Visiting from Sacramento California for Dr appointments and came here because it's next to the Hampton. Service was amazing and great hospitality! Everything was delicious. Strawberry Margaritas $1.39 each. Hope to be back soon in a couple months! read more

Don & Millie's - Diners Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Felt like a quintessential Omaha experience to try a cheese frenchee. I'm glad I tried it but will not be something I'd get again. I only ate 1 piece of the 4 as it was a little plain and too oily/greasy for me and I knew it was just going to hurt my stomach. This is what I thought would happen going in, but again, had to try it for the authentic Omaha experience. The fries themselves were fantastic shoestring fries, and paired with their good house ranch - mwah! Also got the chips and cheese sauce for the table and it was something I'd definitely get again. Loved the Cajun seasoning they put on the chips paired with the rotel cheese sauce. Service was quick and friendly and the restaurant was decorated with old photos of the restaurant and its inspiration, which I liked seeing. read more

Don & Millie's - Cheese frenchee combo - Diners Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

After trying to find what's something unique to eat in Nebraska, I found an article about the Cheese Frenchee (deep-fried grilled cheese sandwich). This was the place to get them. https://www.foodandwine.com/travel/cheese-frenchee We ordered at the drive thru to take it back to our hotel. I was only about to eat one of the four pieces. It was just not good to me. Maybe it's the oil that was used to deep fry it. I tossed most of it away... read more

Don & Millie's - CHEESE FRENCHEE - Diners Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

We went to Don & Millie's to try another regional specialty on our road trip - the Cheese Frenchie. When we walked into this fast food establishment, we found tons of cars in the drive-thru and plenty of people eating in - I suppose healthcare workers in the nearby hospital getting a quick dinner? At any rate, the interior has a well-worn, very 90's fast food restaurant decor and amenities. It looks like this small chain hasn't modernized at all, giving it a certain charm, yet making it a bit dingy. Luckily the order line inside wasn't very long and we ended up getting a couple of items off the menu that seemed interesting. Cheese Frenchie ($6.89) - This is certainly an intriguing sandwich. It's a basic grilled cheese, but cut into fourths, then breaded and fried. There's a light crisp on the exterior breading but it's not oily, and the soft white bread texture on the interior makes it easy to eat. American cheese oozes out with every bite. The breading on the outside of the sandwich serves to seal all of the cheese inside so it gets distributed pretty evenly and barely any escapes into the wrapper. In terms of taste - honestly it's pretty normal for a grilled cheese. Whatever spices they use to get that distinct orange color on the exterior doesn't really add any flavor. While certainly interesting to try, I'm not sure I would take this over a regular grilled cheese. (3/5) Onions Rings, Large ($4.49) - These are homemade onion rings that honestly might be worse than commercial ones. The breading is half way flaked off by the time the rings get to you. They aren't overly salted - in fact, I'd say the onion rings as a whole are quite under seasoned - so much so that you have to dip in ranch or ketchup to make them palatable. Each ring has to be picked up relatively gingerly to prevent the rest of the breading from disintegrating in front of you. The rings are barely drained of oil when served - so much oil pools that by the time you finish, the bottom of the paper tray is transparent from the grease. Overall I found these onion rings to be pretty disappointing, although I'm not sure if this is a recipe issue or an issue with the cook. (2/5) Baked Potato Soup ($4.69) - I found this soup to be quite good. It's an exceptionally thick and creamy soup with a good amount of extremely tender sliced potatoes mixed in, then topped with a large amount of bacon bits, cheese, and scallions. The cheese melts into the soup and gives a stretchy quality even better than that of pizza, with thin gossamer strands of cheese hanging off of the spoon with every dip. There are no potato skins to mar the creamy and rich texture. (4/5) Overall I found the food to just be okay. I'd say it's worth a try if you're in town. It's just not somewhere that I would visit again. Bathrooms - Larger fast-food style bathrooms read more

Whenever I am meeting one of my friends near her office for lunch, we typically stop here because theres a variety of healthy and not so healthy options. Across the city, I think all Don and Millies are great, but this one is really great with their chicken. I've never had a bad chicken on my salad here. Whether its grilled or breaded. I HAVE to have to get onion rings and fries combo is the perfect portion of their super thin and crispy rings, and i love their shoe string fries. read more

