Just came here for breakfast and the food was great!! Definitely the best biscuits and gravy we had ever had, would absolutely recommend. The service was awesome and everyone was so nice :) read more

We almost left because no one acknowledged us as we stood by the host stand for a good 10 minutes with staff going by us without even a smile. Decided we'd ask to sit at the breakfast bar and the nice gentleman grabbed us waters and juices right away and waitress took our order shortly after. Glad we stuck it out. We both had the TMR which came with 2 eggs, choice of meat, home fries, waffle, and sausage and biscuits. I had Canadian bacon (2 slices) added onion to my home fries which were crispy and delicious the other was the same except regular bacon (8 slices). Price was great for the quality and amount of food. Gets busy and noisy but very good. Casual atmosphere a bit less noisy at the breakfast bar. Nice clean homey place. We enjoyed and took half the food home! read more

Today we came in for breakfast but ended up eating lunch. The service was lukewarm warm from the young lady who greeted us by telling us we can take any table that looks clean to the waitress who was much more personal and polite. My roast beef sandwich will not win any awards, but it was a solid attempt at a Beef on Wick. The sandwich itself was flavorful but the horseradish sauce was heavy on Mayo and light on horseradish, the a jus was good and the French Fries were ordinary. I sample my wife's meatloaf open face sandwich and if given the option I'll take the meatloaf over the roast beef. All in all nothing exceptional but nothing off putting that would warrant a disappointment issue. read more

The food at best I would give three stars to. It's a standard diner but nothing that makes it really stand out. My biggest gripe was that it took more than 40 minutes for our food to come out, and we did not order that much. I don't see myself coming back here. read more

I have a soft spot in my heart for small NY diners, and this one met my expectations. The decor and atmosphere was adorable with the cute cow decor. The menu was great, we were surprised to see grits on the menu as southerners it was a nice surprise. The food was great and the guy (im assuming the owner) was fantastic and friendly. read more

Great breakfast menu variety of all the classics. Portions are quite large. Wait staff keeps the coffee coming! I highly recommend the chicken waffles - homemade tenders are delicious! read more

It would be nice if they have GF options, but we still enjoyed our food. It's perfect for a Sunday slow brunch

A true gem, housed in the former Valley View Diner. To say it's been spruced up is totally underselling the charming and welcoming feel. The menu selection puts just enough spin on traditional breakfast faves without veering into being over the top. My Papa beard hit all the right notes: tasty sausage gravy, fluffy homemade biscuits, eggs over easy, perfect skin on home fries, and slabs of nutty whole wheat toast. Enough for two meals, or a friend :-) read more

This place was a 45 minute hike but was well worth it. The experience was great, food was phenomenal, and we would absolutely make the trek back. On crutches so getting down the stairs was a challenge. I think the front was handicap accessible but didn't look into it. Atmosphere is nice and cozy, staff are friendly. Place was starting to get MOBBED after we sat down, wait time was a little longer than I would have wanted for our food...but the wait was well worth it once I took a bite of my food! I ordered the Corned Beef Hash Benedict and holy smokes...wickedly good. Their homemade corned beef hash was potentially the best I have ever had, PLENTY of meat and not just made up of the filler potatoes. Ordered a side of 2 biscuits and gravy...portion sizes are plenty, so I over ordered with this. biscuits and gravy were good, homemade biscuits and flavor was pretty dark good...probably a 4.5/5 on this. Staff were constantly clearing tables or filling glasses which is a plus. Food is a 5/5 Staff 5/5 Noise level was a 4/5 Timeliness of food 4/5 Price 5/5 Overall, a great experience. Quality of food to me has this place clocking in at 5 stars. To drive 45 minutes to a breakfast place and willing to come back says quite a bit. The noise and the wait time can be overlooked as it was swamped and they handled it fairly well. Price was very fair for what was ordered and the amount you received. FYI- They use farm fresh eggs, not that slop you get from Costco or Walmart...you can tell by the darkness of the yolk :-) Sorry for the lack of photos... read more

Great breakfast, large generous proportions, locals and regulars are here so you know it's good. Service was average for a large crowd. Home town favorite. read more

Good food. Fast, fantastic service. Staff is super friendly! We go on Sunday mornings and seating hasn't been any problem so far. Definitely recommend trying it! read more

