Milk & Honey opened earlier this week at 801 King Street, bringing Southern brunch fare to the Old Town Alexandria space that housed Hen Quarter for nine years.
The Thompson Restaurants concept seats 188 guests across two floors, featuring two full-service bars and a private dining room. The restaurant serves dishes including Pan-Seared Salmon & Grits, Carolina Low Country Gumbo, Chicken and Biscoff Waffles, and Cheesecake Pancakes.
“After nine years serving the community at Hen Quarter, we are thrilled to welcome Milk & Honey to this iconic space,” said Alex Berentzen, COO of Thompson Restaurants. “It is something the guests have been asking for, and we are happy to make it happen!”
The Alexandria location is the third Milk & Honey to open this summer as part of Thompson Restaurants’ expansion. The company, founded in 1992, operates more than 65 locations across Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., Ohio, and South Florida under 15 brands, including matchbox, Makers Union, and Big Buns Damn Good Burgers.
Milk & Honey Alexandria operates Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The restaurant features artwork from the local collective Artbae, which is available for purchase. New customers can receive $10 off by joining the restaurant’s email list, and Thompson Table Rewards Program members earn points across all Thompson Restaurant locations.
