    Amazing food and exceptional waitstaff! This is my second time I and my colleagues have eaten at this restaurant while visiting the DC area and both times the food has been exceptional. This time we got the devil eggs (the bacon jam eggs are outstanding), the wings, the dirty chicken , the kimchi and collard greens (to die for), the Mac-n-cheese, the cornbread. Everything was phenomenal.

    This the original “Real” Milk & Honey - food is wonderful! Fun and lively atmosphere. This made my husband’s birthday extra special. He chose the catfish, grits, and fries entree. I had the lamp chops and grits. For appetizers we ordered the salmon bites and the honey butter biscuits. Our server Bree is a jewel. Ms. Rosie sang happy birthday and she has a wonderful powerful loving voice!
