Default Miller’s Ale House

I finally tried Miller’s Ale House this week.
Normally I don’t wait for a half hour but we really wanted to try it.

OMG the Hamburger was off the charts good.
And the pot stickers as an appetizer were also wonderful.

We wouldn’t hesitate to go again.

Next time will try the fajitas.

On my only visit to Millers I ordered a hamburger, plain with just grilled onions and I have to say, it was the best hamburger I ever ate.

I went to Miller's Ale House today (Saturday) arrived at 11:30 to try the steak fajitas. While traveling north on 441 and traffic was solid, a driver in a gold Dodge Mini-Van with Pennsylvania tags without signaling, pulled his car into the lane in front me causing me to hit my breaks to avoid running into him. It was bumper to bumper from Racetrack northbound.

When I got to Miller's he pulled into the parking before me but parked on the far side. I went up to the restaurant and there was people waiting everywhere, on the benches outside, standing inside the foyer and inside the restaurant and a woman by herself was standing in the foyer with an I-pad taking names. I was in line about 2 people back, when this same jerk in the mini-van stepped in front of the line and said, party of 3. The woman punched it in, and I said, hey, there's a line here. He didn't sorry, or excuse me, my fault, he said, oh go ahead, I said, you already gave her your info and woman just stood there and said nothing. She then took my name and said it would be about a 30 minute wait.

The place seemed like a zoo and after waiting 5 minutes and never hearing one named called, we left and went to Outback and got served right away and had a really good meal 6 oz sirloin and lobster for $16.99. I'll have to try it sometime after April.

I ate at one in Orlando. The food was OK, nothing special. I didn't have the hamburger so I can't comment.
I was however very disappointed in the beer selection which was very limited. I expected it to be an ale house and not just another sports bar like Gator's Dockside or Cody's.

What if you don't have a smart phone? Olive Garden has crowds just as bad at lunch and dinner and almost never a wait, and if they need to make you wait, they'll give you a beeper. They didn't plan this too well. I can't imagine jotting down everyone's phone number and then texting them.

Tried Millie Ale House a couple of weeks ago for their steak fajita. It was the first and only time someone asked me how I wanted my steak cooked, (I like it medium rare). It was excellent and the best I've had so far. It was enough for two meals, (IMHO).

We wen their on Saturday at 2 PM and was informed we had a 39 minute wait. We went to the bar to have a drink. We were texted 28 minutes later. The placed was packed. Not a seat at the bar or anywhere else.The waitress informed that were exceptionally busy on weekends.

My father who owned a couple of restaurants said you can tell how a business is doing if the parking lot is full and they have a lot of servers. They won't be going out of business anytime soon, (IMHO).

Good selection of beers and everyone enjoyed their meal. I definitely would go back as some of their other entrees looked good.
