"Chicken Wonton Tacos are my favorite! And they never disappoint "
"The portion is significantly smaller than what I’ve seen in person and it just looks like the cookie was scooped out bit by bit, dumped into the container without a care, and then half-drowned in caramel sauce. I thought the taste might make up for it, but somehow that was just as underwhelming as everything else, it wasn't as flavorful as it is in person."

"all my time ordering food from here, I've never had an issue with it except I've never gotten sauces. I order extra, pay for them, and don't receive. the chicken is consistent, fries are great, can't complain about it."
"I've seen larger wings on a canary. Breading was soggy from "swimming" in the dull flavoured sauce. I much prefer the long ago wings, that meant you got the entire chicken wing not these tiny partial "canary sized" wings. The coleslaw is crisp and tasty; but not worth the $4.00+ for the half a cup portion you receive. I definitely will not be back."

"When most of the diners around the area plummeted in their food quality because of flation and post pandemic food depression, I was so happy and surprised that they haven't here. Their portions are generous and they use clean oil. The Cheeseburger was perfect. The bun they use is high restaurant quality, the burger meat was cooked right, it's fresh, juicy, and meaty. It came with 2 big slices of juicy red tomatoes and actual fresh green leafy lettuce, not the cheap iceberg kind everybody uses. The Prime Rib French Dip was generously portioned with piled high meat and cheese. The only issue I had with this that it was very salty. The bread was soft and crusty on the outside. Wonderful texture and flavor. The fries were great, you can tell that they clean their oil daily because the fries looked clean and not tanned from old oil. You can also smell and taste that the fries were not over fried. Everywhere else always over fry and over salt it too much. I like how they didn't do that here. Awesome. The Mashed Potato was a pleasant surprise. It's actual hand mashed little red potatoes! Loved it. This is my personal new favorite diner now. Thank you for keeping the prices fair but importantly delivering on quality which rarely exists now. Last thing, I really like that they don't over use those one time use plastic containers/packages that are horrible for the environment. "
"Everything was delicious! I got the Eggs Benedict and substituted the Canadian bacon with spinach and feta. One of my all time favorite breakfasts and this place makes it consistently well. We also ordered Brioche French Toast for my son and he loved it. I had a piece too and it was very good. I was nervous about having this delivered since I always do pickup, but the food was warm and as delicious as ever."

"The Indochine Sheimp and Chicken had hardly any apricot or cranberries. It was savory instead of savory and sweet. The Asian Nacho Tacos had hardly any beans and was generally dry. It definitely was not the quality of food that I am used to and was not worth the money at all."

"The Famous Bowl is good, but not filling. If you could picture the portions of this its like 1 cup of mashed potatoes, 1/4 cup of corn, 4-5 small pieces of chicken, a sprinkle of cheese all dowsed in gravy. Although the flavor is good , you are pretty much filling up on mashed potatoes. The Biscuit and Cole Slaw are delicious! If you are looking for something more hearty, get the corn and mashed potatoes as a side and order chicken as your main meal. "

"Pregnancy craving for buffalo wings SATISFIED! I'm always disappointed by the soggy wings I typically get when ordering delivery from other restaurants and pizza joints, so we tried Millers for the first time - they were PERFECT! Perfect sauce, still hot and crispy, not soggy at all, and I asked for one extra blue cheese and they gave me two! Zingers with blue cheese and garlic Parm sauce mixed were an excellent addition, the warm Bavarian pretzel was warm and crispy and perfect (wrapped in foil instead of a plastic container which I'm sure helped), and the loaded fries tasted fresh and perfect, which is again surprising since that's usually a guaranteed delivery cold and soggy dish. Thanks to the team at Miller's for packing the take out order with such care and making sure our food quality wasn't compromised in transit. Glad to have gotten exactly what I was craving, me and my baby belly are super happy, and we will definitely be ordering again (going for burgers or cheese steaks next time!)"
