    Millie's is a funky little diner with amazing food and great service. It was a recommendation from a bartender we chatted with, and it did not disappoint! We will definitely be back next time we are in Richmond.

    Shrimp and grits are my restaurant test, and Millie's gets it 1000% correct. The shrimp were perfect and the gravy contained a spicy sausage and tomatoes (maybe some peppers? I wasn't sure - ate it too fast!) that was unique. Clearly the chef has put their own spin on this classic, and I would eat it over and over again. Great atmosphere, good coffee - would totally go back!

    Millie's is one of my favorite brunch spots - it's unique and has a very home-y vibe that I like. I had the eggs benedict and I love the breakfast potatoes. I think Millie's could totally add some kind of sweet option would be really cool. Service was amazing, and coffee and bloody mary were excellent. I will take my friends here.

    Not sure why this place was rated so highly. Nothing remarkable about the food. Pretty noisy but we were sitting by the kitchen door and the bar with the door to the kitchen constantly swinging open. We did not have cocktails so I am thinking that was the appeal.

    Millies is an old-fashioned, comfortable, diner with outstanding food and service. It has a wonderfully relaxed vibe. There's a reason Millies is consistently ranked as the top brunch/lunch place in Richmond (which has no shortage of great places to eat). It gets busy, so make a reservation and expect short wait (5-10 minutes) during weekend brunch but if you go with the flow, you'll become a fan.

    We have been coming to Millie's for YEARS-- but we hadn't been for a while -- this is the first BAD experience we've had. We waited 20 minutes to be seated for an 11:00am brunch reservation - watching other 4 tops being sat before us. Our waiter was excellent - very attentive and friendly. However, 2 of our dishes were mediocre at best. Not much flavor or imagination. It's too bad -- don't get cocky Millie's - you've got a ton of competition now in Richmond -- really excellent restaurants -- you have to keep on working on your craft to stay above the rest. So disappointed with our brunch after so many years of great meals.

    The only thing not as positive I need to mention is the seating. Not a lot of options for short statured folk. We sat in a booth (best option since the other seats are pretty high) and the booth benches have a wooden lip on the end of the seats. That along with how close the table is to the booth benches made it very difficult for us to get in and out of. I squeezed out and actually had to lift my girlfriend out of it. All I’d ask is to work towards ADA compliancy. That said, Ruth was a fantastic wait staff, the food was great, vibe was great, place is great. Thank you!
