I love Milly's, the service could be better but they're usually pretty busy every time I've come in so I get it. The food is super good (if you like hot green chili though this may not be the best place). My boyfriend and I spent 27$ for the two of us to eat. And the proportions are really good. The food tasted amazing. This is definitely a new favorite spot for me. read more

So, is it hot enough for you? Well, here is a hot place we always enjoy visiting for some really, really good food. Join the boys and one girl from the VA Creative Writing Group as we once again show you what we enjoyed. Milly's has two locations, and frankly, the review can apply to either. But this time we revisited their location on Candelaria. Great food, excellent service, and an ambiance that will keep you coming back.

Always good! Great green chile. Perfect for breakfast or lunch. Service is usually attentive. Lots of regulars, so fun to watch all the interactions. Interior is solid diner and historical. read more

The food was good and fresh. Not a lot of egg or avocado (special ordered) in my burrito. No red or green asked or provided as promised by menu read more

Food was fine, if not in any way great tasting (green chile, eggs, toast, hash browns and a chicken fried steak), generously portioned or all that inexpensive. Not really how I remember Milly's from the old location. Service was pretty good, actually. And ambiance was what one would expect of a restaurant that caters to a diverse if regular-leaning crowd in Albuquerque. It's fine - but I won't be rushing back as I can think of three easily superior options in this area of the market. read more

My first visit to this establishment occurred on 08/29/2025. I had fasting blood work done to check my cholesterol and headed over. Anybody else out there like me? After your fasting bloodwork is drawn you splurge? Ha ha. Great parking available, parking lot pretty full indicating the popularity. To me this is diner style; good menu, lots of daily specials. Comfortable decor with good natural light. Friendly and cheerful staff. I had steak and eggs, with hash browns and sourdough toast and a large orange juice. The steak was cooked exactly to my requested medium rare, was tender and tasty. Eggs were scrambled spot on, and the hash browns were just right. Prices are excellent. As I was paying I noticed several pieces of pie in the display case. Another reason to return! read more

Everything was fine except the ambiance is too noisy wow. Our waitress was very attentive. And the food was well done. I think I like the location on Jefferson better. read more

Milly's is not in our 'hood, but it is back on our Saturday B'fast rotation....tasty chile, reasonable prices, and excellent service brought us back into the fold. Fabulous Crystal is the Saturday opener. She treated us like "regulars" on our second monthly visit, and it's obvious that she takes care of dozens of folks. We'll keep coming to enjoy Crystal's kind efficiency and the delicious and lovingly prepared breakfast dishes. Relaxed local diner vibe....Milly's rocks! read more

The specials don't have prices. The food's not as good, and the service is terrible. If you have the time, go to the Millie's on Jefferson , I consistently give them 5 stars . read more

Yum! I had heard great things about this place but hadn't had a chance to try it yet. They do have a very cute patio but it was way way too hot out to really check it out. Maybe next time! I had the veggie sandwich and the fries and the sandwich was great and the fries really hit the spot. It's funny because the parking lot was packed but inside wasn't terrible, plenty of street parking though, so not too bad as far as finding a spot in general. I also had a coffee and our server was great about making sure we had our refills and things as we needed them. This was a great place to have lunch with friends. The menu is huge, they serve breakfast and lunch all day - as they told me, if it's on the menu doesn't matter what time it is, you can have it. I will have to go back to try more things. Lots of sandwiches, more traditional breakfast like omelettes and such and then of course NM breakfasts. We did seem to miss the breakfast rush on the weekend which seemed to be just ending when we arrived. read more

Well folks, at the end of my meal came a piece of plastic from my enchiladas. I got up and went to the kitchen counter to show the cooks. After speaking to them the host noticed what I was doing, and I showed her and the customers she was talking to. She called my waitress, and she apologized and said she would tell the cooks. I said I already had. My meal was free but I gave her a $20 tip, and wished her a Happy Mother's Day. My last visit there they served me left over sausage from the AM. I was there after 2 PM. I can now kiss that place good-bye. read more

