Miller's BBQ Ravintola Hämeenlinna

There was a gaping hole in the Finnish fast food culture for BBQ, and Miller's BBQ was founded in 2021 to quench this thirst Miller's was founded with the same mentality that we smoke our products - long and slow without compromising quality. We smoked hundreds of pounds of meat, took a field trip to the BBQ mecca of Texas, and only opened our restaurant doors when we could truly stand behind our food. Come, taste, and tell us how we did.

FROM FINLAND WITH LOVE

Miller's BBQ is run by the entrepreneurial trio of Aki Kinnunen, Silvar Jänes and Antti Kemppi. Aki and Silvar have worked together for years in a kitchen cooking everything from fine dining to sandwiches. Antti is an experienced home cook and the father of the BBQ restaurant idea. Together, they set out to build a BBQ culture in Finland in a bold, big way, as is the Yankee way.

What is Miller’s BBQ?

At Miller’s BBQ, our meats are smoked in a traditional smoker for up to 20 hours. The slow cooking process and wood smoke create tender, juicy meat packed with rich, smoky flavor.

The original Miller’s BBQ opened in 2021 in the historic Kruununmylly. Dating back to 1866, the atmospheric building provides a unique setting for our slow-cooked food and also serves as a charming venue for celebrations and special occasions.

Following the popularity of the original restaurant, we opened a second location in Töölö, Helsinki, in fall 2026, bringing our BBQ to a central and easily accessible location in the heart of the city.
