Yes! I took to the Milo's drive thru to pick up some fries. Well, certainly I was not alone, the drive thru was packed. I waited patiently as I chit chat on the phone. All of a sudden, the car in front of me peeled off. When I got to the window, they had fetched his order. I told them, he peeled off. Well to my surprise, my regular little fry, changed to a mega fry right before my eyes. The girl at the window said enjoy, cause I literally just gave you a bag of fries. She did! Hit, fresh, delicious, filled to the top! I shared them!! But, super yum. A good thing came to she who waited! read more

Milo's Hamburgers - Fries for days - Burgers Near Me - Gardendale, Alabama

Milo's serves a delicious burger and fries that a person has to be in the mood for. The special sauce is unique and very tasty, but you wouldn't want it every time you ate a burger. The last time I ate a Milo's double, the beef seemed to have been a bit over cooked. Milo's sweet tea and apple pies are the best I've ever had. Milo's has always been a bit overpriced. read more

Awsome burger. Cook just right like they supposed to be. Also had the extra piece of meat in it. Service was great and fast.

All doubleO less than half full Food was as expected. Please fill your sauce cups all the way up. read more

Milo's Hamburgers - Well thankfully I ordered extra doubleO All containers were less than half full - Burgers Near Me - Gardendale, Alabama

The staff was so hard-working, polite, and accurate! The food was awesome too! I wish we had a Milo's near us in Middle TN now that I've tried it. read more

We went to Milo's hamburgers. On our way back home from Alabama. We've heard of this place but we've never had it before. So we were excited to try it. The burger itself was just OK. Nothing much worth talking about all that in. They have an interesting sauce selection that goes on it I was not really expecting, or didn't really like it too much, but the best part about this was the sweet tea that was really good. read more

We stopped on the way through Birmingham looking for a good hamburger. This was NOT the place. The patty tasted like it had been boiled and way too much sauce. We also got chicken tenders which were ok, nothing special. read more

I'm a big fan of Milo's sweet tea but the fast food chain leaves a little bit to be desired when it comes to food. Wife had the regular cheeseburger combo which came smashed to pieces from the drive through & would have been decent enough but the "sauce" on it is not something we were a fan of. Like barbecue but not, had an odd meaty flavor to it. However, the grilled chicken tender sandwich I had was very good. Super simple with seasoned juicy chicken. I'd get this again. Fries were hot and fresh but overly seasoned. Might try again when in the area & get something else, but wasn't impressed especially for $21 read more

Well. It's not what I wanted but what I expected. The lady at the counter was super nice . We thought the double burger was a single. It was nothing like the picture. Lots of fries! They have the best crushed ice and sweet tea was perfect. Sandwich was ehhh??? read more

I grew up on Milo's when it was just beginning. Have lived in North Carolina for fifty-five years and when coming to Alabama I always stop first for two Milo's cheeseburgers before going to my families for a visit. I do not eat North Carolina burgers with slaw and chili. Am glad we now have Milo's tea for sale in NC. read more

Food was pretty good The fries were so hot. They burn my mouth I might be 50 but I still got a baby mouth. Service was OK. They didn't come and check on us. Ambience tables crumbs on them . read more

Horrible Service. we waited in the drive thru for 40 minutes and got to the window and they gave our food to someone else so we had to sit for another 20 while they made our food. do not recommend read more

The food was cooked hot and fresh. All the customers was happy and the employees and manager had us in a great mood. The restaurant was clean. read more

You will wait at least 10 min even in drive thru for their made to order food but at this location it's worth it. They have some of the friendliest staff and even though they are slow their food is delicious with attention to detail by always asking about what sauces and how many you want!! read more

Star is based on service since we were unable to eat here. We decided to eat in and we stood there for at least 15 min and decided to leave. No one said hello or will be with you soon. read more

No complaints. Good burger. Good southern style sweet tea. The restaurant was clean. No frills. The person taking my order was friendly and efficient. My order was ready fast and it was hot. read more

Only thing decent was my fries and they were refried because i asked for them extra crispy. No way In hell should a cheeseburger be $9.00. And be this thin and dry. I went right back up there and got my money back. I will not be going back read more

I placed a order through the online order app and arrived about 10 to 15 minutes later. A lot of the employees were busy standing around instead of actually working. I think they had two people with special needs working the grill area because they were arguing over what burgers were made and what we're not made. I literally had to stand there for an additional 10 minutes before I realize that I was probably not gonna get my food. The manager seemed like she was 12 years old and incapable of Managing the employees that were there so I would definitely recommend whoever was working at this date and time be replaced by actual adult. I have yet to receive my refund because she advised she can't do refund because the order was placed on the app. There's no way to do a refund on the app so I am wondering if those instructions were read more

