| - We decided to try the Alehouse with some friends as it was new and it was time to give it a chance. After a somewhat brief wait since it was after 7 PM, so that is to be expected for anyplace at Town Square, we sat down and had our first drinks. My side of the group had beers, which were priced a little high in my opinion, but typical for any Vegas restaurant. The husband in the other couple had a double vodka tonic which I wished I had ordered since it was only $5, decent price.
After this we started ordering our food, which we had all decided to split so we would all be able to try some different thing. We started off with the Calamari appetizer, which was fairly typical, but was splashed with a fairly lively sweet chili sauce and was actually pretty good. For our pass around main courses we ordered the Mini Burgers, Fish and Chips, and a full rack of the Baby Back Ribs. The burgers were cooked a little bit too long and really had nothing memorable about them at all. The Fish and Chips were not crisp at all and had way too much fishy taste to them, indicating that they had perhaps been sitting around too long. This was a little odd since the place hasn't been open long enough for anything to really be sitting around too long. They were pretty horrible in the end and I couldn't possible recommend them. The Ribs made as far as one rib per person before we all concurred that they were just horrible and we sent them back. Ribs them self are obviously all the same, and are completely dependent on their sauce and rub to bring them to life. These were on the stretcher and being covered with a sheet. The sauce had this odd taste to it that I couldn't even identify, and I would like to think that I have a sense of taste.
Obviously the manager came over after we sent the ribs back, and fairly quickly, and offered us a free dessert after taking them off our bill. We decided on the Brownie Sundae, which was in my opinion not good, but my wife liked it and she is a far better judge of that as I am not a fan of brownie sundaes. I would have gone in another direction, but women usually get what they want.
I realize that this place is not some standalone single-owned restaurant, but rather a location of a chain, so the thing you can't expect to change here is the menu. Knowing that it's a chain, the bugs should be worked out of the menu by now and things should be a little better than they were.
I can't say all negative things about this place though. The manager was very quickly responsive to our dislike of the ribs, rather than making us sit there for a bit wondering what the status was. I cannot fault the staff at all since this restaurant is part of a larger machine and they are just going through the motions, doing their jobs. They have a lot of TVs, so you can distract yourself with some sport and hope you don't notice how the food tastes.
The restaurant winds up being in the end like so many chain restaurants. No soul and no meaning. I couldn't even figure out what the theme was supposed to be. I saw someone on here say this place was better than The Yardhouse, but that must have been written by someone who doesn't like beer. Alehouse has about 15 beers on tap, which is slightly different than the Yardhouse. Plus the food at the Yardhouse seems to be much better from what I've eaten there.
My final recommendation, if you're going to go eat at Miller's Alehouse, go somewhere else. It will probably work out more in your favor. Let this place be patronized by the people just going out to drink who don't care what they're eating.
