Milly's Sandwich Shop

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!

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% = taste20% = presentation10% = 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.

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.

My goodness, Tom Neiman, Jim Tritten, and some of the members of the VA Creative Writing Group have returned to another one of our favorite places. You know, just to make sure the quality hasn't slipped. Well, it hasn't, and we invite you to join us as we once again report on Milly's Breakfast Lunch on Candelaria. Great food, excellent service, and a comfortable, down-home atmosphere that does not require a tuxedo or dinner dress [what place does in New Mexico?] Join the group by clicking on the following YouTube video link and enjoy ... https://youtu.be/IOyshBF2gH8?si=G8aQGHRczr4DNZ2Q S

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
