    Caesar salad- needed salt and pepper, but otherwise good
    Stephanie O.

    The food was really good here. The ambience was delightful and the service was spectacular. The meatloaf was the star of the table.

    My husband and I were on a motorcycle road trip from Arizona to Arkansas. One of our stops was in Amarillo. I came across Public House on Yelp and wanted to give it a try for lunch. I'm glad that we did because not only did we have a great meal, we had a wonderful time. Corey was our bartender and server. He made great cocktails and made sure to were taken care of. My husband had the meat loaf and I had the avocado quinoa salad with seared ahi tuna with a glass of white wine which paired perfectly. We also had the shrimp cocktail for an appetizer. We both enjoyed our meals, drinks and time at Public House so much we returned for another round on our way back home. We were happy to have Corey wait on us again. We had just as great of a time the second time around if not more.

    See update below. Started amazing. Smelled good. Live music was wonderful. Wonderful cocktails. Great atmosphere. Mushrooms were amazing. Caesar salad so authentic and fantastic! Then the rib eye with risotto. $79 for a tough tasteless steak. Temperature was perfect but it was not edible. The risotto was tight and not creamy and delectable. It was not edible. Told the waitress. Asked if I wanted to talk to manager and I said she could. Bottom line. I was extremely disappointed at the end of the day. Because of the main course I would never go back. So sad since it had such a wonderful beginning. At the end the waitress just said sorry. We paid we tipped and we shall not return. Nor will the people we brought. Update! The owner later reached out and showed genuine concern regarding what happened. As a result the owner asked questions and made the situation right. For me this shows care and I think diligence towards constant improvement. That is hopeful and if an opportunity arises I will go back and see how they did.

    quinoa salad with salmon

    Very nice place. Love the layout and the attractive bar. Service was excellent, pleasant and attentive. Good range of wines by the glass. Caesar salad had some less than green romaine pieces and there were way too many croutons. I substituted the Caesar dressing for their delicious blue cheese. Quinoa salad & dressing with salmon were delicious. Crab cake was pretty good. Would return if passing through

    Grande's Shrimp Cocktail
    Dave E.

    The Public House is our go to in Amarillo. We ALWAYS look forward to a meal here and they've never disappointed. Our server knew the bar well so we wound up with exactly what we wanted to relax from a longish drive. She was prompt, present and attentive. We might be stuck in a rut but it's a delicious rut. My wife loves the simplicity but elegance of Grande's Shrimp Cocktail. It's all she needs! And the chilled shrimp are large, perfectly cooked then chilled. I love the 'exotic' nature of the PH Meatloaf! Beef, pork and duck roasted with a mushroom Demi-glacé. GREAT flavor! Served with perfectly prepped sliced veggies. Yes they have great aged steaks and fish but the flavors of that meatloaf keep us coming back. Well done!!!

    Fun visit to Public House restaurant. Good front desk folks. The restaurant was booked, and the staff said to hang out for a few minutes to see what might come up. They were kind and tried to get us in as soon as possible. Within about 15 minutes, we went from a high top table in the bar area to a regular dining table in the main dining room. We had a delicious dinner and pleasant evening.

    Half a Shrimp and grits
    Katherine S.

    Loved our lunch date here! My sister and I stopped here after a trip to Amarillo! We had the drunken mushrooms, the crab cakes, the Cheesey Shrimp and grits to share, and a house salad. They plated our grits on two separate plates for us when they brought it out! The flavors were delicious and the portions, since we shared, were perfect. The only negative was the drunken mushrooms. The flavor was button mushrooms boiled in Cabernet wine (which is what it is). There was no other flavor, nothing to complement, nothing to split the flavor. Everything else was delicious and the service and atmosphere was PERFECT! We will be back!

    Two rounds of undercooked risotto
    Dale F.

    Nice ambiance and place has a cool hipster vibe with live music at the bar. Sat at a table in dining room and ordered ribeye steak with a wedge salad. Wedge came out and needed more dressing, but when I received it I found it was just regular old restaurant bottled blue cheese dressing. For $9, I would have liked fresh made dressing and not something from a bottle. Steak came out and it was cooked well and had a great flavor. Green beans were a tad undercooked, but I like mine on the crunchier side and they had a great flavor. The risotto was VERY undercooked to the point I felt as if I were eating small bits of starchy chalk. I told waiter and kept eating steak after scraping risotto to one side of the plate. The second round of risotto came around after I was almost done with the steak and sadly it too was underdone. Not chalky, but still a bit hard and gummy. They had a good flavor and I really wanted to enjoy it, but just could not eat anymore. After telling waiter the second batch was also undercooked he took away my plate since I was done. I was disappointed that a floor manager, kitchen manager or even a chef did not come out to apologize for the twice undercooked risotto. On the second attempt no one bothered to taste before it went out? I'm reminded of Chef Ramsey in Hells Kitchen screaming about to risotto. The waiter (not a manager) offered a complimentary dessert and I appreciated the offer. I had the butter cake which was outstanding, I highly recommend! Overall food was good, but if you're charging a premium for your food used fresh made blue cheese dressing on a wedge salad and leave the bottled dressing for the regular old house salad. Also learn how to cook risotto properly.

