| - IN SUMMARY: EXCELLENT BRUNCH - MAKE RESERVATIONS IF YOU CAN!
I had never been to Tupelo Honey Cafe before, and didn't realize it was a sister location to at least one other in Asheville, NC. I've always heard great things, but never had an excuse to venture out until recently. I went on a Sunday morning to meet two of my friends for brunch. We had an 11AM reservation, and when we first arrived, there were a few parties waiting to be seated, but we were quickly given a table. I will say, as we left, it was PACKED and there were many parties waiting for a table. So if you can, make a reservation.
Breakfast/brunch is my favorite meal - period. I love anything breakfast, but when I go to brunch I usually get the 'everything' meal (eggs, bacon, pankcakes, etc...). If I don't do that, I will get the eggs benedict. I decided to go outside the box and ordered their breakfast bowl. YUM! I would never have ordered this because it's not my kind of dish, but I'd seen a photo online and it looked so tasty. Plus, being a southern fresh food kind of place, I decided to give it a try. I am SO glad I did. It was more than enough food, but it was so good I ate it all up!
My friends both got the BLT sandwich, which they seemed to like, but both complained it was greasy and they needed to wash their hands before leaving. We all ordered coffee - it was good coffee. The goat cheese grits were so tasty. I love goat cheese, but even if you don't like goat cheese, don't let that scare you away. It wasn't strong, it was just savory, creamy & cheesy. No extra salt or pepper needed. While we waited for our food, our waiter brought perfectly cooked homemade biscuits and homemade blueberry jam/jelly. The jam/preserves (whatever it's called) was really good. I'd buy it to take home. I had a few pieces of blueberry in it, but they weren't tough or dry or unwelcomed at all. I liked the pieces. Our waiter was fantastic as well. He was patient when we needed more time and helpful when needed. He was also very attentive and kept our drinks full.
Let me know if this review helped you or if you have any questions, I'll answer what I can. It was very good - so give it a try!
