Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar - Southern restaurant (US) in Myrtle Beach - 3042 Howard Ave, USA

Alright, let's start with the good. Atmosphere and service was excellent. Our hostess and server were super nice. Had a great experience service-wise. Now, the bad. Let me preface this with me being a fried chicken connoisseur. It is my favorite food and I've had it in 49 states. I was excited to try this place. First red flag for me is, I ordered the bone-in dark but I couldn't add extra pieces of chicken. It comes with a 3 piece, but I wanted a few extra. My wife ordered the Asheville hot fried chicken with the mac and cheese waffles. Kids had chicken tenders kids meal. As my wife takes her first bite, she asked me to try it because she couldn't taste any flavor. I tried and I couldn't either. I tried my bone in dark chicken and same thing. Chicken was way under seasoned and very bland. Skin was chewy, not crunchy. The kids did not like their chicken tenders and ended up eating the fries. I was a bit disappointed being a fried chicken fan.

I love the atmosphere. It's spacious and the booths are comfortable. My Southern Hospitality Mimosa was very good. Food was great. Service was awesome. Alma was our server who was sweet and attentive.

Friendly staff, i especially enjoyed our waitress. I can't remember her name but she was amazing! The atmosphere is very relaxing and chill. Their waffles is definitely something to try,highly recommend!! Lol! Will definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Definitely stepped out my box and tried something different with place. I ordered the bacon and sausage cast iron scramble. I was nervous with all the peperonata, green tomatoes, and aioli drizzle on my eggs, but it was ok. It was very flavorful, and im glad I tried something different. The plating was very elegant. The only thing I didn't like was the cheese grits. It came with goat cheese, and it was bad, but the grits could have cooked longer they were gritty/ hard. We loved the chicken and waffle.

We all enjoyed this dining experience. We loved our server who was very helpful. He seemed to have tried everything and able to answer all questions. We thought it was a soul food restaurant but it was more middle of the road Southern food. The decor was nice, to match the food!

We reserved the private room for a bridal shower and everything was wonderful. This was a destination wedding so we had never been here before, but they did not disappoint! Cassie, the event coordinator, was so patient, gracious and accommodating. The room was set up and we were allowed to add our own special touches. The wait staff and hostesses were AWESOME and the food was simply Delicious. Hats off to the kitchen! Sorry I don't have any pictures of all the food, but we had meatballs, shrimp skewers and deviled eggs for appetizers. The main course was honey-dusted chicken, chicken and waffles, "smack-a-roni" and cheese, "kick-butt" collard greens and a garden salad. We will definitely return to Tupelo Honey when visiting Myrtle Beach in the future!

I ordered the harvest bowl with grilled chicken. For $22 I got a piece of broccolini, 3 TBs of quinoa, a few slices of carrots, radishes, etc. and some red pepper sauce. The serving all together was no more than a heaping cup of mixed vegetables. Oh and I forgot to mention the three slices of cold grilled chicken. Fries tasted like cardboard, we could not even finish them. If you have money to spend that's great but I still would not spend it here.... However, service was great, Blake was our server and he more than made up for the horrible food experience we had.

Fantastic first experience here! Our table neighbors had the mac n chicken waffles and we ordered it too and so glad we did. I had the shrimp and grits and they were also excellent. Will def be back!