Milly's Sandwich Shop - WTF!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Best of all the Milly's! Freshly made when ordered, super delicious. The Greek salad with gyro meat is phenomenal. And I love the homemade dressing! We tried the chili cheese fries, and they were- amazing. Fresh from the frier and then smothered in yummy green chili (we picked green, red or Xmas was also an option). The ladies serving were busy! I don't think I saw any of them pause for a second (hope y'all are ok!) I absolutely will make the trip to go to this location over the others. It's just that much better! read more

Millys is a cute and easy breakfast and lunch spot, I'm giving 4 stars because I think they do what they set out to well. Caveat is I'm a vegetarian and ordered a breakfast entree Christmas style. The green chile ended up having meat in it! I haven't seen meat in chile dishes I've had prior, so that was a bummer. Once I noticed the meat I stopped eating, so didn't eat much. The bites I had were pretty plain in taste/nothing special. But service was friendly and the restaurant was comfortable. If I ate meat I'd go back, but I likely won't as a vegetarian. read more

Milly's breakfast and lunch is has a variety of breakfast offerings. My review is only of the Benedicts, nothing else. I want to let you know that I have a "top ten" list for Benedicts. #1 being the best and #10 not as good. I found Millys did make my top ten. They have a 4 and 5 star review in all categories . My rating is based on 3 weights : 70% = taste 20% = presentation 10% = price #1 - taste: They use Canadian bacon . I asked for soft poached eggs and was presented with soft to medium. The Hollandaise sauce was made from scratch in house, had a very pleasing, distinctive flavor and taste. The reason I review Eggs Benedict is because of the difference in the flavor of the Hollandaise sauce. It comes with breakfast potatoes and a fruit cup but I opt for their shredded hash browns. #2 -presentation : The presentation was good. #3-price: $12.29 is on the low side for Bennys with hash browns. Coffee for $3.29 a cup. It is hard to insert a new Benny into my top ten but because of the flavor this one was came in at #8. To see why I did this I suggest you try it for yourself. read more

When I arrived, I think the breakfast rush was just ending - the parking lot was full and the were only a couple empty tables. I still found a table right away. I ordered a burger with bacon, Swiss and avocado without a bun. The burger was really good, I would definitely order it again. I should have asked about the fries before ordering, but I didn't, and they were coated in something that was probably flour. Gluten free folks, beware! The were many other side choices and next time I'd choose differently. Service was friendly and as attentive as they could be in a full restaurant. By the time we finished it was settling down a bit. The little restroom was clean and stocked. read more

This is an adequate breakfast restaurant. We went to the candelabra location since it's has more parking room compared to the one in Jefferson that barely has any parking space. We orders burritos to go and I would say I was disappointed in the quality of the burrito. Nonetheless the green Chile salsa that accompanied the burrito was above average than any breakfast joint that I have encountered in this town. I will be returning to savor more dishes with this green Chile sauce. Prices are average. Customer service can definitely do some brushing up. The ambiance overall felt like it was missing a joyful atmosphere overall. read more

In my ongoing quest to find good lunch spots near my workplace, my husband and I visited Milly's on Candelaria. It's a busy spot, but we were able to find a table right away. I ordered gyros without onions and a Greek salad, and my husband had the Milly Philly with a side of potato salad. Mine was delicious - a nice soft pita filled with delicious gyro meat and tomato slices, topped with tasty tzatziki. The salad had crisp lettuce, tomato, feta, Kalamata olives, and pepperoncini. I appreciated that the dressing was served on the side so I could add what I wanted. Dh's sandwich was very good; I didn't try the potato salad, but I enjoyed my sandwich bite. Our server was friendly and efficient and helped us get in and out of the restaurant promptly. If you're in the area and looking for a good lunch place, Milly's is an excellent choice. read more

So disappointing after many years of enjoying this restaurant. The prices have gone way up, the portions smaller and you get charged even when they only put a tablespoon of green chili. We won't be back, you lost a long time family of customers. Beware and bring a boat load of money and something to eat cuz you won't get it here. SAD read more

