Really wanted to give a higher rating but a simple order like a salad gone wrong, it is unforgivable. A 3-star rating is still being generous though because my mom liked it here. Yes, it was a weekend and it was busy, but with the higher cost of everything, customers do have the right to be picky. Server was nice but she was frazzled. Ordered my salad with dressing and blue cheese on the side. When it was served, it was tossed with a good amount of vinaigrette dressing and the blue cheese was nowhere to be found. I do not like sending my food back due to negative history at another restaurant, so I just tried to make the best of the situation. Overall, the salad tasted, for lack of a better word, weird with the worst vinaigrette I have ever tasted. It is the first time I did not finish my salad. Even my son made a face in disgust when I asked him to try. The steak was forgettable at best. My first and only meal of the day was a salad that I wish never to encounter ever again. The fried zucchini was oily and burnt. Had to peel off the breading to get to the soggy zucchini. I did not even want to gamble on dessert.

My family went here for dinner. There were 8 of us eating and 2 infants. We were seated immediately. The menu has so many different items to choose from. Breakfast is served all day as well. Everything on the menu sounds and looks so good. I ordered the Fisherman’s Basket with was fish and chips and breaded shrimp with a side of coleslaw. The fish and shrimp and French fries were perfectly crispy and not greasy at all. The coleslaw was cold and crunchy and they use celery seed in the recipe and it paired perfectly with the fish. Everyone else was happy with what they ordered also. All of our plates were empty. The waiter got our drinks quickly and our food came out pretty fast. My family doesn’t eat here often, but when we do, we always leave satisfied. We also tend to come here during the holidays because they decorate their restaurant for Christmas so the restaurant has a cozy festive feel. Oh and the hot chocolate is yummy too. And our waiter brought out the can of whipped cream to top off our hot chocolates. :) I definitely recommend this restaurant. Their breakfast plates are very good too. You have to try their giant warm from the oven cinnamon rolls. Absolutely delicious!!

Looking for a nice and comfortable place with amazing, flavorful and tasty food? This is it! They have a relaxing atmosphere. To me, it's not a place to try and make a first impression or for a first date... I think it's better for later dates because of the comfort level. In other words, it's a great place to have dinner with someone you already know. It's ideal for families and kids. The food is flavorful and they have decent portion sizes. The many times that we've gone, the service has been cool. I will say that their pies are amazing!!! So delightful and a perfect amount of sweetness. One can take a small individual one to go. They have apple pie and cherry pie amongst other types. Both that we tried have been delicious!!!😋😋😋

We LOVE Millie's for so many reasons. Everyone treats you like family. The food is down-home comfort style, and the coffee is always fresh. The senior menu is just right for us. Scriptures on the menu remind us that God is good all the time.

So first time here and I guess I had really high expectations since it looks like a really authentic diner. The atmosphere is absolutely fantastic and the service is great. I had the chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were great but the gravy was just ok. The eggs are small and not very flavorful. The hash browns were good and the coffee again just ok. The prices are good and you end up getting what you pay for. Like I said tho the restaurant is really cute and the service is good. Will give it a few months but would like to try again.

My grandma , mom and I were looking for a place to eat while we were in the area and found this little gem! My grandma said it was tasted just like home cooked food! Maricela was our server and she was awesome!!! We’ll def make the trip back here again. Please consider reopening in riverside. Order the zucchini!! It was delicious!!

Came here back in mid-May, just saw it from the street & decided to give it a try. The atmosphere inside was great, the decor was pleasing as it was seemingly quite patriotic throughout the place. Our waitress was very courteous and attentive to our needs. As for the food = WOW ! The portion sizes certainly did not disappoint. Everything tasted awesome, leaving me very satisfied once finished. We'll be sure to be back soon ! 😋
