As first time guests the greeter black Anthony was smiling, had a positive attitude, and was well spoken. He informed us of the wait time and provided instructions of the texting process while we wait. Informed us of options to purchase drinks or pastries and if seating at the bar or outside patio became available we had the option to change our seating arrangements. Once our table was ready we was greeted immediately by our waitress Renee with all smiles, positive attitude, and full of energy. She made sure she repeated our order back to us with suggesting other great menu options before placing it. She was clear and we'll spoken. She also made sure we had everything we needed while enjoying our meal. These two employees presented phenomenal customer service and made us feel welcomed and comfortable. The food was excellent and we will definitely be returning for another brunch. ​ read more

I recently visited Nashville to celebrate a friend's 70th birthday. Based on the excellent reviews we had heard, Milk & Honey was high on our list of places to try. Located in the Gulch, it was just a short Uber ride from our downtown area hotel. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Before we were even seated we were already enchanted with the adorable 'cow bee' t-shirt. Get it? Milk and honey? Cute huh?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our table of 7 women ordered a variety of brunch sandwiches and biscuits. While everyone enjoyed their meals, I can only give specifics on what I ordered. I had the Mr. Croissant with home fries, and because I wanted to try the biscuits, I also added a biscuit with honey and butter to my order. The croissant and biscuit were great. Next time, I'd give a miss to the included home fries and opt for the fruit instead. My vanilla bean latte was very good and my friend loved her mocha. To celebrate the Birthday Girl, we ordered two bottles of champagne and two flights of juices to make mimosas. We all took homemade strawberry pop tarts to go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved the vibe, service, and food and will happily return the next time we are in Nashville![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Delicious food and great service! I started with the Milk and Honey latte, which was excellent. We ordered the Farmhouse Biscuit and the Hot Chicken Biscuit, and both were fantastic. The hot honey sauce on the tables was also great for adding a little extra spice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We really enjoyed the atmosphere as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We arrived early for breakfast and were seated right away, but by the time we left, there was a line out the door. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

Meh. Personally found this place to be very average -- and overrated after seeing all over as one of the "must eat" places when visiting Nashville. When ranking our meals, this place came in dead last. The service was great -- our serve was very nice and attentive. All of the food was basic and mediocre. The biscuits were very dry. The bacon was overcooked (and I like crispy bacon). The Bloody Mary was only ok. I ordered a pineapple mimosa, and it was so fizzy that it was hard to drink. We didn't get coffee, so maybe we missed out on that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside on the heated patio, which was pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside was nicely decorated, but very loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just expected more out of this place I guess. read more

Walked to the Gulch my last morning in town and decided to grab a seat at the bar to enjoy a hot latte and chicken biscuit. Waitress recommended sauce on side and so glad I did, it was HOT! Their bottle hot sauce was delicious however and the perfect heat level. Biscuit was flaky and delicious and egg was cooked perfectly. The milk & honey latte was so good, amazing flavor of honey. Staff was all kind and very efficient (toast system was down and they had to write everything down to ring in and feed back to kitchen). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside has tables to sit at, at bar, a small to go area and merchandise to buy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would highly recommend coming here!! read more

This was our first stop after an early morning flight into Nashville. Everyone was hungry and I'm glad we stopped at Milk and Honey because we definitely left full! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have large inside and outside eating areas, a bar inside that serves brunch-type cocktails, and a cute little merch area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was really friendly and gave us recommendations on the food and drinks. Don't miss the honey butter biscuits, they are a must have!!! I ordered the Burnt Sugar iced Latte and the avocado toast, both of which were delicious. Our server recommended we put the Honey Hot Sauce that was on the table, on pretty much everything so some of the table used it and said it was very good. The menu had so many delicious sounding items, I look forward to trying more!! read more

Wish we had picked this spot earlier in the week, it was great. There was a line and a wait on a Sunday, of course. We put our name in but a spot opened up at the bar area and we were able to snag it. The bartenders serving the drinks and taking the orders were great! Super friendly, upbeat and personable. You don't get that everywhere, so it is worth noting. Ordered a burnt sugar latte, it was pretty good. after consulting with the bartender/server I went with the Hot Mess, a biscuit sandwich with hot pepper jam, bacon, avocado, pickled onion, chipotle crema, sunny egg, and cilantro. Normally has pepper jack cheese but I asked for it without. It came with crispy potatoes. It was delicious. The biscuit was flaky and soft; the chipotle crema was smoky and went well with all the other ingredients. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside and were great with the house made honey hot sauce. I ordered a scone to go and it was super good, great crumb and perfect texture. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really enjoyed the space, the service, and the food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I revisited Milk & Honey after my last visit being 2+ years ago. Overall our server was great and nice, I was happy with her service. But on the other hand, I went on a Saturday morning around 9:00am and waited roughly 35-45 minutes for a party of 2. When it came to the food, I would say it was alright for the most part. The biscuits that were served with our plates we ordered were dry and crumbly. (I was not a fan). On top of the toasts that we had, those were dry/hard and overly toasted. It wasn't the experience I was expecting based off my initial visited. In general I didn't see much "value" with the time and money spent this 2nd time around. My personal rating: 3/5 read more

