    I had high hopes for 1910 Public House, especially after a trusted friend raved about their…read moreexperience there. Unfortunately, my recent Sunday visit for a takeout order left me thoroughly disappointed, and nearly $50 lighter with very little to show for it. The Food: I ordered two items: the pimento cheese fritters and the shrimp and grits. The pimento cheese fritters were, in a word, average. They looked and tasted like standard fried cheese balls--nothing visually impressive, nothing exciting about the flavor, and at $16 (or $4 a piece), I expected something with a little more creativity or punch especially at entree pricing for an appetizer. It was just pimento cheese, deep fried. That's it. Just as literal as could be. The shrimp and grits was the bigger disappointment. At $26, I expected a hearty, well-portioned dish. What I got was four average-sized shrimp and barely any andouille sausage--and I mean barely. It was just one thin slice of smoked sausage, cut in half, and placed in the entire dish. That was it. The portion felt light the moment I picked up the bag, and once I got to my friend'd and opened it, that feeling was confirmed. I will say, as an avid Yelp user I did my homework before ordering. I looked through photos on their page and noticed that their Shrimp & Grits looked completely different across three separate photos. When I asked the staff about it when I arrived, they mentioned the menu rotates every twelve weeks, which is fine, but the inconsistency made it hard to know what I was actually ordering. Atmosphere: I didn't dine in, but from what I could see, the space seemed nice. It's located in a charming, up-and-coming part of Lilburn, and the staff I interacted with were friendly and pleasant. So there's that. Final Thoughts: This meal was definitely not worth $50. It wasn't worth the drive, and honestly, it wasn't worth the effort. The food was underwhelming, the portions were stingy for the price, and the value just wasn't there. My friend loved the place, so maybe they caught a good day, but based on my experience, I don't know if I'll personally be returning. If I'm being honest, if I wasn't so tired then and it wasn't as far as it was, I would've just driven back, returned the food, and gotten a refund.

My friend and I came in around lunch time on a Monday, little to no crowd. There is a back lot for parking or street parking in front. Our waiter Jessica (Shoutout!!) was so patient and gave 11/10 service. Thank you for the recommendations girl! We started with appetizers: Grit Fries & Crawfish Corn Chowder Soup -Fries were a very crispy outside, creamy inside and the dipping sauce was a slam dunk -Soup was very filling and had all the right flavors Main course: Breakfast Croissant (Gluten Free Bread) & Nashville Chicken Sandwich -Both very good and the fries were crispy, chicken was flavorful and not hot at all! Ended off with a berry cobbler that was so tasty! I left a new cobbler fan! Thank you Public House and I WILL be returning!

Fresh grown gardens surround the eatery where you can witness where your veggies are coming from :) Absolutely organic and the flavor says it all. I entered and the cozy old school music playing faintly in the background made me feel at home in "Ma Mas" kitchen and the place was OCD clean. Staff of older experts warmly greeted me which one turned out to be "Chef K" herself from the food network #Surprised me :) We went over the well prepared Menu as the place filled instantly as I sat down. I was finally a happy camper in "Stone Mountain Village" food scene I had the fried green tomatoes and Salmon Crockets Made from scratch (OMG) NO canned salmon either culinary prepared from whole salmon Those flavors fermented in my mouth and I was a happy camper ate good Great to be totally be pleased with spending your money for great food prepared with LOVE!

Had it on my mind today for lunch so here I am It's very cold outside and it was very cold inside. I'm not sure if they're having issues with heating but it was a little uncomfortable. You seat yourself no hostess. I sat in my usual seat near the restroom. My server greeted me within 5 min of seating. I told her it's freezing and she agreed but didn't say why there was no heat, I proceeded to place the order bc I was on limited time. As I stated earlier I ordered the grilled chicken spinach sandwich with fries. It was delicious as always. It comes with spinach, cheese, smoked bacon, and tomatoes. Bread is fresh. Fries were popping hot There were 6 other guests there. 2 were seated at the bar. So it wasn't busy considering it was lunchtime. I did not have dessert. Had a Coke instead Parking is shared with other businesses in the plaza but there is additional parking in the rear. If you're looking for good food specifically Taverns, this is a good spot. They also have a location in Cumming.

Classic bar, well worn wood furnishings, walls collaged with miscellaneous mayhem. Divey. Craft beer ~ extensive list 50+ taps. Great selection of styles and where they are from. Fresh tastes and happy to offer samples. Food ~ great value. Everyone in our group of 10 enjoyed all that was ordered. Bar food yes, but large portions and a bit more attention to taste. Service ~ young gal was awesome, especially friendly and was on top of taking care of us from beginning to end. Maybe the best beer list in this area, personal friendly service, and tasty food. Divey delish.

I came in for BBQ but they didn't have any ribs or peach cobbler. I ordered the turkey wings which come over rice, Mac and cheese and cabbage. The rice wasn't seasoned at all. I understand they usually combine it with a meat or gravy but salt and butter makes a huge difference. I would definitely get it with some kind of gravy, which I thought would come with it, but it didnt. Turkey wings didn't have much seasoning. Would not recommend or I would recommend getting gravy with it. The mac and cheese, corn bread, and cabbage were all delicious! The cabbage leaves could have been cut smaller but they were cooked to perfection! The guy that took my order was sweet and he did tell me to come back the next day and they would have cobbler available. The restaurant has indoor seating and a covered patio. Parking is not an issue since the plaza it is located in is not busy at all. I would come back to try their other meats or get a veggie plate.
