Great service good food and soooo CLEAN!!!!! Great experience happened to be dropping off some clothes at goodwill and the aroma of delicious food lured me in! I got the all meat scramble it's 4 eggs hugging a plethora of breakfast meats! I ate half was tasty! The hasbrowns perfectly crispy on the outside the the pancake was sooo big and fluffy (ate half) price is fair I mean I can make two meals off one! I think the Filipino/Polynesian man is the owner. If he is I'm impressed because he jumped in helped bus tables, serve coffee and just worked the floor. Such a friendly guy to all patrons I saw him interact with. Definitely a gem and I can't wait to bring my BF. We love breakfast spots and I am happy I found this one read more

A great place for breakfast. The crab and cake Benedict is good and they have chicken (not tenders) and waffles too also really good. Portions are a good size price is reasonable. read more

Been coming here for years, I always leave with my tummy filled and happy. The owner is very attentive with his customers, food price is reasonable:) read more

The food portions were big and filling! Definitely had to take some home. Food was also delicious, service was great as well. It was pretty busy, but the server we had made sure to check on us and had everything we needed. Definitely going back again soon read more

Slow to seat, we were waiting at the front for a while so we sat ourselves and I went to the register to get the menu, but they informed me that they'll bring it to us. The chairs and tables felt sticky even though they cleaned it. Part of the food was ready and sitting on the counter for about 10 min. There were numerous people walking past it and no one checked on it. When we finally received part of our order, they started making our waffle outside. It seemed like it was rushed so it was undercooked and wasn't as crispy as last time. My country fried steak, sauce, eggs and wheat toast were on the dry side. Wheat had butter slabbed in the middle which I preferred not to. The only plus is that the portions were of a good size. read more

Been coming here for years because they just know how to prepare a good breakfast. Food is good, fast service and friendly staff.

Looks like it's under new ownership. They now charge to use your debit or credit card. How they tell you is a very small sign next to the register in very small font. Some of the servers are still there but the food is okay. Coffee seems different and the food not as flavorful. Sadly we probably won't be coming back. read more

This mom-and-pop restaurant is our go-to place for breakfast and lunch. Good food and a reasonable price. A mimosa drink is as big as a beer mug for only $9. Three meals and a mimosa for less than $60. We are all about supporting mom-and-pop stores and restaurants. read more

We have been eating at Mils for over 20 years have always been satisfied with the food and size of servings and it has such a community feeling We are sad to see Loui and Rula retire and sell the restaurant but very excited for the new ownership Terri who has been a long time waitress along with her business partner Anthony have taken ownership they have a very friendly atmosphere and the cooks are the same so the food is still delicious the service is just as good if you haven't tried the restaurant we suggest you do Chris & Brenda Ybarra read more

So this is the second time I have reviewed this fabulous gem of a place in Milpitas. A true institution and a beautiful example of the "family" diner. As of Jan 1, 2023 it is under new management. When I came here three years ago I was served by Teri - she and her business partner Anthony have now bought the place. I am happy to say it is just as fantastic as it was three years ago. I come here every time I pass through not just because the food is great and the service can't be beat but because I always leave with a smile on my face. Some places are more than just a "place to eat" - they are a part of your life like family. I am so grateful they made it through the lean pandemic years and I would highly encourage anyone in the area or passing through to stop in for breakfast or lunch. It's well worth your time and you may just become a regular like me. read more

Mil’s Diner - Biscuit and gravy with bacon instead of sausage and fruit (no watermelon thank you!) substituted for the hash browns. - Diners Near Me - Milpitas, California

I always loved coming to a family-owned/run business. The moment you step in you can feel the positive energy floating around in the diner. They are really welcoming. I came here on a Sunday around 10:30am. The wait was only 10 mins for a party of two. The wait definitely got a little bit longer as it gets closer to noon. The decor is very typical of a diner. There a quite a few booths and the bar area. I got the Belgian Waffle with Eggs and Bacon. You really can't go wrong with it. It was delicious. The wait for the food was kind of long (~20 mins) which is understandable since the diner was packed. I can't wait to come back to try it one more time! Maybe this time their awesome weekend specials!! read more

I love this place!! You get the traditional American staples made to perfection and a great diner experience. The staff is super friendly and makes sure your coffee is never cold.

