Miller's Bar

Don’t get in here enough. The patties are 7oz and cooked to perfection. I opted for a double with cheese and extra pickles, pretty much made it so I had to eat the monster without setting it down. Highly recommend as the service is always great.

Haven't been inside in quite awhile. Great friendly staff. Still has the old feel/classic vintage. Cheeseburger was GREAT. Anyone can make a burger with 50 things added on. But this place makes just the cheeseburger and if you didnt add anything else to it....it would still be great. THAT'S how you know its the real deal. Keep up the great work! Remember cash only.

LOVED this place. The food and staff are incredible! Happy this was our first stop since we left Florida. Kudos to ownership, management and staff - keep up the great work. Also, this place was highly recommended by locals that I know...everyone had great things to say about it, not just a tourist opinion here. 👌

First time trying it… not the last time. I’ve heard all great things about Miller’s so I had to see for myself. The burger was MUCH bigger than I anticipated. It was cooked perfectly the way I wanted it!! I should’ve ordered a burger on the way out. Food, Service, Quality.. 10/10!!!!

Definitely an old fashioned joint. I think this is a place for locals, as soon as you sit down you’re ordering a burger, no choice on that. The beers come in bottles, and the food comes on a piece of paper. Don’t let that change your mind to come here, I couldn’t be happier that I did. Perfect service, great food, and it was like $20 for a dinner with drinks. This place should always be packed. It kind of looks intimidating when you walk in, but they make you feel right at home

This place is a local classic. The shoestring fries are nice and crispy and the onion rings are also delicious. The hamburgers are good but far from great. It was cooked to order and received mine appropriately medium and juicy inside. The onions and pickles served on the side are a nice amenity. But my god, is it expensive. EVERY person who paid (you tell them what you ordered on the honor system) asked if the computations were correct. The prices were printed on a single menu at the bar. I believe it was $13 for a cheeseburger and $6 for a bottle of beer. This is getting up to strip club prices on drinks. They could probably use an upgrade on TV's. Only 2 televisions in the whole bar area. Also cash only, so make sure you have enough.

Since this was my first time here I cannot iudge on how it was before the New Owners took over. We ordered 2 cheeseburgers, fries, & 2 cokes it was 33.00. I thought that was extremely ridiculous, really! The burgers were good but not worth 33.00. The wait staff was unfriendly, actually all the girls were unfriendly. No smiles no happy faces. The prices do not justify the current result. There are no menus, no bills, no plates, pickles come in a baggie, onions on wax paper. How do you justify the prices. We won’t be back, good luck to the New Owners you may need to make some changes, considering all the other negative posts.

I hadn't been here in years but it almost seems like you have to help yourself. The service is terrible. The burgers which I never thought were outstanding are mediocre at best. They are expensive. Make sure you bring cash or you will be using their ATM machine with a charge attached. The atmosphere isn't even good enough to be called a good Dive Bar anymore. Definitely not worth the hype of years ago.

I don't eat beef so had the chicken sandwich. Thick piece of chicken that was a little too greasy. I added an onion ring to it and yum! Our bartender was cool. Told us about the place. Another man working there talked too much. This place is such a dive! It's old but I don't think it should be updated because the decor is part of the experience. It's definitely is a one of a kind experience. They don't us plates. Everything comes out on wax paper. If you ask for onions or pickles, they bring them out in a plastic baggy.

Miller's Bar has one of the best hamburgers I've ever had in my life! You don't even need to add any condiments! You can add cheese, pickles or onions. Ketchup and mustard is on the table. I always order a side of fries well done. They have killer onion rings too. This is a cash only establishment based on the honor system. You walk up to the bar when your finished, tell the bartender what you ate and drank and they ring you up!

this place has terriable burgers and the waiter has the highest ego ever. the pickle is better than the actually burger and the have no menus

Best Burgers , Fries and onion rings in town! Great service ! The owner makes you feel welcome !

Okay, before I start this review, just forget anything you know about burgers. This place is one of a kind. @guyfieri absolutely MUST go here for Triple D It has the cool feel of an old school bar. They take orders and you cash out at the bar on the order system. They sell burgers, beer, fries and onion rings. They serve your burger on parchment paper and the only sauces are ketchup and mustard So my fries arrived first. Shoestring fries. Crispy, tasty, and not overly salted. The burger comes next. On its wax paper. Let's start with the bread. Soft, and wow... but that wasn't the bread that sold it. The cheese was so good! The meat, cooked to a perfect temperature. Remember how I said you only can get ketchup or mustard, well you don't need it. Holy smokes. It's was juicy, the meat season and cooked perfectly. I'm not a huge burger guy. This made me want to get a second burger. Please try this place and thank me later.

