The Scene
Millie's is like a 1950s housewife who deserted her family, started chain-smoking and joined a hard-core band. Yet to her kids, she's still a sweetie. Belly up to the counter to watch cooks at the old stove or sit in the side room hung with aprons embroidered with nasty slogans.
The Food
The menu features eggs and pancakes with personality. The Devil's Mess scramble is loaded with Cajun-spiced turkey sausage and white-cheddar cheese. The Marsala-sweetened Hangtown Fry boasts a truckload of bacon and oysters. On the lunch side, sandwiches are also zippier, like the grilled cheese sandwich crackling with chipotle heat. The heavy hamburger is served on a spongy bun--perfect for getting a handle on the quality toppings.

The food is as delicious as the service is horrible. Every single time I've gone I've sat at a table for at least 10 minutes before a server even came by the table (even if there are less than 5 tables sat!). Once the order is taken don't expect to see the server again until your food comes. Once they bring the food ask for anything you'll need cuz you won't see them till they drop the check. The bussers are awesome! They help you with everything else if you give them puppy dog eyes. =) I'd still go just because the food's that good. I just wish I could tip the bussers instead of the servers. They seem to do alot of nothing.

omigod i'm full. Happy mess, devil's mess, rosemary potatoes, coffee, bacon. And waffles, too. This is breakfast, and really done right. Our server was very nice, although a little overwhelmed, but it didn't seem to affect things too much. Food is delicious, and ample. You actually get what you pay for. Millie's has a neighborhood feel, and you find yourself in conversations with those around you as you pass the tapatio and syrup back and forth; this is a good thing, unless you're the hollywood type that avoids talking to lesser beings. Perfect on any sunday, or any day you want to feel like sunday.

Millie's is a fantastic choice for breakfast or lunch in Silver Lake. Try the Eleanor R. special for breakfast -- the rosemary potatoes with eggs, cheese, guacamole, salsa and sour cream will get you coming back for more. Another highlight are the banana walnut pancakes -- yummy! I've also had the BLT for lunch, which was fantastic. On top of the food, it's a great spot to enjoy the sunshine at one of the sidewalk tables. Also great for Silver Lake people watching. One tip -- like all breakfast spots in Silver Lake (and probably everywhere else on the planet) get there early or late unless you want to wait for a table.
