About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
Tupelo Honey is a revival of Southern food and traditions rooted in the Carolina Mountains we call home. Steps from historic Denver Union Station, we craft brunches, lunches and suppers that bring family and friends around the table and allow for conversations and cocktails to linger longer than usual.

Reservations are recommended, and we welcome walk-ins where possible! All guests with pets must be sat outside in designated areas per DPHE, and only when our patio is open. Our Patio is north-facing and weather dependent, please call the restaurant ahead of time to inquire whether the patio is open or not.

    Just ok. Had high hopes for the chicken but it was dry and not much flavor. The chicken salad sandwich was not that great either

    The biscuits and gravy were absolutely amazing and service was fast. The waffles were great but the chicken was nothing to write home about. We reserved through OT and the reservation included $3 mimosas. First the host, then the server, told us "We can't do $3 mimosas all day." I'm not sure if they were expecting us to stay all day, that would be weird, especially since we were obviously on our way to a baseball game, so the whole thing was weird. Not sure we'll be back.
