★★★★★ 5.0 NJ 4 Fun · Nov 2025

First time at Publik House and I was pleased with my experience! I went in a Thursday night and the spot was packed but I was seated without issues. Great vibes & friendly atmosphere. For dinner I ordered the burger with truffle fries, both good on flavors. Also ordered the brisket and this was a generous portion. It can be shared for sure! I’ll definitely dine here again!

In the Fall I went for brunch, sat outside, had a great meal with only a few other patrons present. So I decided to try out their dinner menu and was surprised how busy it was! Absolutely packed. Definitely recommend a reservation. We ordered 3 sides for $25 as an appetizer and they were fantastic: roasted carrots, cheddar and bacon fingerlings, and Gouda mac and cheese. They blew us away “if the sides are this good, imagine what the meal is going to be like.” We decided to play it safe and get traditional pub food: burger and fish & chips. Burger was great with imitation Big Mac sauce. However, fish and chips had undercooked batter and wasn’t good. Fish was watery. Don’t recommend ordering. But service was very attentive. Atmosphere was good.

★★★★★ 5.0 Daniel Fowler · Feb 2026

Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food which was top tier. It was all seasoned perfectly. The service was prompt and professional. The corn dip was obviously hand crafted with love, and not processed. Ambiance was appropriate for a dinner setting and I found the tables to be incredibly appropriate in their spacing. Great job Publick House!

★★★★★ 5.0 Manfry Martinez · Jun 2025

We found Publick House about five years ago after my wife saw an Instagram post of some fries that looked too good to pass up. We went once and got hooked. Ever since, this place has never disappointed. The service, the food, the drinks, everything is consistently excellent. The bar is impressive with a wide selection of spirits, rums, beers, and more. The burger is one of the best I have ever had and the duck dishes are full of flavor. During the summer they open the patio terrace and serve a variety of brunch plates and drinks. They also rotate the menu every few months which keeps things fresh and exciting. If you are anywhere near the area and want a reliable spot with amazing food and great vibes, Publick House is a must. I totally recommend it.

Just had dinner on Valentine’s Day. Solid food great cocktails. Friendly service. Portions are really super small though for entrees. Would have given 4 stars for food if not for this.
