Miller & Carter Steakhouse in Suffolk Coastal

Saw a cockroach by kitchen, food pink in middle

We visited Miller and Carter Ipswich for Mothers Day. Saffron was our server and was absolutely fantastic! She approached our table with a huge smile, was super friendly and attentive throughout our visit and made some great food recommendations for some of us fussy eaters and she got it spot on! Please pass on our thanks to Saffron, she really was fab! Great food and lovely atmosphere and a lovely little gesture of a mother's day card on the table too! Will definitely be returning soon!

The food was delicious.. the service was excellent ..it was a lovely Mother’s Day gift from son and daughter in law..,

Came here for Mother’s Day lunch. We had a lovely time the food was excellent and cooked to perfection. Our server today was Heather, she was very attentive and was really patient with our 7 year old who insisted on ordering for him self and read the whole description out of his chosen dishes. Heather had a smile on her even with how busy the restaurant was. Well done to the whole team for making today lovely for us.

Really nice Mother’s Day dinner. Great food and well looked after. 5* Paulo and Corey were extra attentive and made sure we had a great meal even making meal adjustments for my wife who is dairy free

My husband and myself took mum out for dinner and we had a lovely meal and a nice time brilliant atmosphere and would be back again

excellent food, amazing service from the lovely Heather, we will definitely be back! ☺️

Amazing service from Alma.. she's wonderful. Food stunning. Steak was on a higher level then best restaurants in cambridge and London and at a fraction of the price

Henry was our server at the Ipswich branch and couldnt do enough for us! He was very accommodating. The food was lovely and no complaints! thank you Henry for your welcoming presence and great service

We were served by HENRY who was such a delightful waiter. He was so attentive and very polite. I think he deserves a pay rise. If only all waiting staff are as friendly and polite as he is, people will keep coming back to these establishments .

Amazing Sunday lunch great service.

Nice restaurant, seats are comfortable and the tables are nicely spaced out. Food is absolutely delicious, I definitely recommend getting the T-bone steak, the service was a bit slow but they were friendly and polite.

Went on the 21st of march 2025 it was quite packed so my critique for this visit may be due to the busyness as they are normally really good, but when i went on the 21st i ordered a medium rare steak and ended up getting one that was rare, but the server was quick to act after we said it but other than that every thing else was good would recommend if you go when it is not busy.

Our server was georgier she was very helpful polite and her customer skill was brilliant food was perfect

Saffron was fantastic, excellent and superb . Great customer service and veg friendly. Would recommend

Only word is SAFFRON. If you don’t get her im sorry - if you do congratulations 🥳 🥂

First class service from Georgia as ever

Rosie was amazing from start to finish, she looked after us the whole night!

Gorgeous food, catering to our tables allergies brilliantly. Georgia was very attentive and a wonderful waitress also.

Birthday treat for our 15 year old. 2 x Calamari & 1 x pork belly to start, then 2 x 50 day old rib eyes plus 1 x fillet with all the trimmings! Everything was delicious. Steaks were on point, juicy, well seasoned and very tender so did not disappoint. Our server Henry was excellent, professional, helpful and good humoured! Full marks all round!

Quick little lunch date, Food was amazing and service was top notch by Karolima very attentive and fast service. Would highly recommend the steak sandwich for lunch.

Karolina was our server, she was amazing! Great food and fantastic service. Thank you!

Lovely food and evening with friends , Corissa was a friendly, attentive waitress

Had a good time here. The food was good and the waitress was excellent.

Excellent service from Karolina , and great food

We were served by karolina and she was very lovely and service was 10/10. Definitely would come again!

The steak and lobster was lovely & Henry was very sweet and attentive :)

Heather was great looking after us tonight! Fabulous meal!

Henry was a great server to our party of 4. Was keen to detail and immaculate service.

Food was great and affordable , Henry made our experience smooth , lovely and great service !

