Miller & Carter Steakhouse in Suffolk Coastal

Had the set lunch menu which did not disappoint; tasty food and good value. Saffron, our waitress, was not only attentive but cheerful throughout, with a great sense of humour. It was a very enjoyable lunch with friends.

We went as a family of 4 adults and 1 child. One of the adults has an allergy to Onion and the restaurant catered fantastically. They checked through all ingredients in their food and told us which was suitable etc. They were also very attentive and checked in with us to see if everything was okay. 2 of the adults shared a steak sharing board and it was the most fantastic steak they’ve ever tasted, it was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. Our waitress was Alma and she was absolutely amazing!! Would definitely recommend miller and Carter and even better if your waitress is Alma. Thank you so much for the lovely meal and also to Alma for making our whole experience incredible. We will definitely be back!!

Wonderful food served up really well, steaks were perfect.

I really enjoyed my time at miller and carter on Sunday 28th of October. First off the food was just delightful, and let me not get started on the scenery. However most important of all was the service, I had a very kind and funny waitress by the name of Yara and she supported all my needs. Thank you I will be visiting again.

Beautiful food as always , very nice meal

We hadn’t booked……But we were pleasantly surprised to be seated and to enjoy a lovely steak meal……First class…… Our young waitress “Saffron” was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable…..Which made our experience complete……Thank you 🥩🍷🤗😂

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Miller & Carter, thanks to our amazing waitress Saffron. From the moment we sat down, she brought a wave of energy and laughter that made our lunchtime unforgettable. She not only took our orders with a smile, but also had us in stitches with her witty banter. Our boys—Big Nut, Bunny, and Pencil Head—were completely captivated by her fun personality. She went above and beyond to engage with them, making sure they felt included in the Steak Fest. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she had a knack for making our dining experience feel personal and special. It’s rare to find someone who can balance great service with such a light-hearted spirit. Thank you for a experience filled with laughter and delicious food! We can’t wait to come back and hopefully see her again!

The food was beautiful, we can not fault it one bit, best meal we have had out in awhile. Our waitress Saffron was delightful, such a cheery young lady, she had us all smiling the service was exceptional. Would 100% recommend this establishment and it’s a win win if your waitress is saffron x

A disappointment from start yo finish, on arrival on a wet Monday evening in late October, greeted, have you booked? No. We prefer you to book in advance! Understandable if it were busy by at best during our stay a max 40% of tables had guests at. Good waiter talked through allergies, gluten no problem, soya also - black pepper would he would talk to the chef. So we ordered he went to talk to the chef, considerably later he returned - mushroom starter could not be served black pepper free but the 50 day aged sirloin would be cooked in a pan not the griddle! Starters were good two buratta, one minus topping, and a prawn cocktail. Then, a long, long wait for mains. Sitting where we could see the pass, we could see two meals come up with allergy flags placed under lamps, along with other food, and just sit there. The two flagged dishes were there for 20 plus minutes before having garnish added and brought to the table. The burger had been overcooked and dried out under lights and was in edible. Surprisingly, the chips with them we cold! The two steak meals were tepid apart from the chips, which were hot . Staff offered to replace the burger meal, but we chose just to have some new chips. They then deducted the meal from the bill. No comments regarding the mainly left steak meals. A bill of £130 plus for three starters and two substandard mains with the cheapest wine - expensive night. It's not a patch on other M&C we have been to. We will not return here, but we may try another M&C elsewhere.

Visited here 4 times in the past today we were disappointed with the service and the food, our food sat on the hot plate 12 minutes before it was brought to us ,the waitress was more intrested in serving the bigger groups than us ,

We had a fantastic experience at Miller & Carter! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. Our server, Georgia, truly went above and beyond to make our evening special. She was attentive, friendly, and had a wonderful sense of humor that made us feel right at home. Her menu knowledge was impressive, and her recommendations were spot-on. The food was outstanding—steaks cooked to perfection and delicious sides that complemented each dish beautifully. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a memorable evening out. Thanks to Georgia and the team at Miller & Carter, we’ll definitely be back soon!

Fantastic welcoming place to eat, great food.

Nice food cooked to order service was good not to expensive

Another fabulous lunch at this very lovely eaterie! We were served by the wonderful Karolina who was professional, polite & very friendly! Thank you!

Recently visited Miller & Carter for a birthday lunch with my Mum. My mother has a very serious allergy to tomatoes which our server took very seriously. Dorota friend and efficient and made the whole ordering process simple checking with the kitchen as to what has traces of tomatoes in it. Food was incredible it is a case of you get what you pay for so yes it’s a little pricy but it’s so worth it. Both steaks were cooked to a perfect temperature. The whole M&C experience was amazing. I’d like to say a massive thank you to Dorota for her amazing friendly service. I am already looking forward to a return visit.