Our favorite place for breakfast since moving to Milpitas. Old school feel, service is ALWAYS on point. Very friendly atmosphere, the music is great, always some throwback R&B, the food is great quality and cooked with love. Very accommodating, there is a line out the door if you go on a weekend so go early. read more

After a quick trip to the Great Mall, my daughter and I were famished. I remembered this charming hometown diner from a previous visit. Closing time is 2pm and we arrived a little after 1pm. We were told the menu was available on their website so I opened it up on my phone. I chose the BLT with fries while the tween chose the TLT with fries. The food came out promptly. Our server checked up on us periodically(why am I always mid-chew). Our sandwiches were warm and stuffed with ingredients. Everything was so tasty that we didn't even snap photos. I appreciated that there was plenty of social distance with the remaining outdoor and indoor patrons(we opted for a booth indoors.) The cashier was cheerful and thanked me profusely for supporting their business. We will return for either breakfast or lunch whenever we're in the area. read more

After all the great reviews I've read, we decided to give this place a try. Upon arrival, we were seated immediately. But no menu was given. I saw the table who arrived before us asked for the menu and the server just pointed to the window where the menu was posted. We just looked at the menu on Yelp prior to coming so we knew what we wanted. I got the crab cake Benedict. Hubby, French toasts & son got the cheese burger Nothing special about all the meals we ordered.. very classic, very original.. I would not come back b/c there are other breakfast/brunch places that are way better.. Sorry Mil's Diner read more

Came in on a weekday morning to enjoy breakfast with my daughter. It was our first time here and it was pretty busy when we arrived. A family had just left so after cleaning the table we were immediately seated. Upon seating, we were handed a menu and we ordered water, orange juice and apple juice for my daughter. Unfortunately, they just ran out of orange juice so I just drank my water instead. My daughter ordered the French toast with a side of strawberries and I had ordered the eggs Benedict. The eggs Benedict was delightful, especially with the brown pepper sauce that they had available. The only thing I would change is asking my waiter if they can make the hash browns extra crispy and toasting the English muffin a bit more. Sadly, the French toast did not meet my daughters expectations, and quite frankly my own as well. I think it was too eggy for her and I personally think if they added a little cinnamon and vanilla it would be perfect! The strawberries were fresh and the perfect mixture of sweet and slightly tart. After paying for our food, we went to use the restroom. It was cold, clean and overall had a very different aesthetic from the rest of the diner. Overall, we enjoyed our breakfast here but would definitely like to try something else instead of the French toast. read more

This place is so cute and old-school. Definitely had that classic diner feel that we all know and love. And waitstaff was so welcoming from the second we walked in! I went here for an early morning breakfast with my family. I wish I could say I loved it here, but the food was average. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. I got the French toast combo with bacon and eggs. The French toast batter was too eggy, so it looked and tasted like scrambled eggs - not exactly what I would want out of a French toast. I did get to try some of their fried chicken from the chicken and waffles plate and I must say the chicken was delicious! Crispy and yummy skin with a perfectly juicy inside. Country fried steak seemed rather small of a portion, but good flavor to it! Potatoes were a little dry though. This place is a solid 3 stars for the food. Still a cute place to sit down and have some breakfast! read more

Very lovely breakfast diner tucked into the corner of this plaza in Milpitas. Was in the area and decided to stop by for brunch here. From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but there are 2 round tables outside for those with pets or want to sit under the sun. The inside is the typical diner feel, with lots of booths and a row of counter seats. We were greeted and seated right away, and asked for any drink orders immediately. They have a small menu of weekend specials (including more benedict options), plus the typical omelettes, pancakes and the likes that you'd find at any breakfast/brunch spot. Our food came out within 5-10 minutes and pretty good. There was a bit too much hollandaise sauce on the benedicts for my liking, so I would probably ask to adjust it next time around. But the eggs were poached medium, so it was runny but not super raw when you cut through it. Their hash browns were pretty good, and their benedicts came with a side of canned pineapple (not particularly special, but cute). All in all, the food was cheap, the service was super fast, and the staff was super friendly. Our waitress was on top of the game and asked if we wanted our takeout order to be started just as we were finishing up our dine-in orders, and it was ready just as we were packing up our leftovers. Pay at the front, per the usual diner flow, and staff was great with bussing tables quickly and thanking us on our way out too. Parking was easy as it is a huge plaza (connects like 3 different "plazas"). Would come back again! read more