Not cheap BUT extremely tasty food. Well presented. Served by Heather, she was very welcoming, helpful and efficient. Would go again.

Attended Monday night for a birthday celebration and was served by Georgia who was pleasant, happy and very helpful Food was served hot and plentiful Cocktails made by Kian were lovely Another enjoyable meal

Gone very much downhill sadly, massively let down by a young tall lad who was cocky, rude and just thought he knew it all when in fact was totally clueless about drinks and food, needs retraining in what hospitality is about and making the customers feel comfortable relaxed and wanting to return, also to keep his luctose intolerance to himself- no one cares to know! Food wasn’t great but eatable,

Kasia who served me at Miller and Cartier was amazing. She was so friendly and made the whole experience feel extra special. The restaurant had a really cosy and welcoming vibe, and the food was fantastic—fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. I’d definitely recommend this place for both the great service and delicious food!

Great food, Great atmosphere, perfect place to celebrate another wedding anniversary, steak was just as described . We had very nice and professional service, Thank you and thank you Ms Kasia. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Waitress excellent as usual. Saffron she so deserves a award. Always a happy lady, excellent with customers nothing never to much trouble for her,

Saffron was superb tonight. Made us feel very welcome and a great attitude. Will definitely come back again. Steaks were beautifully cooked

Served by Saffron, she was incredible friendly and made us feel so welcome. She was rushed off her feet all night but nothing was too much for her and she checked in with us and got us everything we needed. Definitely one of our best experiences at Miller and Carter and we’ve been coming for years. Thanks Saffron for giving us a wonderful evening. Food cooked to perfection and great timings between courses and taking orders.

My nephew arranged a booking for a family 60th birthday meal. The service & food was impeccable. I asked for a well done rump steak, it was succulent and very enjoyable.the Lettuce wedge was a very nice surprise. Best meal so far I've had in Ipswich

Great steak and fantastic service! Had a great family meal for my dad's 60th birthday. Accommodated our party of 8 with only a days notice

My daughter and son-in-law brought me here for my birthday. Our server, Kay, was lovely and very helpful. We all ordered the Miller Dirty Burger, which was delicious. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the prices were reasonable. We will definitely be back.

Food was cold and poor quality. Ruined a special birthday meal out. Desert was the best bit. Would not return unfortunately.

Had a lovely evening with my husband, had a nice and relaxed time, wonderful food and even better service from Karolimo. She was very chatty and gave great recommendations on the food.

Great service from Saffron, excellent food as always

Went for a great one on one lunch date, and Adam provided excellent service and made me feel welcome

Georgia’s service was excellent and the food was amazing as usual. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing service and fantastic food. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves for a family members birthday treat. Sunday sharing board was incredible. Karolina was extremely friendly and accommodating throughout our meal

If you force tip on your customers by pressing the tip yes button before giving the machine, you are automatically losing all sympathy. Tip was going to be given anyway, but you presented it without a choice, which is simply dirty business handling. This truly spoiled our otherwise pleasant dining experience. We will no longer be coming to Miller & Carter as we refuse to take part in forced tipping practices.

Superb food and excellent service. Highly recommended.

Fab food and great service from Katie, who was friendly , polite and kind . Thank you !

Always a top choice for dinner and a lovely place with great staff 😀

Alma was amazing on my leaving meal! Great food and service all evening!

Great friendly service by Karolina. Food lovely too

Been here before was looking forward to it,but not the meal I had hoped for ,maybe just a blip ,but will go back in again to be fair,service was very good though our server was so lovely and professional, so our tip was for the service

Better range of foods than in the past. Of course it's a Steakhouse but lovely to have other options. Nice couple of fish dishes and a meat free burger is available but could offer a little more for members of parties that are vegetarian.

Went for a meal , asked for a table tucked out the way . Was a real nice setting , good lighting , good atmosphere , good service with a quirky waitress who made us both laugh .... more importantly great food. Cheers

Good food for our visit, however we felt rushed through. In and out the door in less than an hour!

