Miller's Ale House - Restaurant in Bradenton - 7175 FL-64, USA

First time here at the highway 64 location. This place has just opened and I see a lot of negative reviews. Well our experience was great. We got there at 4:30 and got seated quickly. Markus the server was great. The libations were pretty good. My cheeseburger was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. My wife’s masala burger was great she said. Our friend’s Mimi’s Fiesta bowl was perfect and the Prime Rim French dip was great. I have nothing but great things to say about our food or service. Markus was top shelf like the drinks. Will I go back? Yes definitely.

I was excited when this location opened as ale house wings were the most consistent and the best tasting verses other chains. Ate at this location a couple of times. Some were okay, and others were a total miss. I'm not one to ding a place. However, this time though, was so bad I hope management sees this, as I couldn't even speak to them ( I'll get to that).Ordered Cajun chicken pasta, and hot bbq wings to go. Got home and the pasta was missing the chicken, opened the wings, they looked like they weren't even cooked. They were pale and rubbery looking, and no sauce. Called to let the store know what happened, the staff who I spoke with thought I was lying and but eventually said come back. Got to the store I brought back both items back, the staff still thought I was lying, until they opened the wings. The person I was dealing with, went back got some sauce and was like just toss them and they'll be fine. I just wanted I ordered. The person I was dealing with eventually had the kitchen make two new entrees. I asked to speak with the manager just to notify them so that the kitchen would be more aware. However the person I was dealing with said that the manager was not in, that they were in charge (which I knew was a lie). Didn't push it further cause all I wanted was the order I placed. Very disappointed after that encounter.

Came here today with the Mrs and grandson. First the place was really crowded! Seems everyone wants to try out the new restaurant in town. The atmosphere here is very much like other Ale Houses. A sports bar venue. It seems like the final floor layout is not quite completed. Service was very good. Our waitress was really on the ball and took care of us really well. The Mrs really enjoyed the lobster ravioli. The grandson reported the fish, and chips were ok. I was disappointed with my burger. The experience in general was not as good as expected. I would expect this to improve.

If you want bland, average at best, overpriced bar food from a noisy and uncomfortable overcrowded locale this is your spot! Service was the best one could hope for from the entitled snowflake gen x staff. You could probably catch a game here if that’s your thing though!

Popped in here for a quick beer and a snack after a bit of shopping one Tuesday afternoon. They have a nice selection of local craft brews and some less-local craft brews. Lots of nice IPAs to choose from along with the tried and true, if what is what you like. We shared a full rack of ribs, their Tuesday special. It came incredibly fast and was very yummy! Megan at the bar treated us very well. We will be going back again!

We were so excited to hear a Miller's was opening in Bradenton! First time going to one. We decided to place a mobile order to go after calling and being told it was a 1 hour wait. We arrived to pick up our moblie to go order, and the front door hostesses were super nice, and directed to the to-go pick up counter. The to-go hostess was eating with her hands, no silverware, behind the to-go counter, and asked me to hold on, and took another bite of whatever she was eating. Then she proceeded to get up and she said, "your order isn't ready yet", and went to the back. She came back empty handed and then realized my order was already there sitting on the lower shelf in an open bag. It was already paid and she handed it to me with the kids drink and ice cream separately which I appreciated. We were all so excited to eat, and opened the bag and my youngest said "yucky" after trying the chicken tenders and I tried them and they were truly disgusting, no seasoning at all, not even salt. Then I gave her the mash potatoes and gravy and they were ice cold, I mean it was bad. The adults got the Chicken Nachos to start, and they were great, flavorful, all the toppings, not soggy, and some of the chicken was overcooked and in large chunks, so we tossed that part but the rest of the nachos was good. The surf and turf dinner entree had fried shrimp and a steak med rare w a loaded baked potato. The shrimp were good, it came with cocktail sauce, the baked potato wasn't loaded it only had cheese, scallions and bacon, no butter or sour cream, nowhere in the bag either. The steak was atrocious. It was leathery, hard, had a large tendon going through it, could not even cut it with a serrated steak knife and no seasoning at all, again, not even salt. Steak was stone cold as well. The other side was broccoli and it cooked very obviously in a microwave, it had brown burns all over and was like eating old grass, fiber and I couldn't even chew it. Nasty. So very disappointing. The other entree was the Big Red Chicken sandwich with fries. The sandwich was good, pretty small though, not what you would expect. The fries were cold, and you already know, no seasoning whatsoever. At all. Not even salt. Super gross. We called the restaurant to let them know, and we were on hold for about 20 min (we could've just driven back with the food, it would've been faster). A manager answered and we explained what was going on, and she was amazing, top notch customer service and sincerely apologized and refunded us immediately. We also received an email with an apology from the GM which we appreciated as well. Customer service A+. Food was subpar, disappointing, mediocre at best. No one in the family wants to go back. I had hyped it up and it was such a let down. * We ended up going to Dairy Queen on 64 for the youngest to get something edible, and they never dissappoint! Food is always fresh and they're so nice. *

My wife and I have been to Miller’s in South Jersey and also in Sarasota and now we have one right down the road in Bradenton! We’ve been eager to try this location but it has been extremely busy since grand opening. Food: On par with our other experiences. Zingers are our favorite because they have a great fry on the outside and still juicy on the inside. Their selection of sauces is great. I got Garlic Parm with Buffalo sauce on the side. The side of buffalo arrived half empty because it was spilled on the plate. I was fine with this, but others may not have been. My wife was able to easily customize her order of the Zingers Tikka Wrap to just Zingers and buffalo sauce in a wrap and she was happy with it. We both got sides of fries which were crispy outside, fluffy inside, and well seasoned. We also got a pretzel which is another favorite because it comes with beer cheese and tasty honey mustard. Miller’s has a great selection of draft beers including local brews. I had the Orange Blossom Pilsner, a Florida beer, and it was cold and delicious. Service: We arrived right at 11am opening to ensure we could try the new location without a wait. We got a spot at the bar and were taken care of immediately and we were checked on throughout our meal while the place filled up. We never had to wait for a request because of the bartenders’ attentiveness. Christian and Megan were the bartenders. Christian was our main bartender and gave great service. After my first beer I wanted to try a different one but the keg was kicked and they didn’t have another so I stuck with what I had previously. A short while later Christian arrived with the beer I requested and said they found another keg in the walk-in. He graciously said it was on him. This was great customer service and in doing so we stayed a little longer and ordered a pretzel, increasing revenue for the restaurant. Win-win! Atmosphere: This location is smaller than others we’ve been to which we believe is a contributing factor to the long wait times others have commented about and we have experienced. We tried to visit a few weeks ago when family was in town. We were a party of 9 on a Monday night at 6pm and were given a wait time of 1 and a half hours so we went elsewhere. Being inside today, we saw that the restaurant is largely booths accommodating 4 guests. There were only 3 high top tables that could be used to accommodate larger parties. There is also wasted space by the bar where there are benches seemingly for guests waiting to be seated for their meals. This area could easily accommodate 16-20 additional seats in a multitude of ways either booths, freestanding tables and chairs, or high tops. Space and dining room seating arrangements aside, the restaurant has 2 bars with ample seating. One bar is inside and another is open to the outside via overhead rollup doors providing a nice open air concept.

Die hard Miller’s customer here. Have visited many Miller’s in Florida . We were looking forward to be here on opening week just to be able to brag about it. I have to say the dynamic going on in this restaurant, and the customer service that was great! . The new menu items did not disappoint! Thank you David (Conor McGregor’s brother) you rock!!!
