Miller's Bar
 23700 Michigan Ave, Dearborn, MI
 313-565-2577



Miller's Bar has been in business since 1941 and has been serving outstanding ground rounds for the last 50+ years or longer.  I first started going to Miller's back in 1973, the year I was eligible to legally purchase alcohol (drinking age was 18 in 1973).  Back then it was a right of passage for West Dearbornites to purchase a ground round, fries and a shell of beer while sitting at one of Miller's bar stools.

 During the week, it is not uncommon to find Ford employees having lunch at Miller's as it is about 2 miles from Ford's Research and Engineering Center in Dearborn.  As there website indicates, people from around the world have visited Miller's.  I myself, have introduced several South Korean's to Miller's finest cheeseburger.

Miller's offers several items on their menus, but the standard, as mentioned previously is a hamburger or cheese burger with fries.  In addition, one can select their baked beans.  Don't expect a plate as the burgers are served on waxed paper and the fries are served on a paper tray.  The condiments that Miller's offers is restricted to mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, raw onions and pickles.  Pretty basic fair compared to other burger bars around Detroit.  I have never sampled anything else on their menu beyond their burger, fries and beans.

The atmosphere is basic corner bar, someplace you would be comfortable bringing the family.  Since I have been visiting Miller's the decor has changed maybe twice, still it is very clean and well kept up.   The beer selection is standard domestic, I don't believe they offer any local craft beers.

Over the years, I find that their burger is very consistent and very  good.  I don't think there are may places that has offered a consistent product over the years like Miller's.  Miller's is also consistently voted one of the best bar burgers in the Detroit area every year.  

If you want a very good bar burger, Miller's is the place to visit.