The best burgers!! My all time favorite. Seriously, you have to try these. If you don't already know about Miller's burgers, you need to. They are legendary. My family and I have been coming here for decades and it's always fantastic. There is a menu on the wall if you need it. I always get a cheeseburger. You get a choice of American or Swiss cheese, and the burger is cooked to order. I prefer mine medium rare and they do it so perfect. Sliced pickles and fresh onion are brought to the table so you can add what you like to your burger. I love their fresh onion. Burgers are served on waxed paper. I love it! Easy for me to squirt some ketchup on the side, and I'm not dirtying any dishes. I also enjoy their fries, which are nice and crispy. The onion rings are great too. They have a full bar so you can have an alcoholic beverage, and they serve sodas and bottled water too. They use the honor system for paying. When finished, you go up to the cash register and tell them what you ordered and they tell you what you owe. Fast and easy. Cash only. Excellent service! Friendly and attentive staff. Large parking lot in back so plenty of free parking. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and excellent food. Fabulous experience!

Here's an idea How bout we all just boycott this place until they get their s$&t together and also lose the attitude? Every price increase since Covid has been met with increasingly disgruntled staff and lower food quality. I ordered takeout for the first time in my 25+ years as a patron. I happened to be in the area but was in a time crunch. The phone call was fine. My ordered was ready on time. I tipped the bartender on the carry out but she had something to say to the back of my head as I was leaving with the food. Idk, how much she was expecting but a tip on a carry out is better than NO TIP on a carry out. My total was $16 for a cheeseburger and fries. For anyone who's not yet visited Miller's, their burgers are essentially large sliders with a regular old "grocery store" type bun. The fries are the least expensive wholesale brand of shoestrings that exist in the world of restaurant food. I do my best to support local business owners. However, this price GOUGE is off the charts!!! To make matters worse, the $5.50 order of fries were balled up in wax paper and basically looked like someone did their very best to squeeze the package into oblivion. What's happening at this place is borderline criminal! I'm done here. Surely there's a mom and pop place in metro Detroit who can do what they're doing and at least sort of come off like they care.

What can I say. Classic Dearborn hamburger place. Do you want cheese? Do you want fries? What to drink? That's about it! Whatever they do they are doing it right. As their tee shirt says "where other burgers come to worship"

Ate there yesterday and sadly it was not at all as I remember. We've been going to Miller's bar for decades and has been such a disappointment the last 2 times there. The hamburger patties are thicker than I remember, way overcooked (asked for medium) and were very dry. Sadly, we will no longer go back

Burgers are AMAZING!!! Been coming here for 20+ years. Old school place that always delivers an awesome burger. Best pickles and great onion rings too

Not what it use to be. Had heard they changed hands. Ordered medium received very rare. Used to be as hash style burger now look liked preformed possibly frozen patty. Also very pricey for what it is. Service lacklust at best.

Not much to say. This place has been around for a long time. Currently was purchased by a new owner. Very limited menu. I had a hamburger and onion rings. I asked for grilled onions on my hamburger and they said they do not offer them but I could have raw onion and pickles. The onion rings were dried out and may have been frozen? I would not order the onion rings. High priced for the area. Packed full of regular customers. There are good hamburgers all over metro Detroit for half the price. I will not be returning anytime soon. But it was a good place to try once. Cash Only - No Credit Cards.

We walked as we head it was a staple in Dearborn. Service was good. We decided to eat which we hadn't planned. Burger was very good interesting just served on a piece wrap paper only option is pickle and onion. Still good. We tried the onion rings. I did not love them but batter was lite and not greasy which was good

Employee yelled at us and I quote "to go to McDonald's if we're pinching Pennies" because we didn't want to pay six dollars for water. You should be ashamed of yourselves for shaming people in this economy. You can't be doing too well either if you feel the need to charge $3 per person for water. I'll never waste my money on your sorry business.

The Miller family would be proud. The new owners have spiffed everything up. The food really was top notch.... Same deal as before: simple menu, wax paper plates, honor system to pay at the bar. A great, unique Dearborn institution lives on. The staff and executive manager Gary Christmas help make this place great. Sublime.

1 hamburger 1chicken sandwich 1 fry 1onion rings 2 beers $40+Tip Very Decent food. No plates or silverware (my spouse received a plastic fork and knife). No explanation of charges? Cash only? No music. No pool table. I walked out feeling fleeced.