Myself and partner came for a much needed date night, food was delicious. Our server Henry was very attentive, really lovely, great humour and overall was just amazing! Thank you!

We went for the Thursday Date Night Set Menu, and it really didn’t disappoint! Our waitress was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, our food was cooked to perfection and everything was prepared and served at a decent speed - we weren’t waiting excessively between courses, but it didn’t feel rushed either.

Karolina was a fantastic hostess; really kind, enthusiastic and attentive. The meal was delicious; thank you for making our date night so lovely!

Been here before was great. Visited Sunday, didn't get told of the Sunday option so only found out when we moved some stuff and the menu was there. Food ok. Some was very cold so they offered a dessert as apology but for what you pay I was disappointed.

Lovely meal as usual, Katie our server was polite and helpful

Terrible service, took 20 minutes to get our first drink, whole staff having lunch break 3 meters from our table, being loud, swearing, laughing, joking, drinking monster, IN the restaurant, NEXT to my table.

We visited for Sunday lunch, it was clearly very busy but the staff were lovely and attentive, food and drinks came quickly given how busy it was and we will absolutely come back again

Thank you to Saffron who served us tonight, we always enjoy the food when we visit but your amazing service really made our evening extra special. Great cocktails, food and atmosphere as always. Saffron really is a credit to the team, I hope she gets the recognition and praise she deserves!

My husband and I went for our 10th year anniversary meal at Miller & Carter yesterday evening (15/2) and as usual, it was perfect! We go to this restaurant regularly, including all special occasions and we’ve enjoyed it every time. This visit we had the butchers block and it amazing! Always get the best steaks here. Our server was Katie, she was attentive and polite and didn’t ever keep us waiting for long.

Paulo provided brilliant service, food was delish!

Great food , super efficient service with a smile . Always a joy .

Beat steak in town. Fast, freindly service, reasonably priced and dm absolutely delicious

We had such a fantastic meal and evening. Loved the food and service was incredible!!

It's was ok but not great or anything special. Eaten there before and it was great but this time it was just not right. Expensive for what you get that is nothing special. The onion loaf was served cold. Very cold so it's just fatty. Apologised and offered a fee dessert. But expensive for nothing really special.

Had lovely 3 course meal it was lovely good atmosphere in the restaurant and food was very good

Food was excellent, cooked to perfection. Mini desert and coffee a great idea after a large meal. Only small issue, our waiter was a bit distracted, forgot my salad and took ages to see us trying to attract his attention.

Our server this evening was Kay she was lovely a friendly and very helpful with my requirements.

Out waitress Alma provided impeccable service throughout the 9th birthday celebrations for my daughter on the night. With 15 guests to wait on, Alma couldn't have been any more helpful. Her patience, consideration and attentiveness should be highly commended. Five star service and amazing food as always. Thank you!

The service was very good. The food was okay

Had a lovely family meal. Set menu was excellent value especially mini dessert and coffee. Service was great. Not sure of her name might be Diane.

This is the best steakhouse, no doubt.

Lovely meal lovely food. Overall, lovely.

First time visiting a Miller & Carter and everything was fantastic, food was amazing and our waitress Saffron really was a credit to the company, exceptional service and energy from her! Thank you so much for making our evening special! 👍🌟

Saffron was the server of dreams! Food was delicious too.

Great food, amazing service by Katie and all around a lovely place to go, highly recommended! Really enjoyed the night.

Don't really eat stake so had half a roast chicken which was very bland and dry then got charged extra for swapping fries to chips and only got 3 pieces of broccoli for £22.95

Family reunion meal was enjoyed by all.

We had the butchers block as recommended by our fabulous waitress Karolina who helped us choose how it was cooked. Great food, great service!

