Kids pancakes, French toast, blueberry muffin with eggs and hash towns.
Wendy T.

Always good! Great green chile. Perfect for breakfast or lunch. Service is usually attentive. Lots of regulars, so fun to watch all the interactions. Interior is solid diner and historical.

Tommy P.

Food was fine, if not in any way great tasting (green chile, eggs, toast, hash browns and a chicken fried steak), generously portioned or all that inexpensive. Not really how I remember Milly's from the old location. Service was pretty good, actually. And ambiance was what one would expect of a restaurant that caters to a diverse if regular-leaning crowd in Albuquerque. It's fine - but I won't be rushing back as I can think of three easily superior options in this area of the market.

My first visit to this establishment occurred on 08/29/2025. I had fasting blood work done to check my cholesterol and headed over. Anybody else out there like me? After your fasting bloodwork is drawn you splurge? Ha ha. Great parking available, parking lot pretty full indicating the popularity. To me this is diner style; good menu, lots of daily specials. Comfortable decor with good natural light. Friendly and cheerful staff. I had steak and eggs, with hash browns and sourdough toast and a large orange juice. The steak was cooked exactly to my requested medium rare, was tender and tasty. Eggs were scrambled spot on, and the hash browns were just right. Prices are excellent. As I was paying I noticed several pieces of pie in the display case. Another reason to return!

Carne adovada b'fast burrito - delicious!

Milly's is not in our 'hood, but it is back on our Saturday B'fast rotation....tasty chile, reasonable prices, and excellent service brought us back into the fold. Fabulous Crystal is the Saturday opener. She treated us like "regulars" on our second monthly visit, and it's obvious that she takes care of dozens of folks. We'll keep coming to enjoy Crystal's kind efficiency and the delicious and lovingly prepared breakfast dishes. Relaxed local diner vibe....Milly's rocks!

Veggie sandwich and fries
Angie K.

Yum! I had heard great things about this place but hadn't had a chance to try it yet. They do have a very cute patio but it was way way too hot out to really check it out. Maybe next time! I had the veggie sandwich and the fries and the sandwich was great and the fries really hit the spot. It's funny because the parking lot was packed but inside wasn't terrible, plenty of street parking though, so not too bad as far as finding a spot in general. I also had a coffee and our server was great about making sure we had our refills and things as we needed them. This was a great place to have lunch with friends. The menu is huge, they serve breakfast and lunch all day - as they told me, if it's on the menu doesn't matter what time it is, you can have it. I will have to go back to try more things. Lots of sandwiches, more traditional breakfast like omelettes and such and then of course NM breakfasts. We did seem to miss the breakfast rush on the weekend which seemed to be just ending when we arrived.

WTF!!!

Well folks, at the end of my meal came a piece of plastic from my enchiladas. I got up and went to the kitchen counter to show the cooks. After speaking to them the host noticed what I was doing, and I showed her and the customers she was talking to. She called my waitress, and she apologized and said she would tell the cooks. I said I already had. My meal was free but I gave her a $20 tip, and wished her a Happy Mother's Day. My last visit there they served me left over sausage from the AM. I was there after 2 PM. I can now kiss that place good-bye.

Best of all the Milly's! Freshly made when ordered, super delicious. The Greek salad with gyro meat is phenomenal. And I love the homemade dressing! We tried the chili cheese fries, and they were- amazing. Fresh from the frier and then smothered in yummy green chili (we picked green, red or Xmas was also an option). The ladies serving were busy! I don't think I saw any of them pause for a second (hope y'all are ok!) I absolutely will make the trip to go to this location over the others. It's just that much better!

Inside millys

Milly's breakfast and lunch is has a variety of breakfast offerings. My review is only of the Benedicts, nothing else. I want to let you know that I have a "top ten" list for Benedicts. #1 being the best and #10 not as good. I found Millys did make my top ten. They have a 4 and 5 star review in all categories . My rating is based on 3 weights : 70% = taste 20% = presentation 10% = price #1 - taste: They use Canadian bacon . I asked for soft poached eggs and was presented with soft to medium. The Hollandaise sauce was made from scratch in house, had a very pleasing, distinctive flavor and taste. The reason I review Eggs Benedict is because of the difference in the flavor of the Hollandaise sauce. It comes with breakfast potatoes and a fruit cup but I opt for their shredded hash browns. #2 -presentation : The presentation was good. #3-price: $12.29 is on the low side for Bennys with hash browns. Coffee for $3.29 a cup. It is hard to insert a new Benny into my top ten but because of the flavor this one was came in at #8. To see why I did this I suggest you try it for yourself.

