n 1941, George Miller threw open the doors to what would become a local legend – a humble “shot-and-a-beer bar” on Michigan Avenue. But it wasn’t until his nephews Dennis and Mark Miller stepped in that the real magic happened. Under the watchful eye of their father Russ, they introduced the award winning burgers that would put Miller’s Bar on the map, earning worldwide fame for a no frills, no fuss burger.

When you step into Miller’s Bar, you’re stepping into a tradition that spans generations. Our burgers are the stuff of legend – 7 ounces of fresh (never frozen) ground round that is custom ground and pattied to our exact specifications every morning. Every Miller’s Burger is made to order on our grill that can sizzle up to 30 burgers at once, so we’re always serving up a meal that hits the spot. But it’s not just the flavor that keeps our patrons coming back for more. Here at Miller’s Bar you’re not just a customer – you’re family. Some of our regulars have been with us so long, we’ve got their order cooking before they even take a seat. And what’s the go-to order? A classic cheeseburger, fries and a pop – a combination that never fails.

Miller’s Bar is a place where families gather, where colleagues catch up over lunch and where friends swap stories over a hearty meal. For more than 83 years, Miller’s has fueled Detroit’s history, feeding generations of the auto industry. Our tables have welcomed everyone from Red Wings, Tigers, Lions, and Pistons to politicians, presidents, and first ladies like Hillary Clinton, as well as Hollywood stars including Mark Cuban, Renée Zellweger, Tom Selleck, Jimmy Fallon, and many more. For those who’ve moved away, a stop at Miller’s is more than a meal—it’s a pilgrimage. It’s the first taste of home after landing at the airport, and the last bite before hitting the road again.

So join us at Miller’s Bar for a taste of tradition, a dash of nostalgia and a burger experience like no other. You’re not just dining with us – you’re becoming part of our story.
