I have not been here for years and I can say that the food was so good. Everything was delicious the country potatoes were perfectly seasoned and the prices haven't changed at all. I will be back I just wish I lived closer. Staff was always there to see if you needed anything else like coffee or something else. I had asked for Tabasco but they recommended their home made salsa and it was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant read more

The food was plentiful and the next time I go, I will order the fried chicken. It looked amazing. Service was nice. read more

Quaint atmosphere, delightful service (thank you Ana!) and a classic diner experience that makes you feel at home! Millie's is a cute classic diner with ample parking right off the corner of Balboa and Vanowen. Its modest outside and faded sign hides a vibrant and bustling interior this Sunday morning when we came by. We were quickly seated in a booth and wow! The menu is huge. So many pages had me feeling like I had not adequately studied for an exam. My wife is in love with corn beef hash--if it is available she will be ordering it. She acquired a table pancake as part of her CBH order, and I at Ana's recommendation got the chilaquiles, which were very good! They had the right mix of tortillas, beans, egg, and not too saucy. She brought some "spicy" salsa with a bit of a kick--not enough for me but enough for my wife--next time I want some REAL spice, Ana!! :) As I am rather large and was rather hungry, I ordered an additional two scrambled eggs to add to the chilaquiles so if that's you consider adding eggs to the initial order. It was a lot of food, make no mistake. The plates on the first page are certainly ample. The atmosphere is cute. Lots of Knick knacks and pictures on the wall, kids from a baseball team running around, and plenty of people who had retired before you were born shuffling about and opening the blinds to see the menu better. We were very well taken care of. I would say the food is 3.5-4 stars, definitely solid. But the service really puts it up to 5 stars, Ana took the time to meet us and I know she expects us back soon! read more

Great Service, tasty food and reasonable prices. I will return as soon as possible. Also, nice to have easy parking.

So glad I stopped in for lunch! Might be the best Turkey Avocado Melt with vegan cheese I've ever had. Potato salad was good too. Nice and cool on this hot hot day. read more

The brunch burger was delicious and seasoned well. The fried egg was cooked perfectly - nice and yolky and the onion ring had a perfect crispy crunch. Fries were plentiful but I would have preferred them to be crunchier. I was only able to eat half of my meal and it was just as yummy later that day. Cozy restaurant with lots of booths. I love that they serve their drinks in large mason jars- I didn't need a refill and the waitress gave me a to-go cup which was really nice. read more

Dear Millie's, I was rooting for you! My party was all rooting for you!!! I've seen this place for years but never stopped by. I've been curious and today was the day. Our server was great. Food lacked flavor and the pancake syrup was flavorless, cheap and runny. My sausage links were soggy and room temperature. My husband enjoyed the freshly squeezed orange juice. Even though the service was great, and prices were reasonable, the food did not do it for me. Don't think I'll ever come back. Sorry Millie's. read more

My wife and I came here for Sunday brunch, and the food was prepared like a comforting, home cooked meal. The servers and other staff were kind and thoughtful, which made our dining experience more enjoyable. The restaurant was filled with families and other guests enjoying good food and good conversation, and the noise level was perfect. We are grateful to have such a welcoming, down to earth restaurant in our community. read more

I am a Real Estate company manager, I met my mobile Notary for documents signing for the company. I figured Mllis is quite and tranquil, suitable for our meeting. I figured a cold ICED TEA, and perhaps a quick bit. Sat out in the patio, and we were greeted by this older female yelling if we would want to order anything, I said just an ICED TEA and water. She insisted asking if I was going to order food, I felt she would actually wanted to have a confrontation. Not pleasant at all. Its is a shame because I live in the area, not my first time to this cafe, to be insulted in this manner, it is not acceptable. I would be glad to hear from management. Coming from a businessman, this type of attitude is un acceptable. I have always brought my kids and family here, this is the last time for me. There is plenty of paces where you can be treated accordingly, not special just normal. What a shame, she even mention. THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC PLACE, I kindly said. But you will be getting a tip for your services, she replied I don't care about thet tip. She claimed to be the owner when I asked for her manager. Bottom line is very disrespectful. read more

Best breakfast in the Valley. The service impeccable. Not to mention this is a family own business, own by women. Support local owned businesses.

