I'm a very happy American enjoying my big breakfast on a rainy day this morning. I never visited…read moreMil's Diner in Milpitas in the past 16-17 years since working and living in the area, but I knew that I would eventually check them out someday. Good choice. No lines and no crowds on a rainy day morning with plenty of available parking spots in the huge lot. Nothing attractive on the outside in this old popular plaza. The place turned out great with the old fashioned retro red color style interior and the experience was wonderful. Good vibes and positive feelings when walking into it. My lady server provided excellent service and the Hispanic male worker was quick and efficient. Place is clean and menu had good variety of selections. Breakfast is served all day while lunch items start at 11am. My breakfast was very fulfilling and total was $25.30 with everything included. I paid in cash and tipped them $5. Loved my sweet lady server. There was another older woman at the cash register. She's a local as well. I really enjoyed the stop. I had the Fajitas Omelette breakfast and the steak meats in it were very generous. Delicious breakfast exactly as I had expected. My onions green peppers potatoes were perfect with a side of salsa. Sourdough toast was delicious with the garlic butter taste. I really came for my favorite hot chocolate with whipped cream in the morning. I do miss big American breakfasts, especially in these old fashioned and traditional retro spots. Love it. Why didn't I visit this place much earlier? Because they're always busy or full inside and the plaza parking is usually congested with heavy traffic here. Overall, I love the vibes and the service. It's one of those places where you can just have normal casual conversations with the staffs working inside if you are open to it. Beautiful diner. Yes, I will be revisiting in the future. If you love huge food portions, there's great value here. One plate can easily be shared between two people. Nice.

I thought I was the only one but after reading the reviews I feel a little better about my dining…read moreexperience. After we ordered our food, I switched ketchup bottles with the table next to mine because I wanted a fuller bottle, and the fat lady worker scolds me - "hey don't just put an empty bottle on another table" with a snarky attitude. Hey you trashy haired lady, I don't work here, don't tell me what to do. Most of the workers are nice but that old bag had some self-righteous attitude. Seen it a few times before too, with her gross ass make up. If you're so concerned about the ketchup bottles why don't you do your own damn job and make sure they're full, you lazy cow. She kind of ruined my meal, but I'm glad to hear other people complain about her rude behavior. She's probably a miserable sack of potatoes that's mad at herself because she doesn't know how to put down the fork.

The cheeseburger was actually really delicious and a good portion. The service was good, It was fairly busy, so our waiter only came by our table to take our order + for the bill.

Since it's just adjacent to Paris Baguette, I won't return.

I've been frequenting this restaurant for about 3 years. I almost always have the same server,…read moreMiriam. She's outstanding and always helps me with my every-time request - make it spicy! It started with the barbacoa chilaquiles. When I saw that that the chilaquiles in the menu had habaneros on it, I knew I had found my place. I often cook at home with ghost and scorpion peppers, which are not traditionally found in restaurants, but they've done some pretty amazing improvisation when I've asked to make it work. One time, I recall getting the chilaquiles and asking for extra habaneros and asking if their chef had a secret hot sauce that was stronger than "white people spicy." Miriam brought me a little ramekin of a pepper sauce puree that the chef prepared - and it was EPIC. I don't ask for that every time, but you know whoever was on the line took the request seriously and actually had some fun making my mouth burn. I can't tell you how appreciative I am of their willingness to "play" in the kitchen. Today, I went for breakfast and ordered the Carne En Su Jugo for my first time. Not just here - first time ever eating it anywhere. I had totally forgotten to ask them to make it spicy! I asked Miriam if there was anything they could do to spice it up. She assured me they could. Then I received it. And I tasted it. And it was cathartic. The chefs prepared a PERFECTLY spicy stew, and I downed that whole thing in 7 minutes. It was delicious, put some sweat on my brow, and left me feeling more than satisfied with my meal. I love this place! Miriam is always great every time I've been there. I will continue supporting this business as long as they keep doing business. Please give my compliments to the chefs again. Their creativity keeps me coming back for spicy treats!

Let me start by saying they have the right idea & the potential to be a star in the brunch game…read more The good things: The menu, so many delicious sounding items. Bonus points for having fun seasonal choices. The kids menu has good options but it is kinda pricey for being the kids menu. Bonus points because they use handmade tortillas for the kids taco. They also offer unique things like a breakfast molcajete and a mini birria pambazo. We didn't try those but it sounded intriguing. Also so many drink choices if you're looking for a michelada or mimosa. Cute vibes inside & love the plates and ceramics they use. It is small though so wouldn't really accommodate a large group easily, especially if it's busy. There is parking but even though it wasn't busy it was hard to find a spot. All that said, it was a very mid experience. The meat for the kids birria and the chilaquiles was more on the dry side. Same for the rice. The Grinch milkshake was good and cute. The tamarindo mimosa was good after we asked for extra tamarindo. Initially it was very heavy on the champagne. The country potatoes were yummy. The gingerbread pancakes were also dry & didn't taste like gingerbread. Also was sad that they were out of the advertised Holiday drinks: chocolate abuelita and atole de mazapán. I ordered the hot chocolate in its place but even though it looked cute, it tasted watery. I came here specifically for the Holiday items so that's why I was so disappointed with that. Service was okay. Our server was friendly when we interacted with her but it was very limited. Pretty much when she took our order & then when I flagged her down to return my pancakes & hot chocolate. She was very understanding though about that so I appreciated that. Overall, if they made adjustments to their flavor & quality it could be really good. From this visit I would say their Mexican food is better than their American food. I'd try again in the future, just not any time soon.

