Customer Reviews
I am a steak snob and I can honestly say Publyk House surprised me, in a good way. On top of serving a good steak, their staff is class A and the atmosphere is wonderful. Drinks are yum! And their bread and butter was a great addition to our meal.
Rare-to-find totally excellent salad bar here, which comes with all meals. Warm bread & maple butter delivered to our table too. Some gluten-free bread and pasta substitutions can be made. Hot Vegan options are limited, but they have a black bean burger with fries. There are also baked potatoes (ask for plain, without the dairy of course). We successfully ordered the fettuccine pasta with spinach, mushroom, & roasted tomato dish. (Requested without the usual cream sauce, but with olive oil & garlic instead.) It was excellently done to suit our needs! We'll be back ;)
We've ordered prime rib several times over the last few years here and we should have learned that the public house does not do well in preparing it. Recently we came with friends. Three of us ordered prime rib and each of us found the meat to be tough and flavorless as it had been in our past visits. We couldnt eat it. Pasta here is very good as well as other menu items. Just don't do the rib. Service is great. Our server was understanding and helped mediate the situation.
The property grounds are nice. It's rustic but still clean and not cluttered. My husband had the Stone Kitchen Pasta with Shrimp ($36). I had the meatloaf ($26). As you can see, that's overpriced but all entrees have the salad bar included. The salad bar was great and helped make it worthwhile. If the owner is reading this, continue to have the salad bar and don't skimp on it in the future to save money. I'll make the drive again for it. A loaf of hot bread came out and while I loved the idea of maple butter, the recipe could be tweaked; I thought it was too sweet and not creamy enough. We only drank water, did not get an appetizer, and it was still not cheap. But everything was good so we'll go back. Lastly, we chose to eat inside the dining room but it was nice outside and the patio
First time here. Recommend getting reservations as the restaurant fills up quickly. Salad bar had plenty of choices and the lettuce selections as well as spinach was fresh. Loaf of warm bread with butter brought to table and pleasantly surprised how tasty it was. Saved some to dip in gravy from entree. Had the artichoke dip for an appetizer. Came covered with a layer of melted cheese which I tried but ended up pushing to the side because the dip was so tasty on the toasted bread it came with. Had the lobster bisque which had a strong lobster flavor and thick consistency but if you were expecting pieces of lobster you would not find any. The entrees were the meatloaf which is on the regular menu and a nightly special of pot roast. Come hungry because the meatloaf was huge. Meat tender and g