    These crab cakes had great flavor!

    My initial experience with this place was bad. It was a Saturday night, and some friends were…read morehaving their post-wedding party spread across this place and the Mayfair. This place was *PACKED*! We sat on the patio and I didn't even go inside to get my drinks - I just waited for the waitress to come outside. Fast forward almost a year later... A friend and I were looking for a chill place to get a drink on a Tuesday night. I didn't want to see anybody I knew from anywhere for any reason. So we came here. There was maybe five other people in the bar. Nice and dark inside, cool couches, awesome art and coffee shop-style tables for two or three. Excellent selection of high-end liquor. I ordered a Knob Creek and water, a drink I would never consider ordering anywhere else, a.) because most bars don't carry Knob Creek, and b.) because I usually visit cheap bars to pound drink specials and get out of the house. I really think of this as the coffee shop of bars. It's a place to sip on a nice drink and have an actual conversation, instead of yelling over Kid Rock on the jukebox. A little on the pricey side, but the drinks all come in doubles glasses and the ambiance is cool when it's not packed. I will be back soon, but not on a weekend night.

    So I decided to try this bar because of the reviews. I had a sort of mixed experience. When I went…read moreto the ladies room there was a sign stating "Please don't do coke in the bathroom". That should have been my first warning about this place. It's a cute bar but they are dishonest about their prices. The white wine I asked for was $9 on the menu. When I asked my server when I got the first bill I thought happy hour was going on she said " It might be applied to just our house wines." Then, when I pointed out there was a discrepancy on the menu vs. the first bill I received she looked at it and said " Well that might be because the register automatically just applied that charge to the bill". I ended up paying for the happy hour payment after all. It just seems sketchy she hiked up the price for one glass of wine.

    This is one of the best speakeasies out there. I originally came because it was featured in…read moreYellowstone, and the food and drinks did not disappoint. The cocktails were excellent and the food was delicious. I ordered the Pecan Goldie, served in a martini glass--a sweeter take on an Old Fashioned. Next was the Bomb City Cosmo, another refreshing cocktail also served in a martini glass. We ordered appetizers and dinner, and everything was great. The menu comes from Toscana Italian restaurant upstairs, and we enjoyed every dish. For appetizers, we had the spinach artichoke dip and pretzel bites--very creamy, and the pretzel bites were warm and delicious. We also tried two salads: the BLT Wedge Salad and the Shaved Brussels Sprout Parmesan Salad. Both were hearty and very filling. We finished with the chocolate pistachio cake, which was a delightful dessert. Happy Hour: Their website advertises $6 liquor Monday through Friday from 5-7 PM. However, the bartender didn't seem to honor it, saying happy hour is upstairs--though that's not what the website states. He did make it right by charging only for two drinks, which equaled the price of the three drinks that should have been on happy hour. Hopefully they begin honoring the posted happy hour pricing. Overall, this was an excellent experience, and I look forward to returning. Evelyn, our server, was very attentive and kind throughout our visit.

    And I thought I made good steak at home....go to Costco grab a USDA Prime Rib Eye...cast iron pan…read moregrill it...and remember the Bearnaise Sauce... Aside from the Seafood Fondeaux being a little on the saltier side...Saltgrass Steakhouse is probably the #1 Steakhouse here in Amarillo Texas (just my opinion)...if I had to leave one two word adjective to describe my entire experience today at this Steak House...."Michelin Worthy." Obviously not at Joel Robuchon level, but they sure execute everything like Brick & Mortar Steakhouse would be expected on Rodeo Drive. Perfect Medium Rare, Great baked sweet potatoes with that foam melt butter, garlic butter and grilled shrimp were cherries on top of the pie as a Steak Add-on, phenomenal balsamic vinegarette fused Blue Cheese crumbs Wedge Salad, and the Seafood Fondeaux was as if you married lobster bisque with creme spinach and queso, a superb starter. Premium Service by Isabel, top notch multitasker handling the bar, and multiple fronts. A well put together Southern Cowboy country Interior with very fitting country music. First time at Saltgrass, and what are my last thoughts? Definitely on my recommend list to anyone looking for a casual weekday steak lunch or dinner. Worth the spend! Edit: ***oh...pshhh no wonder, this steakhouse is sister restaurants with Mastros and Morton's~~ It's like the Swatch Group, if Mastros was Breguet, then Morton's would be Omega, and Saltgrass...Longines.