We went here after my Daughter's graduation today for a celebration meal. I would say it's ok but nothing special. If I had to be critical I would say the steak was seasoned nicely but just a tad over cooked resembling more "medium" rather than the medium rare ordered. Nothing major but when somewhere specializes in steak, it is a little bit.

GOOD ATMOSHERE, VERY GOOD WAITRESS

Amazing food and service by Corissa. Highly recommend!

Amazing food, great service (Adam was our server and he was really attentive, polite and helpful). The surf and turf was melt in the mouth and 100% recommended. Can't wait to visit again :-)

Enjoyed a lovely evening with my wife, lovely food, great service and will be going back soon.

Nice food much better than last visit

Amazing service from Karolina this evening, made us feel very welcome and helped with recommendations on the menu. Left feeling very happy and me and my husband will definitely be coming back!

First time at M&C, went with the hubby (it’s our 5 year anniversary). had an amazing experience, made wonderful by Karolina who was so friendly and attentive. Will definitely be coming back here! I recommend the onion loaf side!

Great welcome with good ambiance. Attentive staff and lovely food.

Absolute fabulous meal on Monday 13th October. Looked after by Di was excellent also.Know where better to have a meal ,much more upmarket than a pub

Perfect from start to finish, food was hot, tasty and well cooked. Our waitress Heather was very helpful and informative .

Overall food was good apart from the roast sharing platter which I found to be a very small portion for 2 people to share and the cost of £66.00 was extortionate

We visited for my wife’s birthday this evening. We had a large group and we had an exceptional time. Huge thanks to our waiter, Paul, who was absolutely brilliant. He was professional, accommodating and really had things under control. The food was excellent, as always, and the new beef shin which is available as a side was excellent. We really couldn’t have asked for much more. It wasn’t our first visit and it definitely will not be the last. The Sunday set menu had a decent selection of items to choose from - I had the calamari, 8oz rib eye steak and the Lemon Tart for dessert. All perfectly cooked, and I loved the ‘brulee’ crispy top on the lemon tart. Thanks again M&C. We are very happy customers once more.

We had a lovely meal here. Staff were very attentive and fast at serving. We had a poor experience a year or so ago, so was good to see things have improved. Steaks were cooked perfectly and everything else very tasty. Just a bit pricey. £100 for two to dine.

Our waitress was saffron what an amazing asset you have in her was absolutely brilliant with our group of 17 blokes could not of asked for a better waitres gold star just for her

Nice place. I had heard good things about it, so I was looking forward to going. Staff friendly, we was seated straight away, nearly 10 min passed before anyone came to see us. Asked if we wanted drinks, we did so we ordered drinks and the food we wanted at the same time. Also asked for a bottle of tap water. Starters arrived after about 15 minutes, whilst eating mine a little went done the wrong way and I was coughing, I wanted and needed a drink but nothing had arrived. My partner went to the bar to get me some water and was informed they would bring it over, not much help to me. Finally the water did arrive and before we could ask for our drinks they had walked off. When our plates were cleared, I asked about the drinks, I'll bring them over was the reply. Over 20 minutes for a glass of wine and beer, which I had seen sitting on the bar for over 10 minutes. The main arrived 50 minutes after ordering and we ordered some more drinks, we should have know better. We were halfway through the main and had to ask again for our drinks to be brought over. The main was wonderful, the staff all very polite. So it would have been a nice experience if not for the time we had to wait for everything. Only at the end was we asked if everything was alright. We just wanted to leave. If you haven't got enough staff, don't let the tables be booked.

Food was outstanding and so where the staff absolutely brilliant will be back again

We had Diane as our server and she was so lovely and made us feel right at home! Food was very quick and all amazing. Would definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed dining here for the 1st time as we were staying nearby for a truck show (Swedefest) and I honestly can't fault anything, food and staff were fantastic! It's just a massive shame that coming from Norfolk, this is the closest Miller & Carter to us 😔 but again 5* and if out towards Ipswich again, we will definitely be returning! Thanks guys 😊

Came in for lunch Yesterday, food was lovely and our Waitress Corissa was great and clearly very knowledgeable about the menu. Will definitely return

Great food , super efficient service with a smile .

Staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was cosy and clean. Service was quick and comfortable.

The lady that served us was brilliant, so friendly, let us know what was unavailable on the menu and apologised. The food was delicious. Fillet steak so tender. Sticky chicken on starters is a must. Cocktails were so tasty but there really needs to be a better deal for cocktails! Overall we were both really happy with our visit, however there were about 5+ things that were unavailable on the menu which were all popular so that was a bit disappointing.

