Milk & Honey Cafe´- Ashburn

The food is banging for sure and that what counts to me since we order out 9 out of 10.
Service is ok but ain’t feeling any vibe in the place at all. It definitely needs a personal touch, some history. Or “fan club” style, really just anything.
It’s a great concept and the food is really good and if the atmosphere would be more welcoming, not so distanced and cold , a bit warmer is enjoyable to all. We would prolly check in more often too. If u put a story behind it, that will shape its personality and atmosphere which is a great sales pitch and definitely would bring more people to dine in. I would also decide on music because playing all types of music, idk … i just wasn’t impressed listening Cher after vibing with the Amigos. I don’t think a mixed music is an advantage for your business but again this is solo my opinion. However I have 20+ yrs in my pocket in restaurant/sales, while I’m a customer of many also.
However if you end up in here, do not pass on shirt & grits. They are my most favorite and the Cajun pasta. Well the biscuit and the sweet potato waffle also phenomenal and they made a great Bloody Mary but I missed the olive. You should consider it, it’s like a tradition for Bloody peoples.
I hope you guys will be around for a long time, we desperately need more of something tasty like your menu, because the richest county of the United States has not much to offer to eat. Might be the richest county but hardly ever reflecting the quality of anything. Well now your menu is something that fit in the rich county picture. Rich in flavor and very tasty with good texture and temperature.
Prices not cheap but affordable and considering the flavor , portion and quality of the food , prices in fact are very fair. If you debating if you should go or should you not, DEFINITELY GOOOO!!!! You will be happy you did!!

Parking: Plenty of of options, but hardly any shade. Steaming concrete to heat your car to 300• crack ur windows is advisable.

We walked in, not alot of people at all, but no one to greet, seated ourselves and told them we were there. We had a long wait on everything, but the food was wonderful. They brought out a $15 glass of wine they thought we had ordered. We said we hadn't, and they took it back. AFTER we paid, we saw they had charged us for it. ALWAYS CHK BILL B4 PAYING! Told them to refund it. He wouldn't give us a receipt, said it would show up on our acct in a few days. It's been more than a week, no refund. Also, they won't pick up their phone when you call them. I don't care how good your food is if service and integrity is bad. Thank you. We will NOT be returning! Be careful folks!

As a southern man I was excited until I saw the menu. Then I realized it's southern "inspired". Overall though it's okay.

Milk and Honey is the best restaurant ever.. great waitress and staff. Great cook overall I give it a 100 out of 10

Our server was fantastic: friendly, attentive, and made dining a pleasure.

The fish and grits lived up to my expectations. The other entrees my family ordered look appetizing as well and everyone was happy with what they chose, especially my son who had the ribeye.

I would definitely go back again.

Server was very attentive and kind. Room was a little loud but we’re still able to hear each other to converse. We got the hot chocolate (nothing special), cheesy hash side which was a huge portion and well seasoned but cheese was kinda bland and too much. And the the chicken and waffles. Waffles were amazing and served on a delicious sauce but chicken was on the bone so didn’t really feel like they could be eaten together more like ordering breakfast and lunch right afterwards…still good portions but not amazing or unique to be $40 meal.

Customer service is challenged. Food quality is good but personally feel bit overpriced. Good for 1 time try. Won’t come again.

I walked into this place for the first time and tried wait too get seated made eye contact with multiple employees just to be left at the front door for mins wasting my time while I’m hungry and just ignoring my presence or the fact I even exist work on welcoming your customers or even greeting that they exist

Don’t get the steak. It’s not center cut. Rubbery with fat all through it. Who wants cheap steak?

My first experience was the Fairfax location, until I went to the Dulles retail plaze location. That was definitely a dining experience. The Customer Service was top notch, Candice and Nishon one the drinks, Chef Lloyd on the food (Delicious ) it was so good I had to stop the Manger Vernon just to express to him how impressed I was the way he was running his restaurant. Excellent customer service and very professional. Great job and well done. Can’t wait to return.

Food was pretty good. I got the hot honey lemon pepper chicken sandwich and it’s more sweet than hot. Still a good sandwich with a kids size portion of tots. My daughter got the Cajun shrimp and grits, it was phenomenal!! 10/10 Atmosphere was noisy, great for friends gathering for lunch. Service was OK, had to ask for a refill of my empty glass and my wife ordered her salmon with sauce on the side and it came out drizzled on top. None of these things would keep us from going back but just sharing my first experience there.
