I think this place is cozy and the waitress we had was really friendly. It's your regular/typical diner with decent food at decent prices.

I've gone here a few times but it's always for breakfast. It definitely has a diner feel to it.. soft red chairs and nothing fancy about it.. which was fine with me. There's nothing to "wow" about when it comes to the food but it's a better choice than Denny's. I usually order an mushroom/spinach omelette which comes with hash browns and toast. Omelettes are big and fluffy and the hash browns are perfectly toasted without too much grease. The service is usually on top of their game. Today my friend and I got seated right away, immediately asked if we wanted coffee, and they gave us the menu. We ordered and got our food within 10 minutes, tops. The waitress was really attentive and quick, and they made sure my coffee cup was always full.. which is always a good thing on my part. read more

Not bad at all. I had their poached eggs over corned beef hash w/ hash browns and english muffin - the usual. Friendly waitresses, food was decent, price is a bit higher than average - about $12 for the plate +coffee. Would I go again? Probably not. Omega Diner is closer to my place and better IMO. read more

Huge portions, decent selection, mediocre diner food. I love that they have RC cola. It is one of the only places in Milpitas that aren't overly packed during the weekday lunch hour. read more

This place is great on breakfast. Don't skip the bacon; that's the best part. I did wonder why I ordered two eggs for myself and one for my infant daughter, and she got more. Also wondered at the lack of butter on the toast. They are more than generous with the hash browns, which are very good. I come here because it is decent, convenient for friends, and there is hardly ever a wait. Sometimes practicality wins out! read more

Unfortunately a 2-star for service. Food is delicious but no matter how good, no one should have to wait nearly an hour for breakfast omelettes...came at 12pm and food came out at 12:50pm. They obviously need more chefs, more waiters or just better management. Only then would they receive a 5-star. The family sitting next to ours wanted to get up and leave. Waitress had to come out twice and apologize that food is coming soon. My bf gave them til 1pm before he gets up and walks. This is my 2nd time here. The first time about 2mos ago was a long wait too but not as bad as today. Smh...such a waste of a good place to eat if they can't get better speedier service. Hope it gets better. read more

The food we had was decent. The chicken fried steak though was kind of like a frisbee. I know that sounds weird but that describes the steak itself. The waitress was really nice. I mean REALLY NICE... But man, it was extremely hard to order from her. I wanted the Chicken Fried Steak, over medium eggs, white toast, sausage and bacon. The sausage and bacon don't come with Chicken Fried Steak. I would have assumed that by asking for bacon and sausage, she could have just made it happen. I explained that however she can make Chicken Fried Steak, over medium eggs, white toast, eggs and bacon work, I'll take it. My friend said "I'll have the same thing, but with sourdough and bacon." She clearly didn't understand "the same thing" so he tried clarifying by saying "over medium, sourdough toast, bacon" -- she brings 1 Chicken Fried Steak out, gives it to my friend, puts a plate of sausage and bacon in the middle of the table, gives me a plate of eggs, toast and bacon. I handed him the plate of eggs/bacon/toast and picked up my Chicken Fried Steak without the bacon/sausage... but where was my friend's CFS? She checked on us and I had her clarify that we both received Chicken Fried Steak. She was really confused. She made it alight in the end with the bill as all she really needed to do was add the chicken fried steak and a side of bacon... but it wasn't a good first impression, especially with all of the 4 and 5 star reviews. I will rate this a 4 star, based on my experience. I will try to make my order less complicated when I visit again (even though I didn't think it was that complicated). I also can't speak for the experience I could have in the future, which may be better with a different waitress. read more

Went here today for the first time because me and my sister were so sick of IHOP and Denny's and even black bear. I'm surprised that after living in milpitas for 14 years, today was the first time I tried it out. The staff was friendly. You get greeted as soon as you walk in. A server walks around and makes sure your coffee cup is always full which is pretty awesome. The portions are big and the food is flavorful. I enjoyed this place and I think you will too! read more

Their pizza omelet is off the heezy fo sheezy.

