Miller's Pub & Restaurant

Millers Pum is apparently known for its ribs but I happened in off the street and wanted a burger and what a burger it turned out to be. I would definently rate the hamburger at Millers as the best I have ever had. I can't wait to try the ribs on my next trip to Chicago. Oh, the service should also get a mention as being nothing less than sensational as one should expect from an establishment of this caliber. more

I'm trying to figure out why all these restaurants have a claim to have ""Famous Award Winning..."" food to their names. Obviously, one of them is ribs. So after seeing this place being a former Citysearch ""Best of..."" winner, I had to come and try for myself to see if their 'Famous"" ribs were the real deal. Walking in I can tell that the place was spacious, equiped with a long bar and an upstairs area. The place is surrounded with attractive vintage stained glass and with pictures with famous local and national celebrities on their wall. Their menu is pretty basic, mainly showcasing thier BBQ (which was the reason i was there). I ordered the Ribs & Chicken which was a 1/2 slab of wet rubbed ribs with a chicken leg and thigh and a portion of corn on the cob and a plate of fries. But after the first bite of the ribs, I thought to myself, ""What's so famous about this?"" Yes, they were good, but not to the extent I'd call them 'Famous"". It's like I can cook my own ribs at home and brush on some store bought sauce on them. Good and not too dry, but nothing that I personally would give an award to. The chicken was nice and moist which I enjoyed. Actually, I expected fried chicken or chicken wings, but I enjoyed the surprise. The fries were surprisingly my favorite. Not too salty thick cut fries that were fried just right. Of course who could turn down the corn. I just wished they served a whole ear of corn and not some small portion that was boiled and not grilled. It's not a bad place to have lunch at. But personally I think it's becoming more touristy (hense the big cabinets of t-shirts and caps you see when you walk in) and I've had better ribs elsewhere. Come for lunch, but don't expect the ribs to be anything ""Famous"". Pros: Ribs, food is good, plenty of seats at the bar, close to the adams and wabash Brown line stop or the Monroe Red line, decor Cons: parking, failed to see the ""famous"" part more

The ribs are fantastic but everything seems a couple bucks more expensive than it should be. This isn't a brewery, so they have the same selection ... more

The first time I came to Miller's, I had been out for a late night at The Art Institute with friends. We couldn't get the bartender's attention because he was avoiding eye contact with anything that could be mistaken for humanity. It was 10:00 and my girlfriend and I wanted a decent meal that involved martinis, so we hung in there and waited for a table. The hostess eventually took up upstairs. Nice tablecloths, small tables. Pros: Open late, good for the blue cheese, chophouse/Greek dining crowd. Cons: Noisy, rushed a bit, the server forgot some helpful things (eating utensils, the wine we ordered, napkins)... more

We went for the ribs and the service. The ribs were good, in that the sauce was great, but the ribs themselves were not very tender. Coleslaw was runny, and my salad was just average. The service was good and very friendly. The staff were commenting alot on what was on the television. The place has a great atmosphere nad is charming. However, with average food, I can't highly recommend the place. Pros: +Ambience Cons: - Food more

Getting to Miller's is high on my list every time I visit Chicago. The food is always superb, and the staff truly goes out of their way to provide exceptional service. Case in point - my wife and I dined upstairs one evening, thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and headed back to our hotel. Half way down the block from the restaurant, the Maitre-D finally caught up with us and returned my wife's gloves, which she had inadvertently left on the table. We thanked him profusely, but he just shrugged it off, as though he didn't go above and beyond the call. He left an impression just as positive to me as Miller's mouth watering Filet (which I highly recommend, if you don't choose the ribs). These folks make great food, and treat their patrons like honored guests. Miller's is the complete package. Pros: service, service, service - these guys are the best Cons: can be somewhat smokey; small downstairs dining area (for those unable to climb stairs) more

This place is reasonable, and has great service! The Greek Salad was absolutely amazing, I will be visiting this restaurant again. more

We stopped at Miller's after some sightseeing, and found it to be a bit dark and extremely cold (temp-wise). The patrons all seemed to be tourists. We both ordered salads, and thought they were good but nothing to rave about. I guess I was expecting more, given the very high rating. Maybe the bar scene is better, but bring a jacket! more

WHITE BEER is the way to go... the BBQ was smoky and tasty... the prime rib was not bad, either. But oh my god, the white beer was to die for.... you definitely need to get some when you are in town next time. White beer white beer... did I mention their white beer is excellent? Pros: beer, BBQ ribs, price Cons: Noisy ambience more

Our first evening in Chicago, we dined at Miller's because it was highly recommended by several others. The service was excellent. Although I thought the ribs were overrated, I still enjoyed my meal. The portions were huge. I would consider dining there again! Pros: worth the money, huge portions , great service more

Nostalgia headquarters, celebrities photos line all the walls, seating and waiting is minimized, food is superb and priced right. My six year old loved it..huge ribs portion more

This great Chicago instiution has been serving the average man an celebrities for over 50 years. Many movie stars such as Humphrey Bogart & Frank Sinatra have left autograph pictures that are proudly displayed on the walls. Along with many local & national sports celebs. Its unique blend of bar/restaurant sitting next to the historic Palmer House Hilton Hotel is essential for all residents and tourists alike to visit. The beer, wine and liquor selections are outstanding. The food is not bad either with tremendous Baby Back Ribs. They have a combination Half-Slab of Ribs an BBQ chicken leg platter that is to die for. If you are planning a Chicago trip, stop by. You won't be dissapointed. Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Close to trains/subwa more

Good food in the right portions. This close to the theatres and symphony hall, it's not formal (or quiet) but it is the right place to start or finish the evening. more

Miller's Pub has the BEST ribs I have ever tasted. You get a large portion, and everytime I'm in town our entire group will go there several times in one week - we can't get enough of the ribs! more

We had half orders of the ribs - tated great and reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere and great service. Pros: Price, Ribs, Atmosphere Cons: Nothing, Nothing, Nothing more

We ate at Millers Pub for the first time this past weekend and had a wonderful experience. I wish we had gone in there years ago!! The ambience is great as that is important. Then we had the greatest service while eating fresh, hot food. I believe the prices are very fair, especially for this area. This is a great place to eat and they have a new customer for life. Pros: great food, great prices, excellent service more

ENJOY MILLER'S PUB ANYTIME: I have enjoyed the hospitality of Miller's for twenty years. The food, the owners, and the clients make for a wonderfully exciting experience. It is the best bar in the Loop. Pros: good food, good value, good times more

Miller's honors reservations. We arrived early and were given seating withing 5 minutes. Pros: Food well prepared., Reservations on time., Excellent Service. more

After a long day of doing tourist activities and taking in a Cubs game, we were ready for a sit-down meal and wanted good food and a nice atmosphere for a reasonable price. Miller's Pub didn't disappoint. We had steak and baby-back ribs, bith of which were excellent. Good, lean cuts of meat cooked to perfection. I highly recommend it. Pros: good variety, great atmosphere, excellent food Cons: little parking more