If you are looking for a cozy and comforting diner that prepares scratch made (homemade) food, then look no further than The Milkhouse Diner. This unassuming diner may be small in stature (roughly 15 tables), but they absolutely pack a mighty punch when it comes to flavor and customer service. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted with a smile and were allowed to seat ourselves wherever we liked. Within 2 minutes, a kind gentleman was at our table to take our drink order and hand us our menus. He was very informative on which dishes were customer favorites and offered a few menu suggestions for us to try. We opted for the sampler platter, breakfast garbage plate & the gobbler. Everything was simply wonderful, and I sincerely mean wonderful! You can definitely taste that the food is fresh and made to order. Portions were very generous (each entrée was enough for 2 servings), and the prices are unbeatable. If you're looking for a home cooked meal away from home, you'll definitely enjoy The Milkhouse. read more

My husband and I visited here recently for breakfast and it was hands down the best breakfast i've ever ordered from a diner! I ordered a coffee, OJ and veggie omelette-- im usually not blown away by an omelette, it's never bad but it doesn't wow me. But this one did! So tasty and I loved the filling. The coffee was equally delicious. The star of the show was the toast. I opted for the multigrain bread, is it homemade?! Idk but it was so good! We will gladly return here for breakfast again. read more

Stopped on our way out to Tim's pumpkin patch , we will stop here every chance we get now. Place is clean Staff was polite food came out super fast and it was 10/10 amazing every thing was perfect ! read more

I have nothing to say but WONDERFUL things about the Milkhouse. The food is always delicious. The best breakfast I could ask for, especially for always letting me swap home fries for shredded potatoes! The service is amazing, the owners and staff are some of the nicest people I've met, always being kind and hospitable. I look forward to the days I get up early for their "early bird special"! read more

Prices are high, and food is coming out very slowly. It seems the front of house is short on servers.

Food was good but not to be confused w the Milk House Roastery which is also in Marcellus and had the name first. The best coffee and beans. Not sure why this diner isn't using their coffee ?? read more

Good food and great service. Also very clean. What else would you want? A go to spot.

I was never here when it was "The Valley Inn" but they paid homage to the place with a sign in the dining room. The place doesn't look like much from the street but once inside it looks freshly remodeled with cute decorating. It was fairly busy on the Thursday afternoon I went with my friend. Many choices on the menu but I was in the mood for breakfast and I wanted to try a bunch of different things so I went with The TMR (see my photo of menu for description). Every taste was amazing!!! I normally don't get biscuits and gravy but it was the best I've ever had. The French toast was just like I love it with cinnamon on the batter. Bacon was crispy but not over cooked, home fries cooked perfectly and eggs were perfect. It's safe to say this is my new favorite breakfast place!!!! read more

This diner is a gem. We were warmly greeted, and the place is cheerfully decorated and spotless. The menu is quite comprehensive and the prices are on a par with really good family restaurants, and portions are enormous. Service is very friendly and efficient, but I'd recommend going either before or after the lunch rush, especially on Fridays when they feature their outstanding fish dinner. It's the best family restaurant between Cortland and Costco, and we've tried them all. [Desserts are made in-house, and if you like pistachios, try the cream pie if they have it]. read more

Went on a recent visit for lunch and this place did not disappoint! In fact, it was awesome. Dan was our server that day and he really made the entire experience a great one. I had inquired about the corn beef hash and he was kind enough to bring out a small sample of it. Amazing! This place was full when we went and for good reason. Great food, very nice staff, clean and brand new decor, and plenty of room between tables which is nice. Keep it up Milkhouse! You have a great future ahead of you. read more

This place is off the beaten path but very cute. Loved all the mums and fall decorations and the decor is mostly black and white and cow. The service was very quick and attentive. We started off with drinks and I will say the iced coffee was good. My husband got the papa beard which he said was okay but had a weird sweetness to it he wasn't expecting and the biscuits were more like scones. I got the eggs Benedict that was good but the home fries were too big. The weren't crispy at all and they had a kind of wetness to them. Also I am not a fan of rosemary which I could taste in them. All in all I would give it another shot but was not blown away. read more

When we arrived here, it was packed but we came in here before a family of 4 and we are three people. We waited more than 45 minutes plus, before even an interaction from our table. The waitresses acted very oblivious when it came to serving us. But moving on to the family, they got here after us and still preceded to get served first even with there order being so complicated. Very unhappy read more

Pancakes and home fries at the milk house are delicious. I like that they have the option to just order one because I often get full of sweet foods quickly. Service was good. We had about a 10 minute wait but that's to be expected on a Saturday at 10am. read more

