"Brought to Old Town Alexandria by Thompson Restaurants and opening Thursday, July 17, this two-story Southern-styled brunch concept occupies the former Hen Quarter space and includes two full-service bars, a large private dining room, and seating for up to 188." - Tierney Plumb
Delicious comfort food served with friendly Southern hospitality. I had the Crispy Fish Sandwich ($19) with Tater Tots. Everything was so good. I walked upstairs so I wouldn't miss any of the interesting art. Thoroughly enjoyable lunch.

Excellent food excellent service and there is only one or two items that have pork so that’s perfect for us non pork eaters.
Caleb provided incredible service. The fried green tomatoes were best I’ve ever eaten and chicken and biscuits were delicious. I had gumbo and it didn’t have much okra but did have plenty of seafood.
Highly recommend this place and we’ll be back again.

Visited one week after opening in Old Town Alexandria. Easy to make reservations online with OpenTable and we wear promptly seated upon arrival. Our server was prompt and provided good recommendations regarding the menu - checked on us regularly. The food service was prompt - the yogurt appetizer was so good and creamy - I asked for only strawberries with it but it comes with seasonal berries. The chicken sandwich was dry and the fries as shown in the photo were flat and cold. Upon receiving the bill there was an issue with the restaurant’s system and I was charged several times however the manager was able to resolve, greeted me and provided a gift card for future use at the restaurant. I really appreciated the customer service.

I had a great experience at Milk & Honey! Our server Caleb was incredibly professional, attentive, and friendly from the moment we sat down. They made us feel welcome and checked on us just the right amount — not too much, not too little. They gave great menu suggestions and made sure our food and drinks came out exactly how we wanted.
It’s always refreshing to be served by someone who clearly enjoys what they do and genuinely cares about the guest experience. Big thanks for making our visit smooth and enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back again!
