Several years ago, I decided that my future in the restaurant business would most likely not remain in the realm of fine dining and gourmands, but would rather lean towards the style of restaurant that I found myself frequenting most often - places that provided consistency and quality at a price that was fair for the quality of the food and experience. Public House plays to the comforts of good, solid food, while applying the principles of premium food products to a more casual setting. You will find all the fish is delivered from Foley’s in Boston, high quality steaks and a rotating selection of vegetable sides that are true to the region and season. You’ll also find a really good hamburger and fish sandwich, along with fun snacks and small plates that pair well with cocktails, beer and wine. Welcome,Nathan Lindley

From the moment we approached the host stand, the entire team went out of their way to make our anniversary celebration a special one. Our server Maddy was wonderful and Michael was an attentive table steward, making sure our water glasses stayed topped off. Complimentary desserts as an anniversary trrwas an unexpected treat was an unexpected and gracious touch. Our filets were perfectly prepared and the sides were delicious. In short, a perfect meal and perfect night. Thank you, Chattanooga team!

We arrived an hour early and were still given the opportunity to have a seat in the bar area which was not crowded and allowed the full menu. Had a newborn with us and had a wonderful dinner and amazing service. One of our favorite places to eat in Chattanooga!
