Really happy that we stumbled on this place for breakfast! I'm a breakfast lover, so nothing hits the spot like a traditional diner breakfast. I got the #3 combo and added hash browns. Great sized portions, especially compared to those overpriced hip brunch spots. Boyfriend got a country fried steak and cured his hangover. Everything was fresh and delicious. Staff was super nice. They do favor their regulars, but we didn't feel overtly ignored. Service could be quicker, but it was starting to get busy, so we gave them a pass for that. Overall, super happy we came here! Only recommendation to the establishment is to make sure that cooking staff wears masks. We saw through the window that they were wearing masks. read more

Best omelette I've ever had. Took over 45 minutes to even hear when our order was coming though. The wait was a nightmare but the food was great! read more

If you love hefty portions and delicious comfort food, Mil's is the place for you! The service was a bit slow, but that was anticipated for a Saturday during brunch time. It took about over an hour to get our food, but it was so worth the wait! I ordered the chicken and waffle with honey, and with Tabasco sauce, it was SO good. I personally didn't like the texture of the chicken's batter too much, but it was a hit for my boyfriend. It was juicy and fell right off the bone! The waffle was also the perfect texture: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My boyfriend ordered the meat omelette with potatoes and sourdough toast. It was a HUGE portion. He eats a lot, but we still had a lot of food leftover. He added peppers and onions to the omelette, and it was pretty good! I'll come back and give the service another shot for the full five stars, but Mil's is a classic staple that is always busy nonetheless! Come early! read more

Good ol American breakfast and it was very fulfilling!! My table ordered the eggs benedict with hashbrowns and the steak, eggs and hash brown with pancakes on the side. Delicious! read more

After 3 attempts, was finally able to reach someone by phone to take a phone order. While she took our order, she asked, "would you like bell peppers and onions with your country potatoes". My coworker said sure! We arrived at Mil's and the lady at the cashier gave us order but explained she can't ring us up bc she wasn't our server. The server came over and gave us the check. I was shocked that there was an upcharge on the order. She said, "it's a $1 extra for bell peppers and onions on your country potatoes and it's $0.50 extra for to go". Okay, fine. Our bad, we didn't ask, but it would have been nice if she had mentioned it over the phone or if they advertised that on their menu or website. Then the lady at the cashier took the check and swiped my card. She asked for a signature and lo and behold, another hidden fee. I asked her why am I being charged another nominal fee? She points to a tiny sign taped to the counter "2% surcharge for credit card transactions". SMH. I told the lady at the cashier and the server that I will never go back again. They could have told me it's 2% extra for credit card transactions and I would have whipped out some cash. Well forget your tip! Worst yet, the chicken fried steak was disappointing. The steak was dry and chewy. The gravy lacked taste. The hash browns were hard. How do you mess up my favorite dish? Wondering why this little diner in Milpitas has won so many awards. 1 star for portion size. Another star for hey, it's still food. read more

My parents and I were visiting the Bay Area. We decided to come here to eat breakfast based on the reviews and we were not disappointed! The food here is delicious! Aside from the food we were greeted by a lovely woman named Rala. She was so delightful. She took our order and made my parents and I feel so welcomed. I'm surprised this place does not have 5 stars. I highly recommend this place! Thank you Rala for a great experience, we hope to visit again soon. read more

Great place that didn't feel overcrowded on a Saturday morning! Portion sizes were really great for a breakfast place, and service was pretty good too. Family friendly as well because my toddler behaved during our meal read more

Was seeking an old school diner breakfast on a weekend morning, when yelp pointed me to Mil's Diner. Corn beef hash? I'm there. Located in an old strip mall, found a parking spot easily in the lot. People were milling around the door. Uh oh, wondered if there was a long wait. After only 5 minutes, we were led to a table for 2. It was s great spot in the back corner, so we had a little privacy. I stuck with water on this morning and ordered the corn beef hash and a side of bacon. All was salty, a bit greasy, goodness, as expected from an old school diner. Server was friendly and fun, but when we were ready to leave she forgot about us. No big deal, but I felt bad for all the people waiting for a table. I would return. read more

