About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
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

The food is outstanding: always get the chicken livers (nicely fried juicy pieces over grits) and trout dip to start. Usual favorites are the shrimp and grits (my chef husband says it's one of the best compilations he's ever had) and the trout entree. Tried the steak frites this time - perfectly cooked temperature and tender with excellent shoe string fries. The cocktails (expertly made Paper Plane!) are a nice complement to our meals. Everyone welcomes our dog on the patio, and it is a delight to always get to catch up with Bradley. This time we were served by Amy, who was a delight to chat with. Every server/staff are warm and friendly; we feel like we are home at Public House. We also received a nice note for our date night, just because!

I was with my husband, our 3 children under 10 and my handicapped mother. There was a conference group in one of the large rooms, so they gave us our own private room and were so accommodating to our family. Would highly recommend this restaurant, as it was already one of our favorites in Chattanooga and tonight topped the list for best dining experience we have had since living here.