Absolutely fantastic service especially Saffron she’s a star, always cheerful and polite. Plus delicious food always cooked to perfection! Thanks Ian & Lynn

Impeccable service and sumptuous food (lobster tail and fillet steak - highly recommended).

Served by a very happy and efficient waitress. Named SAFFRAN. All perfect . Saffron made our day. Lovely smile too. Thank you Saffran we will return.

Unbelievable service on two visits ! Saffron especially great on her service and care skills !

Lovely meal, perfectly cooked as requested. Hostess made sure we were happy with everything and if there was anything else we needed.

I visit my local restaurant every Saturday. Di is my waitress and she makes me feel welcome. The food is excellent

Saffron was awesome and the food was lush

The service was excellent both being greeted at the door and the table service. Very attentive making sure we received exactly what was ordered

great service really friendly and very delicious food thank you !

Staff really friendly, food was amazing!

Georgia was an excellent waitress.

Thank you for great service Saffron ☺️ & food was 👌🏼

Fantastic meal and great service from Paul. Really impressed with his entire customer service, very helpful and overall fab!! Thankyou very much Paul.

Went there tonight as a birthday meal for my son and the food and service were excellent. Alice our server was lovely.

The food was so lovely, and staff pleasant and helpful. Georgia especially. Will defo go back.

Tonight we came back with a little hesitation as on the last occasion our steak had not been the best . But our meal tonight was simply lovely, chateaubriand to share and it was well worth it although being big people with big appetites we could have done one each. Saffron was our waitress and how lovely that she remembered us from our last visit which was some time ago. She is like a breath of fresh air, always friendly, welcoming and really helpful. I would happily come back just to see her. Somehow she makes a fairly crap day into a good one. Very happy customer 👍 especially being gluten free. Check out the banoffee pie it’s one of the best gluten free options I have had .

Actually somewhere that knows how to grill a steak

Great food as usual, excellent service Georgia was very attentive and friendly. Didn’t put a foot wrong all night

Nice food, calm atmosphere, great service from Karolina, was brilliant with allergies as well as being generally all round positive

Great, attentive waitress. Kay was lovely and looked after us.

Attended as family and two couples We all had the 3 course meal deal, it was all cooked superbly and was piping hot, we had Kay as our server She was very nice and attentive we have no complaints about the food at all The steaks were so tasty and cooked exactly how we asked for them to be Thanks to all

Lovely steaks perfectly cooked to order. A particular shout out to our server Alice who made the evening even more pleasant.

My girlfriend and I have been here a few times and wow we are blown away every time, the service is incredible and the food tastes exquisite, personally my favourite is the sirloin with the grilled lobster. Kay was brilliant and really attentive, keep it up guys!

Excellent food, sensible portion sizes of impeccable quality. I had the 50day aged sirloin followed by the apple pie and custard, washed down with a shiraz 😋

Excellent service from Kay in Ipswich branch made it an amazing experience. Food was great, one of the best burgers I’ve had. Cannot recommend enough.

Phenomenal food and service, Our server Kay went above and beyond.

Delicious food, friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommend. Fillet steak was 👌🏻

The food and service was excellent as always from Claire and the team. Saffron who looked after us provided excellent service through the meal. Thanks!

Arrived 7.0pm for dinner. Main course did not arrive until 8.30pm. My ribeye steak which was 32.50 contained about 50% fat. One would expect quality produce for that amount of money. Have not eaten hear lately but will not be in a hurry to return.

Saffron is a very pleasant and helpful waitress. She possess excellent front of house skills which are a great asset to your business. Our food was excellent. Bravo Miller and Carter.

Really good service with amazing food! Alice was very attentive and provided a lovely experience.

First time visit for my birthday. One of the best steaks I've ever had! (Update: Went back Sept 2024 for another birthday...still fantastic and Corissa was one of the nicest servers I've ever met making us feel so welcome! Think this might be the new birthday routine!!)

Had a wonderful time and our server Kay was excellent very friendly and helpful! Would highly recommend!

Great service from Katie and a very enjoyable meal.

Great service from Evie, with fab recommendations, thank you!

An excellent experience at M&C, capably looked after by our server Evie. She was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, and fully met our requests for “no this, extra that…” modifications to the menu. Good food; not cheap, but good quality seldom is these days, and we certainly received good value for both quality and quantity here. A thoroughly enjoyable evening meal thank you.

Saffrons the best always ask for her and great food

Katie was a wonderful server I’m from the US and her service, attitude and smile was the best I have experienced. I will come back to bring my colleague when he arrives from the US. I will definitely want Katie as my server again. The food was awesome and tasty a 10 out of 10

Excellent hospitality today from Saffron. Great customer service and very warm and welcoming.

