Best of Miller Beach
Food & Drink
These eateries and watering holes are my favorite!
Famous for pizza and delicious Lake Perch dinners, Flamingo is my go-to spot for juicy steaks and burgers. The bar can be noisy and smoky, so head to the back for a quieter place to dine.

The closest place to grab a big breakfast and a Bloody Mary. Beach Cafe has plenty of elbow room, a robust lunch and dinner menu with daily specials, and a cozy fireplace in winter months. Go left on Oak to Shelby, then south about a block.

The generous Lobster Rolls are to die for here, but the whole menu is delightful at this charming nautically-inspired eatery. A great spot for brunch on the weekends. Dine inside (it's so cute!) or have Chef Angela pack a delicious lunch box to take to the beach!

Outstanding pizza and casual fare served in a historic train depot alongside the railroad tracks on Lake Street. It's fun to eat here, but they'll also bring a pie and a six-pack of beer right to your face!

An inexpensive, old-school Chinese joint out on the highway. Worth a visit for the kitsch factor, but they also deliver if you don't feel like getting in the car. I always get the steak and veggie dinner special.

My absolute favorite coffeehouse -- I spend many mornings here with my laptop. Anna's has strong coffee, warm staff, a deliciously healthy menu and a revolving door of interesting characters. Grab some kombucha and locally-sourced eggs, produce and sourdough bread to take back to the house!
