| - Geez this place is so good! Went here this past Saturday to experience the amazingness of Tupelo Honey. We have been to the Asheville location many times and couldn't wait to try it out.
We walked here from our apartment.....yes, lucky us! So, I can't comment on the ease of parking but the parking lot looked extremely full when we left.
We arrived around 5:45 and was told that it was a 30 minute wait. I saw an empty table in the bar area and asked the hostess if the bar area was first come first serve. It was, so we sat there. Just a warning, the bar area fills up super fast (especially now that it is cold outside and no one wants to wait out doors). So, if you want a quiet, non-crowding meal, you may just wanna wait for a table.
Drinks- We both ordered the Tupelo Honey Rye Ale. It was delicious and decently priced. Their craft brew selections were pretty good, especially those within the state.
Biscuits- The biscuits are like a slice of heaven! The come with a thng of blackberry jam and some of their honey (of course!) I split mine in half so I could have one half with jam and one half with honey....best of both worlds!
Food- I ordered the grilled cheese (pimento and havarti) with a cup of tomato soup and my husband ordered the fried chicken with a mushroom sauce and mashed cauliflower. Both meals were very good. Some of the best pimento cheese I have ever had! The tomato soup is a little on the sweeter side. My husbands chicken was the winner though, soooooo tasty. The cauliflower side was a little off....I don't know, maybe not enough cheese or something. But the chicken, man that chicken!
All in all, we will absolutely return. Just come super early or at weird times to avoid a wait because, yes, there will 100% be a good wait there.
