text: Early afternoon on a Friday, we ate at Tupelo's. We enjoy sitting at the tables in the bar and the food is always good, especially the biscuits. However, service is a different story. On this Friday afternoon Tupelo was not crowded. We ordered and it seemed to have taken an unusually long time for our food to arrive. We ate and then sat and sat and sat as we waited and watched our server chatting with someone else, checking her cell phone and disappear behind the swinging doors. I asked another server for a to go box. I asked one of the managers if we could get our check. We paid, left and will think twice about going back. Customers should not put up with lack of service.
