Visited Beach Box twice in April 2026 both times on a Sunday. First visit:. Atmosphere: Chilled. Food: Limited brunch menu but tasty. Staff: Allison GREAT Johnny Laid back. Second visit:. Atmosphere: Bar area CROWDED (11 people). Food: Didn’t know this but everything is pre-cooked then microwaved other than the boiled hot dogs. First time it came to the table hot because the crowd was 4 people at bar + our table of two. Second time everything for our table of three came to the table COLD , bar at 11 people. Staff: Alex Overwhelmed & not attentive and Johnny still laidback. This could be a cool lakeside bar and/or locals hangout, but capacity is only about Bar stools-11/Booth-Table seating-20-ish~approximately 30 people. Tiny’s just south on Lake Street has 5x’s the capacity and the food is cooked in a kitchen not in a microwave. Suggestion: be a COOL BAR, drop the dining booths and put in high tables. Ordered both beef hot dogs & vegan carrot hotdogs . I know it’s a new eatery, so I’ll give it another try, but if it doesn’t serve kitchen cooked hot food, I’ll be on a barstool hoping the bartender Johnny serves laid back drinks like his demeanor. Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Brunch Price per person: $10–20 Recommendation for vegetarians: Would not recommend Vegetarian offerings: Clearly labeled vegetarian dishes Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options: Free street parking Parking: About 5 parking spots in front of the establishment.

Thanks for the feedback. We would have loved to have had the opportunity to address your concerns when we had the efficacy to do so. It’s not protocol around here to serve cold food or food that gives people barf-face emoji feelings, and we would have been pleased to have been able to do something about it. In fact, that is protocol around here: rectify the situation. It’s in our handbook. Since we’re on to protocol already, none of our food is pre-cooked and then microwaved. Our food is all pre-cooked and kept in a steam tray. We use the microwave to cook some of the lesser-demanded items that would spoil if pre-cooked and stored for a long time, like the Vegan Carrot Chicago Dog, a bbq micro poached carrot on poppy seed bun with Chicago green relish, dill pickle spear, tomato, sport peppers, onion, mustard and a shake of celery salt.. Perhaps your emoji explains why those babies aren’t just flying out the door and we have to cook them a la minute. Also, our 100% all-beef natural-casing hot dogs from National Coney Company in Detroit are not boiled. They are steamed and kept in a steam tray. The rice is cooked and stored in a rice cooker. We have a 48” kitchen with no hood. We don’t have a fryer, a flat top, a grill or even a waffle iron. So, we’re not quite sure what sort of kitchen qualifies for kitchen-cooked, but if it isn’t something that can be pre-cooked and stored in a steam tray, like our amazing Chicken and Andouille Sausage Gumbo and out-of-this world Vegan Red Beans and Rice (add a link of andouille, if you’re not vegan), then you would be better going down the street to Tiny’s. In fact, we highly recommend Tiny’s for great kitchen-cooked food, and lots of tables. And a killer espresso martini - have Emma make it. It’s magic. She uses unicorn dust, we’re pretty sure.As for the point of your second stanza, it’s moot. We are. The booths, by the way, welcome sitters of all kinds, not just diners. In conclusion, we regret that you had a less than stellar experience and that we were unable to put it right before you left feeling the need to use derogatory emojis to describe what Miller Beach has been calling the single most delicious vegan chicago dog made from a cajun bbq spiced microwave carrot in the history of the Indiana Dunes. Please, whenever you are in the mood for extraordinary pre-cooked food that has been stored in a steam tray, like our Cadillac of Chilis, a hearty portion of our delicious chili con carne with beans, fancy shredded cheese and freshly diced onion, swing on by, sit at the bar, grab a bite and Johnny will make you the laid backiest drink you have ever had. Probably. Have you ever had a Krushian?

Such a cool and cozy little spot that anyone could appreciate. It is located just a short walk to the beach, has a full bar (with drinks to go) and varied menu: everything from Chicago hot dogs to New Orleans styled dishes. This place is quaint and "very midwest", blending styles from Chicago and Detroit to Ohio and beyond. The owners are super cool and obviously have a lot of experience in the food service industry. Check it out! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Beach Box is hands-down the heart of the Miller Beach scene. Alli and Johnny have built an incredibly laid-back, "backyard party" vibe that’s exactly what you want after a day on the lake. The drink list is a perfect balance of craft cocktails and nostalgic cans like Hamm’s, but the real sleeper hit is the food—the Spicy Slaw Dog and Chicken and Sausage Gumbo are absolute must-tries for some Bayou-inspired comfort. It’s unpretentious, welcoming, and easily the best hang in Miller Beach. Five stars, no contest. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
