We've been to Millie's for brunch a few times now. It is a nice little hole in the wall, but the food is not as amazing as everyone makes it out to be. Yes, they have interesting dishes and everything is usually good, but that does not make a place amazing. That is what a restaurant should offer me. An ok place for a Saturday morning, but not worth the long wait on a Sunday morning.

Pros: Hole in the wall atmosphere a welcome change from chain restaurants

Cons: Busy on Sunday mornings, food is only ok, parking can be a problem

The best brunch in the city. If you like spicy cuisine, then this is the place for you. The Devils Brunch Scramble is amazing. Note though there is quite a wiat when you go for Sunday brunch. Call ahead.

Pros: Great food, Good Service, Ample parking

Cons: , Always a wait

Foir those who have eaten at Carman's Country Kitchen in South Philly and had their absolutely delicious food, this place will remind you of it sans the eccentric cook. Actually the cooks here are busy doing their faire right in front of you as you enter into this very casual diner where everyone is at home. Try their signature Brunch dishes, called appropriately "Mess" and you will be delighted! I had the Vegetarian Mess with eggplant, carrots and peppers. My friend had the Western with sausage and bunches of other stuff. All seasoned well and with Vietnamese hot sauce. Unique place in Richmond!

Pros: Awesome food, Reasonable Prices, Great service

Cons: Can get crowded

Millie's is world-class food, lively ambience, great drinks and an awesome place for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends or business associates. One tip-it does get crowded. On winter nights when the place is bursting at the seams, put your name on the waiting list and walk up the street to Poe's Pub for a couple of quick drinks. Then head back for what will be one of the best meals you'll ever have.

Pros: Great Chef, Great Music, Cool wait staff

Millies brunch is outstanding. I have visited many times ordering a variety of different items and have never been disappointed. Brunch is a great value. I have never had dinner here. My only complaint is they need a nonsmoking section

Pros: brunch, value, quality

Cons: smoky, Sunday wait, parking

Oh my god. The best breakfast/brunch in the city. Go for the soft scrambled eggs w/ crab/lobster. To die for.

Before my husband and I moved away from our beloved Church Hill, we would walk to Millie's for dinner or drinks several times a month. The staff is the finest I have seen -- they are professional, warm, accomodating. While the food isn't quite as good as it was when Millie's kithcen was under the care of Joe M., it's still outstanding. We revisited on a recent trip back to VA and felt like we'd never left.

Pros: friendly staff, great bar choices, appetizers fabulous

Cons: parking limited, no reservations, bad sound system

Editor's Review

A diner that remains a testament to the power of word of mouth.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

On a date? Although the open kitchen provides almost as much entertainment as the crowd at the bar, you might want to request a table on the quieter side.
