Little hole in the wall. Reminded me of small diners from 70s & 80s. Generous portions, decent prices, coffee cup stayed full. If your not looking for ambiance, you will not be disappointed. Food was extremely tasty. I parked in a lot across the street. It didn’t say I couldn’t. It’s street parking which deducts the point for me.
We stopped in for breakfast on a week day. Nice old school diner on main Street. Booths ,tables and counter seats. I had the kielbasa and eggs over with potato pancakes. Came with toast and apple sauce. My partner had the homemade corned beef and eggs which came with home fries and toast. Both dishes were huge and came out quick and cooked perfectly. Priced right and delicious. Definitely recommend checking this place out.
(No mildew smell like previous review states). We ordered 2 x bacon and egg, home fries and rye toast. Both were delicious and cooked perfectly. The home fries were the standout. They were incredibly crispy. The portions are generous. I received 7 pc of bacon on mine, the other got 6. Unfortunately the bacon wasn’t very tasty. It’s either that “precooked commercial” bacon or just very tasteless bacon. It didn’t have any bacon flavour and was tough and chewy. Regardless, we will return and try their kielbasa and eggs. I recommend you try this place.
Great old school diner in Mayberry (aka milltown)! 1st time there after passing this place a 1000 times. Good service and great food. Went for breakfast at around 11 on a Wednesday, so it wasn't busy, and it didn't disappoint... just keep in mind it's a small place, so there may be some wait time during the rush... Give it a try, well worth the stop. I will definitely be coming back...
Decided to give this place a try based on some pretty good reviews plus it wasn’t that far away. Parking is available on street or directly across in a public parking lot, on a Sunday morning it was easy to park in the lot. It’s located in a house and when you enter the front door there’s 2 doors and the entrance to the diner is to the right. The place is dated, however, it was intimate with patriotic decorations along with many sports memorabilia, all in all, it had a family feeling. Based on the staff interactions with a few customers (regulars for sure) we enjoyed some of the banter that was going on, we even laughed a few times. Alright, let’s get to the food. Orange juice was ordered, but it had a metallic taste, notified our waitress and she immediately explained that it was the 2nd complaint and replaced it with apple juice. She stated that it was a new vendor and after our complaint they discarded the remaining containers of OJ. She even tried it and agreed it didn’t taste right. Now diners usually have those paper placemats that have all those advertisements, well they had their coffee cups designed with the ads, thought that was innovative. Had the eggs Benedict with corned beef hash and the belly buster. The eggs Benedict was delicious and a HUGE portion (3 eggs too) over English muffins with hash browns. The belly buster (another HUGE portion), I believe it was bacon, ham, sausage, cheese and potatoes, however I was disappointed that the potatoes were in the omelette. Basically, it appears they placed all the ingredients on the griddle and poured the 4 eggs directly on these ingredients. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t a real omelette either as it wasn’t added over the eggs as a filling and folded over. I would have preferred the potatoes on the side as it detracted from the “omelette”. The amount of food was enough for 3 meals (each) and we took home the copious amount of food. A bonus, I have to add, asked for hot sauce and the waitress brought 2 different bottles, Cholula (my favorite) and a jalapeño and green chili sauce (didn’t try). We really enjoyed the atmosphere as it appeared to be a local and friendly place, wish I could give it 5 stars, but like I stated earlier, the belly buster just missed the mark. The service was outstanding and we will definitely come back for either lunch or breakfast again (so many options to choose from). Highly recommended.
Friendly, fresh, and affordable. This is a No Frills Diner that serves up breakfast and lunch without the added baggage of trendier spots. Fresh eggs and potatoes hit the spot.
Milltown Diner is an exceptional old school diner. We stopped in for breakfast and were greeted immediately. Everyone at the diner was very friendly. The service was excellent as was the food. Everything was hot and fresh. The coffee was quite good. Everything tasted homemade. I recommend the corned beef hash. All the prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. Free limited parking on the street.
