Milk & Honey absolutely lived up to the hype. We went for breakfast, and despite the fact that they…read moredon't take reservations, we didn't have to wait at all which already felt like a small miracle. Our server Katie was fantastic. Since it was our first visit and everything on the menu spoke to us, she helped steer us in the right direction. I ended up ordering the pistachio croissant, and honestly... I'd go back for that alone. It was warm, huge by croissant standards, and absolutely heavenly. I even grabbed another one to take home because Future Me deserved a little happiness too. We also tried the raspberry lemon danish, which was a delicious combo, but the pistachio croissant stole the show without breaking a sweat. We started with the poutine, and while it wasn't the traditional version I've had before, it was incredible. Instead of cheese curds blocks, it came with pulled pork and melted cheese, and somehow it just worked. Comfort food with a little Southern flair. For breakfast, we had the ham and cheese omelet with breakfast potatoes. It was exactly what you want it to be--classic, satisfying, and impossible to regret if that's your usual order. I also tried the Liquid Gold juice. Their juice selection is impressive, but I may have accidentally found my forever order on the first try. It was so refreshing, with just a hint of ginger. For a hot drink, I highly recommend the London fog. I'm not usually a tea fan but if you don't want coffee, this is an excellent option. Before we left, we picked up some of their salted caramels to go, and they make the perfect little gift... assuming you have enough self-control not to eat them all in the car. The vibe here is upscale southern diner. One of the signs on the wall said, "All are welcome, but you need to act right," and honestly, that's the kind of life advice we could all use. I also really appreciated that parking was free. In Chattanooga these days it's hard finding a place where you don't have to scan a QR code, download an app, and pay to park just to eat. Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Milk & Honey is absolutely worth a visit...and if you're debating the pistachio croissant, stop debating and just order it. Your only regret will be not getting a second one.

Milk & Honey was one of the most popular brunch spots we visited in Chattanooga, and after eating…read morethere, I understand why. Be prepared for a wait, especially during peak brunch hours. We spent some time outside before being seated, but the food and service made it worth it. I stayed in my carrier throughout the meal and was able to join my humans indoors. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and never made us feel out of place. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was lively, and the service was attentive even though the restaurant was busy. Now for the most important part of this review. While enjoying brunch, I witnessed something I never expected to see: a baby goat riding around the restaurant in a pet stroller. At that moment, I realized Chattanooga may be one of the most pet-friendly places I've ever visited. Between the great food, kind staff, and unforgettable people-watching opportunities, Milk & Honey ended up being one of our favorite brunch stops of the trip. Dogba's verdict: Excellent brunch, friendly service, comfortable carrier dining, and unexpected goat encounters. Five paws !

The entire staff, with Rivers as the obvious leader, works very hard to see that everyone in the place is pleased with their experience from the moment you enter until you leave.

We each got a different sandwich and they were each delicious. I got the Harvest Turkey - the fig jam is delightful! My oldest got the cubano - excellent! My daughter got the chicken salad - it was good but it is a chunky style, so if you prefer it with smaller chunks it may not be for you. My youngest got grilled cheese - you can't go wrong with that! (It's not technically on the menu but the waitress offered it when he said he didn't know what to get.) Finally, my husband got the catfish po-boy and said, "It's the best piece of blackened fish I've ever had!" (I agree!) The remoulade and cajun sauces were good, too. The varied salt and pepper sets added whimsy to the homey atmosphere, too!

Stopped in solo for a quick lunch. Good selection if you're after a healthy, no-frills meal…read more I've got a tree nut allergy, Alpha-Gal, plus a diabetes kicker. The menu here worked well for my restrictions--good selection of healthy options without having to negotiate much. I had the Greek salad with chicken--solid, straightforward, did the job. Small place, tables close together, and a steady stream of people waiting on to-go orders, so it can feel a bit tight. Order from a screen, pay by card, wait for your name--efficient, but don't come expecting a sit-down experience. Parking is a bit of a question mark. Strip mall situation with some confusion around validation--worth paying attention to if you go. Probably not the best fit for small kids given the tight quarters, and I wouldn't book it for a date or business meal. But for a quick, healthy lunch on your own or with a friend? It works. Good for: casual solo meals, quick lunch Would return for a healthy option.

The ambiance, especially the bar area is beautiful and can feel somewhere between an elevated casual to mid-high end experience. Some things I'd like to see happen here: (1) a more true and robust brunch menu and please get an espresso machine, (2) brunch could use some live music and/or a dj (like a toned-down Stateside Kitchen vibe or a jazz trio--something--anything). The food is so good here, there is no reason this place shouldn't be absolutely packed on a Sunday.

The beets were fresh and the goat cheese carried so much flavor. For the desserts, we got the carrot cake with pecans and chocolate cheesecake. Both were soooo good. I would get both of them again, especially the carrot cake which was so warm and moist. And the candied pecans were such a nice complement to the cake - not too sweet at all. The ambience is super nice and fresh, and our server was so sweet and engaging. The hostess as well. Everybody there was so nice and welcoming.

Decent draft beer selection, which will always resonate well with me. We were there with the grandkids, so here's the first comment, while I don't expect a culinary masterpiece for a kids meal, a grilled cheese sandwich should be more than a slice of Kraft cheese between two slices of bread, and when a six year old complains that the popcorn chicken is nothing but breading, you've got an issue. I went with the special as I was talked out of the beef stew. It was a melted turkey breast sandwich, with bacon on sourdough. It was okay, only, would never have guessed it was sourdough, it was a bit light on the protein, a totally forgettable experience. The service was acceptable, though I wish I hadn't allowed myself to be talked out of the beef stew.
