    An historic vibe with delicious food and super friendly service. I worked here waaaay back when it was called the Geryville Publik House back then. My firend and I enjoyed the same flank steak salad but I also enjoyed a creme brulee, too

    Chicken Chesapeake. Good, but needed more seasoning and salt.

    Love the historic site--the front door being operated by a pulley was neat to see right away. The menu had a lot of great looking options and for the most part we were happy with our selections--a special herbed halibut with squash and rice, and the chicken chesapeake topped with lump crab. I would say that the quality of the meals was good but not great; I loved the huge asparagus and the fact that the hearty entrees also came with Caesar salads (a good value), but my chicken in particular was very bland and seemed mostly unseasoned. It was also just a tad overcooked. I would come back to try the desserts, as they do have an onsite pastry chef!

    Loved this place! Service was excellent. Menu had so many fabulous choices it was difficult to choose. All of our meals were excellent. Highly recommend this place. So sorry we live so far away we won't be able to return sooner!

    Fantastic night at Jamison Publick House. What a neat atmosphere. Very busy for a Tuesday night! Friendly service and delicious food! Paige was such a great server! She suggested the Spicy Margarita which was tasty and not too spicy - We chose the Burrata for appetizer with such great flavors and fresh made bread-swordfish special and the Chesapeake chicken. Fun way to celebrate a birthday! Will be back to try some of their pub fare.

    Baby Kale and Spinach Salad with Blackened Chicken , YUM!

    I was working in the area which is pretty far from where I live , so I am glad I got the chance to check this place out for lunch. Cool historical vibe was my immediate impression. I arrived when they were just dying down from lunch and prepping for the dinner rush. I received a warm and friendly welcome from the staff. I sat at the bar, chatted with the bartender about their unique house infused options. He was great ! Definitely a really good selection. For lunch, I got the Baby Kale + Spinach Salad with crumbled feta, balsamic red beets, and red onion. I added blackened chicken to it and their homemade caramelized sweet onion dressing..... Delicious! I will definitely make the trip back for dinner sometime. The menu options look great and have gotten great reviews as well.

    Mom's favorite- the brandy Alexander. Bobbie the bartender makes it perfectly.

    One of my parents' favorite restaurants, I had a chance to go with them this week during a visit. What a delight! I highly recommend trying them out. Mom's favorite- the Brandy Alexander. Bobbie the bartender makes it perfectly, and has bumped me out of first place as Mom's favorite bartender.

    Hamburger snd home made potato chips.

    I visit often when in this neck of the woods and it is really the location and the ambiance that makes me come back. It reminds me of a British Pub. Old. Venerable. Wood and beams, flat white paint. Outdoors, lots of green wild things growing around you. There is a vibe. I can't say tht the food is all that to rage about. I have had the higher end items, and the basic burger. The food, to be honest is average, but not particularly memorable. What is particularly memorable, are the flies. I counted 5-7 who were attempting escape by the window at our table. My dining companion made herself busy by attempting to kill them while we waited for our drinks. The bar menu is totally worth the visit. Everytime I go, there is a cocktail worth consuming. Perhaps I'll stick to the booze the next time and skip the meal.

    Creme brûlée

    Ok. This is a Gem of a place. We set down on the bar and got greeted by Gary the bartender. Lovely person and funny and attentive. Food was amazing, i got the Salmon. And a creme brûlée. Music was on point. We will return.

    If any restaurant in the area deserves 5*, it's the Jamison. Great staff, drinks, food, and specials. We absolutely love it there
