They really have a LOOOOONG way to go to be a functional restaurant. I can see it possibly coming someday since they are a chain but nothing seemed to have gone right with this dinner. I have never gotten home so fast to write a review on a place... Mind you, I am writing this review as I eat my dinner AT HOME after Miller's! I will start with the 3 positives I have for this place: 1. The burger came out cooked well, flavorful and hot with hot fries 2. The 2 hottest hot sauces for the zingers were tasty and had a nice spice (Mt St Helen & 5 Pepper) but I couldn't tell you which is which because no one told me the difference and the server didn't know either 3. The server was sweet and tried Ok, for the terrible experience at this newly opened restaurant that needs to work out a lot of kinks: - Walking into the restaurant an employee walked across the front of us while we were in front of the hostess stand and talking with them. She could have walked behind the hostess stand or behind us - While walking through to our table, the hostess had to stop for a second so she can make a little joking comment to a table instead of doing it after sitting us. Tables were in close proximity and the comment could have waited until we were sat - Asked about any Happy Hour Specials... no one knew if there was one when asked. Server did ask and came back saying they don't. I think they will once more places open around and have competition - Went to the bathroom and came back to see our napkins crumbled up and silverware taken away and never replaced. We didn't say anything since we had mainly finger eating foods - Asked for Tabasco because I like it with snow crab legs and they did not have it. What bar/restaurant chain doesn't have Tabasco on hand?!? Disturbing - Got the zingers/chicken tenders and it did not come tossed like we asked then told the server and agreed it wasn't. She tried to correct the issue by offering us new ones and get them with the sauce on it but we were starving since we waited about 5 times longer than a normal fried food would have taken. So we just asked for the sauce that was supposed to come tossed with. It did come with the other sauces I asked to try the server said she only tried one of the 2 hottest sauces and couldn't differentiate between the 2. Also waited a very long time to see our server to tell her the zingers were off - While waiting for our main entree our server came by and asked if we wanted dessert, we said we didn't even receive our dinners yet. Another long wait for that - Asked if they do any birthday dessert and seeing the 1st review on here just got a free dessert just for showing up and having nothing wrong with their visit, I thought I might be able to get a free birthday dessert like more chain restaurants... Wrong. She came back saying the manager can only give me a discount on their most popular dessert that I wanted to try - Did see the table next to us looking around for the server and heard her apologizing as much as she did at our table during our visit so we weren't the only ones having a not so fabulous time here - Another server came by and dropped off a drink which they probably thought was water but it wasn't and had to ask for a refill - Flies swarming in from outside and around our food but I get it... This is the land of many flying bugs and they have open garage doors with no outdoor seating - 1/2 lb snow crab came out super cold. They were supposed to be server hot or warm would have been acceptable but these were disgraceful sad cold crab that I wouldn't touch. The shrunken meat and the strong unpleasant fishy odor was not even close to how I usually would have them elsewhere. Sent that back and server said she would take that off the bill but DIDN'T! She mentioned to comp off half our bill for the hiccups but it wasn't. A small amount was comped but not the complete amount for the cold sad crab legs that was sent back and/or the zingers that was improperly made. That free birthday dessert would have came in handy at this point to give this place another star but nope, nothing I don't see a reason to come back here unless you want to get cheap drinks and watch one of their many TVs here. If you live nearby, I guess you could get drunk and drive the back ways of Costco and avoid any cops on the main roads. They are lucky to be the first restaurant open in Costco land and to be busy for now. Hopefully they can work out the kinks and run smoother in the near future. But for me, this just reminded me why I've only been to a Miller's maybe a handful of times many years ago and why I have had zero desire of ever going back. read more

Positives: Christian and Erin were really great bartenders. The beer was nice and cold. Negatives: Mickey was the third bartender. She was complaining the entire time. She shouldn't be behind the bar. The wings came out extremely soggy because as you can see in the photo it was like a bowl of soup. They were gross. Also, the manager that wore the dark blue fleece was literally just standing watching tv the entire time. He wasn't helping his team out at all when the entire restaurant was busy. He was a bump on the log. There was also another manager dark hair, beard, skinny, that every time he went behind the bar he would make animal noises to his bar staff. He did it several times. What's going on with your management team???? I could never work with those two guys. I don't know if I'll be back. Spent $40 and it wasn't worth $20. read more

Miller's Ale House - Wings - Sports Bars Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

We always have great experiences at Miller's Ale House in Bradenton, thanks in large part to the incredible service at the bar by the bartender Christian. He consistently goes above and beyond--always courteous, helpful, and attentive. What really stands out is the personal touch: he always greets us by name, remembers our regular drink order, and makes us feel genuinely welcome every time we visit. It's the kind of service that keeps us coming back. Cheers to Christian for great hospitality and a fantastic team at the bar! read more

Service, food & pricing . I really don't know what else to say. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely go there!

