The pub is popular so the place was crowded both times I ate there. Tables were a little too close for me. Because of the crowd, the place was loud. There is a big bar in the restaurant. The food, however, was good.

I always visit Miller's Pub several times a year when I visit Chicago, conveniently next to The Palmer House where I like to stay. Wonderful old world down to earth atmosphere with a terrific bar area to sip cocktails and visit with old and new friends. Lots of pictures on the wall of the famous who have visited Miller's over...

Miller's Pub was a pleasant surprise. The food and the service were impeccable. I have been to Chicago 25-30 times and walked right past Miller's thinking it was just an Irish pub. Boy was I wrong. The food ranges from Italian to Greek. I had the leg of lamb and it was awesome. I would recommend this place to anyone.... More

Tuesday evening, 6:00 PM visit. Nice enough decor, very, very busy. Menu selection is good. I got the "World Famous" BBQ ribs. They are not better or worse than any other ribs I have ever eaten. I would say about on par with Chili's. Not sure why they are so highly regarded. I got a half rack, french fries, cole... More

A lot of places with a reputation as an 'institution' get smug and haughty and don't try anymore. Not this place. It has a down-to-earth, laid-back feeling in spite of being busy, like a friendly small town place---at least it did when I visited. The beer selection is great, they have a nice old bar that is very pleasant to... More

During a recent business trip to Chicago I went out for a walk to explore a bit and look for a place to eat. I came upon Miller's Pub. I ran in grabbed a salad and on the way out paused to read some of the letters on the wall. One mentioned a gentleman's granddaughter who loved their ribs. I... More

More and more restaurants are upping their game when it comes to beer selections, and Miller's had enough choices to satisfy most any craft beer aficionado. The food was just OK. As a previous reviewer noted the "World Famous Ribs" were just OK. I have had better ribs at Applebee's. Not that they were bad, just nothing special. My friend... More

Miller's Pub was next to our hotel so we decided to try it. Several people had mentioned it was an "in" place to eat while in Chicago. Can't say we were overly impressed. Had a "famous" rib dinner and fish and chips. Can't say either meal stood out in any way. Average and adequate. The service was good. We ate... More

My wife and I dined here on May 6, 2013. I had the "world famous" baby back ribs. They were acceptable but nothing special. And despite traveling a good part of the globe, I've never heard of Miller's ribs before. She had the spaghetti and meatballs. She said it wasn't very good (I didn't try because I find spaghetti and... More

Went to Miller's tonight for the first time in years, and am glad I did. This place is really old-school in the best sense of the word. When the maitre'd tells you "Follow Rocco to your table" it's like you're in a time warp. I had the world-famous (as they describe them) Canadian Baby Back Ribs. They were really excellent.... More