The staff were friendly and efficient when serving food. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the whole meal was delicious. The other highlights for me were the spiced cauliflower wings and the onion loaf. My husband also really enjoyed the chipotle chicken starter. We were served by Paulo who was very professional and friendly but the team in general were very stretched, so we had to wait for our bottle of water and go to the bar to pay at the end. These were only minor issues, and we were overall very pleased with our visit.

Had a wonderful time tonight! With Alma as our server we felt that we were looked after and were offered superb service and care. ❤️

Disappointed that the 2025 menu is not as nice as 2024 menu. The set price has increased too.

me and my partner came here for a well needed date night and we really could not complain at all! we were welcomed in and sat at a lovely far area with the addition of being allocated an absolute diamond of a waitress named heather. throughout our time there it was evident of the high demand however she handled it with such a breeze! the periods of eating, the in betweens and check ins to make sure everything was to a good standard was well timed and we was continually greeted with a warm smile. our food was brilliant and well worth what the price was in quantity, quality and the sides which topped it off! after paying our bill and leaving , all staff that saw us said goodbye which was very kind. we thoroughly enjoyed our first time at this restaurant and will most definitely return!

Had a lovely lunch with friends’ And Saffran so helpful put us on the right track with how are steaks needed cooking,very helpful indeed

Great food, and drink. Good service

Visited today spontaneously after attending a funeral and must say that I wasn't feeling it when the wife suggested going for a meal but so glad we did. The food was faultless, the service was exceptional and our host Saffron, well what can we say about this extraordinary woman that hasn't already been said. She lifted our spirits with out even knowing it, great recommendations regarding the food and so full of joy and fully attentive throughout. You guys at Miller & Carter Ipswich, have got in my honest opinion (and I've dined all over the world) the best waitress in the business 👏

Great food, great cocktails. All for a reasonable price. Our server Heather was absolutely amazing. Her service made the evening. Will be returning.

I don't normally leave reviews but just wanted to mention our waitress Saffron. Saffron if you're reading this keep doing what your doing, hands down the best service ive ever had. I will teach my mate to to handle a knife and fork next time I promise.

We waited over an hour for our meals. Our daughter was late arriving but rang to let them know. We had 5 children who were very hungry. The waitress was lovely the food was good but very slow to get the food out.

Ambience was good, lovely and warm in temperature on a very cold day. Disabled parking space was good Meal choice good as always the music was too loud, we were trying to chat but all 4 of us found it intrusively loud. There are clearly tables with loudspeakers too close the waitress was helpful and made it easy for 2 of us to go for the set menu at lower price while the other two went a la carte, that culd have been awkward but she made it smooth and easy We disliked the plating arrangments for the scallops and the prawn cocktail. The salad was arranged on top of the meal, nicely arranged but we like to see what we ordered, plus one person with us has dementia and this is a known presentation problem for people with dementia, she couldnt see her scallops and this is a problem. I moved the salad leaves but she became anxious

Excellent amazing food great service highly recommend

First off I would like to say I am utterly disappointed with the service I have received and never have I ever been ignored and spoken to like I'm an inconvenience to someone like I did on my visit to Miller and carter. Where we first sat it was very noisy we asked Corissa our waitress if we could move away and she flat out said no you will have to deal with it and just walked off..... she was hardly about standing at some desk on her phone and picking her nose DISGUSTING...my friend we and asked if we could get another drink and she turned to him and said ill come to you when I'm free bearing in mind she was stood there at least 7 minutes on her phone the food came out cold and not very nice we didn't complain at the time just left as we felt we would get abuse from the waitres we will definitely not be returning and will be deterring other people also

This is good but I think overpriced

Fantastic, all seven off us celebrated our granddaughters 2nd birthday, was able to bring are own cake in and Evie are server was fabulous. Food was fantastic as usual, Evie are server was lovely and couldn’t do more for us. Miller and Carter is our go to as they never disappoint. Definitely recommend for family get togethers or a cosy meal for two.
