8. Val's Famous Pizza and Grinders
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By MadDogTraveler
This was our first time visiting this place. It was great. We came in for lunch. It was a weekday and not very crowded. The service was top notch. They have a great beer selection as well. We got the doughboys appetizer and they were super good. I had the roast beef grinder. It was by far the best beef sandwich I have had in years. The meat was spiced and cooked perfect. There was zero fat on it! The bread was awesome and the cheese was melted and the whole thing was perfectly toasted. My husband had the French bread pizza. It was delish. It was on great bread, fresh sauce and cooked perfect. We will be adding this place to our dining our rotation for sure. Don't know why we waited so long to go here.

My family and I had traveled FOREVER and just wanted a decent meal. We were seated quickly and welcomed by staff. Within just a few minutes we had our food- order was correct- and delicious. Bathrooms were clean- and as a matter of fact, were being checked on by a very friendly young lady. Our server was extremely friendly and went over and above what she had to giving us advice on local festivals, best times to visit places and even went and got others to help us with directions. Great experience!
6. Clancy's Irish Pub
Reviewed By Kathryn L
There was a live band and the food was cheap, the atmosphere was decent and they had the place decorated for Valentineâs Day which seems to be a Chicago thing. I ordered a Reuben and some garlic Parmesan wings which were decent. The bartender seemed mostly interested in chatting at the end of the bar with her friends. We asked her a question which she said she would look into that never got answered. It wasnât necessarily important but she said she would look into it and then spent the remainder of her time chit chatting with her friends before we left. The music was great though and the food and alcohol was good and cheap!
5. Red Carpet Lounge
Reviewed By rrmilburn
The red carpet lounge is a must stop! Itâs everything youâd expect a dive bar to be including the nicest people youâll ever meet. Joyce is the best and even took our pictures and printed them for us. Val was the bartender and I canât say enough good things about her! We were made to feel right at home and this place is a real life cheers, even to out of towners like us. This place was honestly the best part of our trip and if we are back in the area we will surely be stopping by.

For a change of pace, we drop in at this Applebee's for appetizers and once in awhile a meal. We enjoy the Boneless Wings with Honey BBQ sauce and the French onion soup. The BBQ ribs are terrific and you can't go wrong with their Sirloins or Hamburgers!
1. Flamingo Pizza of Miller
Overall Ratings
4 based on 50 reviews
Reviewed By dawnrelyea
Flamingos is a staple in Miller. The staff is friendly and always helpful. Pizza is good if you like thin crust pizza and bar has plenty of choices for drinks. My only complaint and reason for 3 star rating instead of 5 is the smell. Flamingos allows smoking inside and to get to the non-smoking section you have to walk through the smoking section. The sections are not separated by a wall or door so itâs really not smoke free. The ventilation on the night of our visit was not very good and it wasnât long before you could not tell the smoking from the non-smoking section.
