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

    Went for a lunch. Excellent service and great ambiance. The bread and “butter” is worth the price of admission alone. Started with the crab did. Wouldn’t get this one again. Bit salty and just not overall that great. We got the chicken tenders and burger which were both delicious. Burger will 100% order again. Fries and broccoli were the sides and both great. Very good honey mustard. Lextonian salad is like a BLT in a bowl and great. It’s bottomless but the first portion is large enough can’t imagine too many go back for more! It was a birthday and we got the cookie. Also amazing- pro tip- the center is the best part! Had enough to bring home a full meal to a grateful spouse . Service was 10/10 And we will be back.

    This was very good experience for us. We loved the Emerald cocktail, for it was very refreshing. The prickly pear was not so good on this time. We have dined at this restaurant for 4 times in the last two months. This is my wife's favorite restaurant in Knoxville.