We had a lovely lunchtime experience today. Our steak was perfect. We had outstanding service from Saffron. We will be back very soon

Lovely surrounding. Delicious food. some good options for vegetarians. I would recommend to make reservation if you are coming pack time. Car park on a site.

First visit to the restaurant and my wife and I thoroughly enjoy every moment the staff where friendly and very professional and the food (steak) was amazing.. best meal and experience we’ve had in a long time.. thank you.

Food was excellent and service from Saffron was great!

Not the experience we wanted, as a couple we were sat next to a family of 10+ with young kids being kids. Maybe a thought to were you sit couples and families. Food left a lot to be desired. Lack of seasoning on starters and steak not that great considering it was one of the signature sharing dishes for £66.

Lovely meal for our anniversary, Saffron was very attentive to our table and was delightful with our 7 month old baby. Always have an enjoyable meal and good service.

Had a lovely evening here for a date night with my wife the food was fantastic.the start we shared was amazing (Sticky chipotle chicken) our main course was so good this steak that I had was just cooked just right for me The desert was so good. The waitress was fantastic corissa

We were greeted warmly, shown to our table with no delay. Our server gave us a couple of minutes to settle then asked us for our drinks order which came promptly. She took our food order, the starters came and then the main courses. Everything was just right! One small observation, our gift card had a time limit on it. We feel these cards should not have any limit on them, what difference does it make? It has already been purchased!

This was our worst-ever visit to Miller & Carter. The waitress was overbearing and very difficult to understand, we were seated in an area where a party of 12 were also seated (This happened also on our previous visit) we could hardly hear ourselves talk and to be honest gave up in the end and we sat there in silence. Bearing in mind that in the section there was just 2 tables of 2 persons we could not understand why we were seated next to a party table, other people also in the same area were complaining. The starter arrived within minutes and was dried up where it had been sitting under a heat lamp, the main course arrived and the plates were so hot (Not warned by the waitress) that my burger bun base was solid, and the chips were overcooked. Not a good experience and we would now think twice before booking again. Very annoying that once you have the bill within seconds the waitress is standing at the table with a card machine and also annoying to have a "Service" charge on the machine this should be left to the customer's discretion if they want to leave a tip or not it should not be an option. We have deliberately stopped paying by card for this reason

We ordered our drinks virtually as soon as we sat down but had to wait a long time before they arrived. We both had Prawn Cocktail as a starter, it was bland and tasteless with gritty lettuce. Massive plate with a tiny bowl in the middle with very little in it. There was supposed to be avocado in it but god knows where it was hiding. Very little sauce and no paprika. The waitress didn't even ask us if everything was ok. The main arrived and my partners Lamb was as tough as old boots. The Dauphinoise potatoes were awful, over done and a solid lump. I was supposed to have pepper corn sauce but got something else, didn't complain as it was quite tasty. My onion loaf was really over done. They didn't charge us for the Lamb but that isn't the point as it ruined our dinner and experience. We only live across the road and this place is going downhill rapidly.

Terrible! Steak was a very poor quality, tough and chewy and not cooked as requested! Terrible when you think it’s a specialty steak restaurant!!

A nice restaurant with lots of options, feels like a more sophisticated version of a harvester. I had the dirty burger which was delicious and my friends had the fillet steak which they enjoyed. The service was below par though as the waitress paid very little attention and was clattering the plates around as if she was having a bad day. Appreciate she must have been really busy but as the old saying goes, service with a smile - it goes a long way.

My Sticky Chipotle chicken came to the table and it was stone cold. Our server Taylor, who was super helpful throughout our meal, dealt with the situation very well and replaced it. Not sure how cold food managed to get over the Pass, so some questions for the team?

Had a takeaway for the family tonight, great as usual

Ryan the bartender always made me feel at home and was very attentive. Great guy great place. The food is amazing. Try the 16 oz ribeye medium rare.

Possibly the best steak I've ever had. So soft and delicious, cooked exactly how I asked, and no fat or gristle left over. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommended A+++

Bethany the bartender always made me feel at home and was very attentive. Great guy great place. The food is amazing. Try the 16 oz ribeye medium rare.

Delicious food, great atmosphere, very friendly attentive staff. Only negative I couldn’t have a hot drink as no decaf tea.

I was only disappointed with the Lobster I ordered for £10.75 was very small and had no taste not impressed with it at all

Server made the visit, she was funny and knowledgeable.

Nice decor, quite a busy evening with a waitress flying here and there! My medium ribeye was a bit overcooked but still very tasty. The strawberry fields was delicious. Dessert was yummy too and we had a singing waitress who was very nice x

Our first visit to this restaurant. We were very impressed with the food, decor and especially our waitress, Taylor, who explained the menu and was extremely knowledgable and helpful. We will definitely come again.
