Broiled Salmon X CAJUN STYLE
Boobie D.

Upon arrival, there was a 15minute wait which ended up being about 5minutes. We were sat quickly as it was very busy. Doesnt hurt to make a reservation on Resy if it allows. We both had water, then the salmon with a side. I got the cajun style with broccoli and a house salad to start. Everything was good. I kept recommending to my colleagues as it was right beside the hotel. Plus who doesnt want to try a place that has been in operation since 1935 (I think it says).

Haddock fish with mac and cheese and a side of fries
Maggie L.

We came here after a show on a Friday night. It was busy but not overly crowded, so we were able to get seats pretty easily. This is a nice, cozy restaurant and bar, and they really go all out with the decorations during the holidays. We ordered the special (haddock) and the clam chowder. The food was a bit hit or miss. The clam chowder was watery and came out lukewarm. The entrée was much better, the haddock was amazing hot, fresh, and crispy! Unfortunately, the mac and cheese was also lukewarm, although the fries were piping hot. We've been here many times before, especially during the holidays, and it has never disappointed us. Maybe this was just an off night, with some of the dishes not coming out as hot or fresh as they should have been. We'll come back and give it another try the next time we're in the area.

I never leave reviews for places. But Chris the bartender was so good at his job I had to. Went the past couple weeks after my shift nearby. He's such a chiller and great worker. Outgoing and you can tell he really really cares about his patrons and hopes they are having a great experience. Just an A+ guy

Great place - try the ribs they look amazing - stop in this historic downtown location

Rib dinner
Barbara B.

Our friend's made reservations for late lunch. We were all happy with our food choices. I got the iconic turkey pot pie. It was tasty but super rich. The ribs were prepared the way my friend liked. The pastrami reuben was tasty. . Our young waiter was in training and he and his mentor were very friendly and checked on us often. It wasn't their fault the kitchen was super backed up and we needed to wait a long time for our food.

My boyfriend and I had an early dinner here on New Year's Eve and it was a lot of fun. Festive decorations, excellent service from Vicky, and delicious food. We also tried their famous Tom and Jerry cocktail and loved it! So good!! Vicky was very kind, answered menu questions, and provided recommendations. Everything looks so good and I definitely need to come back. Relaxed atmosphere and spacious interior. Lots of seating and yet still makes you feel like you have privacy. I really appreciated all the holiday decorations. They really did a wonderful job. I really enjoyed the fish and chips. The fish was haddock and it was fantastic, and the batter was so crispy. Even the tartar sauce was homemade. The fries were excellent, as well as the side of coleslaw. I also ordered a side Caesar salad. My boyfriend enjoyed his French dip sandwich too. We ordered the spanakopita for our appetizer and that was amazing! So flaky and flavorful. They offer it as an entree and I'll have to order it next time so I can have more. I really enjoyed reading about the history of the restaurant and I love that it's been family owned and operated for so many years. It's been around since 1935. Such a special place!

Tom & Jerry's!
John F.

I really liked the atmosphere. Exactly what you think of when you are thinking of a downtown Chicago bar and restaurant. Lots of pictures on the wall, TV's showing all types of sporting events and plenty of activity and noise. Tom & Jerry's are the specialty drink (it's the holiday's). Had to try one because my mother used to make them every Christmas. I have to say it wasn't bad... but could compare to mom's (but haven't ever found one that could!) Had a reservation but he sat at the bar for a while because we were early. Table was ready pretty much right on time. Our waiter was very nice, but he was either a little distracted or overworked, maybe both! Got our appetizer, but no plates or silverware (had to flag him down to get some). Food also showed up missing some items. He happily made everything right, just took awhile. Some of the food was good some not so much. We both got salads that were drenched in dressing and we also didn't love the Onion Rings Appetizer (they looked a lot better than they tasted, great breading tasteless onions). I had the Prime Rib French Dip. That was pretty good and my wife had the Rueben. That was decent too. I'd go back because the place was cool and enjoyed the sandwiches.

