While visiting in Sanford, my grandson and I stopped at Miller's Ale House Sports Bar & Restaurant. It was late afternoon midweek so there weren't many diners. We were quickly greeted by a smiling hostess and seated. Milker's Ale House is your typical sports bar & restaurant. There are booths, tall top tables and a large bar area for sitting and plenty of large screens placed throughout for watching sports. I ordered the English Pub Fish & Chips and a Samuel Adams while my grandson ordered the Zingers Mountain Melt and a Miller's Light. A short wait and our food arrived. It wasn't blow on it hot, but still warm. My fish and chips were pretty good. The batter wasn't too thick making the fish have a nice little crunch to it. The fries weren't overly cooked, wimpy or greasy. I only took a few bites of the Cole slaw only because it was just a little too dry for my liking. It needed more slaw dressing. The Mountain Melt was massive and could easily feed 2-3 people. I didn't sample it, but it met my grandson approval because he ate most of it. Overall it was a good dining experience. The restaurant was clean, the bathroom was clean and the food was good. read more

Quality of food has gone down after the pandemic. Before, during, and for a time after, it was still great. It's a hit and a miss, with maybe 60% good and 40% why did I come here The beers on tap and bartenders make up for when the food is lacking. Nice chill atmosphere, kid friendly at the tables. I haven't personally done lunch in-person but some other patrons at the bar said they do a great job here about being quick as these folks said they only have a 30 minutes lunch. Which I was happy to hear because depending on the day I have between 30-60. Now they did said that was by ordering off of their lunch menu...regular dinner items from the regular menu will take longer. Overall, it's a nice place to come after dinner for some craft beers and maybe an appetizer or dessert. read more

I went here for dinner tonight and for the first time in years, I was so disappointed. My friend ordered frozen margaritas, well, not available, he ordered fish and chips and the fish was very small and overcooked. The window sill was filthy. The Venetian blinds did not look. They've been dusted for years, and we are supposed to eat with this over our table. The waitress was amazing and was able to get the fish and chips removed from the menu!! read more

SERVICE: 5 FOOD QUALITY: 3 DRINK QUALITY: 3 ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 3 NOISE LEVEL: 5 MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4.14 The service at Miller's Ale House was great, friendly, attentive, and exactly what you'd hope for. The food and drinks were average and in line with what you'd expect from a Miller's Ale House: nothing spectacular, but reliably decent. The aesthetics leaned toward dark and gloomy, which may not be everyone's preference. That said, you can always count on them to be open and serve a meal that's consistent and tastes decent. read more

Ordered take out and my pasta was super dry. This place used to have delicious pasta recipes. Tonight, they left off several ingredients such as green onion, parmesan cheese and tomatoes. Tried to stir the pasta but no sauce was to be found. read more

Don't eat here!!! After reading other reviews, we decided to order just an appetizer--the fried calamari--and it was disappointing. It tasted like the oil wasn't hot enough; the calamari was undercooked and greasy. Looking around there was only one other person at the bar eating. This should've been a sign! The service also left a lot to be desired. The bartender seemed uninterested in having us there, and even simple interactions felt like a chore. read more

There's honestly not much to say about Miller's Ale House. It wasn't terrible, it wasn't game changing. The people were friendly and pretty attentive. The atmosphere was much like any other sports bar, very casual and laid back which is exactly the vibe we were looking for that day. My brother had just finished a jiu jitsu tournament that day and we were looking for a place to just relax, decompress, and eat. We eventually landed on Miller's Ale House and we weren't disappointed given our standards. I ordered the zingers and they were okay. Coating on the sauce was uneven but the chicken did taste good; I just can't help but think that I could easily make these at home. The Pull 'N' Pop Donuts were alright despite not looking like the picture showed. They might have been slightly overcooked, but the flavor was there and was satisfactory. Miller's Ale House is painfully average, but honestly sometimes that's what you're looking for after a long day of hard work, school, or whatever it is that you do in life. They don't market themselves as revolutionary and it's hard to knock them down for appealing to your average Joe. read more

The restaurant bar is a great place for food, drinks and sports. The booths are large and comfortable. There are about two dozen TVs with sports on. The service was excellent. Our food came quickly. The server and his helpers made sure we had everything we needed. The sirloin was made medium rare as I ordered it. However, it was chewy. The shrimp were crispy and succulent. The baked potato was large and came with butter and sour cream. The lemonade was good and not too sweet. read more

Perfect food and the burger was delicious and dry beer was great. I've been here countless times, yet it's still as perfect as ever.