Kenny seems like a hardworking and lovable guy in the community. The portions were double of what I…read morecould normally eat so the meal definitely had some leftovers. The cheesesteak had lots of cheese and steak and the roll was very buttery. The fries were cooked perfect and came out hot. From what I can tell, it's just Kenny working here so the service can be a bit slow but he is very apologetic about taking a while for orders. But with that being said, I suggest you plan ahead or make sure you're not in a rush. I love that the place is decorated with all of his customers. I love looking at the photos while you wait for your food.

Little did we know we would stumble upon this gem of a place!! The breakfast burrito we got was large, flavorful, and filling, but the real star of the show was Kenny himself. He talked to each and every person coming in the door and even posts every single person on his Insta!! The walls of this place are literally covered in Kenny's history and memories of past customers, family members, and loved ones. It's rare to come across such a personal establishment like this these days. So happy for Kenny and hope his business keeps on thriving. Will definitely be back when I'm back in town!

The real deal... THE best homestyle restaurant meal I've had since leaving the south over 10 years…read moreago. My country fried steak was perfectly cooked & flavored and the gravy was exactly right. The hash browns were top notch, grilled crunchy outside & not at all greasy or oily. The wheat toast was exactly as simple as it should be & delicious with butter & strawberry jam. My scrambled eggs left a little to be desired but there's hot sauce on the table to fix that right up. My lunch neighbor had the Ulitmate Fried Chicken Sandwich (pic) and he likes it so much gets it every time he eats here. And the coffee? The coffee comes from Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. The plates in my pics look small but in fact are large plates & might be too much food for some people. The food & service is great but the prices are a bit stiff for lunchtime however the comfort food would be right at home in any Memphis diner.

Absolutely unacceptable experience. 3 out of 4 plates served to our table were chipped, which is…read morenot only careless but honestly dangerous. When we pointed it out, the waiter casually admitted they already knew about the issue and were "waiting for new plates to arrive." If you KNOW your plates are damaged, why are you still serving food on them? They offered to replace the meals, but we were already halfway through eating and had our 3-month-old baby with us, so sitting there longer was not practical. We asked for some form of compensation considering the situation, but both the waitress and the manager flat out refused. The manager's attitude was dismissive and unapologetic, as if serving food on broken dishes was completely normal. When I said I didn't feel comfortable paying full price for such poor and unsafe service, the waitress threatened to call the cops. Imagine threatening customers instead of taking responsibility for your own restaurant's negligence. In the end we were forced to pay the full bill for a terrible experience. Horrible customer service, zero accountability, and complete disregard for customer safety. Will never return and would strongly advise others to avoid this place unless you enjoy eating off broken plates and being treated disrespectfully.

The food is worth the wait. Don't sleep on the black pepper sausage danish: the croissant dough is crisp and flaky, and doesn't get soggy when baked around the sausage. It's comparable in execution to the Croissant Hot Dog served at Dominique Ansel Las Vegas (in Caesar's Palace), but at a way more accessible price point. Which isn't to say this place is cheap; like many artisanal bakeries in California, it comes with a premium price tag, but at least it's not Dominique Ansel pricy. Croissante's croissant dough baked goods (viennoiserie) is pun-intended "proof" that you get what you pay for. The dining space is limited and lively. Conversing is a little tough, but if you just need a place to sit while eating, it's just right. Extra special shout out this time to Dill who had informed me the fried chicken dishes today would be an hour and a half wait. After deciding there wasn't anything I wanted more than the Fried Chicken and Spiced Croffle (croissant dough baked in a waffle iron) and was happy to wait, they were nice enough to check in with the kitchen and see if it could be made sooner than that. I didn't expect to be accommodated, so I was happy they were able to do that. You get two chicken thighs and croffles per order. It's enough for two light eaters to share.

There's plenty of seating, free water cups, and lots of art on the wall for purchase. There's some artists I recognized from going to art events in the bay, and some I didn't.

Do you know how much I've longed for bag hooks!?!? Your bag is not gonna get dirty here. Overall: price is fair, quality is great, and vibes are good. If I had ONE note, the acoustics are a little off / things can get echo-y but it's not the worst of that I've ever seen. Really, no complaints. I did like that the music wasn't too loud. Thanks for having us!
