Reviews for Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar in Arlington, VA

This was my first time here. I came here for my birthday and it was a pretty okay experience but it could’ve been better. The... food was fine. The chicken and waffles here were so good. The brussel sprouts were kinda bland however everything else waspretty good. The biscuits were okay. The waiter though I probably saw him 1-2 times the entire night. He never came back torefill my water, I did ask but he never came. I had to ask another waiter to help us out. I just feel he could’ve been a lotmore attentive and present. The experience was weird honestly. I didn’t feel welcome the food was good though Read more

My husband and I had a lunch date here one Friday and we had the best experience. We made a 11 AM reservations and were a few... minutes late. It wasn’t busy yet, as they had just opened and we beat the lunch rush. The service was great. The host andserver were attentive and friendly. I ordered a Bloody Mary that was tasty with the fried green tomatoes and fried pickles. Thefood was great, service was also and we never felt rushed. We will be back. Read more

My third time at this location and it didn't disappoint. I'm a vegetarian so trying to find available options for breakfast can... be a chore, but not impossible. I was able to swap meat for veggie sausage and it's great. I don't know for sure (maybe it's aTupelo Honey secret) but the veggie sausage tastes alot like the morning star brand except crispy and absolutely delicious. AsI said in a previous review, I went for the pancakes and stayed for the grits. I was sad that sweet potato pancakes are nolonger on the menu, but the creamy grits and eggs along with the blueberry waffles more than made up for it. I really enjoycoming to this place and next time I plan to enjoy a few of their specialty cocktails. Really clean and inviting atmosphere anda great place to socialize with friends, either outside on the small patio or inside. I will definitely be returning. Update8/20/2022 - I went again this morning and this time added a few photos of my meal. The classic breakfast with scrambled eggs,grits, and toast, and also opted for the blueberry waffles. Yummy!! Finished it off with a Tupelo Honey Margarita made withtheir house made honey liqueur. Go on down and visit. You won't regret it. I've included a shot of the menu too. Read more

Brunch was so good we decided to come back for dinner. We didn’t find a single thing we disliked between the 7 diners over two... meals. Great southern food. Get the biscuits so you have an excuse to eat their blueberry jam. Fried chicken is amazing. Servicewas good and the food came out of the kitchen fast. Read more

This trip wasn't the best. The biscuits were really salty. The dish I ordered came with biscuits, but someone smashed them on my... plate, I couldn't even eat them. The fried chicken was bland, and greens tasted wrong. The waffle was almost soggy soft. Not myfirst time, but might be my last, I was so disappointed with my meal I couldn't even eat it. It was so bad I almost cried. Bestthing was the fried green tomatoes! except for the basil chiffonade, it's cut too big and really shouldn't on the plate itshould be pureed. Read more

This was my first time having Sunday brunch and it did not disappoint! Food was fresh and favorable! Customer service was over... the top. There wasn't one person that we encountered that didn't make us feel welcome! Reasonably priced and really goodportions. We couldn't decide so...we didn't lol! We ordered a lot though!! They also have a very well stocked bar area and havegreat outdoor seating that is out of the way of those passing by. The atmosphere was so friendly we could've stayed all day!! Wedidn't try everything and this gives us a reason to go back!! parking available on Wilson Blvd ( longshot... it IS Arlington;)Great thing they are very closely situated next to a parking garage;) Read more

Creative take on Southern style comfort food in the big city. Far past any expectations you have. Ambience- Warm and inviting... look. Wearing a suit all week it’s nice to see the flannel uniforms. Even the sizzle resonating from kitchen was uniquelysouthern. Cleanliness-Clean place overall. We did get there at 9am. Outside seating area looked great. The temp was 2.0degrees so we couldn’t enjoy this. Menu- Sirachia Chicken is a must. Presentation-Southern class on a plate. Price- alittle on the high side but who isn’t now a days. Service-TRUST ME on this ask for Shineeta. She felt more like a friendthan a serving professional. Do your self a favor and breakaway from the norm. T Honey is the place to go! Read more

Definitely one of my favorite places I’ve enjoyed in a long time. I ordered the Sriracha Honey Chicken and Waffles and my... brother ordered the chicken that’s been marinated I forgot the name. However, it was delicious. The waffle was the perfecttexture and the chicken had the right amount of crunch and tenderness. We both had a Paloma which just made everythingright(perfect). The staff was amazing Lawrence the general manager, Tim and Jim really took care of us. When I am back in thearea I would definitely return with a smile. Read more
