Good food and nice staff it was a nice experience. We had stopped in I got sone fish tacos which tasted fresh and had a good sauce. The tortilla was nice and fluffy. It has a nice interior but is a very open space do it would be great during the summer. read more

Great spot for happy hour and great parking Vibes and food were perfect for a 4:30 catch up session with my friends! If you love spicy spicy then you need to get the spicy marg which has a good kick. The fully loaded nachos are amazing too! Tuna tartare is the perfect bite size. I have gone a few times and always had a great experience with the staff and the service. Food is solid and nothing bad about it. Love the outdoor seating as well. Great location and perfect spot in the summer for their ice cream window! read more

We were seated promptly and the ambiance is fun and family friendly. It was a lovely evening on the picnic table. It's much better outside- inside is way too loud. We ordered our favorite salad with grilled shrimp. It's small than it used to be. The mangos were still very hard. The dressing on the side isn't a good idea- better to order w dressing. Service was meh. We received our food before drinks and had to wait for a glass for the beer and had no silverware or napkins. read more

I dine at Millie's whenever I'm in the D.C. area, typically 8-10 times a year. I've always had a wonderful experience and the service is always excellent. Even when they're packed, the service remains as fast as can be reasonably expected. The atmosphere is exceptional, the food is amazing, and it's a great place to bring family and friends. read more

Spacious | Fun | Ice Cream | carrots Spacious - The restaurant is very spacious, featuring both outdoor and indoor areas. When the weather is nice, the indoor space opens all its windows and doors, seamlessly blending with the outdoor area. This setup creates a great atmosphere, especially on summer or fall days. Fun -The restaurant has a great atmosphere with a mix of students, professionals, and others enjoying a fun vibe. Ice Cream - Right next to the restaurant, there's a cute ice cream shop that has a great selection of hard ice cream and delicious milkshakes. It's the perfect spot to wrap up your night, whether you're on a date, hanging out with your kid, or just treating yourself to something sweet. They have all kinds of flavors, from classic vanilla to fun seasonal options, so there's something for everyone. Plus, the friendly staff and cozy seating make it a nice place to enjoy your treat and make some fun memories. Carrots - the absolute highlight of the meal was the glazed carrots. They are the ideal side or appetizer dornthr group. One of the best sides I've had in 2025. Pro tip - They do not have a military discount. Pro tip - they do not have a ton of parking. So budget another 5-10 minutes to your travel. read more

Millie's was a great restaurant! Even after happy hour, it was packed which is always a good sign. We started with a Froze while waiting for outdoor seating. They were cool and refreshing and probably the best Froze i've has in a while. The only downside was the heat and bugs , it would've been great if they had fans or some kind of bug repellent to make it more comfortable. Now, let's get into the food: We began with the chips and trio dip (guac, queso, and salsa) simple, fresh, and delicious. It was the perfect starter to snack on while we waited. The quesadilla had zucchini in it, which was a refreshing twist. It was flavorful, filling, and a great way to sneak in some veggies. My friend loved it!The elote was creamy and well-seasoned I could've done without the nuts or seeds on top, but I'd still order it again without it. The Rockfish was the star of the night crispy on the outside, perfectly flaky on the inside. It was served over jasmine rice that was green (maybe cilantro-based?) and absolutely delicious. 10/10! We ended dinner with some ice cream from the stand outside the restaurant. I got s'mores, and my friend had vanilla with Oreos. Both were tasty and a fun way to finish off the night. Our server was fantastic friendly and attentive. Overall, we had a great time and I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu! read more

Food was kind of bland, especially the crab fried rice. Didn't really get the umami taste or flavor. The dish just overall lacked the depth of flavor but I guess it's expected from a place that doesn't specialize in an Asian dish. The quesadillas were decent but nothing worth revisiting. They could get a bit greasy since the peppers, steaks and onions were all sautéed in oil and covered in melted cheese. Overall the quesadilla flavors didn't really meld together for an overall better taste. read more

I tried a variety of dishes including the lobster dinner, lobster roll, lobster spring roll, and the branzino, and unfortunately each one was just mediocre. None of the dishes stood out in terms of flavor or execution, which was disappointing given how appealing the menu sounded. The atmosphere is nice and the service was solid, but the food just didn't live up to the hype. With such a strong focus on seafood, I expected the lobster dishes especially to shine, but they fell flat. Overall, Millie's felt more like a spot for the vibe than for the food. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6qm7Bjc/ read more