Absolutely disappointed! We walk in the staff is preoccupied. No smiles no greeting people looking around for their server and about 10 guests by the door not including us waiting for a hostess or server after 10 min we decide to go to the bar. The gentleman behind the bar is kind and prompt. We look over the menu but we're nervous about ordering based on the amount of people looking around for their server while their dirty empty plates are just sitting in front of them. We pay for our drinks and leave. Longhorn was still open with a much friendlier atmosphere. This location does not represent this chain of restaurants well. Aimee read more

We went here very hungry and were looking forward to this dinner. First, the atmosphere was extremely dated and the floor was sticky all around. The server was very nice and ensured we were pleased. The drinks were average, nothing special. The food, however, was very lack luster. I wasn't anticipating anything too fabulous going in, but this set the bar even lower. I would really not recommend this place to anyone. I wasted my money. read more

I've eaten and Millers all over the Southern US and finally decided to splurge and try the Lobster Ravioli. $20 for 5 little dry raviolis. Definitely not worth the $4 per bite they cost. If you're expecting a meal try something else. Overall a good experience, just a bad horribly disappointing meal. read more

So I'm downgrading them after several many issues over the last many months. We've been customers since they opened this location. Sometimes two, maybe three times a month. Sometimes more. My parents like to meet us kids here. Our last waitress was snarky enough to prompt this updated review though I realize I've probably been a customer here more times than days she's worked. Front of house hasn't been friendly. Big Red ain't big like it used to be and is sometimes rubbery. Fish and chips have been coming out burnt and oily more than once. They've also been cheap with the sides a few times. Once had a laughable tablespoon of mashed potatoes buried under the meatloaf! Mom, the meatloaf!! They've also padded the bill more than once. Like when I've asked for a side salad they've upgraded me to the full-size house salad without asking. I don't like that. And, not only have beer prices gone up dramatically it's been skunky. Was a period of time a few months ago some of the beers were off for weeks causing me to send everything back in exchange for bottles. I'm certainly no beer snob but skunky beer is skunky beer. The long and short of it is, they're going downhill. read more

It was New Year's Eve, and we were craving Fajitas from our favorite local Mexican restaurant, El Sol Mexican Bar and Grill before starting our festivities for the evening. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we realized the restaurant was closed for the holiday. After a few minutes of pondering where to go, I suggested Millers Ale House as the alternative. Nancy didn't object, so off we went. Luckily, the restaurant was not packed, and we were seated right away. Amazingly enough, Millers Ale House has Fajitas on their menu, so the night wasn't a complete loss. Our server Andrew was on point. He brought our drinks and took our order promptly. We ordered the Combo Fajitas ($17.99), our food arrived about 15-minutes later on a sizzling hot skillet. The Chicken and Steak were tender, juicy, and seasoned well, and veggies were fresh with a light crunch. Andrew brought out additional flour tortillas and a side dish of Pico de Gallo, chopped lettuce, shredded cheese, and sour cream at no extra charge. For dessert, we ordered the Captain Jack's Buried Treasure ice cream cake ($6.99). I haven't had this dessert since about 2006, and it was as delicious and mouthwatering as I can remember; once you go Capitan Jack, you don't go back baby! Damn, this dessert is so good! I am glad we decided to come to Millers Ale House for dinner; it was a great start to our New Year's Eve festivities. I highly recommend a visit to Millers Ale House if you are in the area. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, the food is good, the beer is cold, and there are plenty of monitors available to watch the big game. read more

Slip sliding away. Disappointing to see one of our oldest Sanford favorites on such a steep decline in service, increase in pricing, and a degeneration of the overall experience. Lots of turnover. First the Manager Nick goes to the new Lake Nona location. Then the 2 most experienced and long-standing bartenders leave. Then the nice young gal who worked hard to become a bartender leaves. All new faces doesn't equate to a continued high level of service. Lots of standing around gabbing instead of keeping everyone's beverages full. The remaining & most senior bartender has gotten really lazy & forgetful. Seeing a great place going down the tubes is so preventable. It's easy to see why this place is now half-empty. Unfortunately, based on the past year's rapid deterioration in service combined with high turnover and outrageously high prices, it won't be long till Sanford's Ale House closes. read more

