Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar - Southern restaurant (US) in Upper Arlington - 1678 W Lane Ave, USA

Went for restaurant week. I got fried green tomatoes that were very hard. A salad came with my entree of shrink and grits. The shrimp were very small and in a sauce with hot sausage. The grits were okay but kinda smothered everything. I had a banana pudding for dessert and it was lovely. My companion had the steak and it was very well cooked.

I really enjoyed my lunch here! The whole restaurant is so cozy and inviting. The servers were very kind and helpful. Everything on their menu sounded delicious. I got the lunch combo special which includes a half sandwich of your choice and 2 sides of your choice. I got the Asheville Hot Chicken and Ranch Melt with fries and collard greens. Everything was perfect.

Went for both of my daughters' birthday dinner. Got 3 appetizers, fried pickles, spicy cauliflower and pimento cheese dip. All were very good. The pickles were very thin and crispy. My oldest is not a pickle fan but loved them. There were too many tasty sounding options, so I panicked and went with the Chicken BLT sandwich, and our waiter recommended the Mac and cheese, which was very good. Sandwich was huge and very tasty. Everyone loved their choices, Asheville chicken and Mac and cheese waffles for 2, 1 got reg chicken and waffles and 1 got the a chicken sandwich and tortilla soup. We mentioned we were celebrating bdays and our waiter immediately offered pecan pie or banana pudding to the girls. We added a large serving for the rest of us to share. Best banana pudding we'd ever had. Will definitely go back to try more things on the menu.

The food was great! The siracha chicken and waffles were great. Not too spicy but a good heat along with the syrup gave the right amount of spicy/sweet combo. Probably better than I’ve had any where else. My wife got the Mac and cheese chicken and waffles and while it was good the cheese was too much for me personally as I’m not a big fan of creamy texture. I highly recommend to anyone looking to try something new. And the price was reasonable. Add two mimosas and our total was about 55 dollars give or take.

It's okay. One and done. A "upscale" diner experience. Cost more than what you get! Mainly chicken dishes mixed in with honey. I got shrimp and grits. It was soupy gritty. I grew up in Georgia. Not the grits I had as a child! The condiments is comical. You get a thimble size and they charge you .75 cents for that! Liquid gold! On to the next place... Free parking in the back garage.

We made reservations for a Friday evening and got seated fairly quickly. They have options for inside and outside, but it was a bit too hot for outside. There's free parking all around the plaza and a garage and there's usually plenty of parking. It does get a bit loud inside but it's fun and lively to be in. It's really bright and pretty inside, lively and cozy, and has a lot of fake plants which warms up the space. Staff is super nice and really accommodating, but our service was a bit slow but they were busy and it was filling up quickly. There's also bar seating, and their bar is bright and pretty. We got their Fried Green Tomatoes, Cauliflower Bites, famous Honey Dusted Fried Chicken, Cast Iron Pork, and Salmon with Quinoa. Their green tomatoes were delicious, fried well, and sauce was a good pairing. The cauliflower bites were absolutely delicious with he sauce on top and ranch. Their fried chicken was tender for the most part and crispy, but I wish the seasoning was a bit more strong because it wasn't shining through. The cast iron pork was tender and flavorful, covered in bbq sauce. The salmon was good, but I think it was a bit overcooked and dry. I was slightly disappointed in each dish, but overall it was a great atmosphere, decent food, and kind staff. We also got the Blood Orange Margarita, Southern Hospitality, and the House Made Ginger Beer. All drinks were delicious and made well and refreshing! I would recommend for small groups, a casual date, and decent food. I would come back and try other dishes, they sounded good and I'm curious. It's also a nice area to walk around and there are shopping stores surrounding the plaza.

Went here for brunch on a Sunday morning. Once again, the food was very disappointing. The steak and eggs was completely burned. See photos. The sear was an absolute fossilization. Please see the photos. We gave it multiple chances but the food just isn’t good. Our server Tyler was 10/10. Excellent

There's always a fear that places like Tupelo Honey take good pictures and sound great but can't really back it up. Happy to say that Tupelo lives up to the hype! Group got the biscuits and fried pickles for appetizers and both were really good. I had the chicken and mac-and-cheese waffles for dinner because it seemed unique and I figured why not. Chicken was great and a good blend of spicy and savory. My one issue was the waffles were...a lot and didn't end up finishing them. Still tasty though! Our server, Layla, was great and super helpful since it was all of our first time!
