As avid readers of Roadfood.com, we have come to organize all of our roadtrip eating around this site's recommendations. As a result, we've had some of the best meals ever. Don & Millie's, however, was by far our biggest disappointment to date. Perhaps we were there on an off night.
We ordered the Cheese Frenchees and onion rings. Both tasted like they had been fried in a vat of grease that was way overdue for a change. For drinks we ordered the 99-cent margarita and a 99-cent bottle of Bud. The Margarita was by far the worst we've ever had. One drink and it was quickly moved off to the side, leaving the 99-cent bottle of Bud as the highlight of our meal. Perhaps if the grease had not been so stale, and used to fry everything on their menu, we would have had a better experience.

"The beers and margaritas are 99 cents. Yet Don & Millie's is more like a McDonald's than a dark pub."
