Amazing fried chicken! Service was good and atmosphere just like a diner! Mac and cheese definitely worth getting!

For some reason, I always look forward to stopping by this place when I'm in town. It's not that it's amazing food but I enjoy it every time I stop by. It's great comfort food and the older atmosphere is always welcoming and nostalgic. Definitely going back! read more

Finally a old fashion place that serves chicken livers and hearts! Like grandma used to make. Chicken breast was large and so moist. Breading super tasty. Polite and helpful staff. Hole in the wall place that is clean and wonderful feel (atmosphere). No fine dining here, but dining done right. read more

Always good food at local family run business Good local food which is all that mattes. (Reviews should be short & sweet without minimum word requirement) read more

Best chicken ever! Chicken livers, oh, my! So many great things to choose from. Oh yeah, big fish. Always consistent. Always delicious!

I've been to this place twice so far the service is good. I think the food is good and so is the layout which is the inside and how it looks. I would recommend going there buy chicken. read more

Customer service is terrible. My and my "group" came in around 5:30 on a saturday from a hour away to try Millers chicken..... The first thing the lady says to us at the front is "idk if i have enough seating for you guys" Ok. We planned to eat in our cars anyways.. The next thing she says is can we come inside as we are literally trying to walk in. (haven't even been in the restaurant for 30 seconds) This lady then repeats herself 3 times AND rolls her eyes, i'm assuming she didn't want to serve a larger "group". After this we then decided to just leave because the lady AND her server friend acted like it was a inconvenience to service us. *Also the reason I kept quoting the word "group" is because in their yelp description they claim their restaurant is GREAT for groups...NOT. Thank you for ruing our evening, Addy. read more

I'm not sure where I heard about millers chicken... it was online somewhere on a foodie group and I knew I'd be in Athens eventually and put it on my must try list. Friday I had my chance. First, millers has been there forever it seems. You won't find glitzy decor or fancy place settings. You step up to the counter and place your order from a somewhat limited menu. I failed to order a childhood favorite -- chicken hearts -- so I must go back. We ordered fried chicken and perch and a couple sides. The perch was good and in these parts, hard to find. The price was reasonable and I could t finish the pound I ordered. The chicken was nicely seasoned, moist and delicious. The sides were lackluster at best. We enjoyed the unique experience. I'd go back, but I wouldn't go out of my way to dine there again. read more

Excellent fried chicken! Order at counter and friendly service-not fancy but food is awesome

If you like trash go here. Food is under cooked and unflavored, piss poor service and manners. Place it self looks run down like a wrecking ball is about to hit it depressing ambiance. read more

Down home cooking. Just like grandma would make. Comforting food and kind staff. Delicious! Would return.

Food was the best! Service was perfect and was the restaurant was clean well kept. Best place in town. read more

Miller's Chicken - Miller's chicken - American Near Me - Athens, Ohio

Came here based on reviews that I saw since I was in the area. I ordered the five piece chicken which consisted of one breast, one thigh, one drum and two wings. I also ordered the potato chunks which are basically like potato wedges. Food came out really fast within a couple of minutes so obviously they had everything pre-cooked. The potato wedges were a little soggy, I guess I prefer mine straight out of the fryer. The breading on the chicken was a little bit fresher and the drumstick was pretty juicy. The chicken breast however was definitely overcooked and extremely dry. For me it didn't have enough salt to it so I just ended up adding some with a salt packet that they had there. Very friendly service and pretty clean in the dining room. Five piece chicken was $8.75 and the small potato wedges for four wedges was $2.50. read more

Food is delicious! Best chicken around and the fried cauliflower is amazing! It's almost always busy & a local favorite

I would rate the food average, they are evidently known for their deep fried cauliflower which I didn't order. I did see a family with a table full of it and they were devouring it so must be great. Not much in the way of parking or seating so plan on waiting if they're busy and they do have takeout. read more

Very tasty chicken, cole slaw, baked beans! Don't forget the chicken livers & hearts. Some people like the gizzards too. Depends on what you grew up eating. We usually get our order to go and eat it at home. Or you can take it to a park for a picnic. read more

The chicken is the main reason to come here. The chicken was moist and not overcooked. The breading was perfectly spiced. The Mac and cheese was not my cup of tea. It was not as viscous as I liked and had minimal flavoring. The cheesecake was really good. Can't wait to come back. The parking was a little tight, but most people seem to do take out. read more

The workers are so kind and the food is so good for its price. The chicken is half the price of what you'd get at a fast food place, and twice as good in quality. I wish I had somewhere like this closer to where I live, I'm a big fan. read more

Family drive on a Saturday afternoon and came across this place. Food was hot and fresh. It came out fast. Delicious! Even the hard-to-please hubby was impressed. Super clean restaurant. We will definitely visit again. read more

Best fried chicken I've had in a long time. Fast and friendly service. We also bought a container of baked beans just to enjoy more at home.

