Love this place! The food is always awesome! I can't say I have never had anything not absolutely delicious off their menu! The service is always great and and always leave happy! Billy is awesome! Very friendly and attentive the whole time! He always has great recommendations for food and drinks!
Review Source:just came in for a take-out lunch while attending a seminar locally. Got a great salad (Summer salad). Everything was fresh - large pieces of grilled chicken. Gumbo soup could have been less stringy. I would definitely go back - it's a chain but this establishment seemed well-run and the food was fresh. As chains go, I rate it a four-star.
Review Source:When it comes to food quality and service quality, it is not all that great. But, when it comes to portion to price ratio, they are very good about that. Which I think makes up for the bad service and mediocre food quality. I came with my wife and kiddos on a Wednesday night after church for the $12.99 lobster special. If you don't know the market price for a pound of lobster right now, then you won't know that the amount of lobster they give you almost matches up with the price of the lobster itself. At Publix, I remember a lobster of that size was about $10. With that being said, this is an INCREDIBLY good deal. My wife was expecting the size of the lobster to be quite small, but they actually came in decent sizes. Now that I've bragged on them for a bit, let me go back to the cons again. Service was almost non-existant. Our server basically took our orders, delivered them, and she was never seen again until she brought the bill.
Overall, I would come back on another Wednesday to take advantage of the lobster special, but I don't think I would come when there are no specials/deals going on.
The popularity of this place helped me form a theory about how some people are so jazzed up about going out to eat that the excitement enhances the experience and kills the ability to taste food. Â That is, just the act of eating out provides the enjoyment, which isn't diminished by a liberal dose of badly cooked, poor quality, over-priced food.
I've eaten about half of the items on the menu and when I am unable to talk other people into avoiding this hole, I just go with the 35 fried shrimp platter. Â It's hard as hell to mess up fried shrimp, although I did send a platter back one time because it was over-cooked and dripping with grease, which is how the fish and chips were both times that I ordered that item. Â I was also shorted two shrimp once, even though I'm not usually OCD enough to count them.
Everybody raves about the beer at this joint, like there isn't anywhere else to buy beer other than a cavernous, noisy gym-like building that makes you walk 13 miles to take a leak. Â No thanks. Â I've gotten hammered at MAH out on the patio many times and the trek to the men's room makes me want to give the architect a high five...in the crotch with one of the thoroughly uncomfortable stools that they bought for the high-top tables.
Without fail, the servers are friendly and competent. Â The bartenders? Â I've had spotty luck with them. Â Sometimes they're on their game and you don't have to wait long for whatever you want from them. Â Other times, they act like you're harshing their mellow by your mere existence. Â Maybe I've received that treatment because I'm a guy...although I'm not claiming that.
I try to avoid this place, if at all possible. Â I do have friends that believe that Miller's is a purveyor of fine foods. Â What. Â Ever. Â I'd rather eat cold Chef Boyardee out of the can with chopsticks than eat here. Â But hey...beer! Â Pfft.
Pensacola's Ale House is the Model of inefficiency, apathetic staff, over cooked fish and poultry every time, and as others have said here, 'The Place I love to Hate'. Â Since the only dish they serve that is remotely healthy and hard to screw up is the Cobb Salad I order it without the bleu cheese since they have never heard of Feta Cheese. Â We ordered fresh brewed coffee and the waitress delivered stuff left over from the lunch shift. Â Tried to return it but she disappeared until the check was due. Never go there and expect to wait for a table in a modern fashion. They use a piece of paper and a Kitchen Flash Number Board to notify you. Â The wait staff does not use any leather bound folders for your check or credit card. They say Management is to cheap to provide them with that nationwide standard of performance and service. Â Very loud environment so not the place for a nice evening out as adults. Do not sit by the outdoor bar as the cigarette smoke gets sucked into the main restaurant every time the power sliding doors open and close. Â Last night was it for us. Â Never again. Â Took us almost 3 hours to get seated, order, eat, not drink our day old coffee, and pay our bill after tracking down, on foot, our server. Â Better off cooking at home and saving the misery, expense, and inevitable regret afterwards.
