What's good: the service was friendly and the blintzes were tasty. What wasn't good: Presentation lacking, coffee was weak, bacon poorly cooked, worst potato pancakes. Honestly not a very good breakfast at all, my husband said his Apple French toast was like a brick. There are too many great breakfast spots out there and this place is too mediocre to even think about going back. Sorry Millie's, we had very high hopes for you. read more

Pretty good breakfast, love the vibe and atmosphere was awesome. Pancakes and waffles delicious. Syrup was served warm which is always a bonus. read more

Excellent food and service. A must visit when in town!!! Will be back and we will bring friends!!!

Let me say this. All I wanted was good scrambled eggs. Now I know you are saying what? Well the back story is two days in a row I have visited breakfast joints.(first watch and 5th street diner in Phoenix ). The eggs were terrible and frankly over priced 4 eggs and two Sausage Pattie's $23.00 at 5th street, and $25.00 for the same terrible eggs at first watch. By the way at first watch the sausage was great. Just to be fair. This morning while travelers for work in Tucson, I chose Millie's. And all I really wanted was good scrambled eggs and 4 sausage links. Not over cooked and dried out, not super greasy just good eggs! So I asked my server for the same breakfast I had attempted to eat for the last two days. Not expecting much and a little discouraged. Out came the most beautiful plate of scrambled eggs with a little cheese on top, and 6 of the best sausage links I have had in a while. For those that like scrambled eggs the kind grandma made when you went to visit. The service was phenomenal. The restaurant was super clean and other than the fact that it is a littler hard to find, WOW. Now think about this . That long winded review for good scrambled eggs. Thank you very much Laura and a special thanks to Jessica for cooking those beautiful eggs. So when you visit Millie's ask to sit in Laura's section. She will definitely take care of you! read more

Millie's Pancake Haus - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

very very relaxed to surroundings, coupled with a spattering of different and charming decor. I adore the corn cakes. They are simply a pancake with Cole kernels of corn in them, and they are delicious even without butter or syrup.! my go to favorite almost every time. You have got to visit this place during the Christmas holidays. We just decorated up in the most charming manner I could go every day. I love it so much.

Quaint and quiet. That would be reason to go again, and the food was obviously made from good quality products. We shared the Pacific omelette (typically known as a Florentine) and a German Apple Pancake (typically known as a Dutch Baby.) Both were good, but sadly, for the price and size, not good enough for us to go back again. What was really good was the server. I'm sorry I didn't get her name, as she was really helpful when we were seated. When she asked what she could get us, I asked for a bandaid, as I had taken a severe fall in their driveway (which is riddled with tons of potholes!) Actually, the driveway / property belongs to a consortium (?) She brought a bandaid, an antiseptic wipe, and some anitbiotic ointment. So nice! She suggested we go to what we presume is the property management office, where we spoke with Casey (spelling?) He was also very nice and of course appeared very concerned. He had us show him the hole and said he was just speaking with the asphalt company an hour before. Whether true or not, he was very solicitous and assured me that I could come back at a later date, if "the damage" appeared to be worse than we were thinking. (I fell, hard, on the knee I just had replaced last April.) Overall, beware of your footing; the food was tasty, but pricey; and the people were easy to deal with. read more

Best breakfast place in town. Service is great. Prices are reasonable. Recommend it to anyone who likes a great breakfast.

I highly recommend Millie's! It's one of the best breakfast I've had in Tucson in the last 18 years. I had a traditional egg white veggie omelette, toast and hashbrowns. Not greasy at all!!! made to perfection. Definitely a place I will frequent read more

If you want a good breakfast place, please skip Millie's. The only thing they have going for them is the quaint old house atmosphere in Pinnacle Peak. Arrived first thing on a Sunday morning and they weren't busy. This food was bland, cold, and overpriced. They charge for every little thing - charged us $1 for a spoonful of sour cream. Coffee cups were small and for $3 I expect better service and refills to be flowing. Hash browns were frozen and not cooked properly - not seasoned and dry. Eggs were rubbery. German pancake was cold. To top it off the service was terrible; waitress never came back to refill drinks and the hostess even came to just hand us a check without saying a word. For $30 there are so many better breakfast options in Tucson. read more

Great customer service. Best breakfast I have had in a while. Fun decor that fits in with trail dust town.