Last night we went out to dinner around 9:00 PM very slow sat in the bar area but at a table. Our server was constantly forgetting everything from our drinks to our napkin to our silverware to our meal. The service was super slow. It was like pulling teeth just to get my husband's beer or my drink or food came out before our drinks did . No manager on site which is a big no-no or corporate because that's not how you run a good business. Our food was disgusting two prime rib, medium rare, and it was stone cold and mine was cooked so well done that I can bounce off the floor. No au jus for the prime rib come with nothing so dry. I wouldn't even feed it to my dog wasted 80 bucks. This place is definitely gone downhill, poor management for sure. I was hoping for a good place to eat since I live just right around the corner, but never again will not waste my money save yours. read more

Miller's Ale House - Supposed to be Medium rare . Cold as ice - Sports Bars Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

This was our third (and final) visit to this restaurant since moving to the area in early June. This trip hubby's chicken tenders were tough as if they had been microwaved. My Salmon was way overcooked and no flavor. Baked potato was overcooked as well. My side salad was the only thing decent. The server was good although didn't follow up after we received our meal. read more

Jessie was great even though she was very busy! we had wings and they were great too. we sat in the bar on the porch. it was fine not too loud. I am a sports fan so I get to check out what was going on. Dessert was delish!!! read more

Restaurant and service is good. Place is usually packed. Have eaten at several Ale Houses in Pinellas County and I think the Big Red chicken sandwich is much better to the north. Not sure what is up with the chicken at the Bradenton location but it's always small, tough & chewy. Shouldn't chicken be juicy and succulent? Just seems the Big Red sandwiches at the Pinellas locations are larger & juicier. If I go to this location again I'll order something else. read more

Eh. The service at the outdoor bar was pretty good the waitresses and hostesses are friendly. The food is typical bar food. My shrimp on the bowl came out burnt so they made me a new batch that was mildly warm. It wasn't fresh in my opinion. I like the out door ambience with the tvs and bar. It's a nice area. read more

Chicken nachos were cold and chicken tasted like it was from a can. Bartenders were less than impressive: not interested in service...had to ask for menus and drinks after they both ignored my girlfriend and I for 5 min. Bar was not full of patrons at the time. Drinks were reasonable $ read more

Service was great, wait wasn't very long, and the food was all very delicious. The chicken nachos(though very good) were lacking on the toppings and portion for the price, compared to most restaurants in the area. The salad was a really good size, and the queso burger could've used more toppings but was very good otherwise. Would certainly return again but would recommend adding more toppings and reconsider price or portions of some items. I really liked the bar area where the walls were all garage doors that could be opened and some even had screens. You get the breeze of the gulf moving through while still being able to enjoy the cover from the elements. Lots of TV's to show many different sports and games on, that can be seen from just about anywhere you could possibly sit. read more

Service was excellent and food was tasty and well priced. I would recommend the meat loaf lunch special.

Monday night football Corporate call is some sort of trivia on additional screens! I spoke with Roger the Manager on duty. He understood how important tonight's game was in the advance to the playoffs and made sure all channels accommodated the majority of the guests in house for MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL not TRIVIA! Thanks so much Roger!!!!!! read more

Millers is a sports bar on steroids. Quick service and a pleasant nature hostess set the stage for a nice lunch. My wife enjoyed the fish and chips luncheon special. I went green with MiMis salad bowl. Both were very good and our server made recommendations. All in all, a good spot for a lunch or special event. Too many specials to mention. Enjoy a meal there ! Go Bucks read more

Went for lunch the other day. Service is normally way slower than any other Ale House in Florida but this was ridiculous. Got appetizer in reasonable amount of time. Then 30 minutes later server asked how our lunch was. Problem is we never got it. Left without eating because already took an hour. Please fix this Ale House location, I eat at two Tampa locations regularly where I work but need this one fixed because close to home. Food service time needs corrected and I know it can be because every other location works fine. read more

Fun spot with great ambiance! The burgers are huge and its a great spot for sports. Cool specials throughout the week also. The outside seating was my favorite part. read more

