Good for business meals

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,

Just ok. When I made the reservation (weeks ahead of time) it listed lots of options for seating but no description of what the areas were. Not having been to this restaurant before, I selected no preference. We ended up being seated in a noisy, cold area which reminded me of a cafeteria. We asked to be moved but were told there were reservations for all the open tables. I realized later there were at least 2 other rooms that were much more pleasant and much nicer than for a special dinner out. Service was ok but we felt rushed. Food was just ok.

Everything at the table was delicious, and the value of the food, service, and ambience wildly outpaced the price. We are excited to find this spot as newbies in Chattanooga, and it will become a regular.

Great time had by entire party. Little noisy, but it was at the height of the lunch crowd. The wedge salad with blackened salmon was delicious. The Caesar salad with grilled chicken tenders looked amazing and the plate was clean at the end. The other person ordered the Public House Fried Chicken and the chicken was juicy and crunchy. Having unlimited cold water is a plus. Asked for lemon slices on the side and they were provided. Server was great and came back several times to check how we were doing.