We had a great meal at Millie's and I am so glad I finally got to try my friend's regular local spot. I had the trio of dips (that queso! ), potstickers, frose (omg!!!), chicken sandwich but grilled and topped things off with s'mores ice cream. Super cute atmosphere and the food is like an elevated Chilis/Fridays and a step below The Smith. read more

This was our first visit to Millie's. We stopped in for a very late lunch. My husband ordered the Cisco Po' Boy (very, very good) and I ordered the grilled lamb kabob (very good). The shrimp on the po'boy were very large and fresh and though the bun looked like it would be too much bread, it really was not. It was very light. The lamb in my kabob was not the most tender, but it was very flavorful. And the pita was good. We will definitely stop in again! read more

I did that they could take a big group reservation. We were 15 people and they were able to provide separate checks. Ryan was very efficient in taking our orders. I got the riptide, which was amazing and the potstickers. While I liked the sauce, it was a little overpowering. The meat was also cooked variably inside-my first potsticker had a little bit of pink and the last one I ate was a tad overcooked and tough. They were pork and shrimp, though I only tasted pork. Loved my drink and will come back for more! read more

A great energetic neighborhood vibe with a diverse menu, great service and yummy food! Marjorie was our server and she was wonderful. We had various tacos and sandwiches, plus the shrimp/oyster starter and biscuits with jam. Everything was wonderful -- very impressed with how perfectly cooked and chilled the shrimp were. Lots of thought goes into the sides too -- the bean salad and mixed rice that accompanied the mains were delish. Decor is charming. Staff were plentiful and attentive. Only wish is for salt and pepper on the table. The tacos could have used a bit, and we all like black pepper on our raw oysters. read more

It's an alright place! Sometimes the service is better than other times!!! Food quality is mediocre and service is not terrible! Overall the dishes we ordered were not something to hold your breath for, but if you are hungry and need to grab a bite,then why not give it a try. My food was kind of on a smaller plate, the avocado was placed on a small piece of toast!!! Was not like your expected avocado multigrain toast. More like a kids size! No joke Prices have gone up sizes went down lol We will make this restaurant our last option, if we had to go again. read more

Interesting menu and I've enjoyed most of the items I've ordered. I typically meet some friends who live nearby. One thing I will note though -- their clam chowder is probably in the top two I've had in the area (and I'm very fussy about chowder). Definitely order when you go. The outdoor space and breeziness is also a wonderful aspect. read more

I wonder why reviews are so low. We thoroughly enjoyed this place. I thought the lobster roll was yummy and refreshing -- you can get it hot or cold. Cole slaw was okay. The clam chowder was very tasty. Service was fine, we didn't have to make a reservation surprisingly but we were there in between lunch and dinner prime times. It was still pretty packed though. read more

Bar & restaurant with both indoor & outdoor seating, serving up a menu of classic American food & drinks I came here for dinner with a friend and the place was packed. Fortunately we were still able get in with just a 15 minute wait, but the space was still very loud Menu is primarily comprised of apps, salads, tacos, quesadillas, and entrees. Cocktail menu is pretty extensive. I got a "blueberry lemonade" (in quotations because of the addition of vodka) and a chicken quesadilla. It was all prepared very quickly, was a very generous portion, and was very tasty as well. Very friendly waiter Looks like they may have an ice cream window outside, but I didn't get a good enough look to say so definitely read more

I've been to Millie's many times. The food is always good. Also, in these expensive times, there are reasonable options for a restaurant with great ambience. I almost always order tacos at Millie's. This time it was steak tacos, made with flour tortillas, marinated steak, fries, aoli and lemon parsley. There was so much food I could only eat one taco and will eat the second one for lunch today. All of Millie's taco plates are in the $20-22 range. That's more than a casual taco place would charge but given the ambiance and portion size, I thought it was a deal. My husband ordered the rockfish and liked it a lot. For an appetizer we split the calamari. It was perfectly cooked. The coating excellent except that, to my taste, it was too salty. I really like salty things but this was just over the edge of too much salt. Millie's has house wine and the serving of white I drank seemed quite generous. Overall it was a great time. read more