I was at Millers on 9/28/24 and was horrified to see the manager kick out a veteran with his service dog. The Manager approached the table after the dog stood up and stretched his legs before laying back down. They were not doing anything wrong and that service dog was on his best behavior. I was appalled and felt so bad for the people and their service dog who were forced to leave. The restaurant was empty as well because it was 11:30 and they just opened at 11. If it was me I would file a discrimination claim. The manager clearly had a power trip. Personally, I'll never come back to your establishment for how you treated a veteran and his service dog. Who are you to question someone's disability? Shame on you Miller's!!! read more

My 90 year old father and 88 year old stepmom live near Miller's and have been wanting to try out the restaurant since it opened in 2023. We finally made the decision to give it a try on Feb 23rd. We arrived just before 5 p.m. and the parking lot was packed. The hostess told me that there would be about a 35 minute wait which ended up being pretty accurate. We had to wait in the car because there wasn't enough seating for everyone who was waiting. So that's my only complaint. You can't make a reservation and waiting that long is very difficult for older people. Once we were seated, our experience was terrific! We were fortunate to have a wonderful young man, Tyler, wait on our table. Tyler made us feel like we were his most important customers and provided amazing service. He offered help with choosing our meals and we were all very satisfied with our choices (BBQ ribs, Prime Burger with a side of Mac & Cheese, and Mimi's Fiesta Bowl). Everything was delicious! When we were finished, Tyler offered to box up our leftovers and invited us to come back soon. Thanks Tyler for really making our evening enjoyable! read more

Your restaurant is consistently FREEZING.. making it very very uncomfortable to be there. I have brought jackets and still this place is freezing. It's hot in Florida there is STILL no need to keep the temp at 50 degrees !!!!!!!! I go there about 2 to two times a week sit outside in the bar area and you still even maintain that area chilly .. very uncomfortable !!!! read more

Hum let me see oh yeh the pork osso buco unbelievable fantastic flavor looks just like the picture that doesn't happen often wonderful menu items plenty to chose from a different take on pub flavors including the mountain zingers chose your sizzle level service a+ food came fast and manager was attentive too you must give it a try read more

Pet friendly bar and very clean staff was great. Did not eat there, but menu looked good and we do plan on going to eat there in near future. read more

Justin was our waiter, he seemed new but he was really kind. Restaurant had a laid back relaxed feeling. They have 2 different bars in the restaurant. We ordered the calamari and mozzarella sticks. Both were delicious. Lunch options were okay. Portion sizes seemed to be inconsistent. Overall, we enjoyed our experience. read more

The food is great at this location, but the service is even better! We were seated with Justin as our server and he was extremely polite and attentive, even with how busy the restaurant was. I had the patty melt for my entree, which had the perfect amount of spicy and savory. I would recommend eating here and I will definitely be coming back. read more

We have had many wonderful meals at Miller's Ale houses up north so had great expectations for newly opened branch in Bradenton, Fl. This restaurant still has some serious growing pains. We arrived at 4:35 on a Thursday and were advised wait time was 25 to 30 minutes. An hour and 10 minutes later we were finally seated in an outside non air conditioned table. Waited another 20 minutes for a waiter. Thursdays and Sundays are advertised as Prime rib special night which actually means it is only available those days at the regular price. About 2 hours after we arrived food finally was served. I ordered the prime rib special Rare but is was served medium. Sent it back twice trying for at least medium rare. Finally was served by the manager who said medium is the best they could do at that time of night. (we had been there well over 2 hours). On the plus side the wait staff was friendly and the fried pork pot sticker appetizer as well as the fish and chips were very good. Was enjoyable evening, aside from hunger pains, in that we had plenty of time to talk with our dinner companions, but restaurant was disappointing. read more

If 1995 picked up the phone and gave you a call, this is what would be on the other end of the line. A lot of potential but sticking to old practice. Unfortunately, the chains like this are loaded with Sysco food, products, and less than average fare. At the time of this writing, this is a newly opened restaurant in the staff were very friendly and courteous one can only hope that stays overtime. If you haven't been to Miller's before, I would set the bar equivalent to Applebee's or Yard House. That being said the food is not bad. It's just not extraordinarily good or special. If you're looking for a place to hang out with a couple co-workers on a Friday night this might be it but if you're looking for a nice dinner out with that someone special I'd stay away. read more

Incorrect order and stale chips. Manager did not call back when requested. Also requested feedback from website but no response. One of Bee Ridge is much better. read more

