at brunch. One of the few restaurants that allows you to make a brunch reservation which is great when you want to have a bigger party (we were 7).

Came here twice last month. Once with my baby sister for a lunch date and then on a Sunday for girls birthday brunch. Both times were good and I got the same thing both times. Smothered chicken. The dish consists of boneless &s kinless fried chicken thighs with milk gravy, basil and I choose collards and mac&cheese the first time and then the second time got collards and grits. If I order this again, I would ask to leave off the basil. I love basil but its a bit much for this dish. Also ordered their biscuits for a cause both times. These biscuits are huge and not the same biscuits they use to give for free. This changed after Covid, but honestly I like these some much that crackly crust oh my and then paired with the blueberry jam takes it over the top. Got the fried green tomatoes as well and that dish never disappoints. Service was great and we all enjoyed our food and time there.

A good brunch spot. I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. I got the Fried Chicken Benedict and it was well seasoned and moist. I didn't enjoy the collard greens too much but they were decent. The potatoes were cooked to perfection. The Tupelo Honey Margarita was so good. Not too sweet and really delicious.

Awesome service and food was delicious. All six of us enjoyed our meal, drinks and the atmosphere. On Father's Day, you expect to wait for tables (even with reservations), drinks and food... we were sat immediately at our reservation time, the service was prompt and friendly and the kitchen was faster that we would have expected with the sold out restaurant for the holiday. Well done to all who worked so hard to ensure families could enjoy a Father's Day meal at a fun place to eat. We will be back for sure!

Tupelo Honey has been our go to for southern food whenever we do our road trips in the south. Yes, it's a franchise brand, but it also is consistent goodness that you can count on. Entrees: *We had the hot honey maple chicken and waffles- crisp and crunch batter, a hint of sweetness and hotness paired with thick waffles. * shrimp and grits is what I always get here and it is just the right amount of seasoned shrimp with creamy cheese grits. Ask for some extra cheddar cheese if you want it cheesier like me. * avocado BLT- a simple classic sandwich and they didn't get it wrong Apps: Their fried green tomatoes app is GREAT. Just the right amount of batter and still crisp even when served on a thin bed of creamy grits and chipotle sauce. Fried pickle chips - thinnnnly sliced and crisped with batter. The middle part of the pickle with the seeds are taken out to prevent them from getting soggy. Served with ranch and perfect to almost cleanse the palate in between bites of your entrees. Located in a cute, smallish downtown in VA beach with plenty of parking. Our server was friendly and checked on us from time to time.

Quickly seated, friendly service, southern touches of comfort food. A nice visit for a quick bite. Chicken and waffles were a quick try. Ok... Only dessert on the menu that was available was the pecan pie which was good. Filled with pecans and perfect for a sweet tooth. As it is drizzled with chocolate and a side of whipped cream.

Wow this is restaurant is one of my wife's and I's favorite place to have a family gathering and our favorite little spot for a breakfast date! This time around we were celebrating my mother's birthday. The location is THE BEST in Virginia Beach Town Center with a public (free parking) right next to the restaurant. The place has always been beautiful, the staff and service is just top notch. The bar is a classic bee hive them on the wall and it is just a great place to have breakfast drinks with friends and catch up! My wife's favorite meal is the "for a cause biscuits" with shrimp and grits and mine is the classic blueberry waffles with their amazing fried chicken! They serve the blueberries warm with whip cream and just add a little bit of syrup and OH MY it's is so good! Their mimosas are amazing they are not too strong and come in two sizes of flutes or a classic cup "mega" size which is just $3 more! Oh for birthdays they offer a free slice of pie like pecan, pumpkin, sweat potato and it's totally worth getting those too they are soooooo sweet and delicious :)

BEWARE: DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY FORM OF VIRTUAL PAYMENT. Since the introduction of virtual payment technology a decade ago, I have transitioned into the formerly all-male prerogative of not carrying a purse. My iPhone carries my credit cards, ApplePay, and a dozen other entities that used to be carried in physical form in my purse. I had two guests - my treat - to a meal at Tupelo Honey. I was unable to pay the bill; my guests had to do so. I certainly won't return here until Tupelo Honey catches up to today's reality. As to the food, the pumpkin soup was delicious as long as you worked around the sour cream. The shrimp po boy was cold. The Brussels sprouts were served in some sauce that killed the taste of the sprouts. NOT my Asheville experience, for sure.

Great service and great food! I went here with some friends for brunch. I hadn't been in years so I was glad to have a nice dining experience. I like how they have various seating options - you could sit at a high top, the bar, outside, or inside at a traditional table. The service was great - we were at a high top and both servers were spot on. They answered all questions, and the food arrive my rather quickly. Let's talk about those biscuits...simply delish! The old skool breakfast bowl was good too. The grits were nice and creamy. I ended up adding a chicken thigh as I needed more protein. The blueberry lavender mimosa was good too. I got a brown butter pecan pie to go -- just divine! I can't wait to go back!

We went here for my best friend's wedding dinner. I love how they were able to accommodate everyone and the service was very quick. The owner even came out and greeted the party. This place gives so many good vibes. Music is playing. It's very clean. The food is delicious. They're very generous with the alcohol in their drinks. I have no complaints about this restaurant. It's definitely a good addition to Virginia Beach. Highly recommend this place for a big group or even just a catch-up date with a friend (but definitely make a reservation if you're able to!)
