DISAPPOINTING TINY CHICKEN WINGS
I've been frequenting Millers Ale House for years and overall been pretty happy but the specials though, have been less than inceredible. For years I frequented their Prime Rib Thursdays and was very happy for the 12 oz. portion at (if I recall) $12.99. It was never the most tender but it was ok. Then they jumed the Special Price up to $22.99. The manager assured me that the rerason was that they changed over to a better quality of Prime Rib, until it wasn't. Just a money grab on a popular special. Now, if you see anyone ordering Prime Rib on Thursdays, or Sundays you're the lucky lotto winner. BAD CORPORATE MOVE! Now for the latest Money Grab! CHICKEN WINGS! yes, the lowly chicken wing. They used to used the Large Roaster Wings, but someone made the decision that the customer wouldn't notice now that the large plates that used to be full are now about half full with the tiny fryer wings. One week I actually thought they made a mistake and bought cornish game hen wings, they were so small. Even at the special price of $1 per large wing they are making out like bandits with 10 pc, per lb. Currently they pay less than $3 per lb. so their markup on a special price is a healthy (.30) 330%. Really? You're going to chase your loyal customer base across the street to Hurricane (with the large roaster wings) Wings restaurant for that? Customers notice when a plate that was full last week, is now 1/2 full this week. The only ones your kidding is yourselves. and I'm sure Hurricane is thankful. I mean, c'mon, Millers is a sports bar and what are sports bars known for? Beer and Wings! If i'm not there for the wings, I'm not there for the beer either and neither are my freinds or family too. I was actually hopeful! I was a customer every week and I hung in there week after week hoping it was just a supplier error. But it was not, so now I (and others) enjoy the the large chicken wings every week across the street at Hurricane Wings, for even a lower price ($11.88) price! You lost customers that were yours for years because of simple money grab moves. It's a special! Duh. Miller's now has the tiniest Chicken Wings anywhere by choice and what used to be a busy Wednesday is now just a sprinkling of customers. WE DO NOTICE!
