This place should be busier even if today was a Tuesday! Great food, nice setting, and friendly service. I had the chicken and biscoff waffles and my guest had the shrimp and grits. Both were fantastic and the servings were more than enough...neither of us could finish our meals. I like the outdoors patio but inside was equally as nice. I definitely recommend giving this place a shot. Really, really good!! read more

Milk & Honey - Southern Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

This was the last place I visited while in Virginia and it honestly did not disappoint. The service was great, including the manager, who I can't remember his name right now, but honestly, he made sure that I was well taken care of after he saw that I was not pleased with my first drink. I would definitely recommend coming here as a cute brunch spot whether it's for couples or with your girls or just a family brunch. The star of the show was a chicken and Biscoff waffles which was superb but a very close tie is the French toast... Oh my gosh, I will definitely be thinking about that for a while. Nothing was super sweet, but it played well with the flavors and however, the chef is back there.Give yourself a high five. read more

TL;DR: food was terrible, but service was nice Came here for a late lunch/early dinner and was able to grab a seat with no problem with only a few tables inside at that time. The interior is nicely decorated, and the service was nice. The menu is primarily breakfast/brunch food with an extensive drink menu. Unfortunately, basically everything we got was not good. FOOD: ~Butter glazed biscuits (3/5): These were not particularly buttery nor glazed. It came with a sweet potato butter (2.5/5) and a peach jam (3/5). The sweet potato butter fell flat, and regular butter would have been much better. The peach jam was alright, but overwhelmed with cinnamon. I asked for a side of honey which was better with the biscuits. ~Chicken (2/5) and Biscoff Waffle (1.5/5): The chicken thigh is boneless, and it was SO dry. It was like if it was fried earlier in the day, left out, and then refried, and then left out under a heat lamp. The breading was fine. The Biscoff Waffle was extremely soggy and flavorless. Zero BIscoff flavor other than the cookie it came with as a garnish. ~Crispy Lobster Egg and Cheese (3/5): This was good enough, though the lobster and cheese combination was a strange choice. This came with fries (1/5) which were so soggy, limp, and not cooked all the way through. ~Collard greens (4/5): this was a solid side ~Candied yams (1/5): not even sure what this was. There was only like 1 actual piece of yam, and the rest was a goopy sauce/mush that just tasted like cinnamon and plastic. Hard pass, but it seems like a lot of other people like it. read more

Did breakfast here. We both ordered steak (med rare) and eggs + the butter glazed biscuits and coffee. Steak - perfectly seasoned. Here's the problem....they placed the eggs on top of the potatoes and the steak on top of the eggs. This took away crispiness from the eggs and transferred the steak dry rub to the eggs. Also the ends of my steak were med well, not med rare. Biscuits were perfect. Fluffy and buttery. Coffee was solid but nothing amazing. They didn't have half & half just International Delight coffee creamers, which are primarily made of water, sugar (or cane sugar), and palm oil. They also contain less than 2% of sodium caseinate (a milk derivative that is lactose-free), dipotassium phosphate, carrageenan, mono and diglycerides, natural and artificial flavors, sodium stearoyl lactylate, and salt. read more

The appetizers are large portions. I got the fried green tomatoes and a salad and it was way too much food. The kids meal, the fried chicken is boneless and the French fries are seasoned very well. The BLT salmon burger came out incorrect so we had to send that back. Otherwise, the crowd rolled in about 6:30pm on a friday. It was dead at 6pm. read more

Milk & Honey is a Southern Brunch Chain in the DMV. This location is a relatively new restaurant. There's plenty of free parking in the lot in the complex. There's also both indoor and outdoor seating, and the ambiance can be described as classy/casual. It's a good spot to catch up with a friend or for a first date. The service was immaculate. Our server and the manager checked in on us constantly, it was evident that they wanted us to have a good experience. The honey latte was delicious; it was sweet, balanced with cinnamon, and the coffee wasn't too bitter. The fried green tomatoes were a bit expensive, but were battered nicely and paired well with the spinach, sauce and corn on top. The biscoff waffle was okay. The chicken could've been seasoned more, there could've been more biscoff flavor and the waffle was average. However, I didn't really mind since the vibe and service were really good! I'd recommend trying this place at least once because the Instagram ads really hyped it up. read more