I wanted to be at a Diner today. I made it here this Sunday. I'm in Milpitas. I'm here for an American breakfast or brunch item. I finally get my Corned Beef Hash with over easy-eggs, hash browns, and English muffin. I added Onions and Bell Peppers to my potatoes. This is a classic. This is far from the Army's S.O.S. Chipped Creamed Beef on Toast. If you're into Reuben Sandwhich, this is right up your alley. Like a lot of people out there, I grew up on Palm Corned Beef from Australia or New Zealand. The Corned Beef Hash was delectable. The hash browns were slightly fluffy, and crunchy. The English muffin was toasted perfectly. The over easy-eggs yolk wasn't over cooked. And I liked how I'm able to add Onions and Bell Peppers to my potatoes, it was scrumptious. This is what a basic Corned Beef Hash should taste like. I was thinking this was going to be a 4.0-4.1 stars, this could be a 4.3 stars, but I give this 4.2 stars. read more

I always come here on the weekends! My favorite hometown diner. The servers remember you and always come around to check in on you. The menu doesn't really change (most diner menus don't really change now that I think about it). There's always plenty of parking. One thing though: they do charge a small service fee for credit cards. So bring cash! read more

Mil’s Diner - Egg White Omelette with extra extra crispy hash browns. And a chorizo scramble with cheese. Also with sour cream on the side. - Diners Near Me - Milpitas, California

Really wanted to try some of the local eating places, so I made it a point to come here because of all the great reviews. I love the good old fashioned American diner. It's cozy and comfortable. But everyone else loves it too, so we had to wait a while. About 20 minutes to get a table, and then another 20 or so to get our food. But that's because it's busy and hectic for the people working there. They were still sweet even though they had to be going crazy on a Sunday morning. The food is good. There's nothing really special about the food...it's just good comfort food. Better than chain restaurants to me. I love these places because it's just real food prepared nice and tasty. And their dishes come with 3 eggs. We were surprised because a lot of places only serve 2. My family was stuffed and happy when we left. I would definitely come back...but earlier because there was a lot of people waiting for a table when we left. read more

This is a favorite of mine. I live in Milpitas and this is definitely a go to. The menu very good. I love going for breakfast.

My husband and I try to come a few times a month for breakfast so we can support our local, family owned businesses in the area. Mil's has been around for ages and we have been long time patrons of the establishment. The waiters are all longtime employees and it has a great family diner vibe you miss out on in populated cities. My go to meal is their crab cake benedict and coffee. Their coffee is also good. I always like to judge a breakfast spot on how good their coffee is. Like Bill's Cafe has great food but a lackluster cup of joe which makes me sad when I'm dying for a caffeine boost on an early weekend morning! My husband likes to get their everything scramble or the linguisa sandwich, but to be honest you could probably get anything and be satisfied with it. Big portions, greasy goodness, diner vibes. Also just FYI they have off brand soda.... so just be aware, if you are like my husband and like diet soda for breakfast, expect to get RC cola. They also just started doing indoor seating, at limited capacity. But outdoor seating is plentiful for pandemic dining. read more

Food is amazing !! The service is awesome !! The owner is so so sweet and the atmosphere was so inviting !! Do yourself a service and come here !! We were greeted with a smiling face as soon as one foot stepped in the door. 5 star business read more

stopped in this diner to have breakfast after going to a concert at Levi Stadium. Little diner was fairly busy, but we got in and seated quickly. Food was really good my go to is chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy. I loved that the chicken fried steak was hand dipped and fried not just some freezer chicken fried steak as usual from most diners. Steak was really good was good. Gravy tasted homemade which I really enjoyed. Staff was super friendly all around good experience. read more

Just left Mills. Great food , great service and great prices! The ambiance is comfortable!

