Millie's

06/25/2008 Posted by Tinarocks

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.

Pros: Price, Food, Coffee

Cons: Service, Parking on the Weekends, Ambience, Line on Weekends

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.

Pros: amount of food, casual, friendly, endless coffe, delicious delicious.

Cons: might have to wait for a table. do it.

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.

For years I enjoyed the food at Millie's sister location in Richmond, VA. So, when able to visit Los Angeles I had a destination in mind. Neeedless to say I was not disapppointed, but I will say it anyways, I was not disappointed! Everytime I make the trip to see the women I love (i am from Utah) I grab my fiance by the hand and we go visit my second love MILLIES. Try the turkey tacos and bring an appetite.

Pros: The menu

Cons: I live in Utah

Ever since my boyfriend took me to this dive, I've been craving their food whenever the lazy weekend rolls around. Maybe its all that time sitting at the counter where you watch those cooks working up a sweat to conjure up plates after plates of good ol' comfort food. I have tried their signature dish the devil's mess, banana walnut pancakes, and huevos rancheros and my, my I always end up satisfied and wanting more and more each weekend that passes. (I swear the people there must recognize our faces since we are always at the counter--its the best place to see what kind of dish you want to order for the next time your are there). The prices are reasonable considering they give you a pretty hefty portion. It does get pretty full during peak hours especially if you want to eat outside. If you want to save time, watch some good action in the kitchen, and not mind smelling like the grill then the counter is good for you. The service is great--they are very attentive and always ready to give you more water or coffee. Beware of parking though. Don't park in the strip mall next door, we almost got towed on our 4th visit!

Pros: Good portions, reasonable prices, attentive waiter/waitresses, must-see counter

Cons: Parking, small bathroom

Any of the egg breakfasts with potatoes are great. You can't go wrong.

Pros: good food, good prices

Cons: not enough seating

It's true the place is not pristine, and that parking can be a hassle, but the food is good, the prices are reasonable, and the service is dependable. I especially like the breakfast scrambles and tuna melts. Yum!

Pros: good food, outdoor seating, moderately priced

Cons: street parking

My boyfriend just brought me there a few weeks back and I have to say Millie's is one of the best breakfast spots I've tried in all of LA. It's inexpensive and everything seems homemade. I love it.

This is seriously the best breakfast in LA. It's a little pricey, but it's worth it. I highly suggest the veggie mess (i think that's what it is called). If you're looking for ambiance, go somewhere else. Lots of hipsters. Definately a hangover crowd... (My whole group was hungover). very punk rock breakfast.

Pros: good service, prompt, best breakfast in LA

Cons: , sort of pricey