It's a diner not Nobu.... I can't imagine why this place doesn't rack up at LEAST four stars for every review. The service is amazing - nonstop, employees running around to make sure your coffee is topped, you have enough napkins, you have the right sauces The kitchen actually cooked the food the way I asked, which I honestly didn't expect, I expect most diners to be in a rush and do the best they can, which is also done in most nice restaurants in LA Food actually tasted good and wasn't overly oily or salty Overall, huge parking lot, very reasonable prices, good variety in menu, great service, cozy ambiance If I lived nearby I would be here at least once a week read more

It's been years since I was last here for a meal. The beginning of the week and pretty lazy trying to find somewhere to eat. Randomly came across something about Milles and the choice was made. It's still pretty much the same as I remembered it. Your classic homely dinner vibe. As it was still pretty early, it wasn't that busy. Menu did seem to have quite more choices this time. Food wise, it's your typical diner meal. The fried chicken meal was ok, served with two choices side and a side of cornbread. Also, they did have a few soup choices on hand which is good. Overall, it was good. Same feel as the last time I was there. read more

Millie's Restaurant & Bakery - Frosted French Toast with bananas, nuts, and whipped cream - Bakeries Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Millie's is an old-school diner/coffee shop offering traditional fare. It's clean and nicely kept, the wait staff is friendly, and the cooks move swiftly, putting the food out at quite a clip. You get the sense they have spent a good many years feeding breakfast and lunch to people with limited time. They have all the usual breakfast options, including some very creative omelets and specialty items like chicken fried steak, a chorizo egg bowl, and even a breakfast plate built around a fresh baked cinnamon roll. I ordered a simple dish of bacon & eggs with a toasted English muffin. The eggs were cooked exactly as I'd asked, but my crispy bacon was clearly made crispy in the deep fryer. As I wasn't in a rush, I'd have much preferred the bacon (always par cooked in a diner such as this) had been brought up to temp and texture on the grill. By contrast, my English muffin was under done, barely toasted. I had opted for no potatoes, so I can't speak to their flavor (though they looked good on plates passing by me) -- and to their credit, I was offered several side options instead of potatoes (I just wasn't wanting any today). Millie's will give you a good, breakfast at a reasonable price with quick and friendly service, but they could improve their execution a tad, especially when it's not very busy (as was the case today). read more

Fantastic experience eating breakfast at the one and only Millie's. On the road north clear of the LA traffic we stopped for breakfast at this old style diner. The menu wasn't too special, but the product was very good and the service was exceptional. Our arrival at brunchyime meant that we missed any breakfast rush. I ordered a nice egg and kielbasa sausage plate with country potatoes and grilled onions and peppers. It was a good start to the day. The eggs were great, the sausage and grilled papers mixed well with the potatoes. The coffee was hot and bottomless. The kids ate of the kids' menu. They both opted for the build your own breakfast that came with eggs (cooked to their choice), pancakes, and hash. Nothing was left on their plates either... no complaints there. Service was fantastic. We didn't have to wait for a seat, and after we were seated we were doted upon for our drinks and our orders. They had some daily specials posted on a sandwich board at the front, but we were there ready for breakfast to get us ready for the trip farther north. It was a great experience at Millies. read more

Always good service, and I often wonder how they got my Mom's cooking, or so close. 50's simplicity, fresh traditional food, and especially a wonderful Breakfast. I wish I lived closer, but then, I'd look like a blimp! Highly recommend. read more

The entire visit was a pleasant experience. We were greeted, sat, helped in a timely manner. The service was great. The thing i can't get over is that my meal was hot (temperature), I mean hot, the whole time i was eating it! They must heat the plates. I LOVE it! I was there for breakfast (veggie benedict). The coffee cups are NOT those dinky cups, the coffee (decaf) was good and hot also. I really enjoyed myself. Thank you Millies! read more

Millie's Restaurant & Bakery - I fucked this shit up - Bakeries Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Sad to say, but disappointing. I hadn't been there in many years and how things change. First, the service was fine but that was the only positive. The place is beat up, and just one server at 900am which tells you something, just no business. The coffee was lukewarm and bitter, the breakfast was average at best. The biscuit was awful and the potatoes soggy. And price wise, no bargain. Will not come back.. read more

Haven't been here in 6 years, met a friend here for lunch at 11:15 today. Around noon the place was packed. I got a southwest chicken salad. Chicken was tough and bland. Salad didn't seem very fresh but I was starving! My friend got breakfast and said it was pretty good. Service was decent. Place looks exactly the same. Prices are fair, but I remember the food being much better years ago. Parking was completely full by the time we left. read more

Breakfast with my blushing bride... we love old-school diners and Millie's qualifies quite nicely! Millie's is an older business and looks a bit like it has been lost in time. For us, that is a good thing. Awaiting us was a good old-fashioned greeting and service. The menus were a bit frayed and sticky but featured a lot of great options... for any meal one chooses to have. I tend to like rather traditional foods and in this case I made a significant exception. The concoction I had was actually fantastic. I have no idea why I dared to do different and quite happy that I did. Fried Chicken Benedict $14.99 Piled high in this order! Mashed potato, country gravy, grilled buttermilk biscuit, fried chicken breast, two eggs any style (we like runny yolks!), hollandaise sauce, diced bacon and green onion. The iced tea was both great tasting and fun since it is served in a big Mason jar. My blushing bride had a vegetable omelette, her regular, and was quite satisfied. From where we sat we could se the solitary cook in the kitch. He was working hard and putting out great food... and quickly. I'm looking forward to a return visit! read more
