I don't expect airport food to be great but at least I'd like it to be decent. I really can't find anything good to say about Millers Pub. The service was terrible and the attitude was very poor. The food was gross. I had the reuben with fries. The fries were like wood and the sandwich was just nasty. The only good thing was the Pepsi. I did not have the time to argue about the food since my flight was being paged and I had to go and I just threw it in the trash on my way to the gate. Even for airport food this was one of the worst places. Would not eat there again.
Review Source:Im always at midway (worked here for 1.5 years) and if you are tired of potbellies or the greek place in the food court then millers pub is the place to try. The burger is good and the wings are good too. I mean when you are held hostage by the lack of options, there are worst fates in life than to grab a beer and one of the above options at millers.
They are slow on the draw though, so you kind of have to keep on them when it comes to getting your food.
It's an airport bar. I got my beer fairly quickly. It was cold. It was from a bottle but brewed in Chicago which I appreciate.
Service wasn't bad since I got my beer within a minute of standing to order.
I didn't get any food but it smelled good. Ok fine .. It smelled deep fried. Which isn't always a bad thing.
Terrible, terrible, terrible! Stay away from this place. I wish I could give it zero stars. My boyfriend and I decided to stop there for breakfast before our flight and had the worst experience. Upon ordering, we asked the cashier if we could substitute eggs for the French toast meal instead of having meat with it and she made it clear there were no substitutions at all. When we asked for a side order of French toast she told us it would be the same cost as the meal. Finally, both of us just ordered meals as they were listed and paid. We sat at a table for no less than 20 minutes waiting for our pancakes, eggs, hash browns and bacon. You wouldn't think making those would take so long but nonetheless, we were patient. The food finally came out on plastic plates along with plastic silverware. It's an airport establishment.. Fine. However, the food came out cold.. My toast wasn't even toasted.. There was no "brown" on the hash browns. At this point, I was angry for having spent $17 on something a child could have cooked better. My boyfriend sent his food back to be reheated by the grumpy, rude, lazy staff. The food came back lukewarm. We are by no means difficult customers and have never asked for a refund on a meal but this was the worst experience we've ever had at a dining establishment. We asked for a refund and again, waited another 20 minutes. The manager finally gave me my receipt and then proceeded to point out the fact that she shouldn't have refunded us for the pancakes that my boyfriend ate while waiting for this refund to occur. Sorry that we were both starving and he ate a small portion of his meal. We were shocked with her attitude but that was pretty representative of the entire staff. These people clearly hate their jobs and it shows by how they treat their customers. Save your money and walk down to McDonald's instead which is exactly what we did.
Review Source:It's an airport bar so I wasn't expecting much but WOW! Absolutely horrible service even when it wasn't busy. Â The bartender was more interested in flirting than waiting on customers. It's also confusing, an arrow points you to a spot to order drinks where there isn't anyone.. so eventually you figure out you have to go to the bar to order a drink but then she ignores you. The ladies behind the food line were just as bad, obviously bored, uninspired and made you wish you'd skipped it and gone anywhere else. I will next time.
At least the beer was cold.
Am I really reviewing an airport bar? Apparently so.
It's one of the only places to get Goose Island 312 on tap at Midway so thumbs up for that. I love getting one before I take off and there's rarely a long line. The food isn't super awesome, but come on, it's an airport bar -- can you really set the bar THAT high?
Tip: There's 1 line for the food and another for the bar.
Oh, Miller's Pub... I've sat inside of you so many times while waiting for a connecting flight at Midway. You always get the job done with your rum and diets with lime, but you reeeeally need to work on your food.
When I flew Southwest this weekend to Cape Cod, I figured I'd have a layover, and when it happened a friend and I wandered to Miller's for some booze and food. They definitely have the booze, that was no problem.
The grilled cheese is just okay and the fries are like CARDBOARD. All of the salads are pre-packaged. Some dude next to us ate ribs and it was the worst smelling food I've experienced. I just feel like they could do better! That being said, I do appreciate the boozy experience they offer inside of the airport.
It's okay. It is what it is. Go get yourself a drink and stay away from the ribs.