Mil’s Diner - Diner Corn Beef Hash w/a side of bacon - Diners Near Me - Milpitas, California

We happened to be in the area for Little's dance competition. Competition went long and we were starving. Found this place and we're always up for diner food so gave it a shot. It's a classic strip mall diner. Long time servers were nice. The owner couple were there, I think. They were funny to watch. Lots of regulars. Service was good and the food came out quick. I had the Joe's omelets. 4 eggs, mushrooms, onions, spinach, and ground beef. It was big and cooked well but woefully underseasoned. Joe's anything (scramble, omlete, whatever) usually has seasoned ground beef. This was just plain unseasoned beef. Adding salt, pepper, and tabasco helped but it could have used a little something else. W got the cheeseburger. When asked how she wanted it she ordered medium rare. It came out well done. No pink at all. My pet peeve is asking how I want something and not doing it. If you're not going to cook burgers to customers preference, fine. But don't ask. W is more forgiving than me. She said it was OK. Same lack of seasoning. Fries were good. Little got the waffle and added strawberries. The servers made the waffle out front which was interesting. The strawberries were fresh. Not those gross syrupy ones. Lots of whipped cream. Little ate the whole thing. All in all, okay food. The fact that we were so hungry we would have eaten cardboard probably helped out their rating. Might have been a star lower if we werent starving. It wasn't cheap but not outrageous either. Pretty middle of the road. read more

Mil's Diner is a classic diner that takes you back in time. The service is always on point and the food is amazing! I've been here a handful of times and I think it's safe to say that the quality of their food is consistent. Whenever its super packed, we like to sit at the bar. It's very entertaining to watch the employees interact in front of you while you eat your meal. They also aren't afraid to strike up a conversation with you, the servers are really accommodating and are more than happy to help out. I ordered the eggs benny - the sauce they use is superb! I guess something that they can fix is to slice the ham a little thinner, but that's very minor. Of course, the benedict was awesome. The egg was poached just right and the sauce again was heavenly. My gf had the steak, I don't normally eat a steak in the morning but she gave me a little portion of it and it was surprisingly delicious. This diner has obviously been around in the community for many many years, they also won many awards as well! If you're looking for a classic diner with affordable prices & very large portions, come to Mil's Diner! read more

Second time coming here since I moved to the area and so far so great. Consistent quality service, quaint atmosphere and home style cooking. Ordered the #1 and country breakfast and it was amazing! Plus the mimosas are perfection. read more

Such a charming diner, and the portion sizes are huge. I always get the Popeyes Omelette, with a pancake and potato's, and it lasts me 2-3 meals. The omelette is fluffy and the spinach, mushrooms, and onions give it such a good flavor and texture. The pancake is HUGE, so incredibly rich and fluffy with a big pad of salted butter. They definitely give you your money's worth. The waiters are friendly and you really just feel like you're in a different time. read more

Pretty standard dinner. I had the chicken and waffles combo and it was delicious. They also have fresh squeezed orange juice which I like. There was a line at the door but we didn't have to wait for more than 10 minutes for a table. The waiter was quick and courteous. We were pretty much done eating in less than an hour. When you get the check, you pay at the cashier in front. My boyfriend and I got to meet and talk to the owner of the diner and she was really nice. We'd definitely be back for chicken and waffles! read more

Was surprised that this place was in Milpitas and it was pretty decent! We waited a good 20 minutes or so for a table of 3 around 11 AM on Saturday. The place was busy and bustling with people, workers squeezing through, definite old school diner feel. The menu is very down to the basics, nothing fancy with 10 different types of eggs benedict. Just the classic. The menus are also pretty fair compared to other brunch spots. It took us awhile to order as no one came to ask us if we were ready. All 3 of us decided on the country fried steak, gravy on the side for me. Our food came out pretty quickly. Buttered toasts, eggs, hash brown and steak for all of us that took up our whole table. My friend had asked for his hash browns extra crispy and they brought him a whole plate of it! He did find a hair in his gravy immediately and he got a new one soon after. I really enjoyed the hash browns and the egg whites were done perfectly, not watery at all. The country fried steak was cooked really well, but I will say that even with the gravy, everything was kind of bland! I eat on the blander side, but even I needed to add some salt to this dish! They have pepper plant sauce, so that is a huge plus in my book! Overall, 3.5 stars, food and everything was decent, but not the best. read more

