    Nachos deluxe

    The food. Oh wow. I've been here and eaten about four times. So now I know what's going on. This isn't an off night or a fit of ineptitude. This is Miller's uncut. And oh it's the epitome of mediocrity. You want a good burger? Try Jack browns. You want good chicken? Try Popeyes. You want good nachos? Please for the love of god go anywhere else.

    This place has immaculate food, beer, and most importantly service. I wish I had caught the name of our server. He was the tall black man that took orders from outside. One of, if not the best service I have ever gotten from any establishment in cville. Dude is just fantastic. The food here is very good. My Rueben was just as good as I wanted it to be and the appetizer of pimento cheese was good and very unique to put on the menu. My only gripe is the beer is quite a bit overpriced in my opinion. For ordering draft beers I cannot justify the price when many other establishments within walking distance have a better beer menu at cheaper prices. Maybe the move here is to take advantage of there excellent bartenders and see what they can whip up. Would definitely come here again as the place is just fabulous. Just not to buy beer.

    Stopped in on a super busy Friday night after a Dave Matthews Band concert. We sat at the bar ordered our drinks. What a great spot! If I lived locally I would stop often. Live bands on a tiny stage set the vibe for a good time! Ordered some food, pretzel bites and chicken tenders. Those pretzel bites were delicious. I don't know how they make them but very addicting. Served with beer cheese! The chicken tenders were large but typical chicken tenders nothing too crazy. Service was fast and the bartenders were so nice considering the mass amount of people.

    Servers are super nice, the food is great and the drinks are super cheap. No complaints from me! They're open until 2am and their kitchen is open later than most places in cville. Great bar and there is live music often. Would recommend.

    Stopped in for a drink after dinner. Good little spot. Good service. Good classic bar feel. Perfect spot to extend our fun night out a bit longer.

    Chill spot. Must try the   pimento cheese and chips. Yummy.

    What a great stop before dinner. We got the pimento cheese dip with both chips. Good choice The service was great. They were very busy but still touched every table. Live music and a great time all around. This is a cool must try spot.

    Amaretto Sour
    Sidnie B.

    I only came for the drinks, so that experience was great. Walked in right when they opened and it's seat yourself. The bartender was very nice and helped me decide on an amaretto sour which I had never had before. So good!!! It also ended up being cheap as a well price, so that was nice. They charge you 50¢ extra for having sour mix in your drink, which I had never seen before. Cool dark ambiance inside too!

    Nashville hot chicken and fries
    Randy T.

    Went here for dinner with my fiancé. Though it did kind of seem like a touristy spot, the outdoor seating had great vibes under some big oak trees and in the hustle and bustle of downtown. We both got the Nashville hot chicken and we were both impressed with it. The homemade ranch was good and there was another house sauce called honey butter hot that I would HIGHLY recommend. The service was attentive even though it was busy, but overall we were satisfied with it. We will most likely be back

    Delightful evening at Miller's Downtown!

    The atmosphere was simply beautiful Quinn, our waiter was wonderful. He was attentive and very helpful. The food was also very good. Highly recommend Miller's Downtown!

In case you have never been they offer steaks that are cooked in a brick fire oven. AMAZING I ordered the VA sirloin which was cooked to perfection (medium rare) with creamed spinach and potatoes. The creamed spinach and the potatoes were very delicious and flavorful. I also ordered the fried oysters which were great. Not overly fried and still maintained the texture and flavor of a typical oyster. The service was impeccable. Our waitress was very entertaining and helpful. She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. She ensured that wanted for nothing. The ambiance was great. I loved the cow theme as well as the signage that stated "no well done steaks". It was a great touch. Overall, I had a great experience. If I am in Charlottesville again I will definitely visit.

Then we had some Caesar salads, which were they were all right. Then we had a Châteaubriand with Bernaise sauce. We also got some of the four-day demi-glaze and it was all great.

I would highly recommend coming here if you ever in Charlottesville, Virginia. sorry about the photograph, but we ate our food so I forgot to take pictures so the empty plate will have to suffice.

Wait time from store to store is usually pretty short, but waiting for actual food can be 2 minutes to 15 depending on who you go to. For example, a son got pizza slices immediately while my trip to order and get Tom Kha soup took 18. The flavor is hit or miss depending on restaurant and what you order. I got a chicken salad from the chicken place and it was great. My daughter got fettuccini alfredo and declared it rich, but bland. All that said, you can't miss with the ice cream location. So, regardless of what you ordered as the main dish, you can leave with a smile and a waffle cone in hand.

This is a clean, no-nonsense, down to earth BBQ place and it's delicious! I've been several times since they've opened & haven't been disappointed. I've come in during dinner & almost closing, and the food has been consistently good. The pictured dishes are the platters with 2 meats & 2 sides. I couldn't finish my platter & had the rest for lunch (still delicious cold) a couple days after. The standout for me (besides the meats) were the onion rings! These are NOT the pre-frozen ones. These are fresh-cut, seasoned, & breaded, and they are ADDICTIVE! They make other ones look sad. The baked beans are cooked with brisket pieces. The sandwiches are generous, too. The meats are smoked, tender & delicious. The sauces are also handmade, not bottled. So, you're going to have sample for your preferred flavor & heat. Not a problem because they have little sauce cups that you can use. I will definitely be patronizing this locally owned & run establishment.