Love the iced tea! The burgers are pretty good; the chicken nuggets are average at best. I have been to two locations and one location was clean and well-staffed and the other was much less so. The first location I was very pleased with and the second location left me disappointed. Great sweet tea made both visits! read more

Traveling through the area, I was in search of a place to get a shake. Didn't want the McD or the King. I saw this location from the stop light. There was the sign, "SHAKES" rolled in and up to the drive thru. The wait seemed rather excessive and I questioned whether they were open for business. I opted to roll around to the window for a peek. Low and behold the view of 4 associates standing around engaging in scuttlebutt not even paying attention to us outside the window. Upon me knocking on the window I was greeted with such sass as though I was in the wrong for breaking their little shindig. Well this was a clear example for the counter argument for $15.00 an hour. read more

Cheeseburger bun was totally flat like they had sat on the cheeseburger. One super thin patty. They used to use a patty and a half. Combo was almost $10!! Rip off Had requested hot fries but they were almost stone cold. This Milo's used to be great but now is crap?? read more

After 35-40 years of Milos burgers I tried one with cheese and caramelized onions (got to request burnt onions) It was delicious. My new go to burger. This Gardendale location is always crowded so the food is hot and fresh. Everybody goes to Milos. read more

Came in about a month ago and they didn't have any fresh tenders. Ms. Deborah notified me that it would be a wait but she would get me some fresh fries as well. She was so sweet and professional. Excellent employee choice! Thanks Mrs.Deborah! read more

There is not a week that goes by that I do not stop into the Gardendale location for a No. 2 w/ no onions. When it comes to fast food neither the service nor the meal can be matched. Every time I go by, whether through the drive-through or dining-in, all the employees are friendly, and efficient and are able to get me through the line and with my food in hand in a relatively short amount of time regardless of the line length. The only drawback I can claim is the prices, but then again that is everything else too. read more

Divine! Chicken tenders tasted like God came and handmade those! Whew! So good! I am about to make another trip to Alabama just for those tenders! My sister was made i didn't bring her her own meal read more

It's a burger spot and because I think Milo's tea is pretty good - I decided to try it! $36 dollars later for 3 burger combos - it was not gratifying. * Burgers - not seasoned and greasy * Lettuce, tomatoes, & Onions - an up charge on the mid-grade burger; onions are chopped up in fine pieces - not sliced * Fries - wide crinkle fries - had no flavor other than oil The sauces that they push with the burger was better used as sauce for the fries. read more

Ok. I struggle a bit with good ole Milo's. I've been eating at Milo's pretty much all my life. Oh how good those burgers and sweet tea used to be. For so many years. And yet today's Milo's is just a shadow of its former self, a victim of modernization. Today, the tea is no longer served fresh in the restaurants. You could always taste the difference between what was served in the restaurants and what was sold in the grocery. Now it all tastes like the grocery stuff. Like old tea. And today burgers are just wrong. No more is there that extra little piece of a patty on every burger. And the sauce which used to be made fresh in each store giving a bit of inconsistency that varied from location to location is now a gelatinous, bland goo with none of the richness of the original. It's consistent now but consistently bad. The fries have changed little if at all. The pies are good. My kids like the chicken and my mother will drive across town to find a location that is still serving the peach milkshake. But how I long for the Milo's of old. Simple. Fresh. Yummy. read more

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

Milo's? Try Mi-NO's!!!! The Worst fast food I've ever experienced . Think school cafeteria hamburger circa 1975. The meat contest was won by Billy who guessed "some kind of beef material". Pretty sure pink slime is a staple of the "meat". What is that sauce????? It's kind of lime BBQ sauce crossed with packaged brown gravy.... Uck! The Krinkle fries have some strange orange "fry salt" on them that makes them 250% more salty than any fry ever made. Ok, there's also paprika but you'll never taste it and.....Why?!?!? Finish with a tasteless fried peach pie (I think I might have tasted peach, not sure), and you have the trifecta of horrible. Avoid..... Seriously..... Avoid. read more

The woman on the intercom is always super sweet!!! The food is usually always correct also

That BFI juice on the burgers is just nasty. The buns were burnt and greasy. Only redeeming factors were the fries and the tea. How do they stay in business? read more

