Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar

Husband found this place while deciding where to go for valentines day. We finally made it over today and it was well worth the wait. Everything screams Southern, the cups with "Bless Your Heart" printed on them (iykyk), the cook on the food was perfect. Start with the drop biscuits, the money from these go to charity and then head into the meal choices, it seems whatever you pick will not steer you wrong. Becca was our server and she was so sweet and quick with everything. Husband had the meatloaf sided with Mac and cheese and green beans, perfect amount of food to not leave him feeling overstuffed but definitely satisfied. I had the half bird original sided with mashed potatoes and fried okra. I easily took half of the half bird home as it was a lot of food for me. I am not complaining t

I think that the atmosphere here was great! This would be a great place for a celebratory brunch. I had the spicy chicken and waffle and while it was good, it was definitely not the best I have ever had. I think the food was also a bit over priced. I will definitely try it again, and order something different next time. (We only had 2 people and arrived before 10 am, I’ve heard it gets busy after that)

EDIT: I'm adjusting my review score from three stars to two since the owner is only responding to fake five star reviews. New screenshot attached. I will restore it to three stars if the owner develops integrity and responds to my review in good faith. I tried Tupelo for Restaurant Week. While the $20 offer was a fair (not outstanding) deal, I'd be hard pressed to eat here any other time. The service was good. My bartender Rachel was friendly and polite, and she kept on top of things. The interior is nice to look at, though it's clear this place focuses more on the "classy bar" aesthetic than it does a southern kitchen look. The food was just okay. For the starter I chose the chicken poblano soup. It had a nice texture, but it was a little bland. More seasoning would have fixed it. The

We had a fantastic dinner at Tupelo Honey (the new Lenexa spot—worth the drive from Blue Springs!). The food was spot-on, and the vibe inside is super inviting and fun. The place has such a cool Southern charm: that glowing "Kiss my grits" neon sign surrounded by lush greenery and snowflake accents is a total standout—great for photos! The ceiling is draped with beautiful purple wisteria vines that give the whole dining area a fresh, garden-like feel, even in the winter. The bar setup is impressive with its long lineup of bottles and hanging lights, and the spacious, bustling room full of happy diners just adds to the energy. They even have a nice covered patio out back with string lights and yellow chairs—looks perfect for warmer evenings! I went with the smothered chicken (my wife's ic

Tried our local Tupelo Honey and will definitely be back! The best part of our visit was our server Gracey! She was sweet, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu (it was our first time) and very attentive! I tried a lemonade cocktail that was amazing and we had the biscuit appetizer with peach jam! Sooo good! We had the fried chicken this time although their menu is full of must try items, mine was spicy and my husband had the regular both with the parm potatoes- our food came out super fast! Gracey recommended the banana pudding to finish and it was perfect. It had vanilla wafers in the bottom - nice surprise -and crumbled on top. Parking was ample and very little wait with a reservation. We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to this location!
