We got here about 15 minutes before they opened and stood in line. Timing was perfect as we were the second to last group to be seated for breakfast. Despite every table just filling, the staff was calm, cool, collected and did not skip a beat. Great little restaurant with incredible food. Three of us dining and all three dishes... More

I was really excited to try this place after living in Richmond for 10 years. I think its geared more towards a younger crowd. The music was pretty loud and we couldn't really chat. I thought the variety of dishes was good and the food was decent, but I guess I was expecting something more from all of the reviews.... More

If you're looking to loose weight go somewhere else! But if you want the breakfast of a lifetime Millie's is THE PLACE! Sitting elbow to elbow, sipping the bloody mary and finding what's happening locally is part of the character of the place. Can't find a breakfast as "rootin tootin" as the one at Millie's

Millies is our go-to for brunch. When we travel we say, yeah, that was good, but Millie's is better. You have to go for the experience. You will wait, you will have a bloody mary or mimosa, or coffee while you wait, you can chat it up with friends or meet new folks while you wait. They make no apologies... More

Anyone who lives in Richmond already knows. If you have never been to a weekend Brunch and Millie's you have never had a weekend Brunch (minding that it is geared toward the youngish hangover crowd who reside down in the lofts on Main).

Went there for lunch one day and had a tremendous meal. Very, very inventive dishes, and excellent service. Our family loved it, and we have been back several times, always great. Haven't had any better in Richmond.

When we added our names to the list, i immediately spotted what i wanted to eat. We were offered drinks during our wait. I... More

I hear that there is usually a line when the place opens. we got lucky and got right in. We got a large plate of food for a good price. The Devils mess and the Castro's mess were both delicious.

Best breakfast joint, however, if you are in a hurry or if there is inclement weather pass on this restaurant because there is always a wait out the door. The food is good, somewhat unusual, no substitutions, but the menu is varied enough so that you can find something that you might like to eat. If you are willing to... More

I'm pretty sure the only reason people think they like this place is because Steven Spielberg went there one time... Everything is smothered in Hollandaise sauce! Its absolutely all you can taste! Not to mention that there are no substitutions allowed, so you cant avoid the overwhelming amount of sause no matter what you do! Service is slow and stuck... More