We were the second group to walk in right after they opened. The floor, tables, and chairs were all dirty. After we sat down a cockroach the size of my palm (not kidding) came crawling across the floor. I notified them and they ignored it. It was absolutely disgusting. I will never return. Food was mediocre. Atmosphere was disgusting. read more

It's been about 7 years since I've had a Milo's burger! So I was pumped about getting one today. Unfortunately, my experience was less than good. Burger was kinda warm and seemed to have been sitting out a while... definitely not fresh or cooked to order. Fries were cold too... ugh. After complaining about the fries they did bring out a fresh batch right after we got done eating. Which was nice but a little too late as they did not let us know that they were dropping fries when I complained. Staff had a don't care attitude. I've loved Milo's since I was little. But this will probably be my last visit. Such a shame. read more

We ordered online through their app ("skip the line ... no waiting", they crow), got to the restaurant (which looks like it may have been cleaned 6-8 weeks ago) and were forced to wait in the same line as all others. The counter person was surly and uncertain about what an online order was and how to find/package/present it. From all appearances, the only difference between in person and online ordering at this place is that folks who order in person get food that's cooked to order ... and also, since they aren't forced to prepay, have the option of looking around and going elsewhere. read more

I think this is definitely one of those things people remember from their childhood... the nostalgia compensates a bit for some of the short falls. For those of us that didn't grow up with Milos the absence of nostalgia allows us to see this place for what it really is... a burger joint that didn't keep up. They have sacrificed any quality that was present undoubtably to manage costs and survive. You can see it in their menu. They have tried to add choices instead of focusing on being good at one or two things. The best of the best do that very thing... simple, high quality, made to order freshness. Their ice tea business has to be carrying the restaurants. Is that really meat? I have to say... the sauce on the burgers is unbelievably bad. The only way I can image replicating this sauce would be to dice onions, burn them, then reduce heat and cook for 12 hours until they become a brown liquid that causes explosive diarrhea when ingested. Fries are ok... pro tip: fries well done, NO ORANGE SALT! Place was dirty... many table tops still had sauce from previous customers as the indifferent staff doesn't seem to care enough even to wipe down tables. Another example of sacrifice for the sake of costs savings... hire at near minimum wage and you get near minimum customer service (at best). If you have poor quality and poor service why would you expect anyone to come back? Milos Mgr who responds to reviews... have you tried your food lately? Here's an idea, go out west some time and have a burger at In-N-Out... ask any employee if they like working there. They love it, they care, they want customers to have a great experience. Believe me... you can taste it in their food. Do the same to Milos and I think the difference will be obvious. The really sad part... they could easily turn things around. Sorry if you're reading this and you LOVE Milos. read more

We were traveling thru. I didn't know that you could really screw up eggs but mission accomplished. Gave it two stars because the staff was extremely nice. read more

Milo's should be classified as a "no fly" zone. It has gone from being a consistent place to get a different hamburger from the crowd to one that is an embarassment to the community. Last time for me to pay over $4.00 for an inedible hamburger from this once solid performer. read more

Very well seasoned burger, even without the sauce. The sauce of course makes it that much better. I'm odd in that I order it without the bun. There was no issue getting the burger without the bun and it still tasted great. read more

Worst Burgers I have even eaten. Our order was completely wrong and the bun was burned. Wendy's better option

This is the best fast Food Hamburger Place in the World. I stop at Milo's every time I get back into town. In fact this is one of the first places I stop when I get into Birmingham. Come on we all know that "Everyone Goes to Milo's. " I have eaten at several Milo's Locations in my time... The Gardendale location is the best. They have the greatest staff. The best hamburgers and the place is always spotless clean. I even complained about one of the cooks drinking a drink in the back. The manager turned around and said that is the store manager. She went write up to him and handle the situation. I got a free coupon out of it and an apology. But the most significant part to me was the way the employee confronted the boss and was not scared to do so. I think that shows a caliber of employee they hire and the company culture. Every time I go to Milo's I see the same people behind the counter. That is reassuring to me that they take care of their employees. So that makes me believe that is why you don't see toothless drug dealers who just work their because the state forces them too. So take it from a veteran of lots of burgers. Go to Milo's your will not be disappointed with a great hamburger, fries, and a sweet tea. This place sets the bar for the competition. read more

We stopped into Milo's because of the tea. We love the stuff (I buy 2 gallons at a time). I'm giving 1 because I can't give none. By far the worst burger I have ever had. The burger was dry, the bun was smashed as flat as a cracker and the trimmings should have been thrown out. The tea, OMG, disgusting. It tasted as though it was made last week and had started to ferment. . Never again. read more
