new south flavors. scratch-made fun.™

At Tupelo Honey Cafe, our transformation of just about everything Southern – from fried chicken to sweet potatoes to shrimp and grits – is decidedly spirited,

independent, and frequently unscripted. But our fare is always scratch-made, creative, full-of-flavor and farm-fresh. We serve it all with a healthy measure of fun

– with our heartfelt promise of delivering an experience worthy of the memories that tend to be made around our table.