I was so excited to try this place. Sadly I left underwhelmed. When you walk in its confusing. There's no sign that says seat yourself but since there's no hostess that's what I did. I drew the short straw on waitresses. She took an order from a 4 top next to me then came and took my order for the SW skillet. I was alone. The 4 top food came out really fast so I figured mine would be out quickly. 20 minutes later I finally got the waitresses' attention to ask where my food was. She brought it soon after and blamed the kitchen. I got the home fries and the potatoes weren't seasoned at all. There were pieces of green pepper as well which was not listed on the menu. I would've had the hash browns instead. The eggs were cooked perfectly over easy and the sausage was really good. There was no taste or heat to the green chile. But over all there was no wow factor. The manager Alden (?) came over and asked how everything was. I gave honest feedback. Waitress inattentive. Food took forever to get and tasteless. Green peppers in home fries (apparently that's how home fries come) and also when I checked in on Yelp there was a free cookie offer and she didn't bring me that. They were out of cookies so he sub'd a brownie and he compd me a piece of pecan pie. Very kind of him. He did not offer to comp my meal nor did I expect it. He listened to my feedback and responded well. I still over tipped the waitress even though our total interaction time was less than 3 minutes. I saw other waitresses engaging with their tables so that's a good sign. Total with tip was under $18. Not a huge loss. Will I go back? Doubtful. There are too many other places I can get tastier food and consistent customer service. read more

I've come here twice now that my job is close to this shop. When you come in, you see a variety of people here, some sitting having meetings, some with laptops working, and others just enjoying the food. Both times I've come service has been great, it is easy to split a check, and food is quick and delicious. I'll definitely be back. Portions are huge too! read more

Milly's.... Still my absolute favorite place to eat breakfast! Huge portions, spicy green chili, that reminds me of my Mom's very clean, Fast and friendly service too! read more

Service was excellent and efficient. Food is amazing. I love the polish sausage, breakfast Benny's, AND Greek salad-Sandwich. Prices are reasonable. Service at this location is quick at early morning hours. Located in an industrial area, the restaurant is easy to access off University and Candelaria. Facility is clean, fairly new, and well kept. Although I've been to both locations, this one has more space between the tables and is presents a spacious seating area. They push tables together for large groups. The reason to go is the food, however I've visited this location several times and always experience a warm environment and friendly staff. read more

The food taste like homemade. The breakfasts are amazing. Presentation is well presented. The service from Janet was absolutely amazing she was very friendly. You don't wait for food very long either, if on lunch break great place for a quick stop for a meal. The ambience was comfortable and well lit. They also have an array of desserts in a case of front. read more

Nice bkfst place. The servers were great coffee was good and portion size on the bkfst burrito was ok. The green chili was mild with a bit too much garlic salt. Left a bit of an aftertaste. The place looked new and very comfortable dining room, will definitely come back. read more

Wow, this I is kind of a hidden gem. Seems to have lots of regulars. Menu is not some fancy dishes but staples like burger and fries, soup and sandwich, etc. Staff is friendly and attentive to your needs. Food is decent and made quickly. They do have daily specials on a board when you walk in. I had the chef salad, it was ok. No croutons but crackers is what you get. Ham was deli ham just cut up. They all share the tips so that is good Seems like a nice place to sit and have a meal I was annoyed when paying out that they ignored me for a good 5 minutes before taking the ticket. They were to busy talking about friends and things they forgot to do to take my money. So I dropped the rating to 3 stars read more

Always polite and accommodating. I love their Eggs Benedict here but today my eggs were fried and not poached as they should be. I let my server know and the new nice manager, Cali came over and apologized saying the egg prep was a mistake so next time they'd be on the house and cooked right!!! I use to get Eggs Benedict at Brennan's in Dallas and I've loved it ever since. I avoid fried food so this is a yummy brunch. I recommend you try theirs. read more

The food was very good. Portions were large. The staff were extremely friendly and even made suggestions as this was our first time eating there. We will be back! read more

Quick in and out for a weekday breakfast with a buddy. Parking lot is a little small for long work trucks, not unobtainable, but you better pay attention! Eggs Benny were NM style and spot on, coffee could be a little hotter, service was quick. read more

