The meat was not tender at all and was so chewy, it took forever to be able to swallow the first bite. I told the server of my concern and was told it was a corporate decision to not use skirt steak any longer and they changed to a less expensive cut of meat.

I vowed never to order the Steak Fajitas again until two days ago. I asked our server if Miller's had gone back to the original skirt steak for their fajitas and I was told they are actually using a more expensive cut of meat now. So......I ordered the Steak Fajitas and kept my fingers crossed. Well, the meat was just as bad as I remembered from a few months ago when I vowed never to order the Steak Fajitas again at this restaurant.

I spoke to the manager regarding my concerns of not being able to chew the steak. He offered chicken fajitas instead and adjusted the check. I agreed to the chicken but I do not enjoy chicken fajitas nearly as much as good Steak Fajitas. Oh well, cross off that dish forever at Miller's. They went from the very best to the absolute worst Steak Fajitas I have ever had.
FOREVER is a bit harsh, as they were accommodating to adjust your check. With the current and scoring cost of good steak Miller’s would probably have had to price their Fajita’s at a point where not many would order them. Instead they substituted a steak at a more reasonable price point. I love Miller’s and eat there often. At this point it may be the best decision to just pull them off the menu as Appleby’s did. I would not want to be in the restaurant business with current supply and price issues, along with employee difficulties. Just be happy an establishment like Miller’s is surviving. Adjust your eating desires a bit until we get through these difficult times.
