Trying different Southern comfort food spots in Charlotte can be a hit or miss. Tupelo Honey Cafe is definitely a hit! Absolutely delicious. I'm full and still have food to take home. The portions will not leave you disappointed or hungry.
We came at 7pm on a Saturday and was seated right away by a warm and friendly Hostess. Our waitress was plesant and helpful with making a choice and our water glass was never empty.
The Menu isn't overwhelming with too many options but just the right amount to make a great selection. I had the Shoo Pancake served with bacon, candied pecans, warm maple syrup, and a crisy, absolutely delicious, boneless chicken breast. BTW, the Pancake is HUGE and it's sweet potato. I am sooooo happy right now!
The sweet potato pancake taste like sweet potatoes! Not some food coloring or spice but an actual sweet potato the only dislike was my bacon. I love my bacon well done, extra crispy, a little Cajun, lol. Although it wasn't bad I just wish it was crispy. This dish is not overly sweet; it was a great balance of sweet and salty.
My Husband had the Fried Chicken with the brussel sprouts and fried okra. You can choose your own sides and they have yummy selections. It was two pieces of boneless fried chicken breast with yummy gravy over it. The Biscuit that comes out before your meal with the blueberry perseve is delicious. The right amount of crunch on the outside while being moist on the inside.
I will definitely be back to try other dishes. The price is right, the place is warm and the staff is friendly. I'm definitely bringing friends back with me.
