I really enjoy going to Whataburger. The place has a relaxed and welcoming vibe, and the staff are usually friendly and helpful, which makes the whole experience even better. It's one of those spots you can rely on when you want something tasty without overthinking it. The food is consistently good, especially their burgers--they're fresh, flavorful, and satisfying every time. I also like that they offer a variety of options, so there's always something to fit your mood. Overall, it's a solid place that I keep coming back to, and I'd definitely recommend it to others. read more

Traveling to Alabama actually didn't know Milo"s was anything besides tea company! We grabbed a quick meal. First their fries are amazing with the seasoning salt! My daughter also loved the chicken strips. I love the idea of the cheeseburger but the sauce is a little too sweet for me. Still definitely plan to stop in and always grab a lemonade or tea which are always excellent. read more

I'm new to the area and have never been to a Milo's before. I only knew Milo's from their tea and lemonade sold in stores. I was stopping by with my son to get him a milkshake. Asia is the young lady that served us. In asking her for suggestions on milo's food, how it compares to other burger places, etc she gave me some great info and got me excited to try the food on return trips. Asia made this brief encounter a great one! read more

Milo's Hamburgers - From the drive thru - Burgers Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

I grew up on Milo's Hamburgers. It was a great place to have an untraditional burger! Unfortunately the meat has changed and it is horrible! I'm not sure why it was changed but it does not have the quality of 100% beef. It's has the taste and texture of overly processed meat. Everything else is good to go. But the one item that use to drive everyone in has changed! Please go back to a better quality of beef! read more

It was average food nothing exceptional about it. Sweet Tea was good. I'd rather go elsewhere

I generally support small businesses but it's always interesting to try local chains. Here was my experience with Milo's AMBIANCE: Parking: It has its own plaza so you shouldn't have any issues Seating: Room for about 40 people, all inside seating. Vibes: It's in Homewood, south of Birmingham. The spot itself is nothing too flashy, you're in a plaza with other shops - restaurant, gym, and eateries. It's a spacious spot, that takes pride in their food and history. Great for a quick bite or groups. They got a drive through too! FOOD: Cheeseburger (Recommend) A sizable burger, what I think stood out is the freshness of the beef and that secret bbq sauce they had. Add the onions and pickles and it brought a pleasantful kick. Crinkle Fries (Recommend) Lovely, a good crunch and pretty savory. Chicken Nuggets (Recommend) Good portion, well breaded, crunchy, and fresh! Sweet Tea (Recommend) A pleasantly sweet and refreshing drink to enjoy with a meal or individually. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! Friendly people and a quick order. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. Awesome! Good choices, reasonable prices, and delicious food. For a nice Alabama experience, this a good one. This might be similar to what Portillo's is to Chicago. TIPS: * One of their more original locations but check out their others! * Don't forget to add a sauce with it. read more

Milo's Hamburgers - Woot! - Burgers Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

As a Bham native, Milo's has been a staple since I was young. I love the thick cut crinkle fries, especially when they're fresh out the fryer and sprinkled with seasoned salt. I stick with a classic cheeseburger or a double if I'm really hungry. I hate onions so I always opt for extra pickles instead. I'm also a fan of their chicken tenders with boom boom sauce...yum! Some folks don't care for the Milo's sauce but it's a favorite for me. Along with mixing sweet tea and lemonade to create an arnold palmer. read more

Service was good and quick. The buns are good, but the burger itself and the seasonings are a no. The burger feels like overly processes mystery meat and is overly salty. The fries were also extremely salty. If you've ever had the crockpot/party meatballs with jelly and ketchup (if you know, you know) that's kind of what the burger tastes like. Not what I'm looking for in a burger, personally. read more

Restaurant was clean. Associates were professional and quick taking our orders. The food was delivered quickly and served hot. The burgers were good. read more

Milo's Hamburgers - Burgers Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

The staff was fantastic! Very friendly and offered us samples. Chicken and food was delicious. Go here before chilis.

