Tupelo Honey: Greenville, SC
Sunday Brunch at Tupelo Honey Cafe
For this week’s brunch, I visited Tupelo Honey Cafe at their Greenville, South Carolina location. Tupelo Honey is a widely popular Southern food spot with locations throughout the country. They serve brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 AM - 4 PM. Find their menu here.
My Order:
Mimosa (champagne, orange juice)
Mac & Cheese Bites (crispy fried mac and cheese, milk gravy, creole sofrito, chives)
Shoo Mercy Griddle (option of sweet potato pancakes or brioche french toast, buttermilk fried chicken, apple cider bacon, spiced pecans, powdered sugar, two fried eggs)
Modifications: I chose the french toast option, and I ordered it with no bacon and no pecans.
Mimosa + Mac & Cheese Bites
Shoo Mercy Griddle
Review:
Tupelo Honey did not disappoint! I went to their Sunday brunch with my younger sister for a fun sister date. The restaurant is located in downtown Greenville. Parking was typical for any downtown, there is either street parking or a parking garage nearby. The restaurant is well-lit with large windows and the kitchen is open so that people can see the chefs preparing the food.
They were implementing Covid-19 safety protocols by requiring patrons to wear a mask when they were not seated at their table and spacing out the tables to maintain social distancing. Tupelo Honey has both indoor and outdoor seating options.
My sister and I had a great waitress! She was very friendly and quick. The food came out decently fast. The Mac & Cheese Bites came out first and they were amazing! I have had quite a few mac and cheese bites in my time and Tupelo Honey’s are now in my top three. The Shoo Mercy Griddle was good as well. The french toast had a slight lemon flavor which was interesting, but it worked and the mimosa was standard.
The Tupelo Honey menu is non-red meat friendly because there are plenty of fried chicken options. However, it is probably not the best restaurant to check out if you are vegan or vegetarian. Overall, I enjoyed my food and my time with my sister at Sunday brunch. If you are ever in the Greenville area, add Tupelo Honey Cafe to your list!
B.I.T.S. Rating:
I would give Tupelo Honey Cafe 3.5 out of 5 stars. The Mac & Cheese Bites stole the show and the rest of the food was good. It is definitely a Southern comfort food spot that I would go back to.

What I Wore:
For this look, I paired a simple denim blue jean with a loose crop top and heels. I added a small black crossbody bag and put my hair into a low ponytail. I am currently in the middle of a move so a lot of my clothes were packed up and I had to make do with what I could find. You can never go wrong with simplicity. Let me know your thoughts on the look!