Looked up iconic NE foods and discovered the Cheese Frenchee. Don and Millie's was the only place that had it so I stopped in and tried 1 of the triangles before hitting the road again. It was extremely good fresh but by the time I made it to the highway and started eating again it wasn't very good. If you're coming for the Frenchee eat it fresh. The rest of the food was just ok. Service was good. Ambiance was typical fast food. read more

Super excited to say that we were able to check out this Omaha original. Listed some take aways below: 1. Delicious "grease burger" 2. Fries and onion rings mediocre 3. Dining room closes at 9pm 4. No margaritas after 9pm 5. Expensive compared to other fast food chains, spent over $30 for 2 people read more

Don & Millie's was started in Omaha, and has several locations in the Omaha/Lincoln area. It's fast food, it was started in 1989, and at that time it was better than standard fast food options. Now there are places like 5 Guys and Culver's with this kind of food. Those places have ice cream, Don & Millie's has margaritas, so you can choose which thing you want more. The food is good for what it is, definitely on the greasy side. I had heard about the cheese frenchie for years but that sounded like it would be greasy and disappointing. Well, that was true. So much oil and so little cheese. Oh well. Their onion rings are awesome. My father-in-law Don always loved the Don burgers. My iced tea was not good, hopefully better care is given to other products. They have the baked potato soup on their Lenten menu. My daughter's came with bacon on it, she might have ordered it as a loaded baked potato soup though. It would be good for staff to clarify this. We don't observe Lent, but we know that a lot of people do, and this was on a Friday during it. read more

I've only had the burger and fries but I swear by it and my girlfriend I obsessed with the potato soup

I probably don't come here often enough for as close as it is to my workplace. That said I got the Southwest Chicken salad today. The line for the drive thru was long (almost out onto Farnam Street!) so I just ran inside and placed my order to go at the counter. I see now that like many restaurants these days, one can order online in advance and then swoop in to pick it up. I think I'll do that next time. The staff was quick and friendly and also generous with the condiments like salsa and chipotle ranch. For $7.99 I had a good lunch that was healthy and filling. I didn't get one today but they have really good cookies, too! read more

Don & Millie's - Southwest chicken salad comes with salsa and/or chipotle ranch - Diners Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. This was my first time and it had been recommended to me. I was disappointed. The onion rings and fries were hot and fresh. The burger looked overcooked and was much smaller than the bun. The bun was fresh. There was an up charge because I wanted fries and rings with my hamburger combo, but I was not informed of that prior to paying. The hamburger was just OK. Overall, nothing to write home about and we won't be returning. read more

Forget Don and Millies if you want a good chili Dog. It's a cheap fast food joint. You get what you pay for.

Had a great time visiting with an old friend at Don & Millies. The $5 shake and bake combo is awesome. You get a small shake and a bowl of potato soup. Seriously, comfort meets guilty pleasure on the cheap. Yes please! While D&M's potato soup could use a little sprucing up, it's pretty good! My friend got the taco salad, per usual. She loves it and that's all she gets. Only real negative here was that they weren't calling out orders so we had to pay more attention than other locations. If you like diner food on the cheap, go give 'em a try! Happy eating Yelpers! read more

Don & Millie's - the front of the store - Diners Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Was not my fav place. Kind of dirty and it's a weird place with weird food options. Girl at the register had a hard time listening so we had to keep repeating ourselves read more

Decided to try Don & Millie's bc it is so close to home and prices seemed fair compared to places around. Got the Double Don w/fries and large Vanilla Shake. I ordered for pick-up and was able to grab my order thru the drive-thru. The Double Don was a sturdy burger and came w/the signature onion ring on the side. Really enjoyed this meal - burger was hot, ingredients were fresh; fries were tasty; shake was pretty good, although it could have been a little thicker. I'm a big Whataburger fan and that's my standard; but overall, I'd say Don and Millie's did a pretty good job. I'll be back to try one of their margaritas! read more

For the quick time we drove through the drive through, the few items we got was awesome. We ordered after going to runza, the frenchies combo with fries. The food was fattening but damn delicious. Nothing was dried out or tasteless. I don't know if I will be back but I could see how this food can be addicting. read more

Don & Millie's - Diners Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This place simply disappoints me. As soon as I walk in I know something is wrong. I order the crispy chicken sandwhich combo, no bacon or tomato's. I receive my food 5 minutes later. I receive a GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWHICH with BACON. So I send my food back to get my order correct. 5 minutes later I get my food, exactly what I ordered. I get fries and my crispy chicken sandwich. It seems fine until I take a bite, which it tastes like cardboard. I don't eat anymore because I lose my appetite. This is why to never come here. read more

Great burgers and shakes!!! Love it that it is all Home made!! I'll definitely eat here again.