Miller's Bar has been around over 80 years. I came here because I like supporting family-owned restaurants, plus I heard the burger was great. Quite frankly, I thought the burger and fries were average tasting and overpriced. Cash only payments are made at the bar. Miller's goes by the honor system, meaning you simply tell them what you ordered. I don't regret dining here, but there are other places in the Metro Detroit area I'd rather get a burger from.

I've been coming to Miller's for about 50 years. Today was the worst experience ever. It was busy and the waitress who was busting her hump to take care of the entire dining room was clearly overwhelmed. It took us almost 40 minutes to get drinks, and that's Coke or Vernors. Food did not come out until an hour and 15 minutes after we arrived. We noticed several other tables that came in after us received their food first, extremely poor management. The burger is nothing like I remember. Dried out and tasteless. The bun was nothing special. Fries were OK, onion rings were outstanding. No effort was made to comp us for the poor service, which I repeat was not the fault of the waitress. She's our favorite. I caught the eye of the owner and told him the first line in this review. He looked frustrated as he started to say he was sorry, but by then I had departed. Truly disappointing as I always make an effort to come here when returning to Michigan to visit family. I would seriously question coming here again, especially anytime close to the lunch hour. You might think this is a one time occurrence, but my family had a very similar experience about a month ago.

Everything. Food, drink, service cleanliness It's really great. The new owners have really made the place sparkle and continued the magic of Millers Bar

1. The food was amazing. The menu was small, but the amazing burgers made up for it. They were fresh and delicious. 2. The people were super nice. Gary Christmas was very kind, and so we're the rest of the staff. 3. The place was small, but it was really nice, especially when they decorate it for Christmas. 11/10. Highly recommend.

Im sorry I have to do this. I loved Miller's and their burgers, but this is no longer the Miller's I remember. Ever since the pandemic, it seemed different. Whoever is cooking the burgers is drastically undercooking them. I order medium, but they seem close to raw inside. Also, these seem to be just frozen patties and bland. I would like to think it was a one-time thing, but as of today, it's been like this the last four times i have been here. That and the prices have gone out of control, and they no longer even have baskets... everything just gets a pice of waxed paper. I hope they take this to heart as Millers was one of the places I have great memories of coming to with my dad for burgers while we watched the Tigers and Lions but more often, just for what were their great burgers.

Amazing food and great customer service. This place has been around for 85 years and nothing has changed. That's the way it should be. They have four things on the menu. You can choose a grilled cheese or burger or chicken fingers. Enjoy it.

It really pains me to write this review. For decades we've been going to Miller's. The bar burgers were the best. It had been years since I've been there. The only thing I can say is, "Things have really changed", and not in a good way. 4 burgers, 3 fries and 3 cokes - $70. WoW The burger patty's looked uniform and pre-frozen. They were cooked to order but overall they were tasteless. They were dripping grease. Just not the same. It's a shame. Too many of the great old places are gone. This will be one of them if it keeps going.

As always they never disappoint, there is a reason this place is a hit considering their menu is very limited.... Best burgers ever!!!!

We love Miller's Bar! No frills, locals know best. You walk in, take a seat. The waitress comes over and expects you to know what you want immediately- because everyone does. They're pros. Order a drink- not a water. You'll look like a schmuck. Get a burger. With fries. Lately, no beans. Bummer. The burger hits just right- whether on lunch or a hangover. It's perfect. It is payment on honor system. You go up to the bar and tell the bartender what you ate and drank. It's totally awesome. If you haven't been to Miller's Bar, your missing out. It's so good!!

An absolute staple. Best burger around period. Old school. Don't mess with excellence. If you're upset about the limited menu you do not understand timeless classic American pleasures. Never change Millers. P.s I heard they put in tvs since my last visit and am not thrilled with that. Love stepping back in time and having an old school experience. Everywhere has tvs now and it's nice to have a break from that.

Honestly, hands down the best burger around Dearborn! A true hidden gem--small, intimate bar with a cozy, hole-in-the-wall vibe. If you're a burger lover, this is the spot!

New owner has not changed the quality of food. The burgers are large and tastefully juicy. Fries served hot as well as onion rings having a tasty crunchy batter to accompany a perfect burger. Staff of very friendly servers, especially Lyne who has been there for years. Nice to continue with welcoming and familiar staff. I like that the friendly owner pitches in to help and actually stops at the table to greet customers. The bar is very clean and well lighted. The same honor system to pay the bill. A few extra changes - bar no longer charge extra for water. Now open at noon on Sundays, which is awesome. We're so glad Miller's remains in Dearborn serving the best burger they're known for.

