| - Finally we were able to try out Tupelo for weekend brunch! We walked in earlier today to find a 10-15 minute wait for 2 people, not bad, but we just ended up seating ourselves in the bar area. The waitress was nice but, very unorganized. We waited at the empty table we found for a few minutes before she came to wipe it off. We pretty much new what we wanted so we were ready to go, ordered the fried green tomatoes to split and then I ordered the Eggs Betty and he ordered the Fried chicken platter with fried okra. The place got pretty crowded after we sat down so the food took a bit. I was super excited to try their biscuits and berry preserve but, the server never brought them by!
Our fried green tomatoes came out, yum!!! The bf loved the goat cheese grits even though he hates goat cheese normally..shhhh I didn't tell him. Very creamy, delish. The actual tomatoes were fried to perfection with the perfect amount of batter but, a little too thick of a tomato slice. Still very good with the flavorful red pepper coolie. I couldn't help myself after we finished the fried green tomatoes and asked the server to bring out the complimentary biscuits and preserves everyone else but us received (docked a star). I'm so glad I did because they were so good! Buttery, flaky goodness! The preserves are spot on! They have blackberry but you can also buy to take home and they have strawberry and blueberry preserves as well. This would be perfect if served with honey butter or something.
The entrees! I was already full at this point so its just nibbling from here on out. My Eggs Betty included the most perfect poached eggs I've ever tasted, wonderfully runny! YUMM! The potato cracklins were super crispy but, needed some seasoning. All in all great entree that will for sure leave you in food coma status. The bf scarfed his fried chicken down, I didn't even get try try any lol. But, his fried okra side was perfect! Not too heavily battered but, still very crispy and extra fresh! I will be getting these next time.
The server took her time bringing the check out, we were basically sitting there for 30 minutes after we finished eating. She was nice but, needs to be a tad more organized for weekend brunch, I'm sure it can get stressful if you aren't on top of it.
