Milk & Honey Cafe´- Ashburn

This was a fabulous find. Being the Southern inspired menu, we opted for the fried green tomato appetizer, panko breaded deviled eggs were an unexpected and unusual offering that was phenomenally delicious. We also enjoyed their cajun pasta to round out the meal. We had courteous service from staff that were friendly, responsive and informative and efficient and fun. Very reasonable priced for quality and quantity of food. Highly recommend.

We started with their Fried Green Tomatoes which were awesome! The tomatoes were in a delicious sauce and topped with spinach. Best Fried Green Tomatoes we've ever had. Next, even though it was mid-afternoon, I had their pancakes topped with peaches, strawberries and blueberries. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. My husband had their Fish Sandwich and was not sorry. The service was excellent. We look forward to going back.

***WARNING: This place is LOUD*** Just wanted to warn anyone who has audio sensitivities that the acoustics in this restaurant make everything especially loud. I have an issue where if a place is too loud my ear will start to rattle. Something about the layout makes all the talking and dishes clanking amplified.** Came in around 10 AM for brunch. The menu has many options. Had the chicken and Biscoff waffle. The breading on the chicken is good and the Biscoff waffle is an A+. The food is really heavy for breakfast so I recommend it as a meal for later in the day.

The place is very loud as soon as you walk in. Staff do what they’re required- that’s it and to top it off the food was nothing extraordinary.

First, let me start off by saying I work outside for a living and wasn’t in any condition to sit down and eat as I didn’t want to offend any of the other patrons that had come to enjoy a delicious meal in this small, but well put together establishment with wonderful ambiance. The hostess greeted me and didn’t make me feel less than or that she was bothered by my dirty work clothes and appearance (yes, this is a thing I’ve experienced at other restaurants before). She pleasantly took my order, Carolina Low Country Gumbo, and repeated my order back to me as I had substituted the crab meat for additional shrimp. I went back to my truck to wait for my order and when I came back I was approached by the manager on duty to ask if I had been helped and then when I explained I was waiting for my to-go order he went back to the kitchen and came back with my food that was smelling amazing! I got back to my truck and began eating and to my surprise the portion size was quite healthy and seasoned to perfection! Everything from the rice to the okra to the turkey sausage, to the shrimp was packed full of flavor! The extra container of shrimp was filled to the brim as well and the broth of the gumbo was so tasty I was able to drink it like it was the bottom of a bowl of soup! Next time I will be dining in to get the full experience, but even this experience was so good I had to call the restaurant and tell them how pleased I was. I will for sure be back to try something else!

P.S. Normally I take photos and videos, but trying to do that in the truck on lunch break I honestly didn’t think about.

The food was very disappointing in general. The omlette was dripping in oil and portion was small. The toast was burnt. I asked for a replacement and was sourdough toast with no accompanied butter. Looks like a little butter was smeared to make the toast on the pan. It smelt weird
When you're charged extra $4 for a piece of bread you expect some butter. The two stars are for service. But service alone doesn't justify a visit.

The restaurant is nicely decorated, with plenty of room between tables to move around without bumping anyone. Every single member of staff we spoke to was so kind and helpful. Our meals were all delicious, especially the biscoff waffles and the shrimp and grits. I'm from Louisiana, and the cheesey grits reminded me so much of home cooking. The chicken and biscuits could have had more sauce, but the chicken was moist and perfectly cooked, and the biscuits were fluffy and light. We will definitely be going back!

We went to have a brunch at the this place but the food was not good we ask for steak and eggs steak m but she brought the steak m r and I ask for the coffee was cold if you look at the floor is not clean. I not recommend and the server try to change for extra coffee needs to put attention on it

Our order was , for drinks, 2 old fashions. appetizers. Fried green tomatoes and 2 homemade biscuits. Main dish, shrimp and grits and the fried chicken and waffle.
My only complaint is the old fashions were weak. Taste more syrup than bourbon. Perhaps use a better quality bourbon. The fried tomatoes, more tomatoes less sauce . Maybe just a drizzle of sauce on top. The main dishes , 0 complains , shrimp and grits delicious , the fried chicken waffle also delicious.
A little pricy but food is delicious , great atmosphere and service.
Definitely will return for a brunch or breakfast.

The stir fried shrimp was the best! Only saw the waitress for order and delivery of food, didn’t come back for refills or check. Music was just a tad bit too loud. The restroom was the cleanest I have seen. I will be back for the food.

It was a bit pricy but I really enjoyed my Chicken and Biscoff Waffles.

We were so looking forward to a morning cocktail and 2 meals when trying you for the first time. Unfortunately, after sitting for 15 minutes with barely an acknowledgment of being there we did not get any service other than a glass of water.
Very very disappointed as we excited to try something new on our day off from work.
No one even acknowledged our leaving the restaurant - very poor customer service.
Will not be back.