This morning would be my second time here and i'm sure there will be a third, fourth and so on especially since it's just a 2 minutes drive from my house. Waited a while before got seated though it's understandable since it's a saturday morning. Food took about 20 minutes, got a little upset but once it came out, all that wait was totally worth it. Their portions are pretty big but everything was delicious. read more

See all

Nice and friendly atmosphere. Food is reasonably price and delicious. Service is pretty good as well, which make me want to eat there again. A solid 4 stars. Went there again today. Tried their corn beef after reading someone's review. Agree with all she commented about the corn beef. It includes hash brown, 3 eggs, and toast. Yummy! read more

Good quality!! Very nice menu selection. The portions are plentiful just like I would make in my kitchen.

Great food, good service and we would come back again... wait we did. We came back for breakfast again the next day!

A perfect American dine, ever! The staff was quite friendly. You get a lot of food for a very reasoanble price. I believe the venue is run by a family who really knows what they are doing. The obly problem is the crowd. You may get to wait a lot in the queue. read more

Probably the best omelets around. If you're like me and you hate dry dinky omelets then this is the place for you. There omelets are always huge and fluffy . This place would be an absolute 5 star if they only had a good salsa to go ontop but even without the help of a little spice there omelets are still great! The staff is nice and always attentive. If your looking for a good omelet then this is the place. I've maily gone to Mil's for their breakfast items so I can speak for lunch items. read more

Looking for a breakfast place that wasn't Denny's or IHOP. Found this place on yelp and so glad I did. We came at 9 am day after Christmas, not busy at first. Good service, good food and great prices. I order a make yourself omelet. You get to pick 4 ingredients; comes with a huge serving, paired with a gigantic hash brown and toast for about $9+. Not greasy, cooked perfectly... looking forward to going back. read more

The hashbrowns were alright.. I was super excited for them since everyone else seemed to hype them up in the review. I think the pancake is what made my day! They were so fluffy and delicious and the fact that you can get it as one of the options instead of toast.. for no extra charge.. is amazing. The diner itself was a bit chilly because I was directly under a vent though. I just got eggs, hashbrown, and sausage... my friend got the chicken fried steak which seemed alright... but I'll come back to try something else and get more pancakes! :) read more

Try the Waffles!!! This is a hole in the wall old fashioned diner. Not much on the diet plan but everything tastes great!

Great "find" in California - typical diner with cheaper food with big portions. Had the breakfast with a co-worker before an all day meeting. Didn't need lunch! Good daily specials especially the omlette. read more

Nice breakfast alternative to the typical Denny's or IHOP. I got the biscuits and gravy (yum!) with scrambled eggs and bacon and hash browns on the side. Portions are big and service was fast and friendly. Our coffee was refilled multiple times without asking. Might go for the country potatoes instead next time. read more

This place will only get 5 stars because of my experiences i have always had every time i go there and have Teri as my waitress!! I am a picky eater (I know sounds bad) however she ALWAYS gets it right!! I love the time and effort she puts forth in ensuring a GREAT atmosphere every time I go there! I love the food Louie is the owner and boy can he cook!! Everyone always says Hello to me and address me by my first name... sometimes you could tell when Roula (owners wife) is having a bad day because you could feel the tension in the air. ( on those days i try to make my stay there very short) Other than that I really recommend the place its a great family environment and the food is wonderful! I must point out if you want to leave the place with a smile on your face you MUST AK FOR TERI she makes sure your spirits are lifted and leave with a full tummy and a happy heart! read more

Nice small diner food is always fresh and has browns are always crispy. I had the pork chops and eggs, Have to tell you the portions are very generous here. read more

