Editorial Review for Millie's – by Steven Grimm
The Scene
Millie's is like a 1950s housewife who deserted her family, started chain-smoking and joined a hard-core band. Yet to her kids, she's still a sweetie. Belly up to the counter to watch cooks at the old stove or sit in the side room hung with aprons embroidered with nasty slogans.
The Food
The menu features eggs and pancakes with personality. The Devil's Mess scramble is loaded with Cajun-spiced turkey sausage and white-cheddar cheese. The Marsala-sweetened Hangtown Fry boasts a truckload of bacon and oysters. On the lunch side, sandwiches are also zippier, like the grilled cheese sandwich crackling with chipotle heat. The heavy hamburger is served on a spongy bun--perfect for getting a handle on the quality toppings.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoThis spot is for leisurely meals. Unless you're dining at 8am on a Monday, don't expect things to happen fast.
ParkingStreet parking is difficult, particularly during peak brunch hours (10am to 12:30pm) on weekends. Some people risk parking in the 99-Cent Store lot.
The ExtrasBurn off the homemade biscuit calories by strolling down the street to the treasure trove of Den of Antiquity.

The food is as delicious as the service is horrible. Every single time I've gone I've sat at a table for at least 10 minutes before a server even came by the table (even if there are less than 5 tables sat!). Once the order is taken don't expect to see the server again until your food comes. Once they bring the food ask for anything you'll need cuz you won't see them till they drop the check. The bussers are awesome! They help you with everything else if you give them puppy dog eyes. =) I'd still go just because the food's that good. I just wish I could tip the bussers instead of the servers. They seem to do alot of nothing.
Pros: Price, Food, Coffee
Cons: Service, Parking on the Weekends, Ambience, Line on Weekends

omigod i'm full. Happy mess, devil's mess, rosemary potatoes, coffee, bacon. And waffles, too. This is breakfast, and really done right. Our server was very nice, although a little overwhelmed, but it didn't seem to affect things too much. Food is delicious, and ample. You actually get what you pay for. Millie's has a neighborhood feel, and you find yourself in conversations with those around you as you pass the tapatio and syrup back and forth; this is a good thing, unless you're the hollywood type that avoids talking to lesser beings. Perfect on any sunday, or any day you want to feel like sunday.
Pros: amount of food, casual, friendly, endless coffe, delicious delicious.
Cons: might have to wait for a table. do it.
