Millie’s Pancake Haus

Eh.
Went for breakfast and we weren’t especially impressed… Don’t expect much.
Service was really good so that accounts for a lot… The food/​menu needa updating tho.

I cannot believe I’m giving this place four stars but it was the highlight of my dining experiences in Tucson. The chicken fingers were tasty and breaded in a fun crunchy manner. The waitress was also very friendly and helpful. Thanks for making your restaurant better than most in Tucson.

Good food, but pay in cash if you want to avoid their $ 0.25 CC fee. Also no Wifi. Nice non-​chain feel.

Had been there several times with pretty good food, today my husband and I returned was seated quickly… They we not busy… Lots of staff milling around… We sat for 5 minutes without anyone coming to offer us water check on us… We finally got up and left! Customer service is still #1!!! Come on got to be better!

Lots of good options here for breakfast. I really wanted something to stand out, but everything was pretty average.

The food was good however there was problems with the temperature. Waitress great. The owner was rude and wouldn’t work out a issue with me. They nickel and dimed you for every thing even even a charge to use your credit card.

Went there twice one time we were the only clients in restaurant, waited a long time before waitress tended to us. When she did she was not very inviting. When other clients started coming in the waitress immediately took care of them. Another time I went in to just purchase coffee, they just ignored me and did not even acknowledge that I was there. Went next door instead. What I did notice was that the clientele was not diverse at all, including their employees.

My family has been coming here since they opened in the 80s. It is a great breakfast spot. I don’t think I’ve ever had their lunch items, but looking at their menu I think I should next time. There are some German style dishes such as a Schnitzel with Spaetzel.
Visiting town, I met a friend here for breakfast. They were offering a corned beef hash breakfast special, so I got that with eggs over medium and the biscuit and gravy. If you read my breakfast reviews you will see a theme. I either order that or eggs benedict most of the time. Theirs was very good.
The service was super nice and attentive.
The prices here are very good, with nothing over $ 10.

The environment was quaint and the service was quick. We tried the special brandy apple crêpe, the pacific omelet and the Russian blintzes. I thought the Russian blintzes were the best followed by the crêpe. And who would go to a pancake house without trying their pancakes? The pecan pancakes were nice and fluffy and they stirred the pecans into the batter to give a nice nutty texture. Overall good first time experience!

I am from the east and we have a place called Cracker Barrel and Millie’S is just like that minus the gift store that Cracker Barrel has.
Millie’s is decked out in Christmas décor right now and I’m assuming the décor changes with the season.
The crowd was predominately blue hairs in their Sunday best. Also a lot of families too.
The food was ok. I ordered the scrambled eggs, hash browns, and a pancake. The best part was the hashbrowns. They were just the right amount of crispy. The worst was the scrambled eggs. They were lukewarm and kind of stuck together. I think they must have been sitting for a bit.
Service was good considering it was super busy when we were there. But in spite of that the waitress was pleasant and food was delivered quickly.
I would never seek this place out again but if someone wanted to go there I wouldn’t say no.
The End.

Reasonable prices, good food, real butter on the table. This is one of our regular stops for breakfast. The seasonal Pumpkin Pancakes are really delicious along with the spicy syrup, oh yuuummmy!

We love Millie’s. Whether it is all the warm remembrances or the very homey interior, it is lovely. And always satisfying. About six months ago, I was told there was a complete reversible diagnosis of a life threatening health issue. We left my appointment full of joy! Since I had fasted for some tests, we decided to go out to eat. I chose Millie’s! Best decision! Warm, delicious, and lovely meals were had!

The best thing is the décor. delightful. The food is ok but nothing to write home about, to Hamburg. It is routine. and not enough napkins. One thing is that it does have good service, but looking in the kitchen I thought the floor needed repair. I am opting for more food and more reasonable prices.

OK, I will admit that I am biased. I grew up going to Millie’s. It is my favorite breakfast place in Tucson, but there is a caveat here. You have to know what to order. Do I order creative dishes here? No. Do I order omelets? No (even though they aren’t bad). Do I go here for lunch? No. Millie’s does 2 things extremely well however: pancakes and waffles. If you have a morning sweet tooth this is the place to go. By the way, you HAVE to get the pure maple syrup. It is not debatable. My go to is the country breakfast (awesome deal) with a full waffle (only comes with half) or the pancakes. That’s it. This place looks like a restaurant but you have to have a «diner» mentality when you come here. You wouldn’t get fancy at a greasy spoon, so don’t get fancy here.

I visited with my fiancé and his parents a couple weeks ago, and not only was the restaurant swelteringly hot, the food didn’t even make up for it. I had the asaparagus eggs benedict, that I happened to see on the specials chalkboard on my way it. My waitress did not tell us about the specials, and she said that this dish came with canadian bacon (which it did not). The asparagus was frozen, and it was DRENCHED in hollandaise sauce, which unfortunately, did not cover the taste of the terribly cooked asparagus. No one at my table enjoyed their meal, from my father in-​laws strange beef noodle, to my fiancé’s over cooked eggs.