Review Source:Ahh Yes, Miller's Ale House. Â The place I love to hate. Â In my travels I have frequented every Ale House from here to Orlando and found them to be a model of consistency, which isn't necessary a good thing. Â All the food, from burgers to wings to pasta is pretty much bland and taste like it's right out of the freezer section of the nearest Publix's. Â However, service has always been good and yes, they have cheap booze which when combined with the incredible array of HD TVs and satellites that would put a NASA control room to shame, it's a hard combo to refuse, especially when out of town. Â
Since I don't travel to central FL as I did in days of yore, I decided to get some nostalgia on and visit the Pensacola Ale House. Â Same great open floor plan with TVs EVERYWHERE all tuned to sports and $2.50 Foster pints. Â Plenty of open seats at the bar and more servers than bar customers so service was never an issue. Â Looking over the menu I could see that little had changed over the years. Â Anything that can fit into a microwave (or tastes like it came from one) is there. Â I go with the fish tacos since I've had them before and they're hard to screw up especially with beans and rice. Â After all, in the worst case you can always douse them in salsa and Tabasco. Â True and consistent the food was out in good time and the salsa and guacamole had that so familiar processed taste, but the fish was grilled and hot although could have used some seasoning. Â Beans and rice was adequate, and the portions, like everything I've ever ordered before, were generous. Oh yes, I almost forgot (which is an indication of the taste) I had the French onion soup. Â A large cup with melted cheese prepared to directions and was decent but not made from scratch. Â
Overall, a good experience can be had here if you're watching a game and imbibing, but beware of just coming for the food. Â It keeps reminding me of the old Woody Allen joke of the two old women eating lunch at a restaurant: Â One says "The food here is so bad." and the other replies, "Yes, and such small portions." Â Only this time the punchline should be, "Yes, but they give you so much of it!"
Well just like my first experiance in there Las Vegas restaurant. Nothing has changed. The quality of food is fantastic. The service is quick. The staff is friendly and courteous. There are TV's are every where. You can not, not see a sport being shown. The outdoor bar is perfect for an out door experience during warmer weather. Alot of parking so no issue with that. You got to try this place! I highly recommend them.
Review Source:A friend took us here to watch the Bengals game on a Sunday while on vacation in Pensacola.
Right at the entrance, I was impressed with the 'map' of the tables showing which game was on each tv in the bar. This made it easy to pick a table, but we weren't lucky enough to be the game with the sound on- apparently they pick the potentially most exciting game of the day for sound and we were not it.
The service was excellent- our server James has been there for over 10 years and knows what he's doing. I've never had a server suggest he bring out a bucket and ice to keep our pitcher cool and frosty. He also entertained my request for a mudslide with ice cream, which he scooped himself since the bar was too busy. Mad props to James for being so stellar!
The food was as expected at this type of restaurant. We tried the spinach dip and chili without being too impressed with the quality or flavor. I would go back for a few beers and to watch a game, but would skip the food.
Was completely unimpressed with my afternoon visit to Pensacola's location. The bartender lacked any personality at all, was dismissive and slow with little attention paid to me. That was bad enough. I ordered an appetizer, which was supposed to be "pillows filled with cream cheese and slices of jalapeño." I laughed when she brought it out - seven tiny, tiny little wonton-wrapped "pillows" that were smaller than the diameter of a quarter. They were sweet, the dipping sauce was sickly sweet.
There are now in Pensacola much better places for great beer and pub food. I doubt I'll make it back here unless invited for a beer by a friend.
I've been to a few Miller's Ale House's across the state of Florida, and they always seem to be the same. That can be a good or bad thing, depending on what you're looking for.
Customer service here is always good. Friendly managers and staff, they always want to make sure you leave happy. Restaurant and bar is always clean, and the bathrooms are usually well taken care of.
I enjoy this place because it's more of a sports bar than restaurant. There are tons of big screen TV's everywhere, always tuned to different sports. If you go on an average night, you can expect to see baseball, hockey, or basketball games on. On Sundays, they have the TV"s tuned to different NFL games. When I went on Saturday, they had probably 35 different college games on. So ask the host to sit you at a table where you can check out your game, and you're good to go.
The beer selection is impressive, lots on tap, and there is a full bar, both inside and out, so if you feel like really taking it up a notch, there's always that option.
The food- meh. As others have stated on here, it's bar food. They try to church it up with different menu selections, but there's nothing impressive at all. I usually stick to what I know- appetizers and burgers. They have decent wings, cheese sticks, chicken tenders, etc... also have decent burgers and sandwiches, and they always go well with a delicious Sam Adams draft. Anything more than that, and you're asking for disappointment.
They do show UFC events here, which always draws a huge crowd, so if you're into MMA, definitely stop in early, grab a seat, and get some drinks. Lots of drink specials all week long can also save you some cash.
