I am often fascinated by historical buildings, especially if they have a historical restaurant like an old saloon. Hence, my friend and I stopped by Gold Coin Saloon & Millie's for food. Despite the historical nature of the building, I was disappointed to see that the interior looked neglected and dated. Barring the interior decor, this restaurant provides just an average experience with nothing remarkable (good or bad) to write home about. Upon entering, we were immediately seated. Our server came by shortly to take our orders, and we received our food within a very reasonable time-frame. However, none of this was impressive considering the fact that the restaurant was mostly empty. The food itself was equally unimpressive. It wasn't exceedingly bad or exceedingly good; it was on par with something I could make at home. Overall, if you're in the area, it wouldn't hurt to drop by. However, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. read more

Very good value for qualify food at this casino restaurant. Service can be slow if you have an opera to catch like I did. The $18 prime rib was excellent, I also added a side of fried shrimp and soup of the day (spicy sausage and red bell pepper) -- both delightfully delicious. Attention arts travelers and opera fans: Central City, Colorado is one of America's best kept opera secrets! The 550-seat Victorian opera house in town is not only a historic landmark, but also an acoustical marvel. There is not a bad seat in the house. read more

Food Decent omelette, there was nothing extravagant about it or underwhelming. They did put a lot of cheese on top and melted it together seemingly but overall it was straight forward. My biscuit had gravy in it, although I prefer them dry so I can add jelly. The gravy was decent and I still added some jelly. Price point wasn't bad either. Service When I went, there were only 5 people there total so the waiter could make decent rotations. I was asked for a refill maybe twice in the time I was there. Ambiance This place is down town and it's an old down town. The actual restaurant is on the top floor of a casino. It really gives an old saloon feel, like cowboys and the wild west. Overall decent place, check it out if you're in the area. read more

Millie's Restaurant is a little hidden gem tucked upstairs of the Main Street Casino. It is like stepping into your grandma's parlor! The food is consistently great and served promptly. Even though there were only two servers working, we were seated and taken care if promptly. The staff are always friendly. I recommend the burgers and fish/chips. read more

Nothing too special about Milles except we were the only ones eating there. The pancakes were a bit rubbery, but the eggs were good. Deep Fried French toast was a little too greasy, but potatoes were hit. A mixed bag here. read more

Let Millie's Restaurant take you back in time. Located in historic Central CO where they don't have a gas station to their name according to the store owner across the street. Population of 700. There are 14 restaurants in town and Millie's is one of them. Located inside the second level of Easy Street Casino. The town of Central is 135 years old. They have six casinos that are open 24 hours. Back in the 1860s-1870s they were the richest mining city in CO. Central City rivaled Denver as the territory's cultural capital. ... In 1990 Colorado voters approved an amendment allowing the towns to have casinos. ( Blackhawk and Central). We had a very tasty simple breakfast in relative quiet but on our way out it was the mad rush for the late sleepers . I'd love to try their lunch and dinner soon! We had the ff: 3. Gamblers Special 4. Bonanza Burrito wrapped in a garlic flour tortilla . read more

Breakfast in the historic building is a must! $10 for a giant breakfast burrito smothered in green chili in a mountain town is unheard of, not to mention it's delicious. The decor is vintage as expected. Central city will forever be better than Blackhawk. Leave the big casinos for the tourists. Locals go to Central City read more

Very good is my experience. Came for breakfast and ordered the Gamblers special. Best deal on the menu and plenty of food. Everything else is around $10 or so. Cooks and wait staff are a bit thin right now, so plan on the extra 10-15 minutes for your meal to arrive. The place is clean and I could see each table and condiment being sanitized prior to new guests arriving. Overall, in Central City this is one of the few places to eat right now. Come and enjoy. You won't be disappointed. P.S. Generously tip the wait staff and say thank you. Heck, they showed up for work to serve you. A rarity these days. read more

Staying in Black Hawk and we were in need of brunch. This place is a hidden gem and it hit the spot. We were the only people eating in the restaurant which had an odd old feeling to it. Our waitress was very nice and since we were her only customers very attentive. There were four of us present and we each order a few items and everything came out good. I especially liked my deep-fried french toast. The prices were more than reasonable, our entire meal was about $25. I would def be returning here next time I am in the area. read more

Let me start by saying I stopped in to break my 21 hour fast, so I was fairly hungry. I had the steak and eggs, enjoyed it tremendously. The service was top shelf, thank you Mikey! Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere is very rustic and charming. It's a great place to get away from the casino noise and enjoy the peacefulness with the one you love. read more

Central city and Blackhawks best choice for food. This restaurant has an amazing friendly staff and Chef Jessica is full of culinarily talent! Her ability to combine flavors, spices , and ingredients is spot on. Her passion for cooking is really apparent in her soups. We have never been disappointed with her soups. Each time it has been a delicious Chef Jessica original! Prices are very reasonable and we highly recommend this place if you are in the area Thursday through Sundays 5 stars!!! read more

Millie's Restaurant - New American Near Me - Central City, Colorado

Quite possibly the worst dining experience ever. If you look at the pictures you'll see a mostly empty dining area. Thats because it is empty. Empty and quiet. The theme is a little jarring but would probably be better received if it had even the slightest bit of effort applied. The service was off. New waitress messed up a couple items and seemed to have a bit of a meltdown after. So much so another waitress had to takeover. The wait was ridiculous. We got there around 10:30 and then didn't get out of there till noon. The food was meh. All in all I would never recommend it to anyone and I honestly felt duped by all the positive reviews. read more

Great breakfast menu. Nice and spaced out dinning area. Very clean. Fast and very nice staff. read more

I had the miners mazing melt, husband had the chicken fried steak. Both were good. Atmosphere was quiet and good music, but it did get busy and there was only one waitress/hostess, so service was a little slow. My food was decent, hot, and good portion, same with my husband's. Was nothing super special but good food and portion for the price. Decent place for lunch. read more

Nice people serving nice food. We had the prime rib dinner and it was good. The waitress was very nice even while they were really busy.