Don't serve Guinness if you don't know how to serve it correctly. Had the widget bottle, which is fine. But, they brought it to the table opened and no glass. Waitress didn't know what a pint glass was. Showed us three different glasses before finding one big enough to hold a pint. By then the Guinness had settled in the bottle and it was gross.

Such a bummer to write this one, but this place has changed. The burgers are just different and not the same--mediocre at best. The meat itself doesn't seem fresh. Should have known when the place as half full, at lunchtime, during homecoming weekend. $15 for a burger and fries. You're better off going down to Ford's Garage.

Expensive. $22 for cheeseburger, O-rings, 2 cans diet coke. I think bartender Toni ripped me off. Dark. Nothing to brag about.

Visited recently since the owner changed and wow, what happened? Burger was so dry and the bun was hard. The Millers I knew and loved is long gone. :(

I have no idea what to say other than that I have been coming here for years, with great burgers and great staff. It is a super lovely hole in the wall if you have not been hear, you are missing out.

I don't really understand the praise over this place? The burgers have absolutely no flavor and the sides are bland. Doesn't taste special at all, You can easily make the same flavor in a air fryer at home

Simplicity at it's finest! If your looking for a burger joint don't skip this place. They don't do much other than burgers but they do them right. Fries and onion rings are spot on as well. Only downfall would be no ranch but that is hardly a complaint. Belly up to the bar and enjoy the staff. Can't wait to go back. If your wondering yes it's just like that SNL skit. Cheeseburger cheeseburger cheeseburger

I lived in MI for twenty years before finding out about Millers bar. It's thirty minutes from my childhood home. I had friends that lived in the Dearborn area but they never mentioned the goodness of Millers bar. Finding out about Millers bar definitely helped put on a few lbs on the waistline. I've always been that yoyo type. You can't help get a crave for this place the way the cheese melts in your mouth with hot juicy patty, acidic cold flavor of the pickle finishing off with the bite of the raw white onion. My endorphins blast off into utopia. The staff here works hard daily and continuously making fresh made not frozen patties every morning to serve all day to their patrons. This has been a tradition since 1941, clearly they got the recipe right. Enter 2020, the COVID era, America at a Civil War. Millers bar stands strong, still serving up. No more pickle jar on the table, handed off upon request in sandwich bags. Burger served on wax paper, no special request allowed. Honesty rule upon payment. Let bartender know your order, cash only allowed; ATM on premise. Don't ever change Millers bar. I'll be back soon to my favorite hometown burger.

Don't. Do not. I drove 25 minutes to get there after hearing about it for a decade, and you absolutely should not do that. You shouldn't even drive 5 minutes to get there. Just don't go there. Yes, I know, you've heard foreeeever that Miller's is a great burger; it's included on every Best Burgers list you've ever read. This is absolutely NOT "the best burger in Metro Detroit"; it's not even better than fast food burgers, much less better than other restaurants. It is a good-sized but entirely tasteless $10 puck of beef, and the "fresh never frozen" boast does absolutely diddly-squat to improve it. My "medium" burger was gray on the outside but so cool and red throughout the entire center that I spent three full bites' worth of time being concerned that I shouldn't be eating this before deciding it was probably fine and if it wasn't, it was too late anyway. I had to put salt on the burger because it obviously had no seasoning in or on the meat. What the hell? I also had to put salt on the fries, which were cooked well enough but were similarly tasteless; good texture but uninteresting and certainly not good enough to be $4.75. The $5 onion rings were the only actually good thing. Hearty, crunchy breading (not battered), cooked through without being burnt, and a big enough serving to justify the price. The $3.25 shell of Miller would have been fine if their tap lines had been cleaned at any point since Watergate, but I don't believe they have. It was pretty bad. (Also, you don't get to know any of the prices before you order. Given that it's cash-only, multiple people trying to pay their bill at the register next to my seat at the bar were unhappy to learn how high their bill actually was.) I have absolutely no idea what traumatic brain injury has been collectively suffered by all the people who say this is a good burger, much less "the best burger in metro Detroit", but to them I say: absolutely not. Maybe this was the best Detroit could come up with in 1972, but today it is the worst burger I've had anywhere in the Eastern Time Zone.

New Owner! everything is the same with the exception of the waitresses! They are very friendly and attentive! that truly is a treat in it's self! I can hardly wait to go back! plus they are open on Sundays!!