We enjoyed our food and visit. Our waitress was very friendly and kind. It's simple food that tastes great. read more

Went to Millie's Pancake House Yesterday, with a group of over 40 people, for a special event. Even though the Restaurant was very crowded and Clean as well as the Restrooms, the Waitresses did an excellent job and get 5 stars. I ordered the Millie's special breakfast which came with 2 eggs Sunny-side up, 2 turkey patties, a whole Belgian Waffle, and ordered a side of Hash Browns, and coffee. My Significant Other, ordered the Avocado Eggs Benedict, which came with Hash Browns and she got Hot Chocolate. My meal was awesome and filling. The Waffle was huge and was about 1+ inch thick. The eggs were perfect and it has been a long time since a restaurant that I have gone to, has cooked the eggs correctly. The way that the waitress described the size of the Waffle, I was expecting a Waffle about half the size. The Hash Browns were the way we like them. The coffee was good. My Significant other liked her meal. But she thought that the Hot Chocolate was mediocre at best. The only complaint that I have is that they had white processed salt instead of Himalayan Pink Salt and they had processed white sugar and not Raw sugar. Next time I go to Millie's I will bring my own Pink Salt and Raw sugar. There was a large selection items in the Drink Menu as well as Milk Shakes. read more

Great ambiance and location inside trail dust town, however the food could use a little more love. I really enjoyed the food when it was located across the street, but now it seems it's lost that loving homemade feeling. I understand it was a busy Sunday, but breakfast was served cold. The waitress never came by to ask me about my food or asked if I wanted more hot water for my tea or ketchup for my eggs. Sometimes it's the attention to the little things that give it's ambiance five stars. read more

Millie's Pancake Haus - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

On this side it town for a mid morning appointment, so decided to have a solo breakfast. Have not been to Millie's in years. Probably well before they move into trail dust town and when they use to have a 2nd location on Oracle Like most breakfast places on the weekend I expected this to be crowded at 8:30 am. But it was sadly almost empty. Maybe a sign, but I was inside and now committed for some pancakes The decor is kitschy and maybe country. Lots of tables and booths. They also have patio seating Service was excellent. No complaints Coffee was expensive at $3, but so much better than prep and pasty I didn't see German pancakes on the menu, so I opted for Swedish and side of eggs and bacon. Food came out quickly (with no customers they kitchen must be on their game) Eggs were flavorless and need lots of salt and pepper. Swedish pancakes were also lacking any flavor and rubbery. Almost like they heated them up in the microwave Sadly not a place to come back to for me read more

Very yummy food, very cool old lookinh diner, inside of a cool old western town. Definitely will be back.

We love Millies! The atmosphere is great Service is great Food is great ! And cant beat kitties walking around being adorable! read more

I had high hopes for a great buttermilk, pancake and cuppa coffee. The coffee was lukewarm and the pancakes when it came out were gummy, send them back with the comment that they were under done. Second try came out worse than the first. The really sad thing is that the nice waitress said that the owner was actually doing the cooking. If that's the case he needs to hire a chef. I did everything I could do to keep from channeling my inner Gordon Ramsay while I was there. It's Tucson go get a Breakfast burrito. It wasn't the servers fault. read more

I am from Illinois and we went on a family vacation. We decided that we wanted to try Millie's Pancake Haus for breakfast to see what they have. When we got in, we were immediately seated and greeted by friendly staff. The amount of time we spent waiting for food only took 15 minutes which is very reasonable. When we ate our food, I knew that they did a fantastic job making it. Overall, we had a great experience and I recommend you to try Millie's Pancake Haus. read more

Always great breakfast at Millie's! Wonderful eggs Benedict, potato pancakes and crepes. Always a good experience.

Had a good breakfast at Millie's. Natalie was our waitress- super prompt and friendly.

We had omelets and a Belgian waffle. Both were delicious and large portions, we both took 1/2 of our omelets and our hash browns home. Cute little setting and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Would recommend trying this place for breakfast if you're in the area. read more

Millie's is the first restaurant we dined in since the COVID-19 pandemic started in March 2020. We give them an A grade for providing a safe dining experience. All of their employees wore face covering. Tables were a safe distance apart. The tables and chairs were scrupulously cleaned as soon as a patron left. And, as always, their breakfasts are wonderful. read more

First time customer! I had the schnitzel with the Hunter's gravy and salad with the creamy garlic ranch. Can I say YUMMY!!!! Everything from the bread with spreads to the amazing schnitzel was fabulous! The cute server with streaked hair was very helpful and offered great suggestions. Can't wait to go back for a crêpe or blitz breakfast! read more

Rose our server was great! Very attentive yet not overbearing. Food was consistent as usual. Always clean and friendly. I've been coming here since shortly after they opened in 1982. Millie's is like old faithful, you can't go wrong here. read more

It was ok. Nothing special here. The ambiance was nice. But food was average. Service was good.

