Miller's Downtown: Reviews & Ratings
A superb experience dining here. The food is incredibly good for the price! I got the Nashville chicken tenders and let me tell you, be ready for the heat! It sneaks up on you. The first couple tenders are hot but by the time you’re done you’re drying and dabbing your eyes. The fries are awesome! My wife got the lobster bisk and she enjoyed it. Highly recommend the Devils Backbone Vienna Lager!
Do you like Dave Matthews Band? This is where Dave used to work before he made it big! Really cool and quaint atmosphere and the staff are attentive and friendly! Grab a cheese steak, a burger, or even Dave's famous Reuben named after him. Located within the Downtown Mall area, there are plenty of things to do, but Miller's is a must! I highly recommend grabbing a bite to eat, a drink at the bar, or hanging out with friends and if you're lucky, catching live music!
Wife had the fried green tomato salad and I had the French toast breakfast with bacon potatoes and fruit, we finished with a huge slice of key lime pie. We loved this place. The food and staff were great. Definitely a cool place to visit especially if you love Dave Matthews band.
Can’t recommend this spot enough. I travel the country for job my and eat in a new city several times per week. Miller’s Downtown is the best bar I’ve been to in the US. Amazing environment and excellent food. Top tier service as well. Our bartender Bri was so knowledgeable, kind and efficient. Will be back!
Excellent bar with numerous whiskey and bourbons. We came for an after dinner cocktail. Excellent cocktails. Strongly recommend. We’ll be back soon.
amazing vibes and the coolest staff. all the bartenders are on point!! they balance the college crowd with grace and provide a welcome environment to enjoy any and all floors depending on your level of debauchery.
Jazz night was fun and a great atmosphere. My food was good but could have been better seasoned. Would still recommend.
Best service I’ve had in a while - Danica was amazing! We had the mozzarella sticks, chicken and waffles, and the cauliflower bites. Everything was great - especially given that this was all typical bar food! My only note: the chicken could’ve been a lot crispier!