Bacon Swiss avocado burger with no bun, fries. The fries were coated in something that was probably wheat flour.
Tracy W.

When I arrived, I think the breakfast rush was just ending - the parking lot was full and the were only a couple empty tables. I still found a table right away. I ordered a burger with bacon, Swiss and avocado without a bun. The burger was really good, I would definitely order it again. I should have asked about the fries before ordering, but I didn't, and they were coated in something that was probably flour. Gluten free folks, beware! The were many other side choices and next time I'd choose differently. Service was friendly and as attentive as they could be in a full restaurant. By the time we finished it was settling down a bit. The little restroom was clean and stocked.

Gyro with a Greek salad. Yum!
Lee Ann R.

In my ongoing quest to find good lunch spots near my workplace, my husband and I visited Milly's on Candelaria. It's a busy spot, but we were able to find a table right away. I ordered gyros without onions and a Greek salad, and my husband had the Milly Philly with a side of potato salad. Mine was delicious - a nice soft pita filled with delicious gyro meat and tomato slices, topped with tasty tzatziki. The salad had crisp lettuce, tomato, feta, Kalamata olives, and pepperoncini. I appreciated that the dressing was served on the side so I could add what I wanted. Dh's sandwich was very good; I didn't try the potato salad, but I enjoyed my sandwich bite. Our server was friendly and efficient and helped us get in and out of the restaurant promptly. If you're in the area and looking for a good lunch place, Milly's is an excellent choice.

Anna D.

This is an adequate breakfast restaurant. We went to the candelabra location since it's has more parking room compared to the one in Jefferson that barely has any parking space. We orders burritos to go and I would say I was disappointed in the quality of the burrito. Nonetheless the green Chile salsa that accompanied the burrito was above average than any breakfast joint that I have encountered in this town. I will be returning to savor more dishes with this green Chile sauce. Prices are average. Customer service can definitely do some brushing up. The ambiance overall felt like it was missing a joyful atmosphere overall.

I got the SW special skillet
Jean C.

I was so excited to try this place. Sadly I left underwhelmed. When you walk in its confusing. There's no sign that says seat yourself but since there's no hostess that's what I did. I drew the short straw on waitresses. She took an order from a 4 top next to me then came and took my order for the SW skillet. I was alone. The 4 top food came out really fast so I figured mine would be out quickly. 20 minutes later I finally got the waitresses' attention to ask where my food was. She brought it soon after and blamed the kitchen. I got the home fries and the potatoes weren't seasoned at all. There were pieces of green pepper as well which was not listed on the menu. I would've had the hash browns instead. The eggs were cooked perfectly over easy and the sausage was really good. There was no taste or heat to the green chile. But over all there was no wow factor. The manager Alden (?) came over and asked how everything was. I gave honest feedback. Waitress inattentive. Food took forever to get and tasteless. Green peppers in home fries (apparently that's how home fries come) and also when I checked in on Yelp there was a free cookie offer and she didn't bring me that. They were out of cookies so he sub'd a brownie and he compd me a piece of pecan pie. Very kind of him. He did not offer to comp my meal nor did I expect it. He listened to my feedback and responded well. I still over tipped the waitress even though our total interaction time was less than 3 minutes. I saw other waitresses engaging with their tables so that's a good sign. Total with tip was under $18. Not a huge loss. Will I go back? Doubtful. There are too many other places I can get tastier food and consistent customer service.

