    Hhhhhhomg, the sourdough. My favorite is the cheddar cheese curd sourdough. This is a real, longer…read moreferment sourdough with great stretch and delicious flavor and, most important of all, bothers my digestion less! We have driven up here from Ohio twice now, just for the bread! And even with all that, I managed to take zero pictures! It's a crime. This place deserves pictures. The breads, in particular, are gorgeous. We got sandwiches here once and they were both solid. We took them nextdoor to the park and had a delightful picnic. I tried to order the bacon cheddar grilled cheese, but they were out of bacon! I subbed turkey, asked for the mustard aioli (which it turned out was waaaaaay more mustard than aioli...maybe just straight mustard) on the side. I also asked them for a side of the fig spread they use on their brie sandwich and boy am I glad I did! It was great on this sandwich. The bread was their plain sourdough, which is predictably great. The Italian sandwich - this comes on the foccacia. This bites well, but it does not have any stretch to it. It's very soft, but also had a sort of grainy texture. It was a little messy from the Italian dressing, but otherwise it was a pretty decent cold cut sandwich. I might ask for it with a different bread in the future. Polish sausage pretzel dog - The polish sausage wasn't very flavorful, but it did the job. Would have liked more salt on the pretzel. Needed maybe a little longer in the oven, imo, but maybe that's so you can reheat at home without consequences. Took half of this one home to reheat and I can't say that went well, altho that's probably mostly on the toaster over we used, which was a hellbeast of inconsistent heatblasts. If you have more social machinery, ymmv on the reheating. Garlic cheese sticks - this is their light foccacia style bread, I think. It's pretty garlicky with a decent amount of cheese on it. We liked it but idk that we would get it again either. It was a decent little snack. We also got some coffees here, one iced mocha half sweet (it came possibly with whipped cream or cold foam on top, we couldn't tell which), and a Cafe Miel, hot. The mocha was solid, not too sweet, chocolatey & milky but the coffee taste still came thru. This would be way too sweet at full sweet, but half was great. The Miel was a nice blend of honey and cinnamon, but is also order that half sweet next time. It wasnt overwhelming, but I prefer my drinks less sweet. If that's you, too, also order everything half sweet here! They're very accommodating. Cakelettes in birthday cake and cookies & cream - I thought the cake on these were both really nice, great texture, moist. The chocolate one has a larger crumb and was more moist. The filling of the cookies & cream was outstanding. Basically crushed up oreos in whatever their buttercream is. The cake on this one was like a pie shell that they filled with icing, with an Oreo on top (which was soft from the refrigerated case). The birthday cake had more cake and less icing, more like a flat cupcake with icing on top. The flavor of the icing on that one was fine, but nothing special. My partner and I argued over whether the sprinkles made or ruined the experience, so just know that there are a decent amount of them on the edges of the icing and also lots baked into the cake itself and if you love em, great! If not...avoid. Staff recommendations were the Cherry Chip & Blueberry Lavender, but we tried neither on this trip. Funny enough, our favorite darn thing we've ever had here was a mistake item We came back here hoping to find them, but there were non, so we asked and learned the story of their Frankenstein birth! Apparently, when they make one of their regular menu items wrong, they have these leftover bits that they turn into Whoopie Pies. These are basically the cakelettes, but in a sandwich form. These hit me right in the childhood feels. A nostalgic flavor that sent me right back to my grandma's kitchen. Personally, I think they should be making this mistake full time and twice on Sundays. I would drive half an hour to relive my childhood flavor memories anytime.

    I used to genuinely enjoy supporting this bakery, which makes this disappointing to write…read more After learning more about how the tip jars are handled, I no longer feel comfortable spending money there. Like most customers, I assumed the tips placed in those jars were going directly to the employees working behind the counter and making drinks during busy rushes. Finding out that employees reportedly do not directly receive those tips feels misleading and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The staff always seem to work incredibly hard, especially during rushes, and customers tip because they want to support THEM. If tip money is being used differently, customers deserve transparency about that. For me personally, this -- combined with other experiences that made me feel unwelcome -- has changed how I view the business entirely. I'll be choosing to support other local businesses moving forward.

