Miller's Pub — Restaurant in Chicago

Overall, overpriced for downtown and not great for a burger.

Went for lunch, service was nice and prompt. Server was very friendly and good.

However, the menu was missing information in burger section specifically. also has strange options for ordering. Maybe it's me, I don't know.

Ordered a Lemonade ($4), was regular fountain stuff. was there quick. I also ordered a cup of the soup ($5), split pea. Split pea was fine but just short on substance and ham.

I Ordered a bacon cheeseburger, ($15 base extra for bacon and cheese) with Swiss, add grilled onions (1.50 extra), pickle chips (1.50 extra), medium rare, please add ketchup, mayo, mustard and the normal sturf. The receipt lists everything, so the server got it right. What I got was missing bacon, missing mayo, had sides of ketchup and mustard? the burger itself was medium rare but at the expense of the outside of the burger. It was missing any crust and was not well flavored. They did give me a lot of pickle chips though. came with tomato and lettuce that were good, and then no mayo but with ketchup and mustard on the side. Fries were fine.

I told the server, he offered to get me some bacon when I was halfway through already. but i was just like remove the bacon from the bill and that's fine. I did not explain the other burger problems because I could see he did things right, but the back of the house did this too him. I had to leave soon anyway

but mostly this is for the price for the quality. Burger was $23 in the end, so $20 for a bacon cheeseburger minus my additions. He said 'she took off the drink which was $4 versus the bacon being $3' so he did try to make it right. was $31.23 out the door pre tip and I still have him 6 for his effort.

I did eat it all, so it was not inedible. and again the service was good. just annoyed at burger problems and price. it's not a $20-30 place...

Miller's Pub: A Chicago Staple

My experience at Miller's Pub was beyond magnificent. It was stellar!

Kenneth, my waiter, was the best fit for me, and he did more than just serve me. He helped me to navigate those ever fluctuating waters known to so many as hunger. Oh yes, I was hungry alright, but for what, I just could not decide. When faced with this particular dilemma while out to eat, I usually refer to my server if I feel that they have similar tastes to my own. Kenneth and I are kindred spirits, so I let him take the lead and he suggested that I order the half rack of ribs, the spanakopida, and the cole slaw, to which I agreed with the addition of a Tom and Jerry (they are in season being that it was almost winter time) as my aperitif and their local dark ale to pair with my entrée.

The ribs were smokey, tender, and juicy. The spanakopida was crispy, buttery, and flaky on the outside, yet tender and slightly cheesy on the inside. It was, hands down, the best spinach pie I have ever had. The cole slaw was, and still remains, the best I have ever eaten. The addition of pineapple as their sweetener for this recipe is inspired. As for my dessert, I had some very delectable options to choose from, but my eyes and that of my server kept going back to their key lime pie, which was, of course, the absolute best I have ever had. Even the presentation was great! A fresh custard style key lime pie, on a fresh made butter flake pie crust, fresh made whipped cream, and freshly grated lime on a purposely chilled dessert plate.

To sum up my entire experience at Miller's Pub: Miller's Pub is full of rich history, delicious comfort food, classic drinks, and fantastic memories.

I highly recommend Miller's Pub to anyone with an appetite for...

Popped in here twice in two days during my time in Chicago recently. The wings are very good, as is the Mediterranean spread. Both are great for sharing as well. The biggest surprise for me was the French dip sandwich, which was truly delightful. If I had tried it on the first night instead of the second, I would have ordered it both times. My biggest knock on this place, and I am solely speaking on the bar side of things since that is where I was at both times, was the service.

The food came out timely, hot, and with no issues. That side of the service was great. But the willingness to accommodate was off. On Sunday, during the Bears game, they had the music off and the game volume cranked up. It was a great time getting to watch the game and chow down on some good food. That said, when we went back the next night for the Monday night game, the game was going on all of the TVs, seemingly most people at and around the bar were watching the game, but they didn't have the sound or subtitles on. I asked 3 different bartenders if they could turn off the music and put on the game volume and got different answers from all of them. "We don't have the ability to do that", "I don't know how", and "It's always just music, we don't have the TVs hooked up like that". When I brought up that they had it on for the Bears game the night before (and understandably so with this being in the heart of Chicago), I was met with silence each time. Just be straight up if you don't want to do it or if you only do it for Bears games.

Overall, it’s a great place to watch Bears games, but average to below-average for other games. The French dip sandwich and wings, however, are...