There is something about waking up and going to a diner and having a good crummy cup of coffee i seriously love. This place is friendly and welcoming. The food is average maybe a bit above for a diner. I always get the ground beef omelet. There is an older white lady who works here with dirty blonde hair and glasses. She is the best. She is the reason we eat here minus it being right around te corner from where I live. I'd like to give this place 3 stars cause of here but I'm not going to. However today we came to eat and we had a different server. A younger lady 30s Latina lady. Curly long brown hair or wavey. A bit over weight. She was horrible. Seriously 5 seconds after being handed menus she asked if we were ready to order. My bf hadn't opened his yet even. She came around about 2 min later and asked again then she neglected us. I tried to be polite and say thank you and smile but she ignored us. Rude service. Not the best in milpitas. They have a note up asking to vote them the best. They are not cause if they were they wouldn't have such shitty service. Ive had better and more consistent service At black bear cafe down the street. Our server today I believe her name is ninette at least that's what her note pad said. It seems like She hates her job. She doesn't smile. Sounds like a personal problem. The bidder who is always here is way better at being nice and his service is on point. He was the one who noticed we were ready to order without us saying anything and told our server. The food could be less greasy. Not happy with this visit at all read more

I came here on a Saturday morning and surprisingly it wasn't packed. You can tell they have attracted quite a few regulars here though by the familiarity some of the customers had with the wait staff. I ordered the low cal omelette and pancakes along with a hamburger steak. I would say this place is comparable to other diners around the area in regards to food and price. Service is efficient and they are quick to fill up your drinks. read more

Breakfast is a big deal for me. So I'm a pretty harsh critic. This place though just does it right. It's the way every old school diner should be. My coffee cup was never empty and never got a chance to be cold. My waitress was prompt, professional and yet very personable. The food was timed just right. And I give mad respect for restaurants that use FRESH hash browns NOT frozen. The portions are huge and the process decent. You can see the owner watching everyone work and conversing with customers. I have a huge respect for this place. I will be coming back. read more

My hubby grew up in Milpitas, so when we were looking for a place to eat breakfast in Milpitas, he recommended this place. I had never been but was willing to try it. When we walked in, the place seemed like a normal breakfast diner. They had the rows of red booths, the chairs at the counter, and a few tables outside. A plus was that there was no wait and it was about 9:30. That's pretty rare for a Sunday morning at a place like this. Our waiter was really nice and was attentive. Filling up our waters and coffees. Our food came out without any issues. The food was a lot, as is the case with most places like this. But it's pretty good. I had my usual Denver omelet with hash browns and wheat toast. No complaints. I do like that they automatically bring you a side of salsa with the omelet. Overall, pretty good. read more

Today was a day just looking for a Diner not sure why but yes!! So we saw Mil's on yelp and gave it a shot. I ordered the NY steak and got the all meat omelet and pancakes.. SO my first impression was DAMMM big O servings!! I finished and it tasted awesome!! The only reason for 4 stars was due to the feeling of lacking in service.. but will come back!! read more

The food was really good and the service was fair. The main problem I had was that there were flies all over the restaurant. There were so many flying around I felt like I was spending more time swatting them away than enjoying the food. And the funny part was that I sat nowhere near the entrance. The flies ruined my experience. I would order from here again, but would probably just order for take out and enjoy it elsewhere. read more

I don't understand all of the positive reviews. The service is great, but the food is less than satisfactory. It was a huge disappointment; I couldn't even finish my plate. read more

Only been here once, but was very impressed with the food quality and customer service. I am confident I will be coming back more often and definitely will recommend this place to others. Skip Denny's or IHOP, and enjoy a real breakfast/diner. Specials every day of the week as well as daily lunch specials. Food tastes great and is actually seasoned to enjoy. Servers and waitstaff are very friendly and will never ignore you when walking by. Every employee here smiles too! :) read more

Great breakfast spot. We were looking for somewhere to eat and of course the bigger more chain places were packed because it's Saturday so I looked on Yelp and found this place. The food was amazing and big portioned and service was awesome. I'll most definitely be coming back. =) read more

The waitress and staff were all very friendly. They seemed to be happy working there, which was a good sign. The food was just so so though. They won the best-of award many years in a roll, but I think if you compare their food to most of the diners in the Bay Area in general, it's just average or perhaps slightly below. read more

