Miller's Chicken

Omg, if you want chicken like your mawmaw use to cook then you have to try Miller's. I had never been before and was shocked at how long they have been doing amazing chicken. We got 2 chicken breast, slaw, mac&cheese and old time mash potatoes with chicken gravy. This was definitely a finger lickin moment and we will definitely be back. For desert we had the homemade cheesecake and it was delicious.

Behind the counter is an old school menu board with a long list of delicious choices at reasonable prices. To the left there's a large glass case with homemade sides such as macaroni salad, four bean salad and delicious desserts to name a few. It's as if a favorite aunt decided to open a restaurant and serve the family classics daily. The reason it's worth the drive is because it's not easy to find a place that makes fried chicken that tastes like what a loved one you still miss used to make it in their cast iron skillet on top of the stove. The crispy fried chicken here unlocks a flavor memory for a lot of us and that's not so easy to find these days. For the decor, think unpretentious, practical and family friendly. Enjoy the fact the history of this restaurant is displayed. Be glad that there are still places like this one with good food, good prices, local pride and handcrafted wreath on the hearth. I wouldn't change a thing.

Perfect quintessential Ohio restaurant. There really needs to be more like this. Forget fast food this is where it’s at. My chicken tenders were really good and brought back plenty of nostalgia from tenders of years ago. I liked the honey mustard packs they used it had a slight kick which was nice. Green beans done right and properly seasoned and the potatoes were a a 10/10. Staff was super friendly and the restaurant was very clean. This is an older building and you can tell how dedicated they are to keeping the place clean. Will def. Make a stop anytime I’m near Athens.

The food was all homemade and was piping hot and fresh. Definitely a nice little gem of a find. The mashed potatoes and homemade broth gravy with homemade biscuits are definitely a win win.

There is no product in America that cannot be made cheaper and sold for more. Miller's did this with the macaroni salad, which used to be the best in the state. I have been a customer for more than fifty years. I will not return until I am assured that they have restored the original recipe. So disappointed.

I took my family here to experience their first Miller’s Chicken. The chicken was cooked well and delightfully crispy. The fries satisfied the kids, but weren’t anything special. The pasta salad was alright, but we didn’t eat the last bit because there was so much dressing. Good experience overall though, and we would definitely go again.

We drove over an hour to try this restaurant because we had heard such great things about the food. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. From the moment we walked in, we were met with rudeness and eye rolls from the host. Before we even made it fully inside, we were repeatedly told to “shut the door” in a very unwelcoming tone. When we asked about ordering food to go—since we could see the restaurant was busy and did not want to inconvenience them—we were curtly told there was no room for us, even though we weren’t asking to be seated. When we requested to speak with the manager about how we were treated, the host tried to dismiss our concerns as if they were no big deal. Once we had the chance to speak to the manager, it was obvious that this is usual behavior with their staff and clearly, not frowned upon. After driving such a long way and looking forward to trying this place, the lack of professionalism and basic courtesy from the staff completely overshadowed any excitement we had. This restaurant is only receiving one star because zero stars is not an option. Good food can only take a restaurant so far—customer service matters just as much. Sadly, based on this experience, we won’t be returning and cannot recommend it to others.

I’ve been going to Miller’s for probably 24 years. I don’t live in Athens anymore, but I always make it a point to get to Miller’s for some hot wings and a super chicken sandwich. The quality of everything they make is top notch and the service is always friendly. I hope this place never goes away.