We used to be regulars at this restaurant, but no longer. The food is good, but the service is terrible. With the high cost of food now, we will no longer accept poor service. We tried to give them the benefit of doubt by going back several times. The service is always and consistently bad. This time we could see our waitress sitting up front while we and others nearby waited to be served -- people waiting to place orders, tea and coffee needing refills, etc. nothing out of the ordinary, just needing basic service. We won't be back. read more

8/22 Name apparently has changed to MILLY'S CAFE, at 2100 Candelaria Rd N.E. Albuquerque, N.M.. Nicest place we have found so far. We have only had breakfast but that is very good. The place is nice, clean and looks recently remodeled. The staff has always been very cheerful, friendly and wanting to get it all right. Prices are equal for the area. At times they get pretty busy so plan ahead. We enjoy going to this place very much. read more

Came in on a road trip to Colorado Springs. My husband and I had a bowl of green chili chicken soup and split a pastrami sandwich. Probably the quickest we ever got a meal. It was hot, fresh and tasty. I didn't expect much being in an industrial area. Boy was I wrong. Sandwich had green chili and perfectly melted cheese on the pastrami. Deeeeelicious and soup hit the spot. A super find. read more

OMG... Color me happy. After 8 long months in Albuquerque without eating out once for breakfast, I have finally found a place that serves good old fashioned American breakfast at a good price. Allelujah. Up to now whenever I've researched breakfast restaurants either they feature mostly southwestern cuisine which I call lunch not breakfast if you're having burritos enchiladas and tacos. Alternatively, the other restaurants I have found that I've looked at have featured what I call foofy food. I don't want gourmet I don't want crazy I just want plain old fashioned American. That is what I got at Milley's and at a good price with a smile. Well actually the server was wearing a mask but I heard her smile even though I didn't see it. So I had eggs and meat which consisted of two poached eggs wonderfully crisp hash brown potatoes three sausage links and rye bread with a dab of butter. I am in heaven. The only feedback I have is to ask them to please open a location that's further on the east side closer to Juan Tabo or the Tramway. I will be back often and thanks so much read more

I could see why this place has such good reviews. I have been here 4 times and I've witnessed great service and good coming out of this place. Unfortunately it's never been my experience. This place really favors the regular and you can see the where the wait staffs priorities are and where they spend their time. I was very disappointed in the way I was treated here, no refills, didn't get checked on, another server brought put my food and my additional request for toast, and the original server still didn't come to check on me afterwards. Meanwhile im watching her chatting it up giving great service to 3 other tables. On the bright note, food was good but didn't come as described on the menu, but I'd rather eat somewhere else the way they treated me like an after thought. read more

Was very surprised by this restaurant at first it didn't look like much. But the food was excellent I had the chicken fried steak very tasty and our hostess was very professional and attentive to our table and all her other one. Forgot her name but young gal with glasses and black hair. I thought it was a chain of Milly's from Southern California but there not. The place filled up quick and obviously everyone enjoyed the service and atmosphere. Will definitely stop by on my next visit to Albuquerque. read more

Great place for breakfast. Newer and clean. Large menu with many options. We got the breakfast tacos with sausage and bacon and fruit. The sausage was our favorite, a little spicy with good flavor. The corn tortilla was fried to a crunchy texture, very good. The tacos were filled with egg and meat, topped with lettuce, tomato and avocado. Salsa was on the side with a nice little kick. The fruit was perfectly ripe. The V8 juice ordered was a 22 ounce cup! Excellent meal with drinks for $23. If you're in the area this is a great place to eat! read more

Can I complain about service when we never got any? Waited 10 min to even get water. Never did. Left. Won't go back.

Service was great! Our waitress was wonderful and super quick. We are on our way relocating to TN and had to have some truck maintenance along way and was recommended Milly's. Far from being disappointed. I had breakfast tacos and my husband the breakfast enchiladas. Both fantastic. Fresh, flavorful and just yummy! If your in area stop by there, won't disappoint! read more
