Southern homestyle meals, picturesque environment and smiling staff are just the beginning of Tupelo Honey, a new restaurant in downtown Des Moines. Tupelo Honey recipes are simply crafted and made from scratch with responsibly sourced ingredients that bring the best of every season. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Tupelo Honey’s menu changes with the seasons to provide its customers with the best seasonal ingredients.

     Tupelo Honey cares for both its customers and employees in many ways. They have recently developed their “Biscuits for a Cause” menu item. When a customer purchases the “Biscuits for a Cause” appetizer the proceeds go to their relief and development funds that help Tupelo Honey employees in need. This has been very successful as last year $400,000 was awarded. It has also made for some very happy and passionate employees.

     “When I was told about the biscuits for a cause I was surprised because it is such a unique and great idea,” Lauren Anderson, a Grand View student, said. Enthusiastic and passionate employees create the ultimate dining experience. Upon walking in the front door, customers are greeted by smiling faces and served with the utmost respect and kindness. This is what ultimately creates a fun and fulfilling experience and is likely due to the way the business cares for its employees.

     The best part of Tupelo Honey is the amazing southern food and traditions rooted in the Carolina mountains that Tupelo Honey calls home. The menu consists of six categories: lunch and dinner, brunch menu, bar menu, kids’ menu, happy hour menu and beer and specialty menu.

Some of the customers’ favorites include the famous chicken and buttermilk waffles, bone-in fried chicken, shrimp and grits, and the biscuits for a cause.
