    It was great food, service and everything else. Drove from Minnesota for a Christmas show at the Civic Center and made a good choice!

    Great food and excellent service! That harvest bowl is amazing and my husband thought the dill pickle chips we ordered for an appetizer were the best he's ever had!

    Food served incorrectly. Ordered half chicken, but instead of thigh received two drumsticks. Had to ask for thigh to be served. Waiting for order slow. Had to remind to check on thigh

    We sat outdoors. The only bad thing were the tiny bugs everywhere, but if you don’t want to deal with the bugs indoors is where it’s at. It was too beautiful to stay indoors. Our food was delicious. Our waitress was attentive and dinner was quick to the table. The price was also great.

    We LOVED Tupelo Honey. The one “sad” note was they were out of fried green tomatoes. We were so bummed. We were not sure how you run out of something so early in the evening but we so enjoyed everything else! The meatloaf with mac-n-cheese was yummy as were the biscuits for a cause and the dessert duo. If you like lavender you must try the blueberry and lavender porch sipper!

    We were on time for our reservation. Didn’t see a waitress for 10 minutes. When she arrived she was rude and said it would be another few minutes. We left and found another restaurant. We will not return.

    The food was not hot. I've been in there multiple times and always asked if we wanted biscuits our waiter never asked. Slow service.

    Overall the food was good; not necessarily outstanding. Service was very good but still allowed us to visit and enjoy our dinner. Enjoyed the decor.
