"A scratch-made Southern kitchen in MidCity — book Tupelo Honey for buttermilk biscuits, fried chicken and a busy weekend brunch in Huntsville."
About Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen
Tupelo Honey brought its scratch-made Southern cooking to Huntsville's MidCity District in November 2024, the chain's first Alabama location. The brand started in Asheville, North Carolina, and built its name on Appalachian-leaning Southern plates served all day — brunch, lunch and dinner — with a full bar and a famously generous biscuit.
It is a group restaurant run to a consistent recipe book rather than a single-chef kitchen, and it anchors one corner of the fast-growing MidCity development. For Huntsville's other notable tables, compare the long-running Cotton Row and the modern Purveyor.
The Kitchen
The kitchen cooks responsibly sourced Southern food from scratch: the buttermilk biscuits with blueberry-honey butter are the calling card, with Sriracha honey-glazed fried chicken, shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes and sweet-potato pancakes filling out the menu. Brunch is the headline service, but the same Southern repertoire carries lunch and dinner.
Pricing sits in the mid-range, with shareable portions and a cocktail list built around Southern flavours. It is comfort cooking done with care rather than a special-occasion splurge.
The Room
The room is bright, high-ceilinged and lively, geared to families, friends and weekend brunch crowds. Service is warm and quick, and the MidCity setting — near the amphitheatre and shops — makes it an easy stop before or after an event. Expect a wait at peak brunch hours on weekends.
Best for a relaxed brunch or group meal
Tupelo Honey suits a relaxed brunch, a birthday or an easy group meal — the biscuits, the portions and the lively room keep it social. For other Huntsville tables, see The Revivalist or browse the seafood guide and the city index for more Huntsville restaurants.
Not for
Not for a quiet, white-tablecloth dinner or a tasting-menu occasion — this is a busy, all-day Southern kitchen best for brunch, biscuits and groups.
