The Restaurant
Millie's Bruncheonette is a new concept from local restaurateurs Skylar Bird and Kate Attinello. After passing by the building in late 2019, they began a years-long project to acquire the property, which was previously owned Flemington Borough and the State of New Jersey. Under their creative supervision, the building will undergo a complete retro-vation to transform it back into a vintage style filling station.
Millie's is the namesake of Skylar and Katie's maternal grandmothers, who both happened to go by the same nickname. The menu plans to offer scratch-made classic breakfast and lunch dishes with a hint of their family's Pennsylvania Dutch and German heritage. They drew inspiration for their design by researching and visiting post-war gas stations that were once viewed as symbols of modernization and renewal. Katie and Skylar are excited to get the Filling Station fueling again in 2024; this time with hot coffee and some good old-fashioned hospitality!
