What a cute spot in a cute town. When you see the pink house you know you are there. We visited on a quiet morning so it gave us time to look around. Cute decor, vintage photos, a separate bar and a back deck, created a cozy feel. Our server was so kind. She was friendly and chatted with us about this small town and made suggestions for things to do in Dubuque. She explained that the restaurant was named after the owner's daughter. Sweet. Warning: the portions are huge. It's very easy to over order. I bet everyone leaves with a doggie bag. My friend had biscuits & gravy. I had veggie hash. We were both very happy with our choices. I loved this little diner for so many reasons. I will definitely visit again the next time I'm nearby.

Ham & cheese omelette with hash browns.

Just had an amazing breakfast at Millie's Diner. One of the best pancakes I've ever had. Wait staff was friendly & the place was clean. Definitely worth a visit & I'm going back next time I'm in the area!

This place was definitely one of the best restaurants I've eaten at In awhile the food was amazing and the portions were incredible would recommend the captain crunch French toast and fried pork tenderloin Millie's diner is a great place to mark on you map

Two egg, bacon, sausage, toast and hash browns

Great find! Just passing through and found this nice little local cafe. The service was very pleasant and accommodating when my husband asked to sub a small side of biscuits and gravy for his pancake. The hash browns were a bit mushy for my taste, but the pancake was awesome. Well worth the stop!

Look at the size of this pancake

This was the first time stopping in since changing to Millie's. Sunday morning and they were understandingly busy. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive despite running her head off keeping up with other tables. We got our food and couldn't believe the amount they put on a plate and it was all excellent tasting food. Forget the chain restuarants and go to a small town diner. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Pancakes are huge and wonderful!

Great little spot! Fantastic selection. Family atmosphere and awesome staff. Every time we go to Platteville we have to stop. Huge helpings...

We stopped in this wonderful little dinner on our way across country ! The food was fresh and just delicious. The owner came out and spoke to us - he's kind and engaged in his diner. #wewillbeback

Recently, some close friends, my wife and I drove over to Dubuque for a weekend getaway. We love…read morefarm-to-table restaurant concepts and in-city dining, so we thought Convivium would be an ideal spot to have breakfast on our first day in town. As great as this place could (if not should) be, it will never reach it's potential with the lousy customer service that we experienced. Why do I say this? Read on Yelper. We arrive for breakfast around 9:45 am on Saturday. There was a little bit of a line, which is to be expected at any well known breakfast/brunch establishment, right? The young lady working the register asked if we wanted to pick a table outside, handed us four menus and told us that someone would be out there to help us shortly. We sat at an empty, yet still dirty with plates from the last customers, table that was in the shade. Annnnnd we waited. As staff came out to attend to other customers sitting in the same patio area, the four of us sat there waiting for water, coffee, a smile... heck even an acknowledgement that we were there would have been nice. Seriously, if the Invisible Man was real and sitting at the table, he probably would have had a better chance of being noticed by the servers working that morning. We ended up busing our own table because no staff would bother to do it - I'm very serious. Nearly 20 minutes pass. As another couple comes into the patio, sits down and gets near immediate service with their drink orders, we had it! We entered the restaurant to find out what the problem is for such terrible service?!? The tall, head service member (did not catch her name) had an attitude for sure with her question "Did one of us seat you?" and we answered that "No, your host teammate told us to grab the table." She damn near rolled her eyes. Finally, lightening struck... someone showed up to give us water, wipe the table, and take our order. But don't get your hopes up that this was the end of bad service. Regrettably, it was not. We waited nearly 25 more minutes to get our order of eggs, potatoes, bacon, and sausage. Tough order for a breakfast place, don'tcha think? Out comes the food... without utensils to eat with. 4 mins of watching your food get cold motivated us to good inside and get our own utensils. As we did, the head member walks out with the items. Now - let's shift to the one positive part of the experience and that of course is the food. To show you that I am a reasonable reviewer, I will tell you that the meal was very tasty, cooked to order, and satisfying (especially when you're starving!). When I said at the beginning that this place can be great, the food is the reason why. After a Friday night of fun, a place like Convivium is just what you want for a Saturday breakfast before an afternoon of NCAA College Football - you know what I mean? But until management decides to hold the staff accountable for this terrible customer service, Convivium will be closed in less than 5 years (my prediction). Read some of the other reviews... we share the same general opinion. And this is coming from someone that values restaurant concepts like this one. Get it together before its too late, Convivium.

What a disappointment. Yelp usually leads me to amazing spots, but this was a fail…read more I loved the concept and the cool vibe of the place but the food and the service were lacking the same luster. My dad, sister, and I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. My sister enjoyed her chicken pesto panini but Dad found his pulled pork to be dry and bland. I ordered broccoli cheese soup with sourdough toast. The soup was absolutely disgusting. It was so thick, overcooked, and tasted like it had been on a back burner for three days straight. Not to be gross, but it looked like congealed dog vomit. When I mentioned to our server, she was very condescending. I would like to try again and hopefully it was just a tough day.

This sandwich shop and coffee bar has a fun industrial and vintage charm, and plenty of seating throughout the location. The location was also well lit and airy, and I loved the exposed brick walls and fun eclectic frames along the walls. The service was also excellent and the girls who worked here were so sweet and helpful! My boyfriend and I both got the reuben and our friend got a chicken wrap. Both of them said they enjoyed their meals, and I thought my reuben was excellent and much preferred to typical road trip fast food stops. It was genuinely the perfect stop midway from Nebraska to Chicago, and a nice opportunity to stretch our legs and have a refreshing and filling meal. I would definitely recommend to try Big Bill's!

They handled the crowd well and kept up their smiles and patience as they worked through what was a never ending line the entire time we were there - at least an hour! unfortunately, my first two options for breakfast were already sold out at 9 am so I went with the apple butter and bacon panini. Not bad; it was a nice contrast between sweet and salty, but I sure would have liked to try something more substantial. My iced chai with honey foam was gone in an instant. A little on the sweet side but refreshing and a good chai flavor. There is a decent amount of comfortable seating - towards the back is more of that coffee shop vibe you might be looking for.