Our waitress Nadia was amazing. We were visiting from California and decided to try the biscuits here and they were amazing. She gave us great recommendations and also brought us a sample of the gravy because we were on the fence about trying it. She went above and beyond to make our experience a memorable one. I would highly recommend this restaurant read more

Milk & Honey was a recommended breakfast stop and I couldn't agree more. I started with the Burnt Sugar Latte. Excellent taste and wake me up! My wife also got the Burnt Sugar Latte and a juice. She raved about how good the juice tasted. Fresh and a perfect start. Decided to try the strawberry pop tart and was not expecting it to be so incredibly delicious. Flaky crust and the filling, just perfect treat to start. Next the Big Kid Breakfast which is my go to breakfast and I am still a kid at heart. Two eggs over easy, home fries, applewood bacon, sourdough toast with honey, and fresh berries. Everything was cooked perfectly and delightful. Pure comfort food that provided an awesome start to the day. My amazing wife got the Chicken & Waffles. I agree it was another solid option, the waffle & chicken is an interesting combination, but it works well. She loved it. We also got a buttermilk biscuit and in my opinion it was the best biscuit I had in Nashville. Fluffy, Flaky, and just heavenly. The staff were fantastic and provided excellent service. I would definitely return and loved the ambiance and vibe. Just a wonderful place to grab breakfast. read more

What really stands out about Milk & Honey to me is their coffee. My husband and I are a little picky when it comes to our morning java, so we've always struggled to find restaurants that get it just right. Let me tell you, Milk & Honey is that restaurant. While we were enduring our two hours wait, we both ordered iced vanilla bean lattes. They were the perfect mix of sweet and roasted coffee flavor. Then, while we were eating, I ordered an iced burnt sugar latte and that was perfection as well! I love that you're able to order from their coffee bar without actually eating. It's a great set up when you're waiting for a table also. If this was local to me, it would be my coffee stop for sure! My brother and I just got the basic breakfasts. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet. He had the classic bacon and eggs. My husband, however, decided to get the Hodgepodge Hash and he absolutely loved it. We wanted to try the pork confit poutine, but they were sold out of pork from the crowds, so we'll have to come back another day to try it! We waited entirely too long for this restaurant on Valentine's Day. That's totally our bad as out of town tourists who didn't consider what day of the week it was along with being a holiday. Anyway, I say that to say, the staff was still incredible. They HAD to be overwhelmed. The place was packed! But everyone stayed incredibly kind and friendly and took great care of us. Nick was our waiter and we had great conversation! I don't know that we'd visit again when we come back in favor of trying somewhere else, but I definitely see why this is such a popular spot. We had a good experience! read more

I had breakfast here recently and really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely a great breakfast/brunch place. I had the Fig & Proscuitto Toast: Fig preserves, proscuitto, gorgonzola, goat gouda, arugula, kalamata olives, sourdough. This was delicious. All my favorite toppings. I also had a biscuit with strawberry jam and honey. This was delicious too. Soft inside, not too flakey. Yummy jam and honey. read more

This place came highly recommended and I see why! We came for brunch and had about an hour wait. You can sit at the bar but it does get crowded too. We were seated and got the best service from our waiter Anthony! For drinks, we opted for the bottle of champagne. It comes with 3 juices! If you are planning to drink a few mimosas, this is a better bang for your buck. I got the Nashville Hot Chicken and Waffles and it was amazingggg! I will definitely come back! Also to note, they had a cool luggage rack on the patio for guests so they didn't have to squeeze it under the table. I had a good time here and I'm looking forward to returning. read more

Great food, even better service. Our server Brian was kind, knew the menu and how to perfectly sell the items. We listened to his suggestions and got a local honey latte and the hot mess with added fried chicken. The hot honey on the table was perfectly sweet and tangy, plus the dishes were beautiful! The chicken was a 10/10!!! Crisped to perfection and a good size for the price. read more