Miller's Ale House just opened in Bradenton. Food was delicious! I had the steak chimmichuri salad. Wish I took a picture but ate every bit! Place was packed and it usually is. They may want to hire more staff to accommodate everyone its so busy. Casual atmosphere. Popular on game days. Highly recommend. read more

Our waiter Joseph was the best. Great service and very pleasant. Food was excellent. Zingers very tender. read more

Went for lunch. Ordered a Zinger salad and Zinger order with chili lime sauce. The order Came out Andy salad had Buffalo sauce while my wife's Zingers were plain. Waitress then the cook actually tried to excuse the mistake in the zingers saying ' oh it's a dry rub and doesn't always stick. Except there wasn't any powder in the bottom. The salad they first said oh that comes that way. I had to pull up the menu and prove the zingers are listed as plain on the menu and you **add sauce. Things did get corrected and we did get the right food after another 20 minutes. But what really upsets me is management never bothered to check with us. Two meals and both get sent back because they're wrong and no follow-up from a manager???? I see this place is rated 2.5 stars and I fully understand why. Food is good but the place I poorly run. Next time you look for lunch or dinner run from here. read more

Always good food and service. It's in my town so I go frequently. Never disappointed.

Head's up! Definitely not a gluten free friendly establishment. To be fair they make no attempt to accommodate gluten allergies. There is zero information on their menu regarding gluten free options. That should have been our clue to walk out. But my husband didn't want to inconvenience the rest of our group so he ordered a baked potato and a salad. We inquired if the salads were made fresh or pre-made. We told our waiter that it was important that there be no croutons on the salad and that they not just pick them off of a pre-made salad. He assured us that the salads were fresh made. Sadly, my husband had a reaction from eating there. We refer to it as getting glutened. read more

My husband and I went today to the Bradenton restaurant and our food and drinks were great. Our server Darian "D" was very attentive and friendly. We'll be back! read more

This was my second time visiting this location and it might be my last. The food itself was great both times, but be prepared to spend hours before you eat. It seems like they are severely understaffed. They've removed all of the tables from the bar areas. Waited 40 minutes to get seated for lunch. My family ordered 3 burgers and a sandwich for lunch, and it took 45 minutes after we put our orders in for the food to come out. Although the quality was good, waiting almost 2 hours from the time arrived just to get burgers was a waste of time. read more

Christian and Steve are fantastic. Great customer service. The food is great. The drinks and atmosphere are wonderful!

Good food, comfortable environment, full menu and for lunch they offered a Lunch Meal that kept me from over eating and it my bill was a bit small too! Nice addition to the area! read more

New restaurant on 64. Had table near the end of the bar and from where we sat had direct view of the kitchen. I ordered the " pork osso buco" and the others in my party ordered different items. Almost immediately after the waitperson turned in our order to the cooks, I noticed what appeared to be an order of Osso Buco at the counter waiting to be picked up and I thought someone else at another table had ordered the same item. Funny but as I continued to notice, the plate of Osso Buco at the counter just sat there. About 15 minutes later our waitperson went to counter, picked up the plate of cold Osso Buco and brought it to me along with the other items our party ordered. The entire plate of my order was cold and dry but because we had waited so long for our food, I didn't ask for the plate to be redone. And the truth is, judging buy the horse play I experienced watching the kitchen staff, I'm glad I didn't return the item for a do over. read more

Arrived at 5:00. Got seated at 5:30. Got food at 6:45. Cold fries with unmelted cheese and Luke warm zingers. Kitchen seams to be out of sink. Also check your bill. We were charged double for my wife's meal. I live a mile away but I'll drive to the Sarasota location from now on. Been a customer there for several years. Was excited for this location being close to us. Too bad it's such a let down. read more

Tried it for the first (and last) time this afternoon. First NO happy hour, ok no problem order a draft beer and it was fine The I order wings, when they arrived they were zinger, not wings After apologizing the they put in my wing order After 15 mins they came out raw! If u can't get wings right after two attempts not worth another visit Given the place is new, maybe it's a training issue To many other great places in the area to care read more

I can't believe this! My friends and I came to Ale House to watch football. Ate, ordered drinks and asked to watch the Alabama game. We were told to go somewhere else because all 20-30 tvs were for Penn State. They need to meet the needs of all patrons. Don't watch football at Ale House!! read more

Great location as this area craves dining opportunities...however, very "chainy" atmosphere. Felt like an Outback, noisy and chaotic. Best part was service. Menu very average and some items like fried jalapeños appetizer is just a mountain of fried peppers. Nothing special about anything on the menu and presentation is even worse. read more
