Why Travelers Love Tupelo Honey

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.4 / 5.0(3,343 reviews)

Outstanding service and food. Very vibrant restaurant. Super clean love the seating arrangement amazing food inside and out. Refreshing drinks and scrumptious food. Definitely wanna come back again. Chicken done right and a large menu of items to choose from. Everything is pretty much delicolious. Good drinks selection to pair with too. Service is very excellent. I will definitely go back if ever in Denver again. I ordered takeout from Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar last night, and it was an absolute revelation. Everything – and I mean *everything* – was delicious. We got the chicken finger family sampler, shrimp and grits, and pecan pie, along with fried okra, fried pickles, Brussels sprouts, and mac & cheese. As someone from Alabama, I can tell you this food genuinely brought back childhood memories. The flavors were spot-on authentic. The chicken fingers were perfectly Southern-fried with that ideal crispy coating and juicy interior. The shrimp and grits couldn’t have been more authentic – creamy, perfectly seasoned grits with beautifully cooked shrimp. Every side dish held its own, from the tangy crunch of the fried pickles to the comforting richness of the mac & cheese. What I especially appreciate is the restaurant’s namesake itself. For those unfamiliar, Tupelo honey comes from the white Ogeechee Tupelo trees that grow in the swamps of the Deep South, primarily in northwest Florida and southern Georgia. This rare, prized honey – which never crystallizes – has been treasured in Southern cuisine for generations. It’s a beautiful touch that the restaurant honors this connection, bringing a piece of authentic Southern heritage to Denver. Most people here probably don’t realize the significance, but it shows the care and authenticity behind everything Tupelo Honey does. I picked up our order rather than dining in (I’m not huge on venturing into the city, but I do love trying new food!). The takeout was perfectly packaged and the food traveled beautifully. If you’re craving real Southern cooking in Denver, this is your place. Highly recommended.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The service was rocky at first, I was overlooked 4 different times before being told someone would help you soon. After that the waitress was great and the food was delicious, especially the roasted potatoes. The chicken on the pancakes is not so great, but the eggs made up for it. Overall, it was a decent experience that will leave you feeling satisfied.
