I had eaten at Milk and Honey at the Dulles location and had a great experience. I was excited to go back and we went to the Fairfax location. It was completely different. I ordered the same thing as last time, chicken biscoff waffles. The chicken was overdone and dark, there was hardly any biscoff. Our waitress was nowhere to be seen until we only had about a quarter of our food left. We asked for more biscoff, which was brought, but way too late and our drinks were never refilled. I don’t plan on going back. It’s too expensive for food like this.

Food was really tasty and portions were large. As a starter, we ordered the fried green tomatoes to share. This dish came with three breaded and fried tomato slices placed on a creamy sauce and covered with a salad. While the flavor was really great, a lot of the crispiness of the fried tomatoes was lost due to it sitting in the sauce and buried under the dressed salad. That was unexpected and a little disappointing. Again, the flavors were punchy and had the tomatoes retained that crunch, this would have been one of the best dishes I have eaten. For main courses, my husband ordered the shrimp and grits and was pleasantly surprised by the number of shrimp he got but the dish was a little too soupy for his preference. I ordered the smothered chicken and biscuits. The batter used for the chicken was delicious. The chicken is thigh meat, which was juicy and flavorful, but texture is not to everyone's taste. My husband loves thigh meat so he enjoyed this a lot. I asked for extra sauce because it was quite a thin sauce and I needed more. It was brought out without issue. The dish also comes with cheesy eggs and these were amazing!! We also split a cheesy hash. It was pretty good, but had quite a bit of spinach in it, so be aware if that might be an issue for you. We were both expecting a little more of a kick from the cajun sauces in our dishes, they were quite mildly spiced. Overall, this is a really solid brunch choice with a great selection of southern staples and a very friendly and attentive staff. Our server, Semaria, was wonderful. Our minor criticisms are based on personal preferences and we enjoyed the food and left the restaurant very satisfied. We would definitely go back.

We were at Milk and honey in Fairfax for brunch. The restaurant was tastefully decorated and our server Kiki was amazing. She was cheerful and helped us choose the best options. Our mimosas were perfect and the shrimp and grits and cheesecake pancakes were out of this world. Since it was my birthday, Kiki brought out a delicious dessert for the finale. Loved the true Sputhern food. We will definitely go back
