Many guests rave about the delicious Full English breakfast available for just £6.50, featuring quality ingredients like sausage, bacon, and black pudding. The homemade pies, especially the Apple Pie and Bakewell Tart for dessert, receive high praise. Friendly and efficient service adds to the overall positive experience, as does the restaurant's welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Patrons also appreciate the ample space available, which makes it easy to enjoy a meal without feeling cramped.
Coffee lovers will find solace in Millie’s extensive beverage menu, boasting great coffee and an impressive tea selection, making it an ideal spot for a light afternoon snack or casual coffee date.
Most Disliked
While most patrons enjoy their experience, some have noted that the restaurant can get busy, particularly on weekends, which might lead to longer wait times during peak hours. A few comments mention that the parking area, despite being generous, can sometimes be packed when the restaurant is full.
Additionally, while many dishes are well-received, a couple of diners found some items on the menu to be somewhat standard, potentially lacking the adventurous flair that others might seek. However, this doesn't detract from the overall quality or satisfaction of a meal at Millie's.

We had a afternoon tea, which was lovely. Plenty between 2 of us. My little girl had a jacket potato with cheese and beans. Was plenty of room and service was quick and staff extremely friendly.

Came here today for breakfast, the absolutel best breakfast in Ilkeston. £6.50 for a good quality Full English (sausage, bacon, beans, eggs, black pudding, mushroom, fried bread, has browns), with doorstop toast and marmalade too. A definite hidden gem. (Not to be confused with Millie's Coffee Shop on the 3rd floor where the staff are rude and the quality of food is no where near as good).

A friend recommended the restaurant and I hadn't heard of the restaurant. Visited 28th February and had lunch at Millies, and it was fabulous. The food is top quality and resealable priced. There is a great atmosphere and the staff are so friendly and helpful.

Visited this afternoon with my mum (the first time visiting for me after mum had recommended it to me countless times as she'd been multiple times before and always said about how brilliant it was) and needless to say, it was a wonderful experience for us. Service was swift, friendly, patient and professional, the restaurant looked fresh, clean, well kept and was an overall relaxing, welcoming atmosphere, our food arrived fast, was fresh and tasted absolutely delicious (not to mention the presentation was very lovely too!) I had a white cheese toasted sandwich with salad and mum had a jacket potato with beans and salad and both were brilliant value for the cheap price. I'm a fussy eater and often struggle to choose what to eat at restaurants but the menu provided a wide variety of different, great foods and I was able to make a quick definite choice with no trouble whatsoever. We both thoroughly enjoyed it with no complaints and will certainly be back again! 😊

If you want a really good breakfast at good price then don't miss this place, breakfast is amazing. Not tried anything other than breakfast but if they do this this great then the other food must be great as well.