My husband swears these are the best liver, hearts, and gizzards ever. I steered more towards the chicken, macaroni salad and Cole slaw and I'm not disappointed! Tastes homemade and super fresh! read more

Order chicken to go from Miller's whenever I'm near Athens ever since I graduated from OU in '83 and never been disappointed.

Best chicken in A-Town for sure! It's family run and owned so it has that extra little special thing! Everyone is kind and genuine. Food is good at a good price! read more

Maybe we went on a bad day. Chicken was cold and I swear those are instant mashed potatoes. Usually I can deal with those, but they weren't very good. read more

I was visiting Athens with friends who are also OU alumns. They raved about this chicken and I even got a quick peak when we stopped at Pawpurrs for drinks. Even my mother who attended OU in the 60s recalls Miller's being the next best thing to home cooked food. We were going to hit the road but decided to stop by before we left. Due to Covid restrictions, we had a short wait outside before we were able to enter and order. I went with chicken tenders and fries along with wings and green beans to take home. There's not much ambiance to the place and it was very in and out. I was floored by the prices which were so reasonable. We ordered and waited in the car for our food. My only gripe was the fact that I told them the car we were in and one of the workers still gave my order to someone else. Thankfully it was remade and piping hot when I received it. The chicken is perfection, even the tenders. The sides were meh, but still acceptable considering we were eating in the car. This is on the go-to list on our next trip to Athens! read more

Went to Miller's before Syracuse-Ohio game ordered 5 pieces of Chicken and Medium Mashed Potatoes with Gravy and Medium Mac&Chesse. It was some of the best fried chicken I've ever had moist and very juicy not dry at all Gravy was homemade and Mac&Chesse was good as well not my best ever or I would have given them a 5 star if you're near Athens it's a most stop you won't regret it. Amazing Chicken read more

Good locally owned restaurant with a rich history in the area. The potato salad was great and at first I thought it was ridiculous that you could only get 3 chicken strips. But when they came out I think I only ate 2 of them they are massive. Good chicken definitely seems like a spot only the locals know about what a neat old building as well. read more

Pretty solid fried chicken. I also had green beans and macaroni salad which were both yummy! Reasonably priced.

Classic fried chicken. Get the gizzards. Try the ham salad. The fried spicy chicken sandwich was good but comes plain. I added mayo and ltop and it was really good. Tip your waitress. read more

A trip to Athens isn't complete without making a trip Millers chicken, after my first time eating it 20 years ago to now, it still is the best fried chicken and the best macaroni salad in Ohio! I even had to bring a cooler to drive fours home to share it with my family! read more

Stopped here on our way out of Athens, great lil local chicken joint. Got the chicken sandwich, wish I had gotten the spicy one! Nice and classic. Wish it had some sort of sauce. Fries and onion rings were spot on. The real star though.... the biscuits!! What is better than a lil baggy of biscuits w ur chicken? NOTHING! Loved it. read more

Miller's Chicken - Chicken Sandwich - American Near Me - Athens, Ohio

The staff is soooo awkward!! Very pushy when you are trying to order. Very over priced. Will not return.

Delicious chicken and great service. Best chicken tenders anywhere. Super chicken sandwich is 100

Possibly the most overrated food in the world. Many people rave about this place but to me, it's just ok at best. The sides are good and the tenders are pretty good too but the problem is the fried dark meat chicken. It's always dry and not hot like it's been sitting under a heat lamp for a few days. I've given this place many chances and the chicken doesn't change. read more

Great fried chicken, local establishment. Love that they offer rare pieces like chicken hearts, gizzard, and livers. The sides are great as well, including the refrigerated coleslaw, potato salad, and macaroni salad. Unique flavoring across the board. Also have fish. A must have if you're looking for chicken during a trip to Athens. read more

Authentic sandwich shop giving you the authentic feel of snagging a snack with the grandparents. Priced fairly.

Love it! Brooke makes the best breakfast sandwiches! Chicken is delicious, best in town!

Stopping and picking up Miller's Chicken took me back to my College days 20+ years ago. Millers has fried chicken dinners, nuggets, livers, hearts, gizzards, hot wings, chicken sandwiches both original and spicy, fish sandwiches, fries, jalapeño poppers, biscuits, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, Mac and cheese, and green beans. The food is fairly priced. The food and service is simple, straightforward, no frills. Nothing has changed and that is nice sometimes. read more
