Editorial Review for Miller's Pub & Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
A boisterous crowd of out-of-towners and city regulars gather to nosh and watch sports on TV at this Loop hangout. The kitchen serves a blend of Greek, Italian and Midwest meat-and-potato dishes, all served hot, fast and in generous quantities. For starters, tender calamari is fried to a golden color. Thick burgers are cooked to order, and baby back ribs are meaty, slathered with the restaurant's signature barbecue sauce.

Millers Pum is apparently known for its ribs but I happened in off the street and wanted a burger and what a burger it turned out to be. I would definently rate the hamburger at Millers as the best I have ever had. I can't wait to try the ribs on my next trip to Chicago. Oh, the service should also get a mention as being nothing less than sensational as one should expect from an establishment of this caliber.

I'm trying to figure out why all these restaurants have a claim to have "Famous Award Winning..." food to their names. Obviously, one of them is ribs. So after seeing this place being a former Citysearch "Best of..." winner, I had to come and try for myself to see if their 'Famous" ribs were the real deal. Walking in I can tell that the place was spacious, equiped with a long bar and an upstairs area. The place is surrounded with attractive vintage stained glass and with pictures with famous local and national celebrities on their wall. Their menu is pretty basic, mainly showcasing thier BBQ (which was the reason i was there). I ordered the Ribs & Chicken which was a 1/2 slab of wet rubbed ribs with a chicken leg and thigh and a portion of corn on the cob and a plate of fries. But after the first bite of the ribs, I thought to myself, "What's so famous about this?" Yes, they were good, but not to the extent I'd call them 'Famous". It's like I can cook my own ribs at home and brush on some store bought sauce on them. Good and not too dry, but nothing that I personally would give an award to. The chicken was nice and moist which I enjoyed. Actually, I expected fried chicken or chicken wings, but I enjoyed the surprise. The fries were surprisingly my favorite. Not too salty thick cut fries that were fried just right. Of course who could turn down the corn. I just wished they served a whole ear of corn and not some small portion that was boiled and not grilled. It's not a bad place to have lunch at. But personally I think it's becoming more touristy (hense the big cabinets of t-shirts and caps you see when you walk in) and I've had better ribs elsewhere. Come for lunch, but don't expect the ribs to be anything "Famous".
Pros: Ribs, food is good, plenty of seats at the bar, close to the adams and wabash Brown line stop or the Monroe Red line, decor
Cons: parking, failed to see the "famous" part