I ordered a foot long chili dog and thought cheese came with the meal since the picture showed it. Instead of my combo costing $10.59 plus tax, it winded up being $12.55. NEVER AGAIN!!!! Stop with the false advertising! read more

I went for a western style cheeseburger, which is "Western Sauce" (1000 island dressing?) and two onion rings and fries. As others have said the fries are just like Burger King but that's fine with me. The cheeseburger was wonderful. If you prefer western they hold everything else so it was a little dry. The 50s diner thing is a bit played out but it works. My cashier was in training so it took forever but that's normal these days so no deductions for that. I'll go back because it's one of the few real fast food options in this neighborhood. read more

I left on Millie's but I'll tell you what They cheap us on french fries????? Really???? French fries are dirt cheap you can buy a whole bag of french fries and a grocery store as a consumer for two bucks so I know a restaurant besides that Don and Millie's can get them for probably 12 cents for a whole big box So why would any restaurant cheat there good customers on french fries. It's retarded. I won't be back until they change their mind on that read more

Good faster Food and tasty . Drive through and helps faster errands run . It's still fast food don't expect much

Is local fast food a thing? Because that's kind of how I'd describe this place--its kind of a cross between a diner and a fast food burger joint, with some additional food options. I really wasn't in the mood for greasy spoon food, so I stuck with a vanilla shake (very thick, very good). It was nice to see that they had added fish to the menu for lent, but otherwise there aren't a ton of fish/non meat options. Good roadtrip food, not somewhere I'd actively return to. read more

Don & Millie's - Smoked turkey wrap and chicken tenders with fries - Diners Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Color Me Disappointed I ordered after searching for their menu online. What caught my eye was the description of their Chili Cheese Baker Potato: "Smothered with chili and cheese." Yum! Who can pass THAT up? What I got was a half raw baked potato, maybe a dollop of chili and some yellow cheese. What I did not get: "a smothered baked potato." The potato was not only dry and not completely cooked but not terribly hot, either. I ate the bits of potato that actually had "stuff" on it and left the uncooked "shell" for the garbage. The photos I've attached demonstrate how underwhelming my meal was. Granted, it's been a few years since I've visited Don and Millie's, but this is clearly not what I remember. I remember lots of chili, or smothered with cheese. On many levels, this was a waste of time. read more

Don & Millie's - Double Don with onion rings - Diners Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

As it turns out, Don & Millie's is the offspring of the old Grandmother's restaurant. A bit of trivia for you locals that remember the much beloved restaurant that closed in 2014. I was born and raised in Omaha and visited all five Omaha locations at one time or another. I've found the local chain to be tasty and consistent. This particular location is no different. I hit the drive thru on a cold pandemicky evening and ordered my usual: double cheeseburger with onion ring on top standard, fries with cheese sauce and a Dr. Pepper. I'll warn that this burger is cheesy and greasy and delicious. Pro tip: slide that onion ring inside the burger. I reckon it's the best fast food burger in town. If there's one area that D&M is lacking it's the fries. They tend to be a bit soggy and completely unremarkable unless you add the cheese sauce. Otherwise, go for a side of onion rings. Now they may be jealous of the ring that's being swallowed up by all the grease and cheese of the burger but don't feel bad. It's what they signed up for. Definitely add this or any of the locations your burger rotation. read more

IN SHORT: Was thinking Diner....this is more like a McDonald's. Lots of selection to choose from. Fries are ok. They are Burger King fries. Their nachos make Taco Bell nachos look gourmet. (The pictures on the wall lie) Positive: $1.99 long necks (3.2 beer :/ ) Potato soup is really good! They need to turn up the warming pot or nuke it a little longer. But it's really good. It's like a scalloped potato soup. Bacon chives and cheese. Just needs a dollop of sour cream. read more

