About the restaurant

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,

About the restaurant

After the growth and love we felt in our Senoia location, we knew it was time to expand.

Our passion for creating special moments has adopted a passion for taking old iconic buildings and turning them into one of a kind, unique places to create those moments in.

Chattanooga is no exception. We've taken this space at the Choo Choo and kept it as authentic as we could while adding our Nic & Norman's story throughout.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

We love this restaurant! It’s one of our absolute favorites in Chattanooga. We haven’t had a bad dish. However, we were very upset to leave and find a parking ticket on our window. We met another couple for dinner and they didn’t have one. Neither one of us knew that we had to pay parking in order to eat here. $80 meal, $20 tip, and $40 ticket to park is unreal.

We were pleasantly surprised. As Chattanoogans we have so many outstanding restaurants to choose from. We will definitely go back. The space is very cozy and inviting. We tried 3 cocktails and they all were very good, the short rib pappardelle was very good. I had salmon, that was done perfectly . The service was exceptional. Jodi took excellent care of us.