We were escorted to our table by our lovely host, and when we arrived at our table in the back of the restaurant, there was a cute "happy birthday" table card waiting for us. This was incredibly thoughtful and a nice touch for our celebration dinner. Also, I love how this restaurant is decorated - the art work, the furniture, and plants - all come together to create a welcoming, cozy, warm atmosphere for any dining experience. I also love how the menu continuously rotates and highlights fresh produce from local suppliers. We both ordered a different dish and shared, plus we had some leftovers, so the portions are very generous. We also tried some of the oysters with vinaigrette they were fresh and delicious. To conclude our dinner, we were gifted with a DELIGHTFUL banana pudding with a scoop of ice cream and a candle to make a wish (though our wish for a wonderful meal and dining experience was throughly satisfied already ) Thanks again for a great time bellflower!

    Fantastic meals and outstanding service! The ambience was very welcoming. We were two couples and…read moreshared the starters - plenty for four people. The salad was fresh and well dressed - simple but good. The second starter was sardine tin. Very very good. Not overly fishy and the garnishes served with it were perfect. For mains which are enough to share, one was the trout! Absolutely well seasoned and crispy. It is served whole and butterflied. We changed the side to the house vegetable. OMG these sautéed garden veggies were the best! The other main was a Japanese curry dish. Here is why the five starting dropped to a four. It was just ok. We would not order again. For dessert we had the bread pudding- another star for the night! To the owner, terrific staff. Everyone we engaged in, were positive and knowledgeable. They are a great team! Looking forward to a second visit!

When I asked the staff for their preferences, the overwhelming majority chose The Public House--many of us dine here regularly and genuinely enjoy both the food and the welcoming atmosphere. As the department cardholder, I coordinated directly with the owner to place 34 individual lunch orders. He made the process incredibly easy by allowing me to send one organized list with each employee's name and their chosen meal. I'll admit, I felt a wave of anxiety taking on such a large, detailed order; I worried something might get mixed up and that I'd end up facing complaints. I'm happy to share that my worries were completely unfounded. The owner and his team went above and beyond to ensure every single order was prepared accurately and on time. Not only was everything perfect, but the staff absolutely loved their meals...there wasn't a single complaint. What impressed me even more was that the owner personally delivered all 34 orders himself. That level of dedication and customer service is truly rare, and it meant so much to all of us. The Public House exceeded our expectations in every possible way, and I can't thank them enough for helping make a long meeting day run so smoothly. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at The Public House who assisted in ensuring every order was perfect...you are all genuinely appreciated!

The minute we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted by the friendliest folks who showed us to our table. Side Note- The University of Michigan was playing and the restaurant was slammed- but the staff never skipped a beat. The minute Alexis, our waitress, came to our table she was friendly, kind, and super helpful with recommendations and explaining some of the items on the menu. We started with the deviled eggs as an appetizer (pictured)- they may have lasted 2 minutes- because they were so delicious. In the end, my wife decided on the Drunk Guy burger (burger with cheddar cheese, cream cheese, one onion ring, and topped with bourbon hickory sauce. It was cooked well done (as she asked) which was cooked to perfection! I chose the O'Hanna burger, which was a burger with Swiss cheese, bacon, pineapple, and a hickory sauce- cooked to perfection! We both chose the sweet potato tots with a marshmallow/Carmel dipping sauce....yup, you read that right- I could have eaten the sauce with a spoon. These 2 burgers were THE best burgers my wife and I have ever eaten. We were so impressed with the atmosphere, the staff, and the food. If it couldn't have gotten any better, they gave us a thank you card for stopping in. If you are within 100 miles of Dundee, MI- do yourself a favor and come to Social House 103 and try ANYTHING on the menu!!!
