We ended up here mainly because Leroy Fox South End SUCKS!! So we came across Tupelo on Yelp and since it was close by we decided to give a try. We were craving some southern comfort food so it seemed like the right choice. It was interesting seeing Angie Harmon (Law & Order) at the bar, but on to the review.
We were greeted immediately and seated promptly. Maria our server was excellent. The sweet tea was delicious, the complimentary biscuits were meh! Their menu is very limited and to my surprise they DO NOT serve any mashed potatoes! Unreal, a southern restaurant that doesn't serve mash is blasphemy.
From their limited menu I picked the Blackened Catfish which was very fishy accompanied with baked Mac & Cheese and French fries. The sides were actually pretty good. We also ordered the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and that was very good!
Their portions are fair, but their prices are steep. The sweet tea is delicious and as usual it's free refills.
The main reason for the 2 star review is due to the limited menu with no mashed potato on it, and the absurdly small portion of banana pudding which they charge $6.50 for! The container is so tiny and to make matters worse, they don't even fill the container! GREEDY!!!
It's definitely not an authentic Southern Restaurant and more of a tourist trap. I wouldn't recommend it.