I love stopping by for my favorite go to snack- a toasted cheese and sweet tea! The food is always good and service is so friendly! The only frequent problem with this location is it tends to be slow. It's worth it for the piping hot tenders but just be aware that it's not a quick trip! Use the app to gain points too! read more

Drive thru order missing a pie. Couldn't get attention of employees because they were all inside yucking it up! Finally got their attention and got awful attitude. They act like they'd rather spit on u than provide good service! Awful!!! read more

My wife had the double cheeseburger, which she enjoyed very much. I had the thick bacon cheeseburger. It was excellent. This was one of the best cheeseburgers I have had in Birmingham. Service was very good. This was our first time to visit Milo's, but it will not be the last! read more

Fast , friendly service. The food was very fresh and enjoyable. I only had a small fry and a small sweet tea ( with lemon). You can't go to milos without having these two items! This was my first time at this location and I had a great fast food experience from service to food! read more

Be sure to Download the app. They have some good deals they sent from time to time. When you first sign up they'll send you an offer for a free burger. They send out different treats just about every month. This location is one of the better locations to me. The burgers are always good, hot, and fresh! read more

Milo's Hamburgers - Cheeseburger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

06/30/2024, the Milo's Hamburgers, Wildwood, always has extremely good service, and the employees are is so very pleasant and professional. They remember us and make a us feel welcome. We ordered the Mega Meal, fries, and chicken tenders. We had the original Milo's sauce, and the original Milo's tea. We also ordered Milo's double cheeseburgers to go. Whenever we go to Milo's, we are thanked for being customers, and welcomed us back. Milo's is NOT like any other restaurant today. The food is amazing, and so is the service. Tinasha took our orders, and she was very nice. God bless! Mark N Tim Elders read more

Food was so fresh and hot omg. Very yummy! Can't wait to come back we are coming straight here! The tea is much better than the tea sold by the gallons in the stores! read more

When it comes to franchises in the state of Alabama, this is quite possibly the worst. Milo's "makes" the only fried chicken sandwich I've ever eaten that was worse than even Burger King and McDonald's. Think chicken that's dry as a bone with the worst batter you've ever tasted and the most pathetic bun the world has ever seen, but decent pickles. The chicken tenders are just as subpar, and the french fries aren't much better, horribly over-salted crinkle cuts with little firmness and possibly the worst spice concoction ever invented. Thankfully, the employees are incredibly friendly and the restaurant is clean. It's just the worst food I've eaten since I dared to walk into a Waffle House in 1999. read more

Being a Virginian I'd never even heard of Milo's so I gave it a try. It's not bad. The fries were well seasoned and are thick amd serrated ... like Zaxbys. The burger was sloppy - catchup spilling out and soaking through the wrapper but the food was hit and seemed fresh. It was also tasty. Less then a 5 guys but better than Wendy's. It's been 90 minutes and my stomach isn't in revolt so for fast food I'm not going to complain. I had their Boom-Boom sauce which was a home run. read more

I love Milo's, but this location may need an overhaul. Went through the drive thru a few months ago, but decided to give them a second chance. Drive thru took nearly 15 min, which I could overlook, however my cheese burger bun was SO soggy/mushy I gagged during the first 2 bites. I was able to consume about 60%. After that, before wrapping the remainder up and tossing it. It was soggy and very difficult to eat, texture wise. read more

Yummmmmm! A coworker turned me on to Milos chicken tenders and now when I think of chicken tenders these are the only ones that I want. The drive thru is fast, the food is fresh and hot and the employees are friendly. read more

Pulled into this new location and walked inside. The bathroom is spotless as expected in a new building. The staff was helpful and kind.found the Milo bowl too salty. I should have requested another burger combo instead of just throwing it away but it took away my hunger pains in 2 bites. read more