I wish they had a better estimation system because it left us feeling underwhelmed. Being HANGRY with two young kids is not fun. The food: Kid's pancakes They were just okay. Nothing special. My 5 year old son ate the fruit (a piece of strawberry and a grape cut in halves) and bacon. Only a few of the pancakes were eaten. I tasted it myself and didn't care for it. Kid's waffles These were a winner!! The waffles were fluffy and yummy! We asked for fruit instead of the eggs since my daughter doesn't like eggs. I can confirm that these were legit waffles, because what kind of a parent would I be if I didn't do a food quality test? Crab cake benedict This was the highlight of the entire family order!! My husband is a super picky eater. With that said, this dish did not disappoint. Was it worth waiting 80 minutes for? Probably not. Would it have been worth waiting 40 minutes for? Absolutely! The eggs were cooked to perfection! The crab cake was plentiful and full of delicious flavor. The potatoes were the weak link on the plate. They could have used more seasoning. Bacon Avocado Scramble It was average without the green chili sauce. Once I added that delicious sauce, it saved the meal. I was already hungry and disgruntled from having to wait so long that my first bite without the sauce made me immediately regret sticking out the long wait. Once that sauce was added, it made me feel less jaded. The potatoes could have used more flavor. Unsweetened peach tea Great flavor! The peach didn't have an overly artificial taste. The tea strength was perfect. Coffee Excellent bold flavor. Not overpoweringly strong. Just right. The service: The service was good given how busy it was. The waitress was friendly and attentive. Refills were offered. Plates were cleared promptly. We didn't feel rushed. Overall experience: It was a good dining experience. It wasn't worth waiting 80 minutes. We would have picked a different restaurant if they had been more accurate and transparent about the wait time. I would say the food is slightly above average, but definitely not one of those places where people should waste an hour and a half of their day waiting for. If we are in the area again, we MIGHT give it another shot. Added note: The 4 seater table felt super crowded due to all of the items on the center of the table. There was a flower vase, a basket of sugars, a bowl of creamer, a bottle of salsa, salt and pepper shakers, a basket of jelly, and a little advertisement stand. With the pitcher of water and the coffee pot added to the mix, , it made it uncomfortable and claustrophobic.

It has a modern, bright, aesthetic vibe with marble-style tables, clean decor, and a great atmosphere to sit and hang out. Visually, it checks all the boxes for a trendy brunch spot. The staff were very kind and went out of their way to be helpful and attentive to all guests. Unfortunately, the food and value simply don't match the ambiance. We ordered two straightforward breakfast plates and iced coffees, and the bill came out to around $40--which feels way too expensive for what actually ends up on your plate. The first dish was a basic breakfast sandwich on an English muffin served with a small side ramekin of kale salad. While the presentation was neat, the sandwich itself was fairly standard and underwhelming for the price tag. The second plate was a traditional breakfast layout featuring scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, jam, and the same small kale side. The eggs were cooked fine and the bacon was crisp, but there was nothing unique or memorable about the flavors to justify charging high-end prices for staple breakfast ingredients.  All in all, while the aesthetic and atmosphere are definitely inviting, paying $40 for two plain breakfast plates leaves a sour taste. If you're looking for an impressive food experience to match the high price point, you might end up

While the wait to order and get a table was lengthy, it was absolutely worth it! We ordered the huevos rancheros and blue corn lemon pancakes, and both were fantastic. The huevos rancheros featured traditional New Mexico red chile alongside a delicious tomatillo salsa, offering a great combination of flavors. The blue corn lemon pancakes were equally impressive, topped with the most amazing lemon curd, whipped cream, and fresh fruit. For drinks, we had a honey latte and a double espresso, both of which were strong, flavorful, and well worth ordering. The place is a bit cozy, but not too cramped. However, if you're wanting someplace more private, look elsewhere. Despite the long wait, the friendly welcome and outstanding food made this a great experience.

The person who…read moreanswered was incredibly helpful and patiently explained that only the name had changed, which I appreciated. For our meal, we ordered two Chicken & Waffles plates, a Blue Corn Lavender Waffle, and a kids' plate. The Chicken & Waffles were the highlight of the meal, offering a satisfying balance of sweet and savory flavors. The Blue Corn Lavender Waffle was a unique touch and a fun way to try something distinctly New Mexican. Neither my wife nor I cared for the drip coffee, so we asked a staff member if we could swap it out for double espressos. They were happy to accommodate us, and the espresso was a significant improvement. The service was friendly, and the staff made a positive first impression from the phone call all the way through our visit. For our family, the total came to about $80, which felt a little steep. We ended up eating inside since the patio tables were either occupied or unavailable (due to a sleeping homeless person). The restaurant is housed in a renovated older home, and they've done a nice job making the most of the space. One of my favorite touches was the collection of retro waffle makers displayed along the walls, which added a fun, nostalgic charm to the atmosphere.

The blue corn is just a tinge sweet so was an interesting mix. The waffle is a decent size but is super filling and dense. I'll have to try some sweet waffles or some different waffle bases next time! That said there are lots of gluten free options as well, so if that's for you, then don't hesitate to come check it out you won't be disappointed. There is indoor and outdoor seating, though in general the place is small-ish and can get crowded during busy times. Parking is also a bit of an adventure, but so is anywhere in that area.