Grand opening day! I was officially the first customer to give them a run today! I ordered à la cart just to try a few different items...and every single item was delicious! To start, I had the biscuits served with a peach jam and sweet potato butter on the side. While both offered a refreshing spin, the sweet potato butter was top notch! The biscuits were super soft, large, and baked to perfection. In addition, I ordered the greens, cheese grits (with a side of Cajun sauce, coffee, and sweet tea. I had a ton of left overs with a total bill of $27 (not including the tip). I thought the pricing was good, and they were very attentive. I'm sure this being day one came with a ton of lessons learned, so kudos to the team for keeping it together! They had a great music playlist going with all the TVs on different channels. You want music? They have you covered! You want to check out sporting highlights? Got you covered as well! Everything was clean and in order. No obvious mistakes from my POV. However, if you visit in the near future, they may need to work out issues as they arise...so give them a little grace! Note: They open at 9AM and close at either 9PM or 10PM (depending on the day of visit). If I had to offer some opportunities here is what I would suggest: 1. Coffee refills: consider bringing the pot to the table to refill vs taking the cup back to refill it. While this did not bother me, some customers may prefer their cup not leave their line of sight. Overall, Emily took care of me and I would 1000% return! Welcome to the neighborhood team! read more

This is the old Social House location. I loved Social House, and when my neighbor recommended I try this place, I had to check it out! The food here is some of the best in the South Riding area -- especially if you love brunch or breakfast! The fried green tomatoes are a must for an appetizer. Honestly one of the best things I've eaten. The chicken and waffles are highlighted by beautifully fried chicken... my only wish is that the waffles were served on top or on the side so they don't get soggy. The shrimp and grits are rich and well-flavored -- just not my cup of tea since I'm not big on cheesy grits. But the flavors are genuinely intriguing. They have a great kids menu for $9 -- kids pick two items from the list. And you get $5 off when you sign up for the Thompson Table Rewards program. Whitley was an amazing server -- her recommendations were spot on. Leave her a big tip! read more

The staff were not very friendly or attentive. Most of the staff ignored us and when I asked a question I was spoken down to. My order came out completely different than what was on the menu and it was not corrected when I asked for it to be. The food was good but nothing special. I would consider returning if they fix these issues with their staff. read more

We decided to stop in and have brunch before heading to King Spa. This place is super cute and offers indoor and outdoor seating. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. Our server Rene (sp) was very friendly and gave some great recommendations. We decided on fried deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes as our appetizer. We went with fish and grits, shrimp and grits as our entrees, and a cherry blossom martini as our cocktail. Everything was great from the food down the service, I would definitely recommend:) read more

Went on a Friday for lunch and it was amazing. Loved the taste of the southern food, the ambiance was beautiful and presentation was spot on. All the food came out in beautiful bright plates & bowls. I went with a bunch of friends and ordered the pan seared salmon on grits and it was perfect. The salmon was well made and the grits were creamy and smooth. They added 2 cherry tomatoes, a lemon and some microgreens for garnishing. The portion size was generous. For dessert I had the peach cobbler which came with some berries, whipped cream and powdered sugar and it was divine. Not to sweet just the way I like it. I haven't tried but have heard the biscuits are also amazing. This place is a go to for Southern food. Definitely would recommend checking it out. read more

Tried this new location and had a few apps- wings were crunchy but sauce was a bit too sweet, would have preferred normal deviled eggs over fried deviled eggs, kind of odd. My friend got a fried fish platter and I had the blackened salmon BLT sandwich. It was good but nothing special and could have used more seasoning. The fries weren't hot or fresh either The best thing probably was the side of collard greens. Service was good and everyone was super friendly. read more

Came by total accident. Stayed for the warm environment. The excellent customer service was a big bonus! The other night my date and I thought we were going to Social House to watch the Lakers game. To our surprise, it was closed! No problem, they have TVs we could watch the game. We walk in, they didn't have the channel! Alas, we stay at the bar anyway. I enjoyed the environment it wasn't too noisy. Milk and Honey is a restaurant that calls itself a Southern Inspired Kitchen. They emphasize the shrimp and grits on the menu and also serve other varieties like jerk lamb chop, blackened salmon blt, butter glazed biscuits. During my stay I had the Charles Woodson Red Blend and the Grilled Salmon. If you like your salmon well seasoned, then it was excellent! Would recommend. The red blend was a clean wine with a smooth finish. Thanks! read more