The only thing I hate about Milo's is the sadness I feel when my food is gone. This is my favorite location. I can tell the employees are genuinely happy and want to be there. The service is consistently fast and friendly, and the food is on-point no matter when you go. They're frequently cleaning the kitchen, the counter, and the dining area. Employees that take pride in their place of work and what they do... I LOVE that. I've been a Milo's fan since 1995 when they had one location in Eastwood. 25 years later the only thing that has changed is its success and continued growth! Okay, okay, and the fact that they now batter their own chicken, have more chicken options, more sauces, AND the most important thing... the famous Milo's sauce is self-serve. Finally, I can drown every bite in sauce and not have to constantly ask the employees for more. I always get the cheeseburger combo with sweet tea. The meat is fresh, never frozen, and tastes amazing. They put an extra piece of meat in the middle so the last bite is the best bite. Brilliant. The diced onions and pickles complement the burger well... and the SAUCE! Okay, here's the thing about the sauce. I need extra sauce in my cheeseburger, and on top, AND also dipped in more sauce prior to putting it into my face hole. I need the sauce on my fries and I need the sauce on my sauce. The sauce makes everything extra FIRE! The crinkle cut fries are SOOO good. Crispy on the outside, soft and potatoey on the inside, and sprinkled with orange crack powder. The burgers, fries, and sweet tea must contain crack because I can't stop craving this stuff. It actually hurts my feelings when I'm finish with my meal because I immediately miss the taste in my mouth. The sweet tea is legendary. I've been drinking it my whole life and it's sold in gallons at most stores across the U.S. I love being able to at least have a small taste of Milo's at home, even if it's only the Sweet Tea. For now. Hopefully, I'll see Milo's restaurants start popping up in other States in the future. Keep up the great work and I'll see you again tomorrow! read more

Milo's Hamburgers - My Usual: Cheeseburger Combo, Fries, and Sweet Tea - Burgers Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

I crave Milo's Hamburgers every time I approach Birmingham. This place got me through MANY meals and stressful college days years ago. Their burgers are AMAZING, loaded with what can be described as a BBQ-steak sauce known as their Milo's sauce. The cheeseburgers they're whipping up has grilled onions, cheese, pickles and Milo's sauce smothered on it, and I swear I eat my burger from here in record time because it's so good. I enjoy dunking my fries in that Milo's sauce too! Most of the folks working here are really nice. My latest visit allowed me the joy of a woman working the drive-thru from their covered awning above an entrance door, and it was evident she was not happy... But everyone else seemed to enjoy what they do and made the visit nice! The tea tasted a bit old, but my food was fantastic! Looking forward to next time! read more

We used to come here all the time pre-pandemic and it was always four stars for me. Yummy burgers, hot fries, great dipping sauces for the chicken fingers, and fantastic sweet tea....not too much to complain about. Today was our first time back since the pandemic hit. Employees were nice overall. The food was bad. Two stars bad. Edible but not something I would ever go back for. I don't know what happened but other than the sweet tea still being fantastic, everything else was just okay at best....even the double-o sauce was just okay!! It's really hard to describe why everything wasn't as good as it used to be.....you would know if you go try it, haha. I probably will go back again.....eventually.....once I forget today's experience. Maybe it'll be better again next time! Three stars for the rating for now to average out today's experience with all my other prior experiences! read more

Always forgets sauces. Staff is very rude and lazy. I've been to this location multiple times and it never gets better.