A very attractive old school style breakfast restaurant with quick, friendly service and very good pancakes. The buttermilk pancakes were light and delicious. The pecan pancakes got rave reviews in my party. The potato pancakes were ok. The Denver omelette seemed pretty standard. Reasonable prices. Recommended. read more

Millie's Pancake Haus - The ambiance - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This is not a review but a love letter. Love for food, service, venue. In a time when newer and more hip breakfast joints are popping up across Tucson, when old favorites are closing or losing sight of what made them great (im looking at you Omar's Highway Cafe), discovering Millie's Pancake Haus was an experience that resonated with me. Ive been to Trail Dust Town and seen this Pancake Haus but never at an hour they were open. By chance, i was showing a friend the area and it was during business hours. The staff have great energy with customers and with one another. We love the vintage yet homey feel of the place. But the food was the star, nailing all the basics. The traditional flavor, the price point, everything came together to deliver an absolutely divine pancake experience. I implore everyone to come experience this tucked away breakfast experience if you havent, and return is you have. Ive seen public facing breakfast places packed all hours and this place deserves to be just as popular. read more

Don't order the Schnitzel, it was dry and tough to cut even though it was thin and I used a steak knife. Spaetzel wasn't much better, tough and doughy. Waitress brought soup out with dinner instead of before like with my partner's salad. Our party of four all agreed we would not come back. read more

I had the chicken fried steak special. The steak was over cooked and dry. The gravy was bland. The hash browns were old and not hot. All this for 15$. There are better breakfast spots. read more

We have lived in Tucson for the last eight months and we had never tried this place. Now we know why. It wasn't terrible but nothing was well-made. You would think that if you name a place pancake house that at least the pancakes would be tasty... Which they weren't. absolutely the most underwhelming experience. read more

Very disappointing. Ordered eggs and bacon. The eggs were rubbery, the toast cold. The bacon never arrived. The server asked another server to "go find his bacon." Nothing. After a few minutes my server asked a busboy to do the same. I saw him walk into the kitchen and 10 seconds later come out and walked out in the other direction from my table empty handed. I used to bring out of town visitors here, never again. The place has really gone down hill. read more

Millie's Pancake Haus has been around since the 80s but something different is the new location in Trail Dust Town. Even though they only moved from across the street, the menu favorites are still around. If you're feeling like getting the German pancake though def call ahead or be patient as it takes about 25 minutes to prepare. However, if you want something quicker than that there are def gems in the menu. We went here on a Saturday morning brunch and no waiting for tables, got seated and served food really fast. The interior is still as cozy and homey as before except they have more room and light now in this new building (which used to be the Dakota Cafe). The Russian blintzes were sooo good! So were the potato cakes. The blueberry pancakes were a bit underwhelming but with the other stuff we ordered it didn't even matter. Lastly, their prices for weekend brunch is still very much affordable. The only thing is I don't think they serve boozy brunch drinks but coffee suffices. Will def come back for the lingonberry and freshly baked breads next time! read more

They've moved across the street into Trail Dust Town which previously housed Dakota Cafe. We'd not been to the new location yet or since my last review a number of years ago. We did try twice. Once on a Sunday and we chose not to wait 45 minutes for a table. Another time we had a rare weekday off and went on a Monday... nope, closed on Mondays. So here it is Saturday morning and we try again. No wait and the place is not packed which, while talking to the staff, was pretty unusual. I re-read my last review and this visit was a complete one-eighty from the last time. We got incredibly quick and friendly service. The food was standard breakfast. Pancakes, sausage and eggs for my wife and a Pacific omelette with onions, mushrooms, cheese and spinach. I added bacon... because bacon is the most important meal of the day. My omelette was rolled and not folded. This made for getting a little of all the ingredients in every bite. It also made it just a tad on the dry side, which I solved with a generous dousing of Tabasco. I thought prices were pretty reasonable as the bill came to under $25, with tip. Now that we have re-discovered Millie's it won't be as long before our next visit. read more
