Millies Lunchnet

I’m one of those people that never writes reviews, in fact this may be my very first one on Unilocal,but I just can’t resist. I think Millie’s is one of the most underrated places in Philly. I discovered them thanks to Grubhub some 3+ years ago and they’re still one of my all time favorite places to order from.
I just received my delivery about 20 minutes ago, everything I ordered was phenomenal. Let me tell you, this isn’t an ice cream sundae I’m eating, this is a masterpiece. Their burgers are also amazing; it’s the only place I know of that will top my burger with cheese steak. If you’ve got a meat tooth like me, they’ll fulfill all your carnivorous needs.
They have such a wonderful variety, great quality, good prices and the delivery is always early. Hope this place keeps going strong for a long time.

Good food, great shakes and sundaes. Delivery time is very iffy if you use grubhub but is reasonable through other methods.

What place you know in south philly that delevers milkshakes and ice cream!!! I ordered milkshakes here through grubhub and they were amazing! You can even create you own custom shake. Awesome customer service. They delivered very quickly! The food was just average.

The chocolate covered strawberry shake was delicious and hit the spot. The burger was completely over cooked and so hard I threw it in the trash. Fries were edible. I would only go here for the ice cream IF I went back.

Great shakes, great clubs… I get the Millie’s club every time and it never disappoints. Also their delivery drivers are awesome, once they gave me a regular soda instead of a diet… I really didn’t care all that much but when I said «oh I thought I got a diet soda, no big deal» and «don’t waste your time, I like this kind better any way» the driver insisted that he’d make it right and literally less than 5 minutes later he was back at my door with the 2 liter… I love this place

Seriously ordered ice cream it’s now 2hrs and still not here. What a Joke called 3 times young girl don’t have a clue. Said its out for delivery guess they were coming from Wildwood or something. Never Again…
What a Joke!!!

Happy with the delivery time, but disappointed in the sandwich.
We ordered a burger/​fries and chicken cutlet hoagie for delivery through Grub Hub. After ordering, we were told our delivery would take an hour and a half, so we were pleasantly surprised when it arrived within 45 minutes. The burger was good, but the chicken sandwich, which the menu said comes with lettuce and tomato, came completely plain.
I’m not saying lettuce and tomato would save the world, but it wouldn’t take much to dress this sandwich up. And if the menu is wrong, someone should fix that.

The Ice Cream itself is pretty good. It’s not amazing like that of some of the other frozen dessert shops in the city. If you are planning on ordering from here, I recommend you physically go to the location. The delivery here is less than acceptable. I’ve ordered from here 4 times and each and every time it took over an hour and 40 minutes. On one occasion it took over 2 hours for the food to arrive. Here’s the problematic common sensical dilemma– when you run and ice cream joint, especially in the summer months, if you take forever to deliver, the ice cream begins to melt. However, we ordered tonight and it got here in 40 minutes. So Id recommend going there if you want your ice cream cold. If you don’t care about waiting and the desserts melting, take a chance on the delivery.

Will wait forever for delivery!!! Great milkshakes, but I usually only get 2 milkshakes and I’ve ordered from there 4 times and I know grubhub give huge time windows for delivery, but no place actually makes you wait that long!!! Millie’s does. It’s a little frustrating because they have great shakes so I suffer through it but it is absolutely ridiculous that it takes almost 2 hours to deliver two milkshakes a few blocks even if your busy sorry I used to be a delivery driver there’s no way. Not once have I gotten an order delivered in less then an hour and a half.

I want to start off saying that when Millie’s gets the order RIGHT, it’s excellent. Mind you we rarely order anything besides hoagies and ice cream, but as Millie’s can attest, there’s a TON that can be screwed up with just an ice cream order!
We continue to order from here for one reason… CONVENIENCE. They have ice cream all year a mere block away. If they were farther we wouldn’t bother.
When we order ice cream we get the exact same order every time. Yet very single time they screw something up. Recently, the thing they’ve been screwing up is hot fudge. In my sundae I’d have hard, chewy, nasty chunks of burnt old fudge throughout the sundae! My boyfriend ordered a vanilla cone and got butter pecan! Thank goodness he’s not allergic to pecans! I only like sprinkles on the whip cream. I don’t want them all over the ice cream and I TELL them this and I get a pound of sprinkles in the sundae. It’s to the point where I say no whip cream and they’ll still put whip cream on it (they did that tonight).
The owner needs to train his employees better on how to make a sundae and pay better attention to his business and how it’s being run. He employs young teenagers who seem like they’d rather be anywhere else but there (some are sweet & nice while others are apathetic and sometimes downright rude). Really, How do you manage to screw up a vanilla ice cream cone???
The moral of this very long review is simple. If you’re close by and want ice cream (or prepackaged snacks and drinks) in the dead of winter, sure, give it a try. But if you have other options, this place is not recommended by me. If I had a car, I’d go to friendlys or the pop shop in collingswood or nifty fifties! Love all of them!

Good, but, not absolutely the best food. Not sure what everybody else ordered but my diablo sandwich was tasty and very spicy. Jalapenos galore if you you’re not the type to like too much heat on top of the pepperjack cheese. My only other complaint is that our order took over an hour. We live in South Philly so it’s not like they were clueless about where our house was.
Would get food again, but, think think takeout might be a better route.