We shared the fajitas. Server brought us extra wraps, sour cream, lettuce, tomato. No charge. Then we had Captain Jack cake. So darn good! It was not busy tonight for Friday. George Bulldogs vs Michigan on the TV. Go Dogs! I would come here again. read more

I'm extremely disappointed in the whole experience. I will walk you through the experience. I had to walk across the restaurant to get my drink refilled because our waitress was completely unavailable for our table. The nachos were supposed to come with jalapeños I had to ask her to bring them after we already had the nachos for several minutes and the protein on the nachos was very dry. Then my crab was over cooked and slimy. The mixed vegetables were cold. My wife's burger was burnt not medium like she ordered and after waiting 20 minutes for the check the waitress stormed off with the check after I told her how bad the food was and how she would never see us again. If I could give less stars I would. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone ever read more

I Left to use restroom and when my daughter ordered me a glass of ice (because I brought a Dr. pepper with me because I knew they didn't sell them there) the server brought the manger who completely harassed her claiming they do not do outside beverages. He literally got in her face and kept saying do you understand and then got in her face. She said OK the first time the disrespect of getting in her face was unnecessary unprofessional, and ruined the experience. Brought my daughter to tears. Please work on your customer service instead of harassing your kid customers. My daughter didn't tell me until after we left. If I had known I would've been up in his face. They need to fire him picking on little kids. read more

My family and I had dinner there and the food was excellent and so was the service! Also pleasant atmosphere. Great menu with lots of good choices so we are looking forward to going back. read more

I have gotten takeout from this location twice now in the last month and unfortunately both experiences have been extremely unpleasant. In regard to the first time, when I arrived I immediately walk to the to-go stand which is stationed directly next to the host stand. The two hostesses did not address me or even great me with a hello after entering. I stood at the to-go stand for over five minutes before I eventually walked up to both hosts and asked "I'm sorry to interrupt but is there anyone working the to-go stand?" The girl who I had asked looked visibly upset for me asking her this, scowled at me and rudely said "what's the name". No other response. She then left and I never saw her again. About another five minutes passed and another employee comes up and hands me my food without even saying anything, just silently hands me a bag (a bag of extremely cold food as well). The second experience was actually last night. I arrived much much later this time, to a restaurant that was not very busy. Im assuming that since the restaurant isn't a busy as previously that the service would be better. I couldn't have been more wrong. The same host from the first time was at the host stand again when I walked in. No hello, no smile, no greeting. I walk over to the to-go stand to wait, where I am passed by employee after employee (including the female manager on duty) multiple times with not a single employee saying anything to me. Finally, after over ten minutes of standing there with no help, I see the to-go specialist walk up, arms full of to-go bags. She hands out all the orders to the other patrons then asks me who I'm picking up for. I tell her the name and she walks away to go look for my order. After about another five minutes she returns and tells me they don't have any orders with that name. I then showed her my confirmation, to which she looks frantically around the to-go stand. After, she pulls a silverware basket out from below the to-go stand (extremely unsanitary) and hands me my order, apologizing that it was right there the whole time. This irritated me due to me standing there for approx. 15 minutes for an order that was directly next to me the entire time. The restaurant is very poorly ran and I see that better training regiments need to be implemented. The staff also need to work out their hospitality. At the end of the day, I would not recommend the Sanford Ale house. There are much better wings restaurants in the local area, for a better price and a better overall experience. read more

I've been to this place a couple of times with my coworkers and friends. Every time I've gone service is really slow from getting the food to getting the check. We ordered Fried Jalapeños and a large plate of Nachos. The Fried Jalapeños were okay, mostly one note, the majority of them were left untouched by the table. Not a real hit. The Nachos however were pretty good and we ate all of those. I ordered the Cobb Salad with Chicken & Shrimp with honey mustard dressing. I really enjoyed the salad and was surprised by it. I also got a Margarita, it wasn't good and tasted weird. On other occasions I've had their flatbread which wasn't good and one time I had their Mahi Sandwich & Mac and cheese which was pretty good. However I never leave thinking "Wow that was great, I want to come back here". I wouldn't necessarily recommend to eat here but if you get dragged here with friends and coworkers it's not terrible. read more

You know what you're getting. Stays open late and provides exactly what you expect. I will continue to go there when in the area.