This was actually inside Easy Street and was a wonderful find. We felt like we were being invited into someone's home for dinner and the wait staff were so friendly. The meals were reasonably priced and well portioned. Make sure you save room for the crème brûlée cheesecake. read more

The Green Chile Cheese Fries are great. My wife's fried chicken tasted old and unappetizing. My prime rib was just fair and over cooked. Might return for the fries only! This review was for Millie's the restaurant only. Not the saloon which was way better. read more

The casino had a sign that says 21+ only. We have a 7 year old and we went into ask if she was allowed to go in to eat at the restaurant. The restaurant is upstairs. We were seated right away. The timing to get food was quick. Other people were having to wait longer to be seated. I had the country fried steak and it was very delicious. My friend had the burger and that was good too. My daughter had the chicken strips and that was good too. I visited this place years ago and I'm happy that I got find it again. read more

Really great lunch place. Prime rib was delicious and a very large portion. Chicken fried steak was okay. The atmosphere feels nostalgic, like you were transported to the days of the Wild West.

Millie's is a blast from the past! Restaurant is upstairs from the casino. Went there twice for breakfast. For less than $20 total we had the Miners breakfast, two eggs, bacon or sausage, hash browns, toast, milk and coffee. Service is a little slow because of lack of staff but our server was a great lady and able to give us some history about the casino area. We returned to try their $13.99 prime rib dinner but left empty handed. We got there at 8:00 and given a pager with a "30 minute wait". We went downstairs and had a drink at the bar. About 8:30 we went back up and were told the kitchen was only serving take out at this time per the general managers instruction. So we left disappointed and hungry! But, all in all a great hidden jewel! read more

I have been to Millie's twice now and it was delicious both times. Great value for your money, fast, and nice staff.

The food is so nasty and stale. The wings weren't cooked all the way, coleslaw almost made me puke. The vibe in the restaurant is really creepy and the service was sub par. read more

I really wanted to eat here, but unfortunately, the servers were so rude about seating us that we walked out. The place had maybe 3 tables seated and we were told multiple times to "wait a minute." My mother expressed that we were on a time limit, and the waiter snapped "I understand, I will be a minute." with an incredibly rude tone and menacing demeanor. Disappointing! I guess I know why they weren't busy. read more

Parents and I picked this place because we could walk there from Century Casino. Service was friendly yet we were one of only 2 tables in the whole place. There was a snowstorm so we assumed that was the reason. My country fried steak was fine. My mom's prime rib was not good. Tough, old, and tons of grizzle. But the boneless pork ribs were absolutely terrible. They actually acknowledged the poor product and removed it from our bill so props to proper dinner etiquette. But in my opinion it is 3 stars below Mid City Grill and costs the same or higher. It's in awesome old antique type parlor room and the Saloon downstairs is pretty awesome. Just skip the food... read more

Breakfast: Not sure how anyone rates this place over a 2 unless the rating is based on price alone; you get what you pay for - it was cheap. Atmosphere reminded me of cheesy wax museum. Food lacked taste. French Toast was hard and cold. Eggs were bland. Sausage was like cardboard. When we go back to Blackhawk we'll go to Idaho Springs for Breakfast which has better options. read more

The atmosphere just reminds you how cheesy trinkets can just make a place look trashy. The food prices are a little pricey, but at least the serving sizes make up for it. I tried the burrito, which comes with every burrito topping (guac, sour cream, green chili sauce, tomatoes, lettuce) on top, with a flour tortilla wrapping the meat. As service goes, we ended up with the slower waitress. For example, she took 10 minutes after dropping off the check to come back and pick up the money/credit cards -- and then took another 10 minutes just to return with the receipts. read more

Millie's Restaurant - Get the fried chicken you won't regret it - New American Near Me - Central City, Colorado

What a pleasant surprise this was. Went there for lunch on our way to Hidee Gold Mine. There were only 3 other diners there when we arrived. (We thought they were casino employees.) Waitress put two tables together for us near a window. We wondered that with the lack of patrons the food would not be good. My plain hamburger was fantastic! It was juicy and flavorful. The same for my husband's patty melt. The rest of our party ordered the chicken strips from the appetizer menu. They were perfectly cooked! 5 people, lunch, a couple of beers, tip, all for under $65. I think that was a bargain. One note, we weren't sure where to enter with a child, but found the main entrance into the bar and then we were directed to the stairs leading to the second floor where the restaurant is located. read more

Such a cool little bar/casino! You have to make this a place to stop on your visit through Central City! The drinks are cheap (compared to Chicago) and really good! We loved chilling on the old furniture in the corner and was amused to see a phone booth. The old-time swinging saloon doors toward the front of the bar gave way to a fun photo op. We'd definitely be back with all of our friends! read more