Writing this in honor of aunt Becky because she is obsessed with this place and comes here every day for the salted caramel lattes she's still with us she just lives in Miami and I don't get to see her enough!! We love milk and honey so much. I'm fortunate enough to live rappelling distance from milk and honey, so on the weekends if I want to come here I roll out of bed in my Jammie's and put my name in. Then I go back home and to bed again for like an hour. Then I shower and get ready and usually by that time my table is ready. I've got it down to a science now, timing wise. Great food. We got the ricotta toast, lattes, a chicken Caesar salad because I eat weird and decided that was what I wanted for brekky, and an egg dish that I can't remember the name of but was excellent. All came out quickly and were very excellent. The ricotta toast was my personal favorite, but I knew that going into it as my best friend is Italian and has influenced a lot of my culinary preferences. They also do brekky drinks and shots but honestly I've never had one. They look really yummy and cute though. This is also one of the most agreeable priced breakfast restaurants in the area. I'm often impressed that with the quality of food and prompt service, they could definitely charge at least 20% more and no one would say anything. It's great food, service, and affordable. What more could you want?! read more

Food is good, location is great. However it gets busy so be ready to wait 1hr+ or 1.5hr+ if you have a large group. I was lucky enough to order to go and then just found outdoor seating right away so I didn't have to wait 1hr+. For the food here, my honest opinion is I wouldn't have waited. read more

Milk & Honey was absolutely delicious! My only complaint was that it felt a bit crowded with the number of people waiting, and we did have a 30-40 minute wait to be seated. That said, they have a heated outdoor patio where we were able to grab coffee while we waited, which was a really nice touch. Our waiter was fantastic--very attentive and checked in often. Inside, the atmosphere was comfortable and easy to talk in, not overly loud at all. I ordered the turkey and brie sandwich and it was so yummy. The hot honey sauce is magic, I wanted to put it on everything. I also had a lavender honey latte, which was delicious. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience. I do think a larger space or some type of reserved seating could help prevent the front entrance from feeling so crowded. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Nash. Just a heads-up: it may be tough for large groups unless you're prepared for a longer wait. read more

Milk & Honey - Turkey & Brie - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

[[HIGHLIGHT]]By what felt like divine intervention, we stumbled into this glowing little gem--and from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere wrapped around us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The air was a warm blend of fresh coffee, browning buttered biscuits, and genuine, welcoming smiles that radiated from the counter to the kitchen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated immediately at a cozy, honey-colored table--an inviting start to what felt like pure luck.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And luck it was, because choosing the biscuits to begin may have been the best decision of the day. They were sumptuous--soft, fluffy centers with perfectly golden edges, seemingly kissed with honey butter. Each bite was indulgent, and despite the generous portion, not a crumb was left behind. We shared the hot honey chicken and biscuits, and it was nothing short of exquisite. The chicken was juicy, fried to a flawless golden crisp, and layered with notes of cayenne, sweetness, and something that truly felt like love. It was rich, satisfying, and perfectly portioned for two. From beginning to end, the experience felt like a fairytale I didn't want to end. An absolute must--then a must again. read more

Milk and honey came up multiple times when I was researching the best brunch spots, and it definitely did not disappoint! We didn't have reservations, but walked in as a party of two and were seated outdoors on the patio under their heated lamps. The service was incredible. I'm gluten-free and well there was a few options, I accidentally chose a dish that had sausage which I am allergic to. I asked the server if they could remake it without the meat and offered to pay for it since it was my mistake. They were extremely accommodating and handled it so kindly! The restaurant manager even came by to check if any other modification were needed. The overall experience was fantastic, I felt embarrassed, but they made everything so easy and sweet. The restaurant is located in the Gulch, right by the famous Nashville wings mural. It's a super cute area and perfect for bringing new guests or friends to hang out. read more

this place was super cute and busy!! service was pretty quick for a Sunday and the wait time wasn't crazy. The food was pretty decent, but the portions were insane. I got the hot chicken breakfast biscuit which came with a decent sized chicken patty between two WHOLE biscuits. This thing was not a sandwich, I had to eat it separately. The biscuits were okay, a little dry and honestly too much. This came with potatoes or fruit, but both were tasty. read more

Great place for breakfast - I haven't been there for anything else. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great ambiance and low key folks that are friendly and help you with the great menu selection.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Coffee is a bit light, but will most likely fit with folks preferences. The last time I was there, I ordered the avocado toast which was a great, light option. They make it in a way that has a slight citrus taste to it which sits it apart from the normal "drab" avocado toast that you might picture. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice casual spot that is in a great location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just make sure you are aware that you take the stairs down if you are crossing the bridge. read more

