Went to Millie"s for lunch today with friends. What a pleasant surprise we Had, starting with the staff. Armando asked us if we would like to sit in the other room which was a little quieter to sit and talk, which we appreciated. While seating us we mentioned to Armando we loved the music he was playing. After looking at the menu and asking the staffs input we each chose an Omelet, Chorrizo and eggs and chicken and waffles, topping off with crepes for dessert, delish. Armando, Jessica along with the others were very friendly and accommodating. We will be back. This was a nice family diner with a cute souvenir shop. read more

Great restaurant with some heart in Covina! A go to favorite for comfort food and great breakfast food. The service is great and the food is so delicious. It really tastes like Grandma made it! Try the Monte Cristo sandwich it's absolutely delicious! read more

Me and my girlfriend decided to give it a try. Never again. There were people seated before us who came in after. First red flag. We finally get seated and the table was sticky as hell. I wiped it down myself and it was still sticky. 2nd red flag. We get our food and my sausage is still pink in the middle. And my french toast taste like fucking carrot cake and they were dark as shit. This establishment is dirty as hell and shouldn't be open. Never again will I come here and I would never recommend this to anyone. Not even someone I hate read more

I don't know what was mushier the hash browns or the underdone eggs. Literally nothing on my plate was good

Been going here for years. But, this place is going down hill. The other day I went in to get breakfast and I ordered pancakes along with my meal. When I started to eat my pancakes I noticed it tasted sour! I was completely shocked. It was so bad I spit it out right on my plate. Super gross. Long story short according to the manager the milk used was expired. Needless to say they were not forth coming with information. Also, I noticed the old plastic cups are chipping and pieces and particles are most likely floating in the water. The worst part is the older waitress was very standoffish about the incident. Not apologetic or empathetic. She acted like I was going try to get a free meal out of it. Really bad form on her part. The last thing I will mention is over time I also noticed the tables are dirty and the waitresses and cleaning people routinely leave the coffee creamer bowls with empty used creamers. And one occasion a used napkin. I feel bad for writing this, because I used to love it there. Hopefully management steps in before this place closes down for good. read more

My family received a $25.00 gift certificate for Millie's restaurant. We went to the Millie'srestaurant in Covina, closest to our home in Upland. We alerted the waitress about the gift certificate. When it was time to pay, we were told the certificate was not valid, because this was a privately owned restaurant and no longer part of the Millie's chain. You could have fooled me from the name on the building. What happened to franchise law? The establishment should have a name change, but the owner was kind enough to let us know we could use the certificate in Anaheim! Oh, ok, we'll drive the 40 miles next time. Thanks for the tip.Incidentally I find it ironic this address is still listed on the Millie's list of restaurants. Won't be back. read more

Just the second time I went to this restaurant in 20 years thought it would be good for lunch or dinner Me and my daughter ordered I ordered the fried chicken she ordered the avocado turkey melt let me tell you something that is the worst chicken I ever had in my life it didn't even taste like chicken now I'm sitting here wondering if I'm going to get food poisoning from this restaurant at least my daughter sandwich was good I will never eat at this restaurant again worst chicken in my life I don't know how the rest of their food taste but I don't want to find out I'm not wasting my hard-earned money on junk food like that I don't know if it was the chicken or the oil they use but something didn't taste right I'm praying to God that I don't end up sick all night from food poisoning so I leave it up to you if you want to chance your stomach to food like this because you could end up with food poisoning good luck read more

This is not the Millie's of years ago. I had the Pot Pie which had processed chicken loaf for meat; my wives steak would be better used for shoe leather and my daughter's meal was marginal at best. This was a Saturday evening, 6:00 pm, and the place was virtually empty; maybe 4 tables had customers; now I know why. The food was almost as bad as the service, which stunk, as our server left to go home half way through our meal. Won't ever be back again. Can't see what's keeping this place open. read more

One of my favorite breakfast spots. Feels like an old school diner from the set up to the service. Everyone is polite and the food is good. One of the best treats you can do for yourself is just try ANY of the muffins behind the glass counter that are baked in-house. Fyi...Sunday's before noon can get a little crowded because there's usually a moderate after church rush. read more

