Keith Lee’s review of popular restaurant goes viral after his family is denied service
MMA star-turned-food critic Keith Lee went to review a restaurant, but was unable to do so after his family was denied service.
Last week, Lee went to the Atlanta-based restaurant The Real Milk & Honey in the hopes of trying the establishment's food.
He and his family tried to order food over the phone, but they were greeted with an automatic message saying that they don't take call-in orders, and were urged to go via DoorDash.

But on DoorDash, The Real Milk & Honey was being shown as closed - but elsewhere it said the restaurant closed at 5pm.
Since TikTok star Lee and his family were already at the establishment, they decided to just try go in for themselves to get some food.
Lee stayed in the car for his family to be told that, despite the doors being wide open, the restaurant was closed for 'deep cleaning'.
Meanwhile, other people were still going in to grab their orders - leaving them understandably confused.
MMA fighter Lee has since shared a video to TikTok to share his 'real and authentic experience' of the restaurant, but insisted that he didn't want to bash The Real Milk & Honey, and didn't want others to do so either.
The video has since generated over 19 million views and, in the wake of it going viral, people have been doing a deep dive into the restaurant and discovered its unique house rules.
TikToker @nosybystanders is one person to have found the so-called house rules, and was extremely surprised by some of them.
They noticed that rule three says an '18 percent gratuity' will be 'added to parties of five or more', but then rule nine totally contracts this, saying 'NO parties larger than 4 on days that end in a Y'.
Elsewhere, the allergies rule has been labelled as 'alarming' by some.
Rule four reads: "NO modifications to any of the menu items. (If you have food allergy, please choose another item without the allergen)."
However, according to another social media user, The Real Milk & Honey don't actually list the allergens in its food.
Elsewhere, someone described the house rules as being like 'a prison cafeteria experience'.
This video has also gone viral and has generated over four million views.
People took to the comments section to share their thoughts.
"no parties more than 4 on days that end in Y , which is everyday , and then 18% gratuities for parties or 5 or more … HUH??????" wrote one confused individual.
"The allergy rule is wild!" said another.
A third went on: "It’s supposed to be fun but they got more rules than my moms house."
The Real Milk & Honey has been contacted for comment.
