Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen

Great place. Staff was very friendly. I got the fried chicken thighs. They were very well done. Tried milk gravy for first time. It was ok. Tortilla soup was good. Nice small portion. I don't remember name of the other dish. Very tasty. The place is clean.

The food was good. The prices were expensive. We came early for our rez had to wait even though SEVERAL tables sat empty for good long while. Our server was a young punk on Sat night (the one with the dark curly mop . He didn’t come by to give us refills. When we asked things of him like refills or our check, he intentionally walked slow dragging his foot (like we did 30 years ago as teenagers trying to look “tough” . The face he made with his eye cocked like we were inconveniencing him pissed us off. We were a table of military and that disrespect disgusted us. We all noticed it. I have had to give a bad tip almost never and $5 is all he got, but $0 was more fair to us.

Great location on the Market Square. Great food and great service.

We had fried green tomatoes, a quinoa bowl and cocktails. The cocktails were only so so. The fried green tomatoes had the exact same sauce as the quinoa bowl. A little disappointed, as there are very limited vegan/vegetarian options. I'm sure they're chicken is probably good, just not for us.

Another excellent choice for fine dining and delicious cuisine in downtown Knoxville! Fyi, I would recommend reservations on the weekends, especially for brunch!