Don & Millie's - Lunch hour - Diners Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I was looking forward to trying a cheese frenchie for the first time in 52 years..last one was in King's on "O" st in Lincoln. menu said 'batter coated'...no way. the bread had some type of corn meal/bread crumb scantily applied to the outside. not sure if it was actually deep fried, oven air fried, or griddle fried. either way it was a real disappointment and poor facsimile to the light, flake-coated version from long ago. ChilI was also over-spiced with chili-powder and under flavored. read more

Don and Millies is my favorite place to grab a burger in Midtown Omaha. Its a local chain With a 1950s amblance compete with 50s playing in the background. They have a wide variety of burgers , salads,and stuffed baked potatoes! I usaully have either the cheeseburger combo or the Double Don ,which is a double cheesburger with Bacon , these comboscome with either fries or onion rings .They a deep fried sandwich called the Cheese Frenchee, ! They do offer Beer and magerithas,which I have been told are great. But i wouldn' t know since i always get a pop with my meal! Its much better than any of the national fast food places in the area! read more

I ate at this D&M's last week for lunch. It's a typical fast food setup. You walk in, place your order, and wait for it to come up. The service was super fast and friendly. I must have received my Double Don meal in less than 3 minutes after ordering it. The food was great and it's pretty crazy how much meat you actually get on the Double Don. It was massive and definitely worth the money if you can conquer it. The dining room has a lot of space and was really clean. All in all, if I'm in the mood for a good, fast-food style hamburger, I will definitely check out D&m's again. read more

Went here for happy hour after 14 plus hour shift. If you're craving junk food and a margarita, you can't beat the value. Strawberry blended margarita stood out against the lime for me. You can have your margarita on the rocks or blended with your choice of sugar or salt on the rim. I had some of my friend's fries and of course I tried the Cheese Frenchee! I guess you have to try the frenchee once in your life. It's a deep fried cheese sandwich with a crisp coating. The fries were mediocre but not disappointing. I do believe they have other happy hot specials as well. Check them out for happy hour! read more

Was expecting a traditional diner experience, but it's a fast food joint. The food admittedly was pretty good, and the cashier was friendly. However, it seemed a little dirtier than it needed to be, and some of the patrons seemed less than hygienic (not restaurant's fault). Many better options within walking distance in the Blackstone area. read more

If you like it,you better put a ring on it. I have always loved a great greasy burger from Don and Millie's. I usually get the double cheeseburger combo. The burgers here are always delicious grease bombs. You can upgrade your combos in a huge variety of ways I generally either upgrade my French fries to a large for twenty cents more or to the family size for and extra buck thirty. The burger is also topped with a single onion ring. Ranch is free, as well as Don and Millie's signature southwestern sauce, offered in pumps by the register. There are also two large dispensers for the one dollar margaritas offered here original lime or strawberry, they come either blended or on the rocks. The dollar margaritas are then rimmed with either sugar or salt. This location offers rotating sale items as well at this current time it is a one dollar shake, offered in the three traditional flavors, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, at this price I tried all three, with chocolate being the stand out winner. read more

Don & Millie's - Yum! - Diners Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Don & Millie's goes for that classic sock hop feel. They play doo-wop music and there're vintage photos of the gang hanging out like kids did in the 1950s. It's like Happy Days all up in this place. Except it's really just a greasy fast food burger joint. With that in mind, it's one of the better fast joints out there. Their burgers are good. For about the same price as one of those fancy angus whatever burgers from McDonald's, you can actually get a real burger that's made to order. The fries and onion rings are a notch or two above regular fast food fare as well. It's also a small local chain with multiple locations in Omaha and Lincoln. Last but not least, they have 99-cent margaritas and $2 longnecks. Well done, Don & Millie's. Well done. read more

Don & Millie's - Double Don - Diners Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Don and Millie's is a staple of Omaha. I say this because there are a few in town and even in Lincoln. do you know what a Frenchee is? If you did not grow up in the MidWest, then it is safe to say no. How could anybody not love a deep fried grilled cheese sandwich? Add that to the watery Ranch dressing that you get for free and you have D&M's. really great onion rings and fast food fries, too. They make fresh taco salads, burgers, wraps, footlongs also. The menu is pretty simple and done by hand. Add to your meal with $.99 margaritas that work just fine or $2 Bud product bottles (used to be a buck) and you are ready to go out to the bars for less than $10 with food and drink. good old timey feel, too read more
