Milk & Honey Southern Inspired Kitchen

I travel alot and eat food all around the country. I have to say, maybe one of the best meals I've ever had. Worth the stop if you are in the area!

We went in for a late breakfast around 11a and the place was already busy and the flow stayed steady, or sever and the other staff were all polite and professional our food was delicious shrimp and grits w/ sausage, cat fish, and jumbo smothered chicken and biscuit and delicious sweet tea. We enjoyed the roof top terrace which gives a beautiful view with comfortable covered seating. It was a really wonderful experience

DO NOT COME HERE

I came to this location with my family, hoping to try a different Milk & Honey experience. We were seated quickly, and the atmosphere seemed pleasant—until it became an absolute disaster.

We waited over 45 minutes before anyone even offered us a glass of water. During that time, we noticed an alarming trend: unless the manager was trying to flirt with you or, as one server was overheard saying, you were “extremely beautiful,” your table was essentially ignored.

When we were finally able to place our order, the manager—who never introduced himself—approached us to say we’d need to change it because brunch ended at 3:00 p.m. We informed him that we were seated at 2:25 p.m., to which he replied that the kitchen would still make the brunch items fresh. Fine. But then the chaos only escalated.

Another 25 minutes passed, during which multiple tables that arrived after us were served first. The manager eventually came by with two drinks, announced them vaguely as “some kind of drink” and “another something drink,” and told us to figure it out ourselves before running off. He also stated we would receive a discount due to the excessive delay.

Another 25 minutes later, two plates were brought out. Ten minutes after that, a third. Two members of our party had ordered yogurt, which never arrived—until we had to yell across the dining area just to cancel them. A chef (I assume) then came out begging us to take the yogurts because they were “already made,” insisting we wouldn’t be charged. He brought them out anyway—after we had declined them.

When we were finally done with this embarrassing excuse for a dining experience, we had to ask four separate times for the check. When it came, the promised discount was missing, and the canceled yogurts were still on the bill. The server went to the manager, who loudly asked, “Discount for what?!”—as if the previous hour hadn’t just happened. We had to remind him that he offered the discount himself. He rolled his eyes, sucked his teeth, and stormed off. When the bill came back, the “discount” was a laughable $4.

This was our first and last time at this location.

The only bright spot was Ashley—the one person who showed any professionalism or courtesy. Despite not being our assigned server and feeling under the weather, she was the only one who offered an apology and made any effort to treat us with respect. She deserves recognition. The rest of the staff—and especially the manager—should take notes.

I normally don't have any issues with the Milk & Honey brand but today at this location was the worst experience I've ever had with this establishment. The service was beyond poor the only bright spot was the help from a waitress that wasn't serving my table by the name of Ashley. When we arrived several servers walked passed our table before the young lady Ashley ended up coming to help us. We didn't have silverware on our table and we waited for over 30 minutes before we put in an order. Then the manager tried to tell us that we couldn't get our orders because they were switching over to the dinner menu but we explained we had been waiting long before the brunch menu expired. So he said he would honor the fact that we waited for over 30 minutes. Prior to this we were informed that our original server was going home and that someone else would be serving us and the person that ended up serving us was also servicing the bar and spent more time behind the bar making drinks then servicing us or anybody else. 3 out of 4 of us at our table got served and we had to ask for silverware at least 3 times before we got it. The 4th person waited the longest for a simple yogurt and fruit order and 2 of our people ordered one and by the time they were ready neither of them wanted it anymore. We also ordered drinks and when the manager brought us our drinks he didn't even know what the drinks were and which one belonged to who. The manager said that because of the delays and other mishaps that he would discount our bill. I guess he felt like because he voided the yogurt which was only $12 a piece that it was cool to only take $4 off of everybody else bill but also didn't want to honor what he said he would do. We will never come back to this location i personally will continue to only frequent the Fairfax location where they treat me well and ensure that their customers are well served. They need to fire and hire new staff starting with the manager that was in charge today at young black fella with long dreads. This location just really needs to do better we were highly disappointed with our visit.

This was our first time at this location. Very comfy, well lit, and spacious for brunch. The only issue we had was discovering when we got home that we were charged for a dish we never ordered or received. If not for that, 5 stars.
The cheesecake pancakes were amazing!
The steak was deliciously seasoned and cooked to a perfect medium-well.
