  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
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

Fried chicken was perfection. Good burger, good mushroom burger, mahi was delicious. Yummy shoestring fries, tasty cocktails. Very loud environment which was expected with a name like Public House. Our server was very sweet and accommodating when attending to us. We were attended to immediately with drinks and appetizers. However, after placing our dinner orders, they kind of forgot about us. We waited so long that the room started to clear out before she came back. Other servers attended tables around us but moved fast and we couldn’t catch their attention to inquire about our server. Our drinks were empty, including the water bottle on our table. And our used appetizer plates sat in front of us during that whole time. They were only cleared away when our dinner was being served. We waited about 40 mins. between apps and dinner. Spent 20-30 mins eating/talking, then another 20 mins for the check and an additional 15 mins between her taking our credit card and coming back. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would come back, but this time could’ve been a little better.