Everything was very average. My Bloody Mary was bland, which is a near impossible thing to do. It was very watered down, a ton of ice, can't taste the alcohol at all but also not very tomato-y. Service was average. We were greeted, checked on, but no personality and we were at the bar. We were told there was happy hour for all the games but when we asked about a happy hour menu we were told it's just the signature drinks, no food. Nothing to inspire a return trip. Very disappointing. read more

Came here really excited because the food looked really good (and was good) but the overall experience was honestly beyond frustrating. The layout is terrible at the entrance. It gets completely bombarded with people waiting because there's no actual waiting area. Everyone is crammed together while people keep trying to push through to get inside, even though there's literally nowhere to move out of the way. It felt chaotic and uncomfortable the entire time. The hostess situation also is extremely inefficient. The hostess was also bussing tables, so every time she seated someone she would be gone for another 5+ minutes doing other duties before coming back up front. Because of that, reservations honestly didn't seem to matter much since people were still waiting forever to be seated despite tables being available. Service overall was extremely slow, which I'm guessing is due to the high demand, staff constantly running between indoor and outdoor areas, and just not enough workers in general for a high volume weekend brunch time. Side note: The fried green tomatoes were also way overhyped. The dish felt overly complicated instead of complementing the dish, and it kind of ruined it. :( Fried chicken is really good though but sad there's no chicken breast! We asked for our check and 15 minutes went by after making eye contact several times at our waitress again across the restaurant as she's talking to other staff, taking drinks to other tables, and took the order of the table across from us with 10+ people. She did not come back so we had to get the manager. We believed the check needed to be printed but no. It's on the device staff use to put in the orders and have on them constantly. We were shocked when the manager took care of us in less than a minute and then complimented his help. read more

So I was def excited to try this place. 25 dollars a meal, okay... this place is going to be legit. World famous grits... kinda mid. Maybe expectations were too high. Got the salmon and it was dry. Overall remodel is nice but it just missed. 6 dollars for 2 biscuits, 15 dollars for devil eggs. Meh Decent, barely good, far from great. ‍ 3.1 stars read more

This location is VERY different from other Milk & Honey spots I've been to -- noticeably more upscale in its setup and presentation. Not sure if that's entirely good or bad, just an observation worth noting if you're a regular at other locations and come in with certain expectations. The bartender was a genuine standout -- great to chat with, knowledgeable, and came through with some solid recommendations that I wouldn't have thought to order on my own. The wings were better than expected too, which is always a pleasant surprise. The space itself has a polished feel that works for the area. Worth a visit, just know going in that it has its own personality compared to the other locations. read more

Milk & Honey - Berry French Toast and Shrimp Cheese Grits - Southern Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

So I visited this restaurant for the first time today. I was very disappointed in how long it took to receive my order. My son and I were seated quickly;however, our food arrived 45 minutes after we ordered. The waitress was very polite and apologized for the delay. She explained that the kitchen orders got behind all of a sudden. I ordered the buttered biscuits and chicken (w/cheese eggs), My chicken was not great at all. My food was not hot at all. I was extremely disappointed and did not finish my meal. I spent over $50 for both myself and son. I'm not confident that I will visit this restaurant again based on this experience. read more

Where do I even begin? My meal... perfection. The atmosphere... amazing. While Milk & Honey in its entirety was an all-around pleasurable experience, I have to give my flowers to our amazing server, Jacob. His charm and his wit made today's brunch an experience I'll never forget. The only hardship we faced was making it past the front door because so many women were lined up to see him! #fairsthough read more

Great service, great food, and cool atmosphere; came out for the Juneteenth lunch with the wife.

I went here with friends for Brunch about a month ago. Food was average but nothing really to write home about. Pricey and nothing really noteworthy on the menu. I am glad we gave it a try but my Wife and I agree it is not somewhere we would go back to eat. We already really miss Social House. I'm not sure what happened with them as they were packed every time we visited? They will be sorely missed... read more

Service was slow and the food was alright. I had a burger and it was mediocre. The side of hash browns were very disappointing, and the biscuits were nothing to desire. The food was overcooked, but not sure if was because it sat to long or if the cooks don't know temperatures. Other meals looked like they could have been good. read more
