Milo’s Hamburgers

Service a little slow and sauces are hidden, but the staff is very friendly and always trying to make sure everyone is happy. Had the chicken fingers and they are awesome! Much better than Guthrie’s.

We really wanted GUS’s Hotdogs but it was Sunday and none of the locations was open. What to do? What to do? We decided to go to Milo’s near the hospital. We lucked out and got a parking space about a block away. It was really cold and sort of the windy… but so soo cold !!!
We didn’t know what to expect. I honestly thought it was a sit down restaurant with waitresses. so boy was I WAY OUT THERE… it was a large open room with tables and chairs.
We all opted for the regular cheeseburger and fries. I got the Sweet MILO’s TEA, Noël went for the Dr. Pepper and Tony went for a Chocolate shake and apple fried pie… all in all it was $ 23 with taxes not bad…
We found a table in the semi empty room. The cheeseburger reminded me of a burger you get from your local school café… the bun was a little scorched. It was slathered with their original sauce which was a worchestershire based bbq sauce and some onions (big and chunky)…it wasn’t bad… but it wasn’t something I would have to run back for…
I would eat here again… if I had too!!!
What do you think? Are you Milo’s fan??? The shake was good, I stole a quick sip while he was in the restroom. I love their tea… a little sweet but hell that is what Southern Sweet Tea is suppose to be SWEET !!!

This is fast food done right. I love the special sauce on the burger. And the conecuh sausage is awesome. Great location near the office.

One word… conecuh sausage, OK that’s 2 words. Never heard of it, love it. Wish I was a Hobbit and could have 2^nd breakfast. The breakfast sandwich looked like it had 2 eggs scrambled in it, nice soft bun, but the clear champion is the conecuh… it is a smoke sausage.
The service was wonderful, all smiles and very polite, which is important since I am not a morning person. Even the commercially produced hash brown rounds were cooked to perfection… crispy outside — soft inside. The coffee was very good… better than a $ 5 Starbucks. The cinnamon rounds were light, airy and full of flavor. If I play my cards right I’ll be going there for lunch.

Stopped in here for my first Milo’s experience. It will be my last. While the staff was nice and prompt, the establishment was not clean. By the end of my meal I noticed a small fly on my drink top, a dead spider above the plant hanging from the ceiling toward the front center of the restaurant.
The burger was less than stellar. It was more like a hockey puck. A Mickey D’s burger would have been more satisfactory. My stomach hasn’t stopped telling me how bad of a decision I made by going into this place.
I wish it was better, but I can definitely leave Milo’s alone in the foreseeable future.

Any Milo’s is a good one, but this one is a bit slow. Also, no sauces out on the bar like at others.
However, they do have breakfast and salads here, not sure if that’s all locations.

I’m not sure what these two other reviews saw in this place. I have to say the ” burger” was more than likely not quality beef, not sure what it was but I was not a fan. It may be very likely why they smother it in a BBQ sauce. I’d pass on this spot if I were you. Oh french fries were OK.

Milo’s rocks! I don’t know what’s in that secret sauce, but I have always suspected it contains heroin or something equally addictive. The sauce comes already mixed to the stores, so the employees don’t know what’s in it, either. But I do know that the secret ingredient on the french fries is popcorn salt! Tasty. Best fries around, as well, so don’t overlook that.
The other magical product at Milo’s is the tea. The tea was so good that they created a separate company to sell it! You can find Milo’s Tea at gas stations, etc. all around now. And there is no such thing as «un-​sweet» Milo’s tea — you should just get a Diet Coke if you’re not getting the sweet tea.
But back to the sauce — no, you can’t dunk you’re fries in it! That ruins the fries and wastes the sauce. Don’t do it. But you cannot have too much sauce on your Milo Burger or cheeseburger. Don’t go with a tie on — I have done it, I admit, but it’s dangerous. You’ll either spill something on your shirt and/​or tie, or you’ll get the sauce on your pants because you didn’t realize it was on your hands when you reached into your pocket for your keys.
As for the fries, no, you cannot put ketchup on them!!! Agh! You’re ruining the fries if dunk them in ketchup, and it’s even worse than dunking them in the Milo’s sauce. I put ketchup on my fries at McDonald’s, etc., but NOT AT MILO’S!
I’ve been eating at Milo’s for 30 years, and as the company has grown, they have had to learn to cater to the uninitiated. It was a sad day when they first offered ketchup for the ignorant. It was an eye-​rolling day when they introduced soft-​serve ice cream, but I understood because it’s such an obvious money-​maker.
The chicken tenders, well, I guess I’ll accept it, as not everyone like burgers (commies!). They’re not bad, at least as good as anyone else’s chicken fingers, and the sauce helps. But it’s not the same. I view it as something I can get my kids while I enjoy the burger.
People have strong opinions about Milo’s: love or hate. There’s no in between. But unless you’re some sort of vegan or just really persnickety about sticky fingers (great album, by the way), you’ll love it.

I loved everything about Milo’s: spotlessly clean, no waiting, friendly counter help, and fresh, hot food served quickly with a smile. On the other hand, I didn’t grow up in Birmingham, and I was not prepared for a Milo’s burger: no lettuce, no tomato, and a soul-​destroying layer of so-​called ‘brown sauce’ (I think) oozing out from underneath the freshly grilled bun. Um, no thanks. Of course, that burger is pretty much the entire point of the place — if you like ‘em, this was a great place to get ‘em. (And if you don’t, really, just get the sweet tea — it’s aces.)