First time going here and will be my last. Came here with my family and first thing I see on the table is tip/cash the previous guess left behind. Looking at 2 other empty tables are also tip/cash which is weird. Are they doing this on purpose to tell us that we should leave cash tip? Anyways, service was fast which is good. However, the guy asked us what we wanted to drink. I got an orange juice. When it came out, it was a small size which is tiny for $2.25. I would have paid $1 more for a large which is what everyone was getting. So I asked if there was refill and he said no. No problem at first until he came back 5 minutes later to lecture us about how no other restaurant will ever give free refill on orange juice or any juice for that matter. So rude. Then a lady took our orders. Got one of the order wrong and asked us if we wanted to just go ahead and eat it. We said no. Why would we? Waited another 10 mins for the wrong order. Worst service ever. Won't be coming back. read more

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! NEVER COMING BACK AFTER coming here for over 15 years. I'm a Milpitian and moved to the East Bay a few years ago but Mil's was always a weekly spot until today! I drove 25 mins to get Sunday breakfast and when I arrive they say 15 min wait but then after 10 mins they seat people before me! I called them out and they all just blame each other instead of providing better customer service. They didn't care to fix the situation, instead their answer was, anywhere you go you'll have to wait!" Customer service sucks here! You lost a faithful customer and hopefully more! read more

Saw a big cockroach on the floor here while having brunch with my girlfriend. When it got closer, we notified the waiter. If there's one in the dining area, can't imagine how many cockroaches are in the kitchen! read more

My BF and I went here to go somewhere OTHER than flames and after reading other yelp reviews decided to try it out. the place was packed so we sat at the counter (no biggie to us), and got served drinks within 2 seconds so as other reviews have stated the service is really top notch! The menu was a straight forward American diner menu. The food arrived quickly and was good. I had the Joe's special and BF had the corned beef hash. The decor is iffy but i think they seemed to be in the middle of painting as there is a line of painters blue tape around the walls -classic! It was a good experience and the place was busy the whole time. We both said we would def. be back. For Sure! read more

I found this place by accident, trying to find places on yelp to eat near my home for breakfast that weren't chain restaurants, and this is awesome!! Not a hole in the wall (too clean ha ) , but i like hole in the walls with good food at cheap prices!! I noticed the bottle of ouzo above the cashier and heard the owners talking and knew this was a Greek owned restuarant.....its not like Denny's serves souvlaki for breakfast right?? After church, we were trying to decide on where to eat for breakfast, lunch or brunch... and my husband remembered that i mentioned to him some time back that we should try this place. It was around noon but we got seated right away in this bustling restaurant. I had ordered the hamburger steak and eggs, my husband the corned beef hash and eggs, and my daughter the kids pancakes. My hamburger steak was HUGE.... if you gave at least 2, maybe 3 hamburger buns, i could have fed two more people....the eggs were cooked perfectly and the same w/the hash browns...actually browned and crispy, the way i like it.....those chain places like denny's across the street are in such a rush job, my has browns are usually barely brown and still almost kinda raw.... my daughter enjoyed her food.... ate all 4 pieces of her bacon and started eating the rest of my hamburger steak too. Between us we had enough leftover to eat as breakfast the next day, yummm... at least now i know next time i go, if i get the same dish, i'll skip on ordering my daughter a kids' meal and split mine w/her.... or maybe split w/my daughter and husband and just have them order a side of eggs or toast or something..ha great food, i can't wait to come back next time to try something else on the menu.... read more

Keeping the diner alive and well! We have had our morning breakfast meetings there and this is the place in Milpitas for breakfast. The american style diner tucked away in an Asian strip mall in an Asian city. The waitress' are great. It is like Mel's Diner and if you get out of line you may be told to "Kiss my grits!". The chicken fried steak is great and too big to finish most days. The omelettes are huge and too big to finish most days. The prices are very reasonable and we have yet to have a bad meal or bad service. We have never tried anything but breakfast, because after eating breakfast, you are full the rest of the day. We'll be back!! read more

Just love this place. Comfort food, excellent service, with that real diner feel. Great for lunch. Recommend the soup.

Mil's is like going to your grandma's or a favorite relatives' house for comfort food, love and attention. This morning I had the 3 egg special. There were 4 huge pieces of bacon on my plate and the hashbrowns were amazing. The service is impeccable. I love it. read more