The food here is amazing and this is such a cute little restaurant!! I tried it for the first time today for breakfast. The waiter we had was great, he came back often to fill coffees and waters. I thought it was a little pricey, but when the food arrived it was a large portion!! It was super good, it was worth the money. I ordered the 2X4, i will definitely be coming back to order it again . read more

Sunday breakfast was great! Home made corned beef hash combo with perfect over easy eggs and some of the best home fries I've had in a long time. Wife had the fretta which was huge for the very reasonable price (took more than half home)Home. Service was very friendly and attentive, never missed a step. Definitely will be back. read more

Heard about this restaurant on Facebook. The place did not disappoint. I had the Wagon wheel without bacon. It was very good. The home fries were excellent. Rarely are home fries that good. They are usually put on the back of the grill and by the time they are served the potatoes are tough and stale. Not these potatoes, tender and crispy and mmm good. I actually ate most of them. The wagon wheel was very tasty the Gruyere cheese was an excellent option and the pico de gallo was fresh and bright tasting. I just wish it was not so far away from East Syracuse. read more

I love a good diner, and this farm to table establishment is as good as it gets. The steak and eggs were great and didn't cost a fortune, the grits were buttery and cheesy, the home fries were perfectly done, and their home made hash is superb. Our waiter was phenomenal, and the diner atmosphere was on point. Large private lot in the back, and the ability to pay with a credit card really rounded out the experience. A wonderful place for breakfast/brunch. read more

Excellent breakfast here this morning. Lots of menu choices, great coffee, food was outstanding and friendly service! 5 star!

This gets lots of good reviews so I'm at a loss. Our service was great and the food arrived on time. But... this is not a place you go for a light breakfast. I ordered a grilled muffin, assuming it would be buttered and crisped. It was grilled, but in sausage grease and the center was cold. I ordered corned beef hash, which can be great or gut curdling. It was closer to the latter. My husband's classic over easy platter with home fries and bacon suffered from the same overwhelming greasy sausage flavor. If you like that, then this is your place. But we prefer cleaner flavors. I can't imagine what would happen with food allergies, since everything just seemed cooked in the same environment. Sorry. We won't be back. read more

Best eggs benedict and homefries I have had from any diner around. Everyone is super friendly and on top of things even when its busy. Only thing I wasn't satisfied with was the handicap entrance has quite the lip on it which made it difficult to get my partner in the door with his wheel chair. Another customer had to help push him in the door over the lip because he was too heavy for me and I had to hold the door open . read more

My daughters and I have been going out to breakfast for many years. Everytime a new place opens in our area we give it a try. We tried The Milkhouse and we left knowing we wouldn't go back. It wasn't the food, the service or the prices, the place was deafening. It was so loud there we almost had to yell to have a conversation, which made the entire experience far from enjoyable. It was like eating breakfast at a concert. read more

The food for our party of 4 was excellent. The service was very fast and friendly. It was amongst the best corn beef hash we had, eggs done excellent. Newer looking spacious facility, not like many dingy older diners. Good sized portions, would definitely recommend! read more

If it were socially acceptable to lick the plate, I would have!! Every single Morse was scrumptious. Bacon-YES. Biscuits and graaaaaaavy-OH MY GOSH, so tasty! French toast-YES. Potatoes-YES. We will be back and only wish we lived closer! The owner came out and asked how we enjoyed it and the place was very clean and had a charming ambience. Definitely recommend. read more

Went here for breakfast yesterday. First time here. We both got the eggs Benedict. It was very good. Best part was the eggs were done perfectly!! I really hate when they are not. They are the star of the dish after all. Our wait was not long. Our waiter was just the right amount of attentiveness. Price was very in line. I will go again for sure. I don't drink coffee, so can't comment on that. The coke was good! read more

I've been tempted to stop here on several occasions and today was the day. I ordered the "Papabeard", which was supposed to to be biscuits with sausage and country gravy over biscuits, and added sausage patties extra, with an English muffin, eggs over light and home fries, and a glass of milk to wash it down. The best part were the eggs. They were spot on. The sausage for the gravy was tasteless, and the home fries were the typical frozen SYSCo potatoes tossed ion the grill. My extra sausage was barely cooked, and I almost sent it back. I was a little taken aback at the size of the glass of milk for the price of it. Just a little larger than a juice glass. I finished, paid and left, never to return again. I expected too much I guess. read more
