Millies
345 N Virginia St, Reno, NV
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside the Eldorado, Millie's is a reliable breakfast and brunch destination where the pancakes and eggs arrive cooked just right, and the service can shine when you land a server like Norma or Melony who genuinely care about your table. It's the kind of unhurried spot where families settle in for a leisurely morning, though consistency seems to swing depending on the day and who's in the kitchen.”

I visited Millie’s Cafe at the Eldorado around 11:15 AM with a party of four, and the experience left me with a bad taste before I even saw a menu. When we were being seated, the waitress in the first section, Wendy, told the host to “skip her.” We were promptly shuffled off to another area. Normally, I wouldn’t think much of it, but 30 minutes later, I watched that same waitress (who rejected our party of four) happily welcome and seat a couple in her section. The unprofessionalism didn't stop there. I overheard another waiter trying to reject a different party, claiming he needed to leave soon and would only accept a "single person." It seems the wait staff here are allowed to hand-pick their customers based on party size or personal preference, which is incredibly troubling and makes guests feel unwelcome. The saving grace of the meal was our actual waitress, Nancy. She was courteous, friendly, and did a great job despite the awkward start. However, the "gatekeeping" behavior from the rest of the staff, specifically the waitress who refused us, is highly unprofessional for a major resort cafe.
Great breakfast spot inside of the Eldorado Reno. Pancakes and eggs cooked to perfection. Our server Melony was terrific. Will be back for sure! We went back 3x in 3 days and every time the food was great.
We came here after another place in the hotel had a long - long wait. We were very happy with the decision. Better options, better drinks, and better ambiance. Millie’s is a great place to get breakfast, lunch or dinner. We did breakfast and the huge portions and great flavors and other options were just what we needed and enjoyed. The service is a 4 because the pink haired hostess - no greeting, looked annoyed when we asked for a table of six and slapping menus down on the table after lazily sliding them from the counter top to her hand - no eye contact - no smile. Yikes. Overall I recommend a visit and do breakfast. Thanks to our awesome server and the check out lady. Kudos. I’ll be back.
We ordered two different entrees at this place. The tacos were greasy cold, tasted like spoiled beef. It was horrible. My wife is a California chick. Very few taco she don't like she would not eat these. I tried. I did not like them as well. Just turned her stomach and mine. Also ordered the chicken fingers which were pretty good. But you can get the same quality from any gas station place for the chicken fingers our waiter Jerry was amazing! But he's the only one. I tried to tell them that that food was horrible and it was still all left on the plate would not even give us a discount for it. If you do not have a taste palette, order the tacos, you'll regret it later. The three-star review is generous. If it was not for Jerry it would have gotten one star review.
NORMA IS THE BEST!!!!!!!! Outstanding and super attentive service with her bc she always made sure we were taken care of if we needed anything. PROS -awesome, attentive friendly service with NORMA -Caesar salad is good & fresh -delicious fresh crispy fish & chips! -spaghetti meatballs were good bc it reminds me of the diner taste CONS -chicken strips didn’t taste like chicken
