Millers Ale House - Ocala (FL)

5 /5 David Pinto: New restaurant just opened and it is very good. The food is great and the service was very very good. We will definitely be back. I’m glad that they have a nice new ale house here in Ocala because the old one was OK but it has been there for a long time. I like to eat at new restaurants.

3 /5 Rodney LeMond Sr: We tried this place because of previous visits to an Ale House in the Sanford, Fl. area. We really enjoyed the atmosphere here, the sports decor, and the number of televisions. Our server Deaven was very good, so. no complaints there. However when it came to the food it left little to be desired. I ordered the Classic burger cooked medium and it came out burnt. My wife had the Mahi sandwich the fish was so thin it was like a sliver of fish on a bun. The lettuce in her Ceasars salad was wilted. The beer was cold, and the French fries were good. I know management will respond to this review with, if you had told someone we would have made it right. My response to that is, someone should have checked the order before it ever left the kitchen and had seen that the burger was supposed to be cooked medium and not burnt. From what I learned while I was there was that they had a training staff in the kitchen because this restaurant is fairly new, and they didnt even catch it. We liked the place and probably will return but we will have to learn what food to order in the future. Maybe we will try the wings next time.

4 /5 Sponge Bob: We waited a short time to visit the newly opened Millers Ale House in Ocala. This is the second Millers in Ocala. Although we have never visited the older location north of this location. We did visit another Millers in south Florida earlier in the year. We gave them a little time to sort out the new opening issues, before trying this new Millers location out. We visited on a cloudy day in November, 2025 for lunch. It wasn’t overly busy, but it was also earlier in the day, on a weekday. Nights and weekends may be different. The staff were friendly and we had no issues to speak of. Our server did a great job. The building seemed clean and in good shape. Of course I would expect nothing else from a brand new building/establishment. My only issue had to do with lighting. It was a cloudy day at lunch time. Yet the inside lighting was extremely low, with most of the blinds closed. The blinds on the building front were open. Unfortunately my seat faced the front. As such, I could not see a whole lot inside the building. Instead I spent my whole lunch squinting from being blinded by the cloud light. The building inside was so dark, there was little offset from the outside light blinding me. The good news was that the food was good. They have different specials daily and also three regular lunch specials available weekdays between 11am-4pm. Prices as always are subjective to different folks opinions. Obviously the specials are less expensive. I personally found the prices somewhat reasonable. Obviously they could be cheaper. In this age where prices rise higher and higher for less and less quality and/or less quantity. This Millers at this time seemed reasonable to me. You may feel different. All in all, we found Millers to offer a decent experience with decent food at a decent price. I guess I can’t ask for much more.

4 /5 Tom Richards: Really excited to try the in dining experience. We had some to go earlier once they opened at it was good. This trip was mostly a good one. Every staff member was friendly and helpful at first. A couple hiccups ordering cocktails were either the server keyed in them wrong or heard us wrong. Nevertheless, both drinks were wrong but we accepted what we got and they were decent. We ordered wings as an app since they were on special for Wednesday and they were solid and something we’d ordered again. Of the 3 of us we ordered a filet, ribeye and chicken parm with fettuccine alfredo. Steaks were closer to medium than mid rare but surprisingly tasty for a chain restaurant. Better than Outback which is impressive. My chicken parm was fried to perfection and a nice portion overall. My feedback is the service was mediocre at the end. There were times we were left waiting in between the server checking on us. Once we finished eating, it was over 30 minutes. There were multiple managers making rounds but not table touching and checking in. I eventually flagged one done so we could get some boxes. Seems to be plenty of employees for the service to be at a 5 stars but execution is flat. Would love to make this a regular visit and hope to see service improvements. Still worth a try if you haven’t yet.