I have lived around the block from this establishment for years. I walk by daily and always see a lot of people inside. Tonight I walked by with my dogs and decided to place an order to go.. So I looked up their menu on-line and saw they offered a cobb salad for almost $11.00, ok I thought it's probably huge, there is a lot of stuff on the cobb salad (normally). So after my walk, I jumped in my vehicle and drove there. The Hostess was very nice and I paid $11.98 and browsed the pies, I waited for almost 15 minutes and the Hostess brought the standard white to-go box gave me a glance of the salad (I didnt have my glasses on) she closed the box up and I said you know what, may I please get a slice of the cheesecake, so she rang me up once again $6.53 and placed it in the same bag the salad was in. Well I get home and remove the cheesecake to find the salad feels super light!! I open it and there is your sliced egg, couple small strips of chicken breast, small black olives, crispy bacon (very good), bleu cheese crumbles, diced tomatoe, shredded carrots/cabbage and maybe JUST MAYBE A HANDFUL OF ROMAINE!!! I was like WOW REALLY!! I paid $12 Bucks for this?!!! Never again will I order a salad from here, with 12 dollars I could have made a cobb salad that would last me a week but I was a tad lazy and just felt like being pampered... LESSON LEARNED!!! I'm not knocking the quality nor the flavor but a 12 Dollar salad should leave one FULL AND NOT WANTING MORE!!! read more

Suzanne is the best server, always sweet and ready to serve with a smile. The food is delicious and very fast! I like to come here with my family and enjoy a nice Sunday brunch. read more

Had the worst service this morning, Tina created the problem. We were seated pretty fast, thats when the problem began. Tina walks up 10 minutes after we were seated didn't seem to happy to help us asked us what we wanted to drink , took our orders and never came back, than someone else walked up 5 minutes after that and says hey I'll be your server, what do you want to drink, awkward !!! So we place our drink orders again and food orders, they eventually bring our drinks. We were seated around 10:32 am and got our food around 11:10 am , great customer service, not. 23 minutes to get our family going. The funny thing is we were going to Fonda don chon, and Tina and crew ensured we will not be back to Millie's in a long time , that's probably why they are slowly going out of business. read more

We have eaten at Millie's a few times, mostly breakfast items which were good. But I ordered a Millie's chicken fried steak, which was a frozen patty that would fit a small burger bun. I looked at the menu again, and do not see it listed. But I was very disappointed in this menu item, if I want a chicken fried steak or chicken I will go to the peppertree. read more

I went here for breakfast and I must say I wasn't disappointed. This is a great alternative to Denny's. I had the bacon and eggs which was excellent. The item that tipped it off was the Cinnamon Roll which was soooo freakin good!! Overall friendly staff and great experience. read more

Ugh, what a mess. Ok, so my last review mentioned how consistent this Millie's is....since that time, it's become inconsistent. The good news is that they have a really decent host now, a young gentleman who pays attention to his job and is genuinely friendly. Many of the servers have been here for a hundred years and are nice enough, but not always the best at being on top of things. On one hand I understand, I mean I can imagine how I would feel if I served up food for at least 15 years...i'd probably be ready to fling a few plates myself, but on the other hand, that's not really the customers problem. There are a couple of servers that I hope to wind up in their areas...and one servers I will not be sitting in her area ever again. The last two times I was there I had pretty unfortunate dealing with her..the first time she took about 15 minutes coming around to take our order even though we had closed our menus and were trying to wait patiently. The last time I was there I asked to move from the booth to a table as the person I was meeting was ummm portly...lol, the server sweetly said sure and walked away. She didn't bother to help me carry the drinks, menus or silverware to the new table. My family has been coming here for years...I really wish management would take note and get it together! read more

Service is great here and their food is good but I can't say they have much of a selection for my taste as far as dinner.

1st time here. I am impressed. The food was great, and the omelette was packed with spinach and mushrooms. I'll be coming here again.

A group of friends and I ate here tonight, good service and excellent food. I ordered the friend chicken and it was the greatest fried chicken I've ever had. No kidding! Friends enjoyed their meals as well. I'm excited to come back and try some of the other fare; menu looks like it has a lot of good options, such as the Monte Cristo, which two of my friends ordered and enjoyed. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Food and service was good a couple years ago, but it has gone down hill. Last 2 times my wife have gone. The food is served cold and under cooked. The server was somewhat rude. The soda was flat. The breakfast cook on Sundays should not be cooking he prob should be washing dishes instead. We will not be going back. Will be looking for new place. I have a feeling this place will probably end up closing up in a couple years with the food they are serving now. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Today was our last visit to Millie's. We usually go every few weeks on Sunday morning for late breakfast. It's like Denny's or Norms but usually less greasy. I ordered the California avocado omelette with country potatoes and an English muffin--as I usually do. Today we waited forever for our food. The omelette came out dry, crispy, and gray. The potatoes looked like dry mashed potatoes that were flattened on the grill until burned. The English muffin was charred. Our server came by quite a while after our food came to see how it was. When I asked if the potatoes always came out like that, she said: "yes, on the weekends." Then I asked if the gray omelette and burned muffin were also typical, and she said yes because the kitchen makes mass quantities on the weekend. The thing is, it was not busy. She said she would talk to the manager to get the meal taken off the bill; yet, when she dropped the bill it still had the meal on it. When we went up to pay, the manager (I assume) swiped my card, and we were charged for the whole meal. When I said something about it at the register, the manager just said: " oh sorry." I ended up getting a box and bringing the food home for my dogs; they liked the potatoes. Typically, if something needs to be taken off the bill the server asks the manager prior to do it prior to dropping off the bill, right? My husband's burger could have also been a substitute puck at a King's game, and he never received the iced tea he ordered. I understand that restaurants get busy and food comes out hastily when the kitchen gets backed up. But shouldn't there be some level of pride in the food and service? When quality and service are completely disregarded, I just can't go back. Ew. read more