Miller's Bar us an iconic landmark in Dearborn, Michigan and a staple of the community since 1941. The bar is the very definition of old-school neighborhood bar, a place where people can go and unwind with a cold beverage and perhaps one of their highly touted hamburgers. These burgers also embrace the old-school approach. Don't expect a plethora of inventive toppings for their burgers, Miller's Bar is not that kind of joint. Also, don't expect a plate. It will come on wax paper with very few toppings offered. But with burgers this good, you don't want to mask the flavor with toppings. Service is good, but keep in mind it is a neighborhood bar, not a fine dining establishment. Miller's Bar has been here for over eighty years, that in itself is a testament and an accomplishment. Come grab a drink and a burger, enjoy what generations in this community have enjoyed. You will be better off from this experience.

We got two soft drinks, 3 burgers and two fry/ onion ring combos. The bill came to $51, I almost fell over. I could have had a better meal at 5 guys for the same price.

We had the "Frings" (fries and onion rings) and a few drinks. Mixed drinks were great, bar tender was helpful and friendly, frings perfectly hit the spot for a snack! Definitely recommend visiting. They serve burgers, we just didn't get one this trip.

I use to go a few times a month, but since the change of ownership I've noticed a significant drop in their service standard. I hope the owner gets it together, but I don't think I'll be back.

I had to say Miller's bar is a unique place, but their food is really mid. It's really outgrown. It's error and I think that they can improve with the new owner and I can think they can improve the food and improve the whole environment. It's really dingy and not inviting. It's like you could pretty much walk in there and walk out and not pay. It's cause they do. The honest system sounds really bad but really if they can, change the little things around, but yes, I know the honor system but reality is how could you trust people to you? Pay their meals or how could you feed people like food in the bag that's gross. I tried the onion rings before I've tried everything. It gives me a stomach ache every time I eat, eat it so if you're listening to this, who is it whoever is a new owner please change the interior. Please change the food you know make improvements to the whole atmosphere and maybe start accepting credit cards because really people don't have money on them and people don't usually carry money like that. I just think that it's better to make improvements so that peoplecan come to your business and actually enjoy a good meal versus having trash food

Back after 18 years in Missouri. Had to visit Miller's Bar. 4 beers and two cheeseburgers with velveeta cheese, yes please. Jeff the bartender,( who has been working there for over 40 years) suggested ordering the burger how you order your steak, so medium rare. Before we could drink a few sips, the burgers and fries and onion rings arrived. Do not review this place as though it is a 5 star restaurant. It's plainly stated, burgers, grilled cheese ect. We got exactly what we ordered and expected, a big, juicy, cheesy burger. You can get velveeta or Swiss cheese, pickle and onion. They still do the honor system you tell them what you ordered. Cash only. We just wish it was closer to us!

I enjoyed have a great burger. This brought back so many memories from my youth growing up in the 60's... when there was no McD's to quickly run to.... Here you sit down and enjoy a Coke And a burger that is super delicious with a large order of fries with your favorite friends...

This place has been on my list for a while now, and my boyfriend and I finally went there tonight. He had been before, since he lives downriver, but I had not. I won't repeat what the other reviewers have said, but there are no menus, and you pay at the bar after you eat so it's on the honor system. For two burgers (no cheese), onion rings to split, and two Cokes, it was $23.50, which is reasonable. They have pickles on the table which was awesome because I love pickles; this way you can put as many as you want on it. They will bring you raw onion for your burger but be aware that they do not have tomatoes. They also have ketchup and mustard at the table. The ladies room was very clean although very dated. The men's room is actually located near the entrance and the ladies room is located on the North side of the building, closest to the parking lot. I'm taking away a star because they don't have tap water, which always annoys me (only bottled). If you order a soda they'll bring it in a can, with a glass and some ice, which was fine. I thought the onion rings were fantastic and the burger was good but not worth the hype. Other reviewers have said that they are hand-shaped patties, but to me they did not look like that. I would come back here when in the area, mostly for those fantastic onion rings, but I probably would head to Brome to get a "bougie" burger instead of to Miller's.

Millers bar is a timeless, staple. No frills. Literally one of the best burgers you'll ever have. Does not disappoint. Love this place.

Burgers are not as good as before and I wish they gave a bill for your order. You really have to pay attention to your total ... I once was charged $72 for 3 hamburgers, 1 fry and 2 diet pops. When I mentioned to the bartender he just said he hit the wrong buttons but didn't apologize and probably would have taken my money if I didn't question the bill. Will never go back.

Best burger in town, save what I grill. I hope the new owner keeps everything the same.