Pretty good spot. I enjoy the food here, but it does not blow me away. Standard breakfast joint though. Eggs, bacon, and french toast were okay, but not the best. I did not like the breakfast sausage. The sausage tasted a bit funky, but not too bad. It's not bad quality. Just an interesting flavor. The country style/home potatoes were good. Very crispy and enjoyable. I have tried their fried chicken before. My brother loves them, but I thought they were decent. Perhaps I'll try again. read more

Just glad they've re-opened for outdoor dining staff always so pleasant. Came by this morning after dropping off items at the Goodwill donation center which is right next door. Quite surprise by the number of empty tables with a few customers had it been on a weekend it would have been pack and no place to be seated. I order my favorite the country special scrambled eggs, hash browns, two biscuits and two sausage patties layer with gravy. The lady was kind enough to refill my glass with iced water. Will be back maybe have some waffles or buttermilk pancakes to go or dine here read more

This place has definitely got an old diner feel- the interior design, layout, just the overall feel and ambiance. I love it! It's definitely not modern, but that's what makes this place so special! It's like....it got stuck in time back to the 80's. We love coming here from time to time when we want to get a nice family breakfast or brunch together. We are always greeted and walked to our booth by the host. There is always someone walking around refilling our coffee. Our food comes out at a reasonable time, depending on how busy it is. But we feel it's always busy. The quality of the food is good and meets our expectations. Portions are decent; to me, they're in the larger side because we always seem to have some leftovers. I gave it four stars because overall, it is an older restaurant with good food and great staff-- just may not be for everyone! We recommend Mil's for a good meal - breakfast or brunch - and some good quality family time! read more

Great diner, very friendly staff, food is DELICIOUS!!! I've had corned beef hash and eggs, Italian sausage and eggs, chicken and waffles. Everything is cooked perfectly, the waffle is huge and 4 pieces of fried chicken crispy and juicy. The Italian sausage is big and delicious and I love the corned beef hash. Again the staff there are great and friendly, always checking on you and food comes out quickly. It's a nice size restaurant and it does fill up quickly on the weekends. Can't say enough about this restaurant, highly recommend. read more

This spot is fantastic. 1. The staff is very warm and friendly. They really make you feel like you're at home. Very courteous and welcoming.

Visited San Jose for the day and we decided to grab breakfast. The clerk at the hotel suggested Mil's Diner. Great recommendation! When we arrived we sat at the counter. The server was very friendly. My husband and I both ordered an omelet. I ordered the Mediterranean and added spinach. I've never had Italian sausage in an omelet, and it was delicious. The portions are large. Seriously my husband and I could have probably split one. It also came with a side of hash browns and toast. Both the coffee and tea were great, and our service as outstanding. I wish I could remember our servers name. Definitely recommend this place for a delicious and filling breakfast. read more

I've come here 3 times in the last month and they haven't missed a beat! We've come right before they close and during a rush hour on the weekend. If there was a wait, it was very quick, less than 15mins! The ambiance has an amazing old school diner feel and the employees top it off with very genuine service. The food is great too! The portions are worth the price and always come out hot and fresh. I am a huge diner person and I love a fresh cup of coffee. The thing that makes me the happiest is when the staff is on point refilling it, and sure enough - they are here! My new favorite diner here in Milpitas. Everyone should go and try. Parking is easy and there is a spacious outdoor area to eat and also wait. read more

Chicken and waffles are delicious and its always hard to choose between the country breakfast Biscuts and Gravey with patty sausage. So happy to be in the neighborhood and can call this my local diner. But if your out of the area its really worth the drive. read more

This is a value restaurant with better than ihop style food. What is the best? Portion, homemade and traditional breakfast fair. What did we order? Large soup and salad $8 -4.3 stars- soup is homemade and not salty. Beef, cabbage and tomato base soup, it was so big, I was full with just the soup. At a 85F day, only good tasty soup is worth drinking. Salad was simpler and not memorable. Egg Benedict with avocado on muffin. $11 -4.1 star- Tasty! We exchange toast with pancake. Bigger than your face pancake and very fluffy. 3-4 egg omelette. -3.8 stars- port is big. Taste ok. 3 eggs breakfast with hash brown. Hash brown is good. If you like traditional diner food, this place is a good solid choice. read more
