Overall
  • we were grateful for the walk back to our hotel.
  • Tupelo Honey Cafe has to be one of the best eateries in Asheville.
  • the experience is just so beautiful.
  • Great food and place.
  • I recommend this place but arrive very early
  • have always had a great experience.
  • Everything that we ordered was perfectly prepared and amazingly delicious.
  • Comfortable, yet more sophisticated than a casual spot, this café is especially popular for Sunday brunch and late-night dining.

Food
  • That said, I did not love the coffee.
  • A great variety of simple southern cuisine with a twist....This combined with a great selection of local beers and a great location make this place a top pick.
  • one of my favorite Asheville dining experiences!
  • Great food and place.
  • Brunch was delicious!...and their homemade apple butter....The coffee was excellent too.
  • Excellent food...The food was so good.
  • I had breakfast and it was very tasty....I had the sweet potato pancake.
  • The pimento cheese dip is a tangy, classic southern appetizer....The breakfast potatoes are crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked, but always in need of a little salt....Their biscuits are moist on the inside with a little crunch on the outside.
  • Fresh ingredients, support local farms, fantastic food, reasonable prices.
  • Great Food, But Expect A Wait
  • Light, flaky biscuits come topped with not-too-greasy sausage and bacon gravy.

  • This is one of the most popular dining experiences in town, featuring regional twists on classic entrees (ie: the Reuben is made with chow-chow instead of saurkraut).

  • They have homemade biscuits with raspberry jam, and expect to be filled up after one of those....If you can't wait to get in here, many go over to Mayfels, which has good food also, just lacking the same atmosphere.
  • . Sweet Potatoe Pancakes, Blueberry Blintzes, GRITS, homemade biscuits with honey (no, it's not all breakfast food--I'm just a breakfast fan)
Service
  • The waitstaff is typical Asheville, a friendly crew who all look like they play folksy guitar in their spare time....Per the business of the place, service is fast and efficient.
  • Every dish I have had there was perfection, the wait staff knowledgeable and curtious
  • The service is friendly and pretty good.
  • Servers are down-home sweet.

  • Nice place, surrounded by clubs in Asheville and right across the street from Pritchard Park.
  • We were ushered to the back of the restaurant where there was a sitting area with complimentary coffee.
  • The atmosphere was very nice.
