“This is my 4th visit & I have been wowed every time! I cannot pick just one favorite - the “wings” are spicy but not overly. The Reuben (Steppenwolf) is perfectly grilled & the patty melt (Patty Hearst) is amazing! Always great service & reasonably priced in my opinion. Don’t miss this place!“

“We came in and there was a 40 minute wait, however the sweet girl offered us a spot at the bar and we took it because we needed coffee bad. 😃 We were served immediately and placed our order. The food was delicious but the people were amazing. Mattson and Emily took excellent care of us and we thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with them about things to do in the area. If you are offered a seat at the bar take it! 10/10 recommend! To the manager, I hope you know you have a great staff, which is rare these days. We had just left another restaurant (A.F.) because the guy behind the bar was so rude to us and our server. We walked out of there and into “Milk and Honey”. Thank you Mattson and Emily!“

“Mary’s plate lunches are the best! No cans in her kitchen. Homemade desserts are delicious. And the grill is manned by Christopher and they will melt in your mouth YUMBO! The staff is attentive to your needs and they love the customers. No wonder they have been and stayed in business since 1918. Family owned and now run by the 4th generation. I’ve even seen the 5th and 6th generation helping when they are “in the weeds”. You owe it to yourself to eat there.“

“I came in August 8th in need of a pick me up, both mentally physically. I left sufficiently caffeinated and with a smile on my face. All thanks to the baristas; A young woman with a nose ring and the best laugh I've ever heard and a young man wi/h braids who can carry on a sensible conversation with anyone about nearly anything! The iced mocha latte takes an equal share in making my day!“

“Not a bad meal for the price. My salad was excellent. The flatbread pizza was good as well although a bit saucy for my grandson’s taste. My husband did not think the chili was great. Overall a good deal for the price especially considering it is a tourist destination. The scenery is beautiful and the falls was magnificent (according to my daughter and grandson) The guides speaking part was better than the recording/videos.“

“We had lunch yesterday at the Gunbarrel Panera Bread. We had an order for four and the salads we ordered were very fresh! The self serve coffee was great too! The tables and bathrooms were clean! If you experience a wait please be patient so many of our eating establishments are overwhelmed with guests and understaffed. They need our patience. If you need to wait and order here when you are not in a hurry definitely do that! Most places have order in the app options so even if you don't see a line they may be working hard to fill orders. We will definitely eat here again soon.“