It took an hour and a half for delivery or I wouldn’t be as harshly reviewing here. Got a salad, wrap, burger, mozzarella sticks and two milkshakes. Wrap is soggy I guess due to how long it probably sat as well as the mozzarella sticks being cold. Bummer. Shakes are good.

I can’t rate their food because we never received it.
We just had the WORST delivery experience ever. I seriously have never rated or complained to a business ever in my life. I have worked in the food industry and know that sometimes shit happens but this is beyond bad so here I go:
We ordered through GrubHub and they said that it would take an hour & 15 minutes to an hour an 25 minutes. I was concerned because my family and I were already starving, so I called Millie’s and the rude, apathetic girl that answered the phone said we are busy but it should be there within the hour. So, I didn’t cancel the order.
An HOUR AND 40 MINUTES later, I called again. (I just want to point out that I live a few blocks away from Millie’s) Again, I receive the less than enthusiastic employee, that barely seems to give a flying fuck. I explain to her that I had called before and she had told me an hour and that it had now been 1 hour and 40 minutes and she says that sorry they were busy, and that it was enroute.
2 HOURS LATER, my husband called and asked to speak to the manager. He says we’ve been waiting over two hours for a delivery that still isn’t here and we are going to cancel unless you can convince us not to. The manager says the guy is already on the way, I can’t do anything. (I guess the driver doesn’t have a cell phone) My husband says,” Two hours is acceptable to you??? You won’t do anything for us???” the manager says,” What can I say? I run a busy business. I’ll cancel your order.” CLICK. He hung up.
Never in my life have I received such horrible customer service. No place that gives zero fucks about their customers, deserves to stay in business.
Update:It’s now been three hours and they just dropped the food off, no charge. The driver said that the manager apologizes. Sorry, three hours is inexcusable, the food is cold. I stand by my review.

Don’t order from here girl is rude, July 2^nd

Call back to tell them they wanna stick her on the phone !!! I DONT WANT TO TALK TO HER COULDN’T GET IT RITE THE FIRST TIME

Never again Millie’s

LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Their old fashioned Italian hoagie is fantastic. Their wraps are so yummy. Their fricken ice cream and shakes are incredible.
Pretty much a huge menu that has almost any fried, sweet, salty goodness you could want.
I only order from there occasionally because it isn’t terribly healthy but man if you just got to have carbs or grease do it! On that note the hot dog with bacon and cooper sharp cheese is heavenly!
Every time we have company and we order out we choose Millie’s and they are always happy about it. In fact we have a couple of friends that request we order from there when they come over.
Based on earlier comments I think the take away is don’t go in there but do order for delivery.

I wound up here the other night completely by accident. It suddenly began pouring rain while walking down Broad, and it was the closest place to sit for a bite to eat.
Millies is certainly a unique place. It appeared very «family run» and there were about 10 people working there this quiet evening. I think they do a lot of pick-​up and/​or delivery orders because they seemed busy, though we were the only ones actually in the restaurant for the hour we dined.
The menu is lengthy (ignore the menu listed here on Unilocal — it’s incomplete!). There are sandwiches of all sorts, fryer items, and mostly ice cream desserts! The prices are dirt cheap and the quantity and taste were excellent. I got a grilled cheese sandwich for $ 3, while my buddy got a large chicken parm sandwich for $ 9 (enough for two meals). We finished our dinner with a small ice cream… and let’s just say that our entire bill amounted to what we would usually spend on an appetizer at most places!
The atmosphere is nothing fancy at all: run-​down diner tables and chairs, and refrigerators full of sodas lining the wall. But, if you just want a tasty and cheap bite to eat, this place will hit the spot. Also, the staff was super friendly!

This place looks like your typical corner store from the outside, and pretty much on the inside, too, but the staff is nice, there are a ton of options, and they will give you more ice cream than you know what to do with. Seriously, it took me 3 days to eat a kiddie sized cup. I’m looking forward to making more stops here.

Another reason why I heart south philly.
We spent $ 6.50 and got more ice cream than 2 hungry people could finish. They completely pack it into the cup, and it’s awesome.
I had half birthday cake (which actually had bits of yellow cake, rainbow sprinkles, and mini chocolate chips ground up in it), and half cotton candy (a softer, creamer way to enjoy that cotton candy taste). Yes, I ordered ice cream like a 12 year old. But good ice cream is inspiring like that.

This review is only for the ice cream — I have never had food from here.
First off — who even TRIES to put an ice cream cone in a bag. I mean, seriously? If I order a cone of cherry vanilla, please hand me my cone with a napkin, don’t man-​handle it into a brown paper bag!
My roommate has gone here a handful of times and the girls are always rude to him.
Staff — not the best
Ice cream — tasty, but please hand it to me!

Banana splits FTW!
Never hand a sandwich here, but have had ice cream a gazillion times. I love it. Very South Philly Sundae place. If you’ve never been down here outside of going to SPTR you wouldn’t understand.
(btw it would be nice if someone could correct the spelling of this place)
