Reviews
This is was beautiful little diner. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Also have parking space.
Menu has good options for breakfast. Have free refills for the coffee.
Pancakes were nice and fluffy and were very filling.
The Chilaquiles were flavorful and a big portion.
The GPV were delicious. Really enjoyed it.
Coffee was lovely too.
Loved the cozy ambience and would love to come back again.
The staff were remarkable!
The place was busy but everyone got seated with in a reasonable time. I’d say best for smaller parties.
The coffee cake was absolutely delicious. The OJ. Delicious. The potatoes were yummmmmmmmmmmm yum. The fried chicken on the Benny. Pretty good. Never seen that before.
The bennys eggs were cooked to perfection. As least mine were. But both my significant other an I agreed. The sause was a disappointment. It was flat. No flavor. No salt. No taste. No lemon. No butter. Just sadness sauce. I really think if they could perfect that sauce it would be a game changer.
The kitchen was amenable to the special requests with our food and everything was very good!
It was a weekday morning (9-ish) between Christmas and New Year’s. With only ~8 people inside, the ordering occurred quickly and the food came out equally quickly. Interestingly, they asked people who were arriving to sign up on a sheet outside, when only maybe half the seats/tables inside were occupied. It felt silly, watching it. This might be due to not having enough staff to accommodate more people, and/or allowed them to fit in groups of various sizes to the table sizes available.
The current owners (maybe for 2 years now?) bought a local favorite breakfast diner, which was called just ‘Millie’s Kitchen’. I believe they used to own a previous restaurant ‘American Kitchen’,’ and merged the names. The previous diner aspect reveals itself in the small box of a dining room, with stark white walls and harsh lighting. I believe that the owners were actually working the room that day; he was seating customers and she taking & delivering orders.
I’ve read some of the other reviews here, saying how this isn’t as good as the old Millie’s. Whatever. Some people also get used to things (even if not that great), and don’t handle change well. Of the (assumed) owners, he is a bit serious, sure, which I can see how some people might interpret as unfriendly, and she is bubbly. I didn’t take him as unfriendly, just a dude doing his thing.
Regardless of all that, the place is what it is NOW, and I think it’s a decent place for standard, decently made breakfast fare.
Coffee was nice and strong, super hot the way I like it. The fried chicken bene was legit good. Pancakes, eggs, omelets are always legit.