Finally got myself to Millie's after thinking about it the entire summer. Was surprised to see the outside patio bumping after a day of rain. Thursday nights are still thirsty I guess. Looked like a great spot for the slightly older crowd to hit for some social drinks. Inside, there were a lot more families dining. It was a lot quieter and easy to have a conversation. Still, plenty of large tables for groups, and smaller tables for date night. My boyfriend got the clam chowder to start, and we split the fried zucchini. It was delicious! Lightly battered, perfectly crisp, very hot, and not very mushy! It retained its crunch through leisurely snacking. Loved that it wasn't heavily battered We each ordered quesadillas for dinner. They were very stuffed! We probably could have split one order. I got the shrimp option, and my boyfriend got the lobster. Shrimp quesadilla was great! Nice shrimp. Good flavor. Solid salsa. The lobster quesadilla had some nice chunks of lobster, but flavor wise was a not it for me. My rum punch- delicious. Will definitely be back to try more !! read more

Cool looking place near AU. Had high expectations. Subpar drinks at exorbitant prices. Small and without proper accessories but still with Manhattan prices. Food makes Applebees look gourmet. Scallop tacos has creamy slaw that made the whole dish slimy soggy and sweet instead of crisp. Chicken pot pie was a crime against pot as well as pie. Somebody was watching too many cooking shows. This was a terrible dish. And to make sure you remember just how much they disrespect you, they add 3% to their prices. Because you owe them 3% more that's why. Lol. Was the worst $150 I've spent on a dinner in a very long time. Suggest you go to McDonald's and use a $100 bill to light a spliff. You'll have a better meal for less money. In case you're not clear, NOT recommended. read more

I came here to watch the US Open. The atmosphere attracts sports fans and families inside and outside on the spacious patio. You can tell this is a big neighborhood spot. The bar area only has two TVs, so it was split between tennis and a football game. Millies made their own Honey Deuce drink that fans were getting at the US Open. I have no idea how it compares to the actual one, but it was very good, sweet, and pretty looking! Lots of seafood options to choose from on the menu. I decided to take mine in the form of a taco, the Esther Island. The scallops and rest of the filling were delicious. I could only finish the two tacos and had to box up the rice salad, which was also very good. There was a little bit of a delay in getting my food even though I ordered quickly. I don't know if there was some confusion amongst servers. Still worth the wait though! This is really ideal for a casual hangout spot with friends or family, but I can tell it can get pretty busy. Driving by it always looks popular! read more

Millie's - Busy on a Sunday night - Tacos Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Tried Milies for the first time recently! It can be hard to get a reservation here so definitely plan ahead! We wanted to sit outside, but for weeks out there were only options to sit inside. Not sure if this is on purpose or if they are truly booked, but when we showed up there was definitely outdoor availability. Our server was very sweet, and our food came out quickly! I love when a menu has a "mock tail" section and the group loved their Manhattan Berry and their Havana Twist. The frose was also a table fav! We started with some gigantic oysters, and almost the entire table ordered the cliff road salad. It was pretty good - you got a large portion of salmon on top, and the salad was huge, but it wasn't anything to write home about, it reminded me of a grocery store bagged salad a bit. My friend really enjoyed the crab fried rice, and the chili lime sauce on the side was delish! Overall, it was more of a vibe outside I wish I could go back and sit there. It reminded me of a beachy restaurant outside in the patio, inside kinda missed the mark. read more

While in the neighborhood, decided to head to Millies for a late lunch. Parking is limited but there was plenty of seating in the large eating area. Decided on the Salmon salad and fried Brussel sprouts. I have a shellfish allergy and My server Kelly came after my food was delivered to say, my food was cooked where shellfish was being prepared. Her honesty and integrity may have saved me from a hospital visit. She found me and alternative meal and even asked me if I needed an EPi pen. I will forever be a patron! Fyi... The ice cream was amazing! read more

Food is A+. Staff is especially awesome. I highly recommend Millie's. Great food and great staff makes for no surprises.

I'm afraid to write a wonderful review for this restaurant/bar because all you Yelpers will want to come check it out! Lol. I love love this restaurant! The food is top notch - the shrimp quesadilla was the best I've ever had! Next time I'm going to try the steak one - I heard it's quite popular! I also ordered the apple crisp for dessert and it sure had that homemade taste!! The service was excellent too. (I sat at the bar and would like to give a shout-out to Brad for his excellent service!) Come check this restaurant/bar out, but let's keep it our little secret!! read more

