Tupelo Honey is a total win! The vibe is fun and welcoming, and the food? Incredible. The fried chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the biscuits—wow. Definitely get the biscuits. Loved the unique cocktails too (highly recommend the one with the Old Fashion Flight!). Service was friendly and fast, and everything just felt relaxed but still special. Perfect spot for brunch or a laid-back dinner with friends. Can’t wait to go back!
