It had been a while since I visited Tupelo Honey. A friend sent me a text and asked "Brunch?" I shot back "Where?" and Tupelo was suggested. I grabbed a reservation 2-3 days before the day we wanted to go and I'm certainly glad I did. When we got there it seemed as though all of Charlotte was there! I picked 10:45 on Opentable and we waited only about 5 minutes for our table to be cleared. Keep in mind to add a few minutes to try and find parking as its limited. Tupelo is very close to the E/W Blvd Lynxx stop though too.
We started with the fried green tomatoes which I di denjoy. They are nestled in a red pepper sauce which screamed Spring to me. Four slices come in an order.
By 11 am, they were out of what my companions wanted to eat; huevos rancheros. So, one went with the southwestern omelet with chorizo, avocado and cheese/salsa/sour cream. Its big; probably a 3 egg omelet. She added grits. The other dining companion ordered the Eggs Betty which is their take on a benedict. Its pretty traditional. I ordered the avocado toast. Gotta eat it quickly if you don't want the avocado to make the thick, country slice of bread soggy. It was a generous amount of avocado though. It comes with some dressed greens and beets. The greens were soggy so maybe too heavily dressed.
My favorite thing I ate was the potato cracklins on the sides menu. Those are a must in my opinion!
They have your standard mimosas and bloody marys, etc., but they are charging a hefty price for them. Get a glass of rose instead!
