Millie's Restaurant & Bakery

Millie's Restaurant & Bakery

Millie's is a small local chain restaurant and bakery restaurants. It's similar in type to Coco's and Carrows and Hof's Hut. There are two in Orange County, one in Anaheim and the other in Brea. I went with two friends to the Brea location for dinner. The Brea Millie's is at the intersection of Imperial and Randolph, just across from the Brea Mall. This was my first time at Millie's.

We arrived and were seated immediately. The restaurant wasn't full during dinner, probably because the nearby Brea Mall has all sorts of other restaurants available. The decor and layout at Millie's is similar to a coffee shop like Denny's, no frills and quite conservative. The front counter display has all sorts of delicious looking strawberry pies and other baked goods.

Our waiter brought us waters and took our drink orders. The menu has the standard coffee shop fare such as breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, salads, and typical dinner entrees such as meatloaf and spaghetti and meatballs.

Our waiter returned and took our orders. I ordered the triple decker club sandwich and substituted fries for onion rings for a few cents more. My friend Andrew ordered the macaroni and cheese dinner, which comes with a salad, and he chose Caesar. My other friend Thomas ordered the albacore tuna melt with fries. Our waiter asked if we wanted an appetizer and suggested the spinach artichoke dip. That sounded good and we ordered the spinach artichoke dip.

All three of us got busy in a conversation and realized the spinach artichoke dip was never brought out. We saw our waiter come to our table with our dinner entrees and Andrew's salad. We asked the waiter about the dip, and he admitted he forgot to place the order. He apologized and asked us if we still wanted it. We told him we didn't, since dinner was already before us. Our waiter said he would provide us with a free dessert if we wished. We told him we might take him up on the free dessert.

Our dinners looked pretty good. Thomas enjoyed his albacore tuna melt. I liked my triple decker club sandwich. Andrew liked his Caesar salad. He said his macaroni and cheese was a bit bland and the sauce was a tad bit watery. During dinner, the restaurant manager came out to check on us and to apologize for forgetting the appetizer and told us we could have whatever dessert we would like when we were ready.

We finished dinner and decided on the Triple Layer Ghirardelli Chocolate Cake. The waiter brought our cake with a scoop of ice-cream. The cake was pretty good.

Overall, the food was less than fair, two out of three tasted as they should. The macaroni and cheese wasn't so good. The service wasn't terrible, the waiter simply forgot to order our appetizer, so we got a free dessert out of that incident. But I'm not planning on returning soon. Total bill was $36 with tax and tip.