Sorry guys, guess we should have came for breakfast! Went there last Saturday night and the BEST part of our meal (s) was the homemade bread and the salad that came with the entrée (s). My friend chose the soup, a beef/​vegetable concoction that she had to send back and switched to salad (way better choice).
The entrees were, um, just awful. I had the cabbage rolls which were NOT anywhere close to the taste I have been familiar with in my life. The cabbage was undercooked, the meat barely had any rice in it, but the tomato sauce they spooned over it (not cooked/​baked in it) was so sweet I scrapped it all off. The had run out of the potatoes that were supposed to come with it, so I got «whipped» potatoes which were plopped on the plate in the same shape as the scoop they used, and they were so bland and gummy (no sauce/​butter/​gravy or anything to put on them. I ate half of one cabbage roll, and gave the rest to my table to try and nobody liked it either.
My friend ordered Sweedish Meatballs… the order came with 3 served on top of spatzel which was gummy and sticky. They ran out of whatever was supposed to come with it. She took home a big doggy bag and her fur babies got the leftovers once she was home.
Another friend got the chef salad… wise choice given the food options. It was a basic salad nothing special.
The only guy with us ordered the rueben and was justifiably unsatisfied and critical of (the chef even came out).
All in all, it was a big flop. Wasted money, grandma atmosphere (and I’m 57 years old) that was filled with dolls and nicknacks that did not set any sort of mood for us. None of us will come back… not even for the potato pancakes (which they WILL NOT serve for dinner).

Slow slow slow and full of ancient slow churchgoers. Sloow. Won’t be going back. Food not good. This was SO disappointing. There are a lot of great Tucson breakfast places… this is not one of them. Don’t go here!

Ordered poached egg and I got a microwaved eggs tucked to a bowl. The pancake was cold and smelled like old grease, never received a refill on my drink. It must have been an off day for them. How ever I did tell the cashier and no apology offered.

I have been here a number of times for several reasons — the staff is friendly, the scrambled eggs are cooked perfectly, and there are several menu choices. Today, I had 2 potato pancakes with sour cream and applesauce, 2 scrambled eggs, and coffee. The food was delicious as usual, our server was friendly, and we were offered refills on our coffee several times.

I come here often, as I love their eggs benedict. Every time I order it, it’s always the same. Their waffles are great. Crispy outside, and warm fluffy inside. The potatoes that accompany the eggs benedict I’ve never been to crazy about. Too bland for my taste. They also have this garlic dressing that is fraaaakin awesome. I’m not too crazy about the fact that you pay for a lot of things separately. Don’t expect this to be a Ihop or Denny’s. Meaning if you buy a waffle, but you want sausage you need a separate order. They don’t have those huge combos with pancakes, eggs, bacon etc… This is a solid place, das ist gut!!!

A friend recommended Millie’s and suggested that we try it for breakfast. My wife and I went there at about nine AM and were promptly seated. Then we waited, and waited, and waited. Apparently we were invisible to the waitstaff, as no one ever came to take beverage orders or any other orders. After twenty to twenty five minutes, we walked out and had a very nice breakfast at a restaurant across the street. I have no idea how good the food is or isn’t, but we shall not return to Millie’s.

All the food here is delicious! I’m a big fan of the french toast and omelettes. The homemade bread takes the french toast to a whole new level! The interior is really cute too, very old fashioned and homey.

Millis is a rare commodity here in tucson. A very quaint country style eatery. The décor is a perfect match for the theme. I love the comfort foods. The freshly baked bread is to die for. I’m from the south and love the southern charm aspect hidden in the southwest reminds me of home. Food is always hot fresh. They are always accommodating to my special request the service is excellent!

The service was nice but the food was so unexceptional. I wonder if the cooks ever tasted a real Swedish pancake or German blintzes. ‘No Substitutions’ ‘minimum $ 1.00 charge’ for anything extra’ — so many rules for such mediocrity — didn’t feel welcoming.

Ok, but probably would not come back. Service was pretty slow, overly slow.
I had the special pancakes of the day, if I hadn’t read the specials on the blackboard outside I would not have known there even was specials. The pancakes were good but definitely light on the blackberries. Better than an IHOP but not amazing.

Millie’s is like stepping inside of a custom made german cuckoo clock and eating the most fantastic pancakes of your life! I love the décor and they add fantastical touches for the holidays (without overdoing it!). Another thing to note up front is that I’ve never had to wait very long for a table of 2. It seems others with groups of 4 do not wait long, either.
Their menu is HUGE but I do think that that pancakes/​waffles are the star. Our waiter told us the eggs benedict are fantastic, though, so give those a try! This season they have pumpkin waffles that are absolutely fantastic! They even come with cinnamon syrup :) The prices are fair, the waitstaff is fine (sometimes good, sometimes a little sour), and you can really customize any plate that you want. So, no real complaints here! They also have baked goods for sale — both flavored breads and regular loaves.
A random side note — their booths are quite stiff which I believe increases the accessibility of the seating. Since all the seating is hard, it is is easier for people of all ages to get in and out of their chairs/​booths.