Its your classic American diner with welcoming staff and squishy booths. The waitress did not lie about ordering their delicious plates and fast service. The Country fried steak, this was thick, juicy and served with the right amount of 3 eggs and hash browns; DELICIOUS Also on todays order was their Crab-cakes Benedict and it was loved on by all of us. The final dish at the table was something with biscuits and gravy! Lastly if you peak through the hot window, there's a Jolly chef back there loving every minute of his Saturday morning rush! Next time I'll share pictures. read more

Heck. Yes. Please and thank you. I LOVE a good diner. After spending a good chunk of my early adult life in Los Angeles, I became very acquainted with diners and diner food. Mil's has it all for breakfast. Servers are seasoned and have been working in their profession for years. Customer service is no nonsense but still welcoming. Food is exactly what you'd expect: hot, fresh, and perfectly diner-y. Big pancakes, freshly scrambled eggs, thick sliced salty bacon, crusty corned beef hash, crisp hashbrowns. All of which were perfect. Bonus, Santa Clara County is allowing indoor dining, so this was our first venture into indoor dining since November, and it was everything we wanted it to be. read more

Just average diner food with a nice diner vibe and friendly service. Came here on a weekend morning, place was pretty packed but we opted for bar seating so we didn't have to wait at all. Ordered a fajita omelette and a stack of pancakes + coffee. Pretty standard, I think the eggs were a bit overcooked and I probably should have opted for some cheese because the aside from the meat chunks (faijta omelette had steak, bell peppers, onions) the omelette lacked flavor. Came with hash browns (yum!) and a side of toast. You can sub out your toast for pancakes (would recommend instead of getting a side stack of pancakes because there is a LOT of food) Coffee was kept full most of the time, very attentive. Probably won't be back here because there isn't a noticeable difference vs other breakfast places and I'm more of a "skip breakfast" kinda guy anyways read more

I ordered the fajita omelet which had strips of steak inside. Both the steak and eggs were way overcooked. The entire omelet was hard and dry. I opted for the pancake instead of the toast and pancake was so so. Not fluffy. I would go elsewhere for breakfast next time. read more

I've been coming to Mil's for years now, and it's still one of my favorite go-tos: classic diner feel, hearty (possibly too hearty) portions, and great service. I get it. You've probably braved the long waits at other breakfast joints before only to be disappointed or confused by the hype (looking at you, SF). Mil's isn't one of those places. People don't come here just for the gram. I regularly see the same familiar faces. If this is your first time here, try their crab cake benedict, waffle with fried chicken and honey, or everything scramble (only if you're extremely hungry). read more

Mil’s Diner - Country Special - Diners Near Me - Milpitas, California

I am so pissed off. I came here after church to get breakfast by myself. I wanted to be in an air conditioned restaurant in a booth. I didn't want to sit at the counter. When I arrived the host told me that he couldn't see it any single person in a booth at this time but there's room at the counter. I told him I didn't want to counter. So he told me to put my name on the wait list and I thought it was putting my name on the wait list for a booth. Then he called me and wanted to see me at the counter I told him I had a bad back and I didn't want to sit at the counter I wanted a booth He refused to see me in a booth on the weekends. This is discrimination because I'm a single person I can't sit in a booth! read more