Again, this is the same Ale House you can find all over Florida. Nothing more than a ultra-fancy sports bar. Stop in, grab some drinks and bar food, and you'll leave happy. Expect a decent meal for you and your family, you will not leave happy. It is what it is. An Ale House.
I believe it is time for a zero rating. Once a year for three years we have tried this restaurant and after three strikes, we're out. Â The service is poor, management weak and the food is straight from Sysco. Â Like so many bars & grills today, they have plenty of t.v.'s though so if you want to drink a beer and eat the same old bar food and watch 13 different baseball games at the same time, you'll enjoy it. If you're looking for a creative meal and want more bang for you buck, try Taco Bell. Â Strike three, we're out.
Review Source:I love this place, the food is very good and its a great spot to watch the SuperBowl or any type of sporting event, every wall around the restaurant is covered in flat screens with just about any sport you want to watch, (even futbol) Â the staff wear their favorite teams and its a great spot for family as well as singles who want to enjoy each others company in a fun atmosphere, the prices are decent and they give you nice portions..I wish there was more than one in town..
Review Source:I have been a fan of the Ale House for over a dozen years. Â Growing up in Central Florida, I used to call damn near all of the ones in Orlando my local hang outs. Â Cheap bear, quality food for the price, and fun atmosphere. Â Plus it is open late for any late night cravings. Â You would be hard pressed to spend a $50 dollar bill for dinner and drinks for 2.
When I lived here about 8 years ago, I always said Pensacola needed an Ale House (more for selfish reasons). Â I move back and viola!
Lets compare it to the Fish House for a second. Â Ale House does not have as fancy as an atmosphere however, they proudly feature Mahi Mahi on their menu without an up charge. Â That's right, the menu fish is not TILAPIA, unlike the Fish House. Â Oh by the way, they do not charge an arm and a leg to serve it to you either. Â Maybe there is a lesson to be learned.
My only complaint is that I want the original catfish basket back for lunch!
attractive interior. Â terrible food and surly service. Â they are an ale house with no ale. Â there was some problem and you could get no draft beer, so 2/3 of their beers were not available. Â mid dinner the waiter had a personality change and became a total jerk - couldn't figure out why. Â we ordered a combo seafood plate that was truly tough and tasteless
Review Source:I had first tried this place at a Xmas party in December. I was not impressed but my good natured heart said try again. Boy am I glad I did. Â The Clam Chowder was excellent and so is the Conch chowder. Â I have had the MIller's steak sandwich. It is a variation on the classic Philly cheesesteak. Instead of thinly sliced meat it is made with thicker slices of roast that make it delicious. This go around I decided to try the Zinger Club sandwich. Having chicken in a club that is flavored like a mild hot wing is simply fabulouso. Good Job!! Â If you are a sports fanatic then you will feel right at home here with all the tvs. The Staff is more then willing to change a tv to your game of preference.
Review Source:If you like a sports, then this is the place for you. Â Every square inch of wall has a flat screen. Â I would guess 25-30 games at a time.
If you like food, you will hate this place. Â Over priced, unappetizing. Â We were just lunching and had the Nachos and Conch Fritters. Â The chips were poor quality, soggy (greasy), and the conch fritters had almost no conch and were also soggy. Â We also had two beers and two sodas...how did that simple lunch of appetizers become $40?
Even with a new waiter, service was great--prompt and friendly. Â Good job on service.
Everything was about $1 more than it should've been.
Nothing special AT ALL about this place. Â With all our great options in Pensacola, this is near the bottom of my list of recommendations.
For a sports bar, this isn't too bad. Â They have a good variety of food and although I've only been here twice, everything I've had tastes good, good portions, and good prices. Â On Saturdays there is usually a wait, but it moves quicker then they say it will. Â They have a good selection and variety of beers on tap. Bartenders & hostesses are busy and not the most personal, but the waitstaff is friendly and stays on top of things. Â They have drink specials every night.
Review Source:Food is cheap! Â Service is great. Â
Came here for my first time while visiting husband in April. Â Service was extremely slow our first time. Â But friendly. Â For 4 people (1 being a child), appetizer and soft drinks for us all...bill was only $50. Â The 3 adults all ordered a seafood dish too. Â My 30 fried shrimp were actually larger than I thought they'd be. Â Hubby got fried clams and sweet potato fries. Â Daughter got chicken fingers and fries and cousin got Jambalaya (which we all didn't care for though!). Â Otherwise we all liked our food and sampler appetizer.