The most disappointing meal we had while in Nashville. We had high hopes due to good reviews and when we entered it looked promising. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A modern bright interior with a pastry case and coffee bar right in the front.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were sat promptly and I will say that the service was friendly throughout the visit. However the actual meal was not good for any of the five people in my party. 4 out of five of us ordered dishes with biscuits. The biscuits were served cold, dry and dense. Not appetizing at all. My dish the Hot Mess came with a mix of hot and cold toppings. The biscuit was split in half with cold toppings piled on one half of the cold biscuit. And the hot toppings (a lukewarm egg and a single thin, cold piece of bacon and a hardened piece of pepperjack cheese) were on the other half. The food took about 25 minutes to come out so I was disappointed that the food didn't come out hot. My brother in law also received the wrong meal, which the server and manager quickly corrected. But he was also disappointed with his corrected meal of a cold biscuit and flavorless crispy chicken. Someone in our party also ordered a brioche cinnamon rolls which was super dense and not fluffy or appetizing. It was only half eaten. The high point were the coffee drinks. I had an iced burnt sugar latte which was lightly sweet. It was really good. Overall, a disappointing meal but we were happy that the price point was not bad. read more

Milk & Honey - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Milk & Honey is a very popular brunch spot near downtown Nashville. It is conveniently located in the Gulch, which is an upscale neighborhood with a lot of shopping and dining. It gets really packed on the weekends so I would recommend arriving early as they also do not take reservations (it is first come first serve). There is indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a coffee shop connected to the restaurant. Our server was really friendly but the service was a bit slow for a Sunday afternoon, likely due to the popularity of this place. We got the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit with French Fries, Hot Mess Biscuit, and Mimosa Bottle. The Mimosa Bottle was a good steal as you get a whole champagne bottle along with three choices of juice. We chose Strawberry Orange, Ruby Red Grapefruit, and Pineapple as our juices. I think Strawberry Orange tasted the best with the champagne. We definitely felt tipsy after finishing the bottle. The Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit was pretty good but the biscuit was a bit too flaky for me. Everything fell apart when I tried to take a bite. My boyfriend liked the Hot Mess Biscuit and it was definitely a hot mess trying to eat it. Overall, I think that this place is overrated, especially with the crazy wait times on the weekends. I probably would not come here again as brunch is often a hit or miss for me, but I am sure for others that it would be fun to come here due to how well-known this spot is for tourists. read more

I was in Nashville for my birthday, and brunch was non negotiable. Milk and Honey was on my list, especially knowing how competitive brunch spots can be on the weekends. Like most places in the city, waits were long across the board. My initial brunch option had a three hour wait, so Milk and Honey became the choice for the day. We still waited about an hour and a half to be seated, which felt pretty on par for a Nashville weekend brunch. Once seated, the experience was pleasant. Colton was our server and did a great job taking care of us throughout the meal. I ordered a pineapple mimosa, which was refreshing and enjoyable. For food, I went with the classic chicken and waffles. The dish was good and satisfying. Nothing overly memorable or standout, but it was solid and well prepared. Overall, Milk and Honey delivered a good brunch experience. If you are in Nashville and willing to brave a wait, it is a reliable option for a relaxed and enjoyable brunch while in the city. read more

Wait was long so we were so excited thinking this place would be awesome. It was disappointing. We had a party of 5. One had the chicken and waffles and his comments were chicken was overcooked and potatoes were pure pepper, another dirty Benedict, the eggs came out overcooked but the waiter fixed the problem. Avocado toast was ordered and had to much salt and pepper. We had the chicken biscuit with an egg added. It was super dry even with the egg added. We also had the Hot Mess her comment was it wasn't cooked how she asked, bacon was soggy. Overall it was rated as ok. We had the ricotta and honey and that was liked by everyone. read more

For obvious reasons, this restaurant is very popular, and we were initially given an hour and twenty minute wait on Easter Sunday, but it was quite a bit shorter than that and because we are out of towners, we decided to walk all the way to the Hermitage Hotel to see the art deco bathroom. So, we had to hightail it back. After a call, they held the table. I had the Vegan Big Kid Breakfast with the spiced scrambled tofu, perfect sourdough toast and the sauteed marinated vegetables, which had an orange/brownish vegetable, which I couldn't quite place, along with kale and was much yummier than my description. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm going to project that this is one of the best breakfast spots in Nashville, reasonably priced and packed, so prepare to wait and stroll around the neighborhood.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My family and I came here the day after Thanksgiving for breakfast. I did call ahead to see how long the wait would be ,please keep in mind that they don't take call aheads. We waited about 45 mins around 9:00am for a table of 5. When we got seated it took our waiter 15 minutes to come to our table. Overall the food was average, nothing to write home about. The service was slow, even though they were busy. However, our waiter was just slow and too laid back for my liking. As I saw other waiters and waitresses moving fast and really serving. Time definitely wasn't of essence with him lol. I doubt if I ever return. read more
