I was on my way to Tupelo Honey, but they weren't open at 10:30 so I decided to stop in and check this place out instead. I pulled on the fork and bellied up to the bar. They had a good assortment of local beer and a friendly bartender. I decided to skip the alcohol and went straight for the deviled eggs. They tasted as I expected. Nothing spectacular, but still hit the spot for deviled eggs. The presentation was nice and they came out very quickly.
For my entree I had the meatloaf sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. The meatloaf sandwich was awesome with the spicy ketchup. It was everything I expected and more. Tender meatloaf on a delicious bun with spicy ketchup? What isn't to like?
The mac and cheese? I think there are as many mac and cheese recipes in the south as there are stars in the sky. We all have a preference for a different type. I personally prefer the big ziti-type noodle in bechamel type sauce with baked-on cheese on top...almost like a macaroni casserole. This was almost the opposite. The noodles were big spirals and were awesome, but the cheese was smooth like velveeta. It still tasted good, but I prefer my Mac and Cheese to have a bit of personality.
The real star of the meal was the bartender who kept my tea constantly full. Great service and good food = repeat business in my book.
