I have been searching for a restaurant that serves Steak Fajitas as good as my favorite Mexican Restaurant in New Jersey. Miller's Ale House is the place to go for EXCELLENT steak fajitas.

I realized I found what I've been searching for when I saw the photo of the Steak Fajitas on the menu. I said to myself, "this must be too good to be true". I ordered the Steak Fajitas and hoped they were prepared like the photo. Yes, they were. Let me explain:

When I ordered, I was asked how I would like the steak cooked. That was the first sign that this beef will be as delicious as my favorite Mexican restaurant in NJ. I ordered the steak to be cooked medium. These are thick juicy slices of steak, not tiny skinny tiny strips of overdone steak as other restaurants serve. Miller's fajitas steak is scrumptious and pink in color. Yes, Fajita steak that is actually cooked to perfection with LOTS OF FLAVOR!!!!! Oh, my goodness. The flavor is exceptional because it is actually seasoned.....probably marinated. The steak, not only tasted great but was juicy.

OK.....now about the veggies: the peppers and onions were sauteed until they were soft.....yes I said soft. Finally, a restaurant who knows how to cook Fajita vegetables correctly.

Four flour tortillas were brought to the table in a tortilla holder, not just rolled up in aluminum foil as other restaurants do it. The accompaniments are sour cream, two shredded cheeses, tomatoes and onions and shredded lettuce. Guacamole is $.99 extra. The meal, without the Guacamole is $13.49 and worth every penny. What is also not included with the Steak Fajitas is rice and refried beans. I didn't miss them though because I was enjoying the steak so much.

The service was excellent. We arrived a the restaurant as it was opening. The restaurant was filled to capacity within 15 to 20 minutes and this was on a Sunday.

Next time I'm ordering a Margarita to go with Miller's fabulous Steak Fajitas!

I just had lunch steak fajitas on Thursday, they have to be mighty good to beat Fiesta Grande at Colony, and only $9.90. They come out to your table still sizzling on a metal plate, almost too much to eat. I might give Miller's a try, because they did have the best hamburger I've ever eaten. Just plain with grilled onions on a nice roll.

Do not think the fajitas at Colony are very good. I will try Millers.

Fiesta Grande Steak Fajitas can not compare to Miller's Ale House for one reason........the steak. Fiesta Grande beef is small, tiny, thin slivers of beef that are over cooked. There is no pink to them at all and to be honest, the beef does not taste seasoned.

All I can say is to try Miller's Ale House Steak Fajita and you will see and taste what I mean.

Exactly why I don't like Fiesta Grande! I like meat medium rare!

Do they serve salsa with them? If so, how is the salsa? In my opinion, the salsa is as important as the meat in fajitas. That is one of my complaints with Cody's. Their steak fajitas are incredible with regards to the steak used. Cooked right, and very tasty. Most of the time they don't bring out any salsa - just chopped tomatoes.

No salsa or chips. Miller's is not a Mexican restaurant although they do Steak Fajitas better than any Mexican restaurant I have tried in The Villages or near The Villages. I would expect Salsa and chips at a Mexican restaurant but not at a sports bar/restaurant such as Miller's Ale House.

Next time I go I will ask if they have salsa and chips but I have a feeling the answer will be "no".

We used Miller’s Ale House in our Previous home in Boynton Beach, we went there almost every week, yes they are AWESOME, good food great prices and finally a great restaurant here in the Villages that serves real good food at reasonable prices and awesome service, this is one that I don’t mind waiting for

I hear ya!!! That's all the bad stuff that, if put in front of me, I can't resist. I LOVE chips and salsa and even better yet, cheso. I LOVE the seasoned rice and re-fried beans (made in lard) and try just to have a small taste and not consume all of that bad stuff.

Not having the bad stuff is perfectly fine with me. I'd rather have the excellent perfectly cooked and seasoned beef that Miller's offers vs the inferior beef that is offered from other restaurants in this area. Not to mention Miller's offers peppers and onions cooked to perfection. The "sauce" on the sizzling caste which flavors the beef and veggies is bursting with flavor so I honestly don't need the rice and beans to enjoy this meal.

I wish I could enjoy all that bad stuff but I'm afraid my waistline doesn't want me to anymore. I can imagine what those refried beans have done to my arteries over the years too. Sooo happy Miller's offers a healthier and tastier version of Steak Fajitas so I can enjoy the meal without the guilt.

I'm similar, I like the salsa and chips and the rice, in fact I tell them to hold the beans and just rice as well. They give you twice the rice and my wife orders #6 at Fiesta Grande and it's a soft taco and she has just rice. They have the best tasting rice, I could almost make a meal out of it. The steak strips are well done, I like steak med well to well, don't like rare or red, and the strips are perfect. I cut them up as the plate is sizzling to make them even smaller. Much easier to eat and chew when the steak pieces are small like the onions and pepper. Miller's has so many other great items, I think I'll skip the fajitas for now.

Can you order the meat medium rare on your fajita?

I had requested medium rare twice and both times over done brown slivers.

Understood. If you decide to try one last time, ask for Jesse who is the owner.

Had the Steak Fajitas this afternoon and they were the best I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Good first time all around experience.

Best make reservations.
Every time I drive by the parking lot is full.
I haven't tried the restaurant yet and not familiar with the franchise

Not surprised to hear that. Glad you enjoyed them.

Did you miss the chips and salsa before the Fajitas were brought to the table? Did your meal suffer by not having re-fried beans and seasoned rice?

Went to Miller’s today for lunch with my sister and B-I-L. Again, the place was packed at 1:00. My sister was so disappointed to hear Miller’s does not serve re-fried beans with their Fajitas but still ordered the Flat Iron Steak Fajitas. The steak was cooked to perfection and the peppers and onions were sautéed soft. Sis could not believe how delicious the Fajitas were. She said she has never finished the peppers and onions when eating Fajitas. Today she finished everything on the caste plate. She LOVED them and said the steak was great.

I asked about reservations or call ahead seating. The answer is “no” to both.

We are going there this weekend. I am definitely ordering the steak fajitas.

We attempted to go there when they first opened, but it was "invitation only". Finally made it there a few weeks later and won't be going back. Everything we ordered was sub standard. Fish & chips were greasy, fries were bland, nachos had huge pieces of steak, Philly Cheese sandwich w/chicken didn't look or taste like chicken, but the onion soup was really good. Nope, won't be returning.

Unless Mexican restaurant in Colony has new owners in the past year, we didn’t care for any of their dishes. We lived in TX 28 yrs.

Dag Bean.....u right on target!! The steak is cooked PERFECTLY...and like u said before - that’s the key!

Most all the “Mexican” places over cook the steak - not Millers.

Miller’s provides everything one needs to enjoy the fajita. The lack of chips/beans/rice....doesn’t matter. I can’t believe I typed that but I did and I’m now a convert!

Good call Coffeebean.....

Thanks. I'm glad you had a good experience with the Steak Fajitas and you came back to tell us about it.

I've ordered the Steak Fajitas a couple more times since I first started this thread. Each time the Steak Fajitas have been as delicious as the first time. They season the beef to perfection besides offering a nice slice of meat rather than slivers and cooking it so it retains pink and juiciness. Consistency is the key and so far, Miller's is on point.
