What a Gem this is! Brought our family to this cute spot in Blackhawk for breakfast. The portions were huge and the prices inexpensive and the food was delicious! Our waiter was attentive and kind. Loved the old timey feel. I was worried there would be a long wait but we were seated quickly and in and out in about 40 minutes.

We wondered in just to see what the old building looked like inside and stumbled on the restaurant upstairs. The food was fantastic, service was great, it was clean and quiet. I had the country fried steak and the french toast which I wouldnt hesitate to order again. Ill have to come back and try the lunch and dinner menu for sure.

Oh my goodness this place is so cheap I swear I was gonna get poor quality food but I was SOOO wrong. That was one of the best steaks I have had and I still can't believe how cheap it was. When I come back to Colorado I will definitely be stopping in again.

EAT HERE! Casino towns are notorious for terrible food. This joint is the best food I've had up here. It's honestly odd that it is tucked away upstairs at the casino. Not expensive. Just great.

The food was amazing!!!! The mimosas were perfect! The staff was friendly & attentive. It was real quiet, we were the only ones there... but I really enjoyed that. My husband wasn’t a fan of the mannequins but I thought it was a nice change of pace from the world today. (But I’m weird like that!) The casino was also very inviting! We’ll definitely be back.

This step back into time was glorious. Millie’s is old-school to say the least. Take a walk up to the spacious second floor and enjoy a delicious, well-priced meal. The breakfast burrito smothered in green chilis was perfect in every way. It’s a quiet place with what looks like a lot of locals, but we were taken care of by some veteran servers. A must in Central City!

Very cool place. All of the staff is so laid back, calm and friendly. I don’t understand how they stay in business with their prices. We paid 32 dollars for a fried chicken meal, a steak meal, a plate of French fries, a beer, and a Bloody Mary. Food was cooked well and Bloody Mary was really good. Very citrusy and light. Not a lot of bold seasonings. Nice for a Sunday morning.

Amazing hidden gem in old historic Central City! Friendly and efficient staff, really fresh food! Most items are house made and I’ve never had a bad experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Always check the specials and soups because they are delicious!