As I wandered through the airport, with my flight getting more and more delayed by the half hour, I knew had to find something to fulfill my hunger. Â Looking around, I wasn't really sure what I wanted. Â I chose Miller's Pub based solely on the fact that they had a seating area with available seats. Â Task one complete. Â Task two entailed another big decision and that was 'just what in the Midway Airport do I feel like eating?' Â After pondering this question for a good 15 seconds, I finally walked up to the counter, smiled, and asked the order taker what she thought was their best dish to which she replied, "the corned beef sandwich is very good."
Okay. Â So I go with that. Â This also marks the first time I think I've ever had a corned beef sandwich. Â Weird. Â I also feel like a beer because that ol' flight delaying is just climbing up there in hours and I know beer will help pass the time. Â Oh but wait, you can't order the beer at the register you have to go to the actual bar and get it, the only overfilled area in this restaurant. Â Great.
I find a place to sit and wait for my food. Â It feels like forever. Â But finally, they announce my number and I collect my food. Â I take my first bite. Â Probably the most delicious thing in the whole world. Â Seriously. Â Heavenly. Â I take another bite. Â 'Eh, that was good' I think to myself. Â I take a third...'Oy, this is just okay.' Â Then another bite, 'Okay, I think I'm done with this.' Â The fries were good though...I think...at least I preferred them over the sandwich which was growing worse with every bite. Â Ugh. Â This can't be happening. Â What happened to that sensation I had with the first bite? Â My sad eyes wander across the way to the golden arch. Â 'If only I would have given in and just went there' I sigh to myself. Â Lesson learned. Â Flight still delayed. Â I'm not hungry anymore but I feel terrible.
I just want that first bite back.
So UNIMPRESSED.
Good barbecue (if expensive), but then again, I'm not expecting dollar menu prices at the Chicago airport, which sells cigarettes for $11 per pack. Â If you're traveling and don't want to have chow on greasy MCWendyKings... this is a good option.
MMM (pro): Â decent food available fairly quickly
EHN (con): Â Just because booze and tvs are together does *not* mean we have to blast ASSPN (espn), does it?
I was excited when my wife and I passed by on 9/22 (I noticed the sign out front and especially wanted to try the ribs). We weren't hungry at the time, but I made sure that we ate here on the 25th (the airport, by the way, also has an address of 5600 S. Cicero). Big mistake.
Like a few other people we encountered, my wife and I didn't know what to do at first (there should be a sign making it clear where the register is and that you have to place your order there). We sat down and waited for someone to take our order (there are small menus on the tables). We also wondered why the area wasn't being bussed.
After a few minutes, I went to stand in line (some guy just beat me, and I was annoyed at how long he took to order- there are only about 10 items on the menu). I noticed right away that the cashier had some attitude. She was competent, but not very professional overall.
Some prices:
Regular Soft Drinks: $2.09.
Barbecued Ribs: $15.49.
The Pub can seat over 30, but the tables and chairs are too close to each other (even sitting at a booth isn't much better). It's hard to move around, and there's almost no room to put your luggage (thankfully, my wife and I were at a "large" table in the back).
It was very hard to walk by the bar (only about 6 people can stand or sit comfortably). The bartender slightly impressed me, as did the TV behind her (the Pub was partly crowded because it was a college football Saturday- Michigan crushed Bowling Green 65-21).
The condiment area is pretty good (I mainly grabbed straws and pepper packets there), and barbecue sauce and ketchup can be found on some of the tables.
What really bugged us is that we were running short on time (I'm glad that I didn't have to take a dump on the plane), and it took over 20 minutes before my number was called (like at some diners, you're given a number to hold and bring up). I know that I ordered ribs, but still (only my hunger and curiosity kept me from canceling the order).
I was hoping that the ribs would save the day, but they didn't. The sauce is watery and only average in taste (I would have preferred it on the side). We received a fair number of ribs (about 10), and they were moderately meaty, but I was still disappointed.
We weren't quite full after scarfing down the ribs, but I'm glad that I decided not to order fries (we were rushed as it was, and the fries probably would have been ready earlier and left lying around).
It's good that we weren't more thirsty. The glasses used here aren't very big.
The cashiers have to do too much. The girl who was around not only took orders, but processed them. She also started to bus tables when my wife and I got ready to leave.
I only saw 2 food preparers in the back (there may have been someone else around, as I really didn't get the sense that either of them cooked the ribs). They didn't seem to be slow, but something was clearly amiss (I was even annoyed at how slowly other customers got their food- I think they were dazed after waiting so long, and I even muttered "Wake up" at this one woman).