I believe I went to Miller's Pub with my wife 25 years ago and had a great meal. At that time, they had London broil. I returned to Miller's Pub tonight hoping there was still a small chance they had London broil, but they did not. I ordered a build-your-own hamburger instead, and it was very good. The beef was great, the bun was tasty, and the coleslaw was creamy and excellent, though the portion was small and came in a small metal cup. The French fries were average. I got a Guinness on tap, and it was immaculate. The service was very good. I need to return there again.

Charming , pure Chicago ! Loved the atmosphere & the service It's open late and in walking distance to everything

Prime Rib French Dip Deluxe Sandwich
Greg S.

Cool vibe. Great menu selection. Classic Chicago pub restaurant. Came here on a Saturday evening and was seated within 5 minutes. Great service too.

Natalie was an absolute delight to have as our bartender. Classic Chicago spot, and a great pour of Guinness.

Caesar Salad
Elgin B.

Atmosphere is extremely important to me, especially when I'm looking for a place to unwind after an event. After leaving the symphony, we wanted somewhere nearby to grab a meal and have a good conversation, so we ended up at Miller's Pub at 134 S. Wabash. My colleague had made a reservation, but honestly, it didn't seem necessary, you can easily walk in. Miller's Pub is a longtime Chicago staple, and we were seated quickly. The space is much larger than it appears, with a classic Irish pub feel and an antique charm that gives it a lot of character. Our server was enthusiastic, attentive, and very accommodating throughout the night, which we appreciated. Food-wise, we ordered a variety of dishes. I kept it simple with a salad topped with carrots and chicken, it was just okay, nothing particularly memorable. One of my colleagues ordered a chicken sandwich, and another got what might have been the most massive fish tender I've ever seen. If I ate fish, I definitely would've tried it, and she said it was really good. Unfortunately, what really impacted our experience was the atmosphere. There was a choir conference happening nearby, and a large group of attendees came into the pub and started singing, loudly and continuously, throughout the evening. While it was entertaining for the first couple of songs, it quickly became overwhelming and disruptive. It didn't seem like other patrons were enjoying it either, there was little to no engagement or applause, and I found myself wishing the staff had stepped in to tone things down a bit. I understand that a bar environment can bring in all kinds of energy, but this went on far too long and really took away from the experience we were hoping to have. Based on the food alone, I'd give Miller's Pub 3 out of 5 stars. But factoring in the overall experience, it's closer to a 2.5 out of 5 for me.

Spanakopita
Nancy P.

I love coming to this place! Even when it is packed and there's a wait, we always get a booth, sometimes it's the same one we always get lol I've tried a few things from the menu and can say that everything is good so far! This time I went in on a Wednesday night and was surprised to find the place packed but we were able to get our usual booth (we never ask for it we're just coincidentally sat there almost everytime we come in.) I tried the Caesar salad, as I have been eyeing it for a while, and my partner was finally able to get their famous chicken pot pie. It is always sold out so we had not been able to try it for a while. Everything was delicious. The chicken pot pie was the star of the show. The filling was so nice and thick. The pie crust was superb. The Caesar salad was delicious but I would order it without capers next time as they were too salty for my liking. It is a great serving too. I would definitely recommend the pie though as it was so delicious . The fish n chips is always a favorite as well as their chicken wings. I will definitely be back to try some more menu items.

Warm and lovely British pub with delicious pies and efficient service…read more My dining partner and I tried the mushroom and kale and the rocking vegan pies. The mushroom and kale pie was nice and cheesy and the rocking vegan pie was more savoury, with a variety of vegetables and chickpeas as stuffing. The crust was neither too soft nor too crunchy. The highlight of the meal was the curry chips: potato wedges lightly fried with masala and curry leaves. The dipping sauce that came with the chips reminded me of tikka masala sauce, and paired beautifully with the chips. Dessert was toffee pudding: the caramel sauce that came with the pudding was delectable - the pudding itself was excellent and not overly sweet. We tried a variety of NA beers, and I was pleased with how many options they had. Service was quick, and we were well looked after. The ambiance is warm, with dim-ish lighting and a lot of dark wood. The restrooms were gorgeous - special shoutout to the lovely floral wallpaper. Overall, I highly recommend Pleasant House - the vibe is chill and understated and the food is stellar.

