    We've loved Public House for 15 years, and we are glad it's still around. Our cocktails are food were good, but the band was country and we were not expecting that at PH of all places. The noise from the awful country band was a disappointment. I would also like to respectfully ask that they bring back ranch dressing for their delicious fries. What was brought over to us as ranch, was delicious, but it was more like something I'd spread on a sandwich, than ranch dressing.

    Great drink selection and live music, food was a little dry, ask for extra sauce!

    My first time here and We had picked public house for brunch for my sisters baby shower, the vibe and ambience were perfect, the weather was great for outside seating. Taylor was our server, he was kind, patient, communicative and just all around a fabulous guy. Everyone ordered something different, and all of it was delicious. I ordered the short rib Benedict and licked the plate clean. Over all excellent experience and we will all definitely be back!

    Server was great, He was a busboy who got thrown into service. But we ended up leaving. 40 minutes and had to ask for water. Woefully unprepared for a Saturday night. Had friends in from out of town and left to go somewhere else. Just bad.

    Met a friend who was visiting from out of state for brunch. It’s been a few years since I went to Public House and the food and service were just as good as I remembered! Our waiter was great, super friendly, helpful and attentive!

    This restaurant is severely understaffed. We were sat at our table and waited 30 minutes (which was the case for several parties) before we had to go grab the attention of a busser who wasn’t even supposed to be working but was being held due to the lack of staff. There was an altercation at the bar. The food came out extremely fast and was barely warm which makes me think certain items were sitting out. Only reason this place is getting a fair rating is because of the busser and his quality of service after the issue was brought to his attention.

    We’ve been to Public House multiple times and this was the 2nd time in a row that the service was slow, and food mediocre. We probably won’t be back.