At least 2 people left after a few minutes. I don't know if they just wanted a place to crash, or if they decided not to eat here. Whatever the case, they did themselves a favor.
The original Miller's Pub is somewhere else in Chicago. It's famous, but I wonder if the food is really any better there. Anyway, if we ever find ourselves at Midway again, my wife and I will walk by this place without a second thought.
Wow, can I go with zero stars? Â This place *sucks* big time.
Where do I start? Â First, the snotty, morbidly obese lady mentioned in another review treated me like a jerk for having the audacity of asking if they had a wall plug (didn't even look up to make eye contact, just pointed down the concourse and said "down there" like I was scum).
Then I was asked if I wanted my Buffalo wings dipped in hot sauce. Now, I like to apply hot sauce myself so I said "no" and placed two orders for wings (I was hungry, and knew how stingy airport restaurants are). Â When they came, there was *no* sauce at all on them - no hot sauce, no buffalo sauce, nothing. Â And the bleu cheese tasted like ass.
Then when I asked for a refill, she says "it's the same cost as a new drink." Â $2.32 for fizzy water? I mean, I get it - I'm a captive customer, but DAMN, do you have to beat me over the head with that fact?
Seriously - don't waste your time on this place, it is just awful. Â And expensive.
The fact that I can't eat a single item on the menu aside (nothing vegan, and maybe one or two vegetarian meals), the offerings at this place are entirely uninspired. The employees are also kind of grumpy. I know, it sucks you have to work at a pseudo restaurant in an airport, but that's life. Try smiling.
Review Source:I had a 7am flight so I had no time to eat. I had a choice of McDonald's or Miller's. I chose the latter. I was starving and still found the food to be nasty upon first bite. To make it worse, my table was dirty as were the surrounding ones. While I was eating none of the employees were cleaning up.
Next time it's McDonald's.
They were playing some sort of anonymous house music, the kind you here at a cheesy-trendy hotel lobby. Â The menu is short and the food is typical unappetizing, overpriced airport fare. The only vegetarian item on the menu is hummus, which is watered down and bland.
Sad how we've come to have such low-expectations from airport food, and how these restaurants consistently under-deliver.
In Midway Airport.  Not suggested.  Unless you want some alcohol, something we were not interested in at the time (yet it looks good for that), I most certainly do not recommend  this place for food. Â
The employees have no idea what they are serving, basically your "box of rocks" types. Â When I asked what drinks do not contain corn syrup, they didn't know. Â I was told with the grin of a fourth grader "We dunno, child." Â Â Â So the free ice water I was served was a tiny plastic cup about a whole 4 ounces. Â
The "Price Gouged for Fliers" burger at a whopping $10 was mediocre and didn't make up for the snotty service. Â The overweight perma-frown grumpy bitch at the counter was a control freak, you know, too good to make eye contact with the customers, graced by her presence. Â While I was waiting for my food, twice she told me to stand to the right of the counter, not the left. Â Â As there were no signs telling you where to wait, and considering I was in a public place (dining area), the second time I did snipe back with "No, actually I am going to stand right here." Â Â That got an ice cold stare, but no response, as she only speaks to real people, co-workers... Â
Ya'll know that type of attitude. Â Â Burger didn't come with any condiments nor was I asked if I wanted any. Â Had to ask for napkins. Â The cole slaw was this weird orange color and I wouldn't have eaten that if someone had paid me. Â Smelled like vinegar and dirty socks. Â Â The dry burger was obvious a pre-heated patty that these brain children did manage to heat to a proper temperature. Â I was able to swallow it with a lot of water in between bites.
Four stars for an airport bar? Â Am I still drunk?
No, I was just impressed. Â When you're drinking Blue Moons out of a plastic cup and you don't mind, then they must be doing something good. Â And yes, they had oranges.
Someone had also ordered food and ditched out on them, my hatred of wasted food made me as the bartender what she was going to do with them. Â She handed me the two Styrofoam containers and wished me a Merry Christmas.
And a merry christmas it was indeed! Â I waited until I was near the gate to open my presents. Â It was hot wings w/ranch and a side of fries.
Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
This is your traditional sports bar, with all the greasy fried food and blaring TVs you want. Â The only vegetarian option was a grilled cheese sandwich, but it came out well-prepared and as expected. Â In fact, it arrived before I could get the bartendress to pour me a beer. Â (BTW, she takes carding every patron very seriously.)