I come to Bham once a month and havent tried Milos yet. Tried plenty of places for breakfast and was in the area and wanted something local and these guys have a good name. We had breakfast so this review is for Breakfast Only. The crew was very helpful and attentive. The dining and kitchen areas very clean. The food came out quickly. The grits had a few lumps. The biscuits thin. The Dr Pepper was slightly over carbonated. Pricing was on the high side for fast food with no senior drinks. I now realize Milos is a hamburgers and tea type retaurant. I must give them another try in the future for lunch!!! read more

I'd probably give Milo's 3.5 stars but since you can't give halves, I'm rounding down not up. We came through the drive thru so i did not go into the store. The wait at the drive thru was okay and the order was correct. However, we were told to pull over and wait in parking area because my chicken sandwich was still being cooked. All the food was piping hot so 5 stars for that. Got a burger for the dogs, they loved it. I ordered the spicy grilled chicken sandwich. I honestly didn't think it was spicy at all and it was actually very bland. There was no flavor to it. It was so blah, I didn't finish it. Hubby ordered a peach pie to try. The filling was not very good and the crust itself was also very bland. I got a free apple pie w my sandwich for having to wait and although it was a little better than the peach, it still wasn't great. I definitely would never get a pie again. If I based whether I would come back on this order alone, the answer would be no. However, I've had their burgers before and like them and their fries are really good as well. When you go in the store, I like all the different sauces they have. So, my advice would be to stick to the burgers. read more

The ice is the most special part of this establishment. The crinkle fries are well seasoned. The special sauce is like a pepped up barbeque sauce. It's worth a trip to Alabama alone. read more

Missing communication yesterday I ordered (2) combos listed on receipt, but orders will still incorrect.

Have been a fan of Milo's for years, a bit different, but will eat there every chance I get (the closest one to my house is 60+ miles

The dining room was spotless and inviting. My food was fresh and hot and the staff was outstanding. This was the best fast food dining experience I've had in a very long time. read more

I guess I am not from Alabama, so I don't get all the hype about the Milo's hamburger and the Milo's sauce. The hamburger is pretty basic with onions and Milo's sauce. The Milo's sauce is just ketchup and barbeque sauce it seems. I will say the Conecuh sausage biscuit is good - anything with Conecuh sausage typically is. read more

From the reviews that I've read and the many locals I've had conversations with, Milo's was the place to go. Now The burger was perfectly cooked, the bun was just right and now that I've been here twice, I knew to ask for the Milo's sauce to not be placed on my burger. I realize that every place has their thing and the Milo's Sauce is that "thing" but for me it's a No Go. The staff was super friendly and was very patient while I debated what I wanted to order. I had the Double Cheeseburger with extra cheese, fries and a Coke. I'm a fry guy and the fries are Top 5 of any place I've ever been. My suggestion is that you ask for their Milo's seasoning salt and also their Milo's Honey Mustard sauce. I learned about these two items from a prior Chicken Tender meal. (It was great, try it if you come here) All in all I'll have to give them a 5 out of 5. I was beyond pleased and the customer service to me is always just as important as the food quality, luckily here both run neck and neck. Thanks, I'll be back. read more

The sweet tea is 5 stars. I would come here only for the tea! Burger - 3 stars Grilled chicken 3 stars Fries - 3.5 stars Special sauce for the burger - isn't that special - the flavor is not strong and is BBQ/steak sauce like I like the history and the story of milos ! The sauce selection at the restaurant is a good variety. read more

Was really hoping that this place would be good, but sadly the restaurant was extremely unclean. The floors were so sticky that your shoes stuck to them. The burger was like a cheap cafeteria burger. On the way out, I saw huge roaches crawling around on the floor. Only positive was that the staff was friendly. read more

I know folks rave about the sauce that Milo's puts on their burgers... but I am not one of those folks. For me the sauce is a bit overwhelming, so I always order my burgers with out that sauce. I will get the rest of the fixings, which actually puts more of an emphasis on the meat itself. Now the burger is a little above average for a fast food place. However the meat has nothing special about it. With out the sauce to hide it's taste, it is indeed a bit bland. Now the fries, I have to admit the seasoning they put on them is really good, the only drawback to the fries is the unevenness of this seasoning. Some you get with a good bit and others hardly have any on them. For me this is a quick lunch type of place. If I have to work through lunch and just need something fairly fast I stop by here. All of the staff are really friendly and always pleasant to deal with. For me that is what keeps me coming back, the staff and the speed. read more