Had heard great things about this place and it seemed like a perfect midpoint between my Bethesda and my friend's Arlington home. It was a gorgeous day and we sat outside at a hightop table. Service started out slow and got slower. Our waiter (who didn't have a name tag and or introduce herself so I have no idea what her/their name is) took our drink, appetizer and main dish orders and literally "left the building," without saying goodbye. After we got our appetizers, we waited, waited and waited some more for our entrees. Others around us were eating, finishing their meals and leaving and we were still waiting to be served. After what seemed like an eternity (we arrived at 3 and it was 4:40) I asked a busboy for our waiter, and no one came. I caught the eye of nearby waiter Niki and when I asked for our wait person she shared that their shift had ended and that they were gone for the day. It was news to us and no one took over to help us when they left. So unacceptable. I asked for the manager, our meals mysteriously appeared and Duncan came over. Manager Duncan apologized profusely for the big lapse in service and offered to comp the food we had not received before we expressed concern. An interesting suggestion to cover what we were still waiting for. To make matters worse, my friend ordered a ginger sangria from the happy-hour menu from Duncan and when I asked for the same drink from Niki she told us that the ginger sangria was not actually being served yet. On the menu and not a real option. What? My friend was served the summer sangria assuming it was ginger. When we asked Duncan about the ginger one she ordered, he again apologized and said that he'd made a mistake--that it wasn't available. At this point we were truly perplexed. The swordfish kabob was tasty and the goddess sauce had a nice little kick. The duck lettuce wraps were not actually wraps as described on the menu but a salad w marinated duck pieces tossed in. Although flavorful, the duck meat was tough (overcooked). The shrimp mango salad was mediocre (the salad greens used were bitter and I could not taste the Asian dressing) the mahi mahi and the steak tacos were both dry. My friend and I will need to find another meeting spot. We were charged for the food and drink that had arrived before we complained. Maybe it was an off day. And I don't intend to retry to find out. read more

It's okay but really would suggest you go elsewhere if you can.

Pretty good! Food- shrimp salad, shrimp kebobs, zucchini, beef quesadilla all tasty. The three dips were also good, we did have mixed reviews of that salsa. It was both Smokey and maybe had mint- it was confusing but good? Drinks- FROSE was perfection, I just wish there was more of it in each glass. Hehe. Service-Katie and Lucy took great care of us. Always had refills on water and were attentive, friendly, and didn't rush our meal( as we took a while to order as me and my guest were chatting nonstop) Vibe- the outdoors space is terrific for nice weather. The mix of high tops and picnic bench tables. Super cute setup and love the additional takeout ice cream counter.

Having dined at the Nantucket location of Millie's, I had high hopes for its DC counterpart--they did not disappoint! Our server, Michelle, was pleasant, attentive, and knowledgeable about both the food and beverage menus. The food was delicious and the drinks were fabulous; the bartenders make a mean Cosmo. We were seated on the patio which was quaint and took me back to Nantucket! We will definitely be back. read more

Decided to come in for a visit based on a taco article I read in the Washingtonian. The decor is light and beachy, very fresh. The front patio area blends in with interior bar seating Aztec Revenge cocktail- boozy w/ an astringent kick. Probably not for everyone, but if you're a lover of manhattans or old fashioned, I'd give it a try. Spicy Margarita - Spicyyyyyyy. Love it- not very sweet at all. Scallop tacos - yummm. The blue cheese adds a refreshing kick. Coleslaw - pretty good, flavorful. The bartendar w/ green multicolored hair who loves dogs is a gem. Attentive and kind. read more

Food was passable, salsa was not edible, Tuna poké was not very good, guacamole was just mashed avocado, I found one red onion, no flavor, no spice, nor salt. Service was very good so we took care of our sever. But seriously, 1 frozé and one glass of Sauvignon Blanc, with three appetizers and a water melon salad that wasn't even chopped up and with tip it was $168. P.s., too many screaming kids, won't come back for a while and we live right behind the place. read more

I see this place when I drive by often. Ive always wanted to try them because it looked so inviting & like a good time. The patio is typically packed with people and at night there are pretty lights everywhere. I did read the reviews & still chose to go...probably my first mistake. Now one thing I can say is the food was good. I thoroughly enjoyed my nachos and rum punch but the service was not good. Flat out. Started with the host not greeting my partner & I when we walked in. Then we didn't receive menus, and after asking we waited about 15mins to get our order taken. The server seemed uninterested and busy with other tables. Maybe its because we cane for Happy Hr and they thought we weren't spending enough. I Dont want to assume its due to us being the only African Americans in the restaurant but everyone else got greeted with smiles and taken care of. All in all somewhere I don't have to visit again. Just left a bad taste in our mouths. read more