Mil's Diner is the place to come if you are looking for a good ole fashioned breakfast without the typical breakfast brunch prices. My boyfriend and I came here yesterday around 1pm and that is the best time to come in my opinion. There was no wait and we were seated immediately. We ordered very quickly after being seated. I ordered Mil's #3 (eggs, sausage or bacon, and two buttermilk pancakes) for $8.95 and my boyfriend ordered the country fried steak for $11.95. The pancakes were really good- probably the best part of my meal. The eggs and sausage tasted fine- no complaints there. They defiantly do not skimp on portion sizes here. I couldn't even finish my meal. I had to take one of the pancakes home for later. My boyfriend devoured his country fried steak. We both had big food comas afterwards. The service was excellent. We probably waited only 10 minutes or less for our food to come out since we came at a non-busy time. However, I can see this place getting really busy with more a wait during the early morning breakfast hour. While you are eating, you can see all the awards Mil's has won. They have won the Best of Milpitas every year since 2003 from what I could see. Cheap, great food, and great service- we will defiantly be back to try more entrees! read more

Place was busy but we were immediately seated and had our orders taken as outside seating is much quicker than indoor seating. It didn't take long for the food to be brought for a Sunday breakfast, and I enjoyed the kindness of the staff. I ordered the All Meat Omelette. There was definitely more meat than egg and was more filling than I thought. Hot chocolate, toast, fries, hash browns, sausages, and regular eggs are also very good. Mil's Diner is one of the best diners/breakfast areas to eat at, and I definitely recommend it! read more

Breakfast started out with either Country Way or Black Bear diner in Fremont, my two choices for a before breakfast with two co-workers. One of my co-workers found Mil's diner on Yelp and said we should go there. I played it safe and ordered the eggs and corned beef hash. It was good I must admit, three eggs with the corned beef hash. Nothing special but they didn't botch it up with runny eggs. My two co-workers ordered the scramble and it was alot to eat with too much cheddar cheese. They both requested take out boxes and walked out with food coma. Extensive menu featuring six special plus a large assortment of omelettes. Reasonably priced with good service. read more

Cute little diner with pretty good home style breakfast food. It's right across the street from Black Bear Diner, so my brother and I chose this place since we've been to Black Bear enough time. The wait was about 30 minutes on a Sunday morning, which is average wait time. My brother got the everything scramble, which he quickly got sick of because the meat pieces were so big compared to the eggs and hash portions. It looked good though. I got a classic bacon, sausage and egg with hash browns and pancakes. The pancakes were a little rubbery, which was disappointing because it smelled so good, but maybe it was the waffles. Fairly priced breakfast that fills you up. Was it worth the wait? Nah. read more

Had this place bookmarked even before we moved to Milpitas. Finally got a chance of trying it over the weekend. The place was just a mile away from our place. After reading the previous reviews I was anticipating a long wait but we got our table in just 5 minutes. The place seemed quite popular among the locals. Food Mediterranean Omelette 4/5 It was from the weekend special. I subsisted whole eggs with only egg whites. Omelette came with a side of hash brown and wheat toast. I didn't like the cheese on top but overall the omelette was yummy. Had perfect mediterranean flavor and sausage was cooked and very well seasoned. I think the star of the plate was the hash. It was so crispyyy !! Just the way I like it. Make your own Omelette 5/5 My husband made his own omelette. He selected beef as his protein and it was super juicy and just yum !!! He really enjoyed it !! It also came with a side of hash and wheat toast. French Toast with Bacon 3/5 Only reason I am not giving this entree a 5 star is because it was a huge plate for a kid's meal. It would have been difficult for me and my husband to finish the whole thing. The toast was delicious, I didn't like the bacon it was over cooked. Overall, We really enjoyed the food. The service was prompt and the servers were really kind and friendly. I will definitely be back again to try more things from the menu. read more

The food here was good. We arrived around late morning on a Sunday, so we expected the breakfast rush and didn't mind waiting for our table. However, it took a very long time to receive our order after ordering. Luckily weren't in a rush. Our server was friendly and refilled our drinks often. This place definitely has an old school diner atmosphere, which is fun when going out for breakfast. I wouldn't say it was anything phenomenal, but we had a good time. read more