A lot of these were my first time trying, and everything was good, though I'm realizing pub food might not be my favorite cuisine. That said, I can see why people love it, and the food was solid across the board. The vibes were the real highlight for me. Cozy, warm, and just a fun place to hang out. I was also pleasantly surprised by how affordable everything was. We were way too full for dessert, but I'd happily come back to try the sticky toffee pudding!

Checked out this hip looking brewery. It certainly is one of the many places to go to in The Loop…read more Industry Ales is a place that has a lot more than just beers, which is a good choice, because there's all kinds of people who crowd in and want to have fun times. Amazing that fun isn't always beers and chugging. The food is actually good and can be talked about in reviews because some people actually come here to eat, which tells you how they actually have a kitchen. Believe everything is good here but we came for the beers of course. It's certainly the main product made here so why wouldn't it be important. They make more than you can believe which is impressive because there's all kinds of crowds who pass through. For sure everyone wants beer. It's $6 a pint at happy hour. Pretty great for craft beers compared to lots of places it seems. Best one we got was the Bucket Hat. This is a Belgian style witbier. Has notes of bubble gum, coriander, and orange. The food isn't an afterthought so get some of that. It's about $18 for a burger. Vegans have options. Certainly one of these is the Veggie Burger. This is an amazing thing with a spinach patty topped with chipotle tomato marmalade, cremini mushrooms, mixed greens, pickled red onions, and sweet potatoes. All on a fluffy ciabatta bun. The rest of the menu contains meaty stuff. For sure it feels like a place for the hipsters but it's pretty great for anyone. It's located at the intersection of Jackson and Wabash close to lots of fun. The brewery has food that's better than expected but many other things about this kind of stuff are typical.

We were there on Friday, so the fish and chips were all-you-can-eat. So crispy on the outside and flakey on the inside. So yummy.

If you've never had proper Stovies, this is your chance to try them. Potatoes and onions with bits of roast kind of like mashed potatoes or a very thick stew. So yummy.

Whiskey fans, you'll love the huge selection along with the impressive beer selection. Yelp should really hype this as a whiskey bar, too. It more than qualifies. The cuisine is phenomenal. Definitely a place to bring a large party on your first visit, so you can sample a multitude of wonderful creations. Pro Tip: if you can tolerate a large quantity of fish, visit on a Wednesday for their AYCE Fish & Chips. I've had many hum drum AYCE dinners that are drab and only fill you up. Not this one. It's a great meal and a great deal. The Shepherd's Pie was fabulous, as was the Bangers and Mash. They've created a Haggis Burger that has to appease Americans, yet, still be haggis. A tall order since most would hate "true" haggis. Fear not, it's not your grandfather's haggis, it is a tasty burger. The fries were great but I'd recommend the Tattie Skins. We tasted so many different malts it was hard to pick a favourite. No foolin' they had island malts, highland malts, speyside and even a couple from the lowlands. Easy to spend over two hours in this public house. We did. Can't wait to get back to this town. This is a must! 02/26

After walking around Chicago Loop area and all the selfies at The Cloud Gate in Millennium Park taking a break would be nice as that was a great highlight of my time in Chicago which wasn't close to being over yet and having it right across from the park it was very convenient and a great spot that gave it the tavern/gastropub vibe. With the timing they were also celebrating Oktoberfest as well with Bratwurst and Bavarian Pretzel I opted for a Half Sandwich and Soup of the Day which was Pumpkin and what an absolute comforting bite even with the hotdog I had earlier and my Salmon BLT sandwich was a winner for sure. Everyone's dish looks absolutely amazing along with the service. It was great and I am so glad that we made this stop as it seems to have something for everyone to enjoy at a great price. Highly recommended especially with a lot of walking to give this place a try that's right across from Millennium Park. Thank you!