Decided to come back a second time during this visit and realized there are daily specials. Â The second time we came back (on a Tuesday) it was $10 prime rib night, $.49 wings (after 9pm) and kids eat free (with purchase of adult meal). Â We got all of the above. Â Hubby didn't care for the prime rib though, but wings were tasty and so was my pasta dish (forgot which one) and my daugher liked her Spaghetti as well (it was ok to me).
Third time we came back...yes this is becoming a family favorite...was recently on mine and my daughters second visit to Pensacola to see my husband. (hubby is in the military) We came on a Tuesday again and got the $.49 wings (you have to order in 10) and free kids meal. Â Hubby ordered the Chicken Parmesean, I got the Bistro Burger and daughter got the kids Spaghetti which comes with an ice cream dessert and drink. Everything we ate was delicious and our bill was only $27! Â Extremely cheap for a family of 3 and an appetizer.
Everything we ordered here has been good...though we didn't like the jambalaya my cousin ordered. Â But the people are very understanding because I overheard a table once say they didn't like their meal and they changed it for them. Â Sometimes service is slow, but people are always nice. Â Check out the menu online. Â They stay open late too which is a plus.
Great Customer Service!  Good sports bar vibe.  Mediocre food.  Decent food, but really nothing special.  Do Not Order the Ossobucco!  It is not the recipe you know and love... It is not braised in a delicious white wine sauce, it is DEEP FRIED... yuck.  The waitress promptly and happily  replaced the dish with the Snow Crab Dinner and the manager visited the table to appologize... I appreciate that!  The snow crabs were fine.  The mashed potatoes were definitely instant and the vegetable of the day was broccoli that was steamed to mush.  My husband ordered more traditional bar fare: Ribs, fries and coleslaw... not bad.  The lesson: when visiting a bar and grill, stick with bar food and beer.
Review Source:Went to Miller's Ale House (which has a street sign that says "Pensacola Ale House") last night because they said they were showing the UFC fight and that they did! Â TONS of TVs with fights going so I had angles from all sides.
But the patio area (where they were showing the fights) was PACKED! Â I didn't sit down the entire 3 hours I was there. Â Which was fine because I was having a good time.
They don't staff the bar area as well as they should have if they expected the crowd. Â There were 1.7 bartenders, and I say that because I think two were working there, but it seems they were never both on the bar at once.
Price was good, selection was good, and they were rather trusting. Â I ordered to Bombs and a pitcher of Blue Moon, she brought the bombs and walked away...but I paid anyway because I'm honest.
If you DO want to sit down on fight night...come super early. Â Soon as the main event finished the place cleared and it seems to be a very good dive bar. Â I'll be going back, especially on fight night.
And it still throws me off seeing people smoke in a bar.
Its mostly a generic restaurant/sports bar that really offers nothing you cant find in 20 other places. Prices are very reasonable but the menu really has nothing that stands out to the point I would drive out of my way to eat there. Â If you have time to kill stop by. But you really aren't missing anything if you stop at any of their competitors .
Review Source:Went last night for the UFC fight and the place was ok. Â Food was super greasy and bad for you, but decent. Â I could feel my cholestrol shoot up with each bite. Â Wings were not good, they weren't crispy at all! Totally soggy :( *sigh
Waitress was fun and cute though. It was busy but she was attentive and came by several times to check up on us. THey even changed the screens as requested so we could catch the hockey game that was goign on at the same time.
This place is one of the best in town. If you want exquisite food for reasonable prices, then you won't be disappointed. For beer drinkers their are 32 kinds on tap. :) Â sports fans, their are at least 10 HD TVs in the building always broadcasting a sporting event. Â Millers is one of a kind.
Review Source:Went again last night with the girls.
I ordered my usual Lienenkugle's Honeywiesse on tap. Â The waiter said they didn't carry it anymore. Â I was beyond sad. Â To make myself feel better, I ordered a Stella Artois so I could drink out of a pretty glass. Â The waiter brought it in a normal beer glass. Â I was really sad.
I DID get my favorite Zingers with honey mustard... they were wonderful. Â Unfortunately one of the two reasons I liked to go to this bar is now disappeared.
Our waiter was a chump. Â I asked it I could talk to the manager (the weren't THAT busy or anything). Â He said he talked to the manager and they were going to stop at the table. Â An hour and a half later we left without ever seeing that manager.
Boooooo to last night's visit!
