   We had reservations and we were sat immediately. However, with regards to service, it took over a half an hour to acknowledge us. By the time we were acknowledged, we were offered a free shot to which we declined. Then he offered to buy us a drink. Our food then took some time to come out. Once it arrived, the food was fine. When we were done and received our bill, we noticed the drink that he had offered us was on the bill. He tried to retract his earlier statement to which we then argued. Ultimately, we got the drink taken off, but really no other offers to give us a complementary meal or anything to make the experience better.

   It was a busy Sunday evening. The restaurant was pretty busy. Because it had been raining it was cold but there were portable heaters. All seating was in a covered patio. Judging by the name of the restaurant I thought we would be inside. Food options were good but nothing overwhelming except for the Strawberry shortcake biscuit desert! It was fabulous and we will return to this place again just for that.

   My husband and I wanted to make a reservation because it was Easter Sunday and didn’t want to have to wait. This place had good reviews, I thought it was weird I had to prepay for the buffet 25$ a person and an extra 10$ DEPOSIT, implying we would get the 10$ per person back. At least this is what we thought. We got there and were sat right away, waitress was very nice. We start digging in! The food was good especially for 25$ a person. My husband finishes his plate and I still have half my plate left. Someone comes over to close us out, we were there a total of 25 minutes. We were like okay? He said we can still enjoy the buffet but we felt rushed out, to only pay for a coffee because we prepaid? I told the guy checking us out we prepaid online, had no clue what I was talking about. The lady that was either the manager or the lady running the buffet came over and didn’t know what I was talking about. So I showed her through open table and my statement, that I was charged 70$. She says “Okay then you guys are good to go!” Still felt rushed but whatever I guess. Not even 2 minutes later she comes back over and says the buffet was actually 55$ a person and we owe her money, right after she said we were good to go? We just paid and left because we were so uncomfortable. We probably won’t be coming back which in unfortunate because my husband really likes the burgers here.

   So glad we found this gem of a place. The atmosphere was beautiful. The service and the staff were incredibly nice and amazing. The food was absolute heaven. Everything tasted amazing. The cocktails were really good. Would definitely come back here again, and cannot recommend enough.

   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.
