Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar -Food CA (Near Irving)

4 /5 Hip Hop: Food is tremendous, as are the drinks. Blackened Mahi Mahi was damn near perfect - spice was on point and the sauce was creamy. Fried okra was excellent. The collard greens with the bacon had a good amount of heat to them. Did take a bit to get our food and we didnt get our greens with the order - had to ask for them to be brought out to us. Overall though, would definitely come back for the food.

3 /5 T.A. P.: We visited for a weekend ladies trip breakfast, and while the location has potential, the experience was disappointing due to rigidity and basic issues. First, we had to move our party outside immediately because the indoor dining area had a distinct, unpleasant odor (possibly a plumbing issue). The main frustration came when ordering. I wanted to try the fried green tomatoes with a side of chicken. Our server, who was helpful, initially advised the side came as two pieces (thighs or breasts). However, they quickly returned to say the restaurant was out of a la carte chicken thighs. Shockingly, the manager refused to accommodate a simple substitution for a chicken leg or wing instead. This unwillingness to be flexible when an item is out of stock is a significant issue for customer service. Other surprising limitations to note: The restaurant does not carry any fresh fruit. The only non-pork breakfast meats available are a side of two chicken pieces, chicken tenders, or vegan soy-sage. Be aware that the red pepper sauce is surprisingly spicy (a minor point, but worth mentioning). Overall, the food we did receive was adequate, but the service inflexibility and the unusual menu gaps mean that I will likely not return to this location.

5 /5 Breanna Kern: Everything was great! The food was incredible and very fresh, they have a great happy hour from 4-6 p.m. with half off appetizers and drink specials (delicious fried okra), the cocktails were very good and balanced, and the service was very good. I was surprised this place wasnt packed with people! Definitely recommend if you are looking for delicious southern inspired food.

5 /5 Skylar Abel: My husband and I went for our anniversary before a concert and I would definitely come back. I would like to mention if you are not a huge fan of breakfast items or food, this place is heavily revolved around a menu similar to that with dinner fusions. I had no idea what to expect (not from Texas area) and the food felt soulful. We started with the fried pickles and the biscuits with peach and blueberry jam/butter combo (its an extra dollar for both which wasnt a big deal for us). The pickles were dusted with "bee pollen" which made them the perfect sweet and savory. The biscuits were so so fluffy and the combo on the jam/butter was fabulous. For our main courses my husband got the smothered chicken with goat cheese grits and crispy potatoes, as well as a cup of the chicken soup. The soup was comforting, it was savory with a hint of sweet. The chicken was so good as well as the sides, the goat cheese grits werent my fan favorite but that was based off personal taste. I received the Peppercorn Meatloaf with crispy Brussels and the Mac and cheese. Everything was so favulous and our server was so so attentive. The atmosphere, the merch and hospitality was amazing. Definitely worth the check out

5 /5 Shaiquiar Smith: This is a very cute not too large restaurant for a good brunch or lunch. The food was amazing, and the service there was over the top. Has outdoor seating, and would make a good place for a small group to go and get something to eat. There is a bar inside with a couple of TVs. The drink below is a lavender lemonade, it might be called something else on the menu, but I was not disappointed. 10 out of 10 highly recommend.