Came here because my siblings wanted to even though my previous experience have been less than par. There was a table of four adults and six children. We were assigned one waiter who did an amazing job. He brought out the kids meal first without even asking. Any parent knows that's a god send. Our meals were presented a short while later. I got the $6.99 Southwest Steak Flatbread with a choice of house or casear salad. I opted for the latter. The steak was cooked perfectly and all the flavors came together very nicely. My boyfriend asked for a casear salad and he just added it onto the bill for $2.99 to go with my entree instead of full price which I thought it was nice. With such a large table he handled it magnificently and our drinks were never empty. I'm glad to see service has improved since visiting. One disclaimer - eve though the zinger mountain melt looks fantastic it's super bland. I always fall for it because it looks so good, but I'm always disappointed. The zingers by themselves are amazing. Just ask for extra sauce! read more

The food was good, our waitress was good, the kitchen not so much. We ordered a kids meal before ours and it came after our meals. I do not understand why you don't put closed caption on the TVs and only putting the sound on for the game televised on local tv. If we were bucs fans we would have stayed home. read more

I ordered 35 shrimp with fries, lemon tarter sauce and cocktail sauce. I had door dash pick it up from Sanford and bring it to deltona. The driver drops off the order and there is no lemon or cocktail sauce. I ask for these things because that's what I like when I'm eating shrimp. I hold the manager ultimately responsible because he can't hire a crew that cares how a to go order goes out or that are to incompetent to understand directions. If this was a one time thing I could understand, but this is a constantly occurring problem. read more

I had a craving for chicken fajitas. You know the big platter of steaming hot sizzling chicken fajitas you see coming out of the kitchen when you are in a restaurant that smell amazing? The fajita plate that you end up asking for a box for tasty leftovers? This was not that. While I didn't expect the sizzle, I expected to get a dine-in portion at the least. I paid almost $16 for this and tipped 20% despite this being pick up. Not even a full chicken breast. If you order take out from here, feast your eyes on the pitiful portions you can look forward to. Super disappointed. read more

Meh. We were in this area camping and for the Orlando/Sanford air show and after the show we didn't want to go back to the camper and cook so we looked and YESSSS Millers Ale house! I go to Millers Ale house for 1 thing - Chicken Philly Sandwich. I used to get a Thai type of chicken salad as well and hubby and I would split the 2 but they no longer have that salad. So I am super excited for the best Chicken Philly I have ever had in my life (which I have always had at any other Millers Ale house) and the sandwich arrives, and I am so excited and I bite into it and its ......dry and bland. What a let down. Nothing like the chicken philly's I have had at all the other Miller's ale house. I hope management looks into this as I am sure they share recipes but somehow they dropped the ball for me. Unfortunately we do not have a Millers ale house within a 30 minute drive so I am super elated when I get the chance to go to one. read more

Well, once again a disappointing meal. 4 of us sat down and took over an hour to get our food (not busy at all). The server was lacking a personality and we had to continue to flag him down foe drink refills. As for the food, was cold when we finally received it. The Bleu cheese for the wings tasted funny, we mentioned it to the server, did not even ask to bring fresh. When asked for mayo and mustard for the burger, his attitude was poor. Like I offended him for asking. The manager never stopped at any tables, we were ignored throughout the meal. So almost 2 hours for poor food, service and we will never come back. read more

We have been coming to this place for years but recently they decided to put the utensils and napkins that we have to eat with out front by the hostess stand so that everyone in the room can cough, breath and whatever else on them. This is pretty stupid/ridiculous and disgusting on the part of whoever made this decision. The manager in charge should definitely be retrained on issues such as this. I do love the servers who work there. They have pretty much always been great. This is definitely not their issue. Hey managers! Change this issue please. read more

Not many vegetarian options. They will do vegetarian fajitas, but charge the same price for this option as they do for the fajitas with protein added.
