There is a Tupelo Honey restaurant in Knoxville, TN that is one of my favorites. This Charlotte one just fell short of my expectations. We went on Friday night around 6:30-7:00pm, and the restaurant wasn't crowded at all. That was our first clue.
The food we ordered was just okay. The brussel sprouts and hominy was ruined by the overpowering horseradish taste, the macaroni and cheese was very dry, and the biscuits weren't warm. The trout and blackened catfish we ordered were good, but the best item was the fried green tomatoes appetizer. We ordered water and the bill was over $70 with tip for 2 people. I don't think we'll be back to this location.
