Miller’s Ale House

Miller’s Ale House is a casual dining restaurant group that serves classic American food and a wide selection of beers in a lively, sports-focused setting. The brand began in 1988 with a single location in Jupiter, Florida, and has since built a steady reputation for approachable, family-friendly dining. A key milestone in its history came in 2013, when Roark Capital Group, a private equity firm known for investing in major restaurant and retail brands, acquired the company. This backing has supported Miller’s Ale House as it expanded beyond its Florida roots.

As of November 2025, Miller’s Ale House operates 100 locations across the United States. While Florida remains its largest market, the company has established a growing presence in states such as Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, and Texas. Over the past five years, Miller’s Ale House has accelerated its expansion, focusing on both suburban and urban retail corridors in the Southeast, Midwest, and Northeast. The brand favors freestanding buildings and end-cap spaces in shopping centers, particularly in areas with strong daytime populations and high visibility.

Each restaurant carries the local city name, such as “Orlando Ale House” or “Norridge Ale House,” which helps the brand connect with the community while delivering a consistent menu and guest experience. The typical location features a spacious dining room, a full bar, and numerous televisions for sports viewing, appealing to both families and groups looking for a relaxed, energetic atmosphere. Signature menu items like the “Zingers” boneless chicken, along with burgers, steaks, seafood, and salads, have broad appeal.

Miller’s Ale House operates all its restaurants corporately, maintaining tight control over service and brand standards. The company employs approximately 6,000 people nationwide and is headquartered in Orlando, Florida. Its steady growth and ability to adapt to different markets have made it a reliable anchor for a range of retail developments. The company continues to seek new sites and has several additional openings planned for 2026, reflecting ongoing demand for large-format, casual dining concepts in both established and emerging neighborhoods. Miller’s Ale House maintains an active presence in its communities and on social media, regularly promoting new locations, menu offerings, and local events.
