Both Long Island locations of Miller's Ale House have become the go-to places to grab a cheap (but great) bite, hang out with friends, get awesome deals on drinks and catch special sporting events. During lunch, the place typically isn't so busy even though they have daily lunch specials. Go there during the evening, especially on a weekend and you may wait an hour for a table. During certain sporting events and UFC fights, you may even find yourself shoulder to shoulder with the person next to you!

The family-run (and family-friendly) Florida-based restaurant chain prides itself on great food and great prices. One look at the menu and you'll see just that. Appetizers are cheap and always enough to share. They have tons of seafood entrees, sandwiches and burgers, salads, steaks, pasta entrees as well as a few house specialties at unbeatable prices. Some of our favorites are Lobster Bisque, Fried Mozzarella, Blackened Chicken Quesadilla, Loaded Fries, Fried Calamari (with a thai sauce), Mahi Piccata, Bahamian Dolphin, Steak Fajitas, Bistro Burger, Big Red Sandwich and BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich. I've been visiting various locations over the last 20 years and their menu has been practically unchanged until recent years. The food has been consistently great and I've yet to have a bad experience.

Service has always been okay but it has definitely gotten better over the last few years. Most of the times I visit Miller's it is a mad house so its not like I'm expecting over the top, jump-through-hoops service anyway. Each location looks practically identical in it's decor. Large fishing poles, mounted fish replicas and tons of flat-screen TV's fill the restaurant and lend to it's Floridian heritage.

I see great things to come for the Miller's Ale House restaurants and can only hope they open another location on Long Island!