really good food mario is an awesome server good chicken tostadas .big menu to choose from..treat yourself..

I have been going to millies since 1997. Walked out and waited for the family to eat. Worst service ever! No drinks, sit you down and you just wait. $9 for bacon and eggs with horrible service. Get more help or better management! Good luck. -5 stars read more

OMG! We went there today and it took about 30 minutes to get served. Two other couples left cause they got tired of waiting. This place is too slow....so if, you have more than 1 and 1/2 this is the place for you. read more

Friendly staff. Very relaxed atmosphere. Pretty standard americana restaurant. Its the place to go for a cobb salad, and that's what I had. It was very delicious. read more

Millie's has a down home country style menu with a moderate variety of choices. I frequent Millie's for breakfast and occasionally for dinner. What to order for breakfast: my favorite dishes are the country scramble and the corn beef hash. The country scramble comes with three scrambled eggs over fresh buttermilk biscuits, covered in country gravy, and accompanied by either hash browns or country style potatoes. Both potatoes are very good. This is the only restaurant where I enjoy the flavorful country potatoes as much as the hash browns. The corn beef hash also has a great flavor, which comes with the same potato choices.What makes Millie's a strong breakfast destination is that you can get a pancake, biscuits and gravy, or a muffin instead of toast. I really like their blueberry muffins. They are always, big, fresh and flavorful. I also enjoy their walnut grained pancakes. They are very tasty, and in my opinion, even better than their "wagon wheel' pancakes. You need to order this as a combo, however,, with eggs, and choice of meat. Millie's also makes a pleasantly spicy chili omelette What not to order at Millie's. Over the holidays, I tried their honey ham omelette. I could not eat the ham since it appeared and tasted pre-digested. Their french toast is also a little dry, because I don't think they dip the toast in egg batter i have not tried too many dinner items, but their broccoli cheese and potato soups are very good, as is their fish and chips and turkey dinner. I also like their tuna sandwich. I have noticed something odd about their dinner meal pricing. Millie has two pages devoted to dinner entrees, and both pages' entrees have similar pricing. However, the choices designated as " comfort" choices, include soup or salad, yet the other side requires an additional $2.99 for soup or salad. I do not recall exactly what is on each side , but there seems no logic to this descrepancy. I do recall that the steak dinners require an additional $2.99, but the meatloaf includes soup and salad. This seems backwards in my opinion. On a final note, there is a young server named Danny who works in the evening. He is very welcoming and very cordial, but I feel he needs some advice on how to get the meal items out more quickly, and in a more coordinated fashion. , . read more

my sister and i had breakfast thurs food was nice and hot! asked the waitress to zap it in microwave before it came to my table i never eat breakfast out hate cold food nice pleasant very efficient waitress mexican gal super sweet. read more

Went with a large group, had a nice dinner but on the way out had a horrible encounter with the manager, Corinne, who is obviously not trained in how to speak to customers. She speaks in a demeaning tone and doesn't care about a customer's feelings. I say spend your money at Norm's, Denny's, Carrows, Bailey's, Marie Callendars, Peppertree which all have awesome teams and managers who know how to treat customers. read more

We were there for lunch. After driving around Downtown Covina and realizing most of the restaurants were closed, we ended up at Millies. The place was packed, but we got one of the last booths. The food was decent, usual American fare with huge portions. My daughter and I are light eaters so I told the waitress we were going to split the mac n cheese entree. When our food came out, she presented me with a mac and cheese plate, then she gave my daughter a mac and cheese plate. I said, "I'm sorry, I only ordered one." The waitress said, "Oh that is one order. You said you wanted to split the order so we split it for you." Wow, that never happens. Usually, in other places, they just give me an extra plate/bowl. .And even though the order was split, we both couldn't finish our portion. The only reason why I took off one star was, towards the end of our meal, our waitress was no where to be found. No. Where. We wanted some to go boxes, and our check. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Finally, I had to ask another waitress if she can flag down our waitress. She was otherwise very pleasant. Maybe she left on a break. I dunno. read more
