    Our first time visiting Chattanooga and Public house. Must say service and food have not disappointed. Our server Andy was exceptional and knowledgeable. Her recommendations went a long way with our choices. All were hits imo. Quality and freshness was top notch. Restaurant was pet friendly as we brought our puppy. I personally enjoyed my steak and fries and my wife loved her quail. I highly recommend this restaurant and also ask for Andy.

    First restaurant we visited in town. Our server gave great suggestions on wine and food. The service was great and the food was delicious. Would definitely come back! The ambiance was perfect.

    Fried chicken and Mac and cheese.

    We started with the fried pickes and pimento cheese, we not totally sure how it was all coming out but it was delightful. The fried pickles were lightly battered and had the right amount of sour and the pimento spread was full of flavored and tasted great on the slightly chard bread. Then we had the fried chicken with Mac and cheese and the cheeae burger with fries. Again we were not disappointed. The Mac and cheese was so creamy and left me wanting more and the chicken was full of flavor and had a great crispy skin. The burger was cooked exactly how I wanted and the shoestring fries were incredible. We will definitely go back. An our server was fantastic, he knew exactly what he would recommend and was super friendly and knowledgeable.

    Flounder (special menu)

    Saturday early evening, few minutes after 5 and crowds started to come. We were lucky to find a street parking (pay by phone) right outside the restaurant, but there's ample parking in the building and the restaurant provided parking ticket validation. We ordered the flounder special and the grilled pork tenderloin. Both are delicious. The place is nicely decorated and it has ample seating outdoor (covered porch) as well.

    Met with a good friend who actually works in the same building as this nice restaurant. Connor was our server, and he helped tremendously in making our experience memorable. In terms of the dishes, a bit of a mixed bag. The trout appeared a bit dry, the cabbage was presented as spicy but was quite mild and the beets were nice. the chicken livers were great though, same for the house salad. Oh yes, and desserts! Jack Daniels cake was OK but the carrot cake was amazing. Both were HUGE so the coffee I kept on refill was more than welcome. Two glasses of neat sambuca to complete our experience. 10/10 on service, 7/10 on food and 8/10 on the ambiance.

    Sooooo good! Scallops, salad, Brussels, so good!!!! The Social Sour was amazing! Ambiance was amazing as well!

    Stopped by Public House in Chattanooga for lunch and tried the Mahi lunch special, and it was very good and such a reasonable price! The fish was perfectly cooked, fresh, and full of flavor. The portions were just right, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Definitely a great spot for a nice lunch in the city -- I'll be back to try more of their specials! There's a parking garage in the area and they will validate it for you!

    Great food, very flavorful. The service was fantastic as well, very friendly and helpful. The old fashioned is fantastic. It's a quaint restaurant with a cool vibe. A great date night or business meal spot.

    The pot roast.
    Lori M.

    This was our second visit to Chattanooga and both times we've eaten dinner at Public House. We also got the pot roast dinner each time and split a Caesar salad because it is huge. Our waiter Noah was so nice and friendly. It is in a cute area and looks like and old house inside. Delicious food and drinks.

    Last night we were starving, and ready to eat! This was the second restaurant we tried to go to at 7pm on a Friday and they were able to get us seated immediately. Thankfully, we ordered fried pickles as an appetizer and they were brought to us within a few minutes. We also got cranberry lime mules, along with the pot roast and Cobb salad. Everything was sooo good! Our salad was supposed to have boiled eggs on it but didn't, but that was the only thing wrong! I loved the ranch - best restaurant ranch I have ever had. The inside has a nice vibe and they dimmed the lights, which I like for a dinner atmosphere. Service was quick, and the girls at the hostess stand were so nice.

    We had a great NYE dinner here! Service was amazing and the food was spot on. If you enjoy southern fare, definitely give this place a try in Chattanooga.

    Fried chicken with macaroni and cheese
    M U.

    Ooo-WEE!! This place is legit!!! My friend and I snagged a same-day reservation and came inside to beat the heat. Every single person we encountered from the hostess, to our server (Ian?), to the manager (who checked on us multiple times!), was awesome. The food, though, was what really stole the show! We started with biscuits and fried okra. The okra was full pieces of crispy okra with a spectacular remoulade sauce. Umm!! So good!! The biscuits were good and plentiful--they came with homemade jellies, butter, and prosciutto--I'm not crazy about prosciutto, but I enjoyed the mountain of biscuits and there were so many that I got three meals out of them!! For our entrees we got the Cobb salad and the fried chicken with Mac and cheese--both were EXCELLENT, and again, enough for several meals. The flavor, though, was fantastic! Especially the mac and the fried chicken--elevated, but accessible. Delicious!!

    Chicken with pretty good Mac and cheese.
    Art K.

    Service was awesome. I ordered the fried chicken. It was cooked perfectly, juicy, it just needed more pizazz in the crust. I thought it was boring. The Mac and cheese was a bit too runny and needed more cheese than cream or butter. But I finished it. It was pretty good. The wife enjoyed the great steak and wedge salad. It was tender and cooked to perfection.

    Ask the Community - Public House

    Are there vegan entree options for dinner, or can the chef prepare one?

    Kitchen seems to be able to accommodate but best to call the restaurant.

We ordered the veggie pizza (great flavor, slimy texture from too many mushrooms etc 4/5) the ceasar salad (started with some finesse 4/5) and the jerk cauliflower(5/5). The only item we were disappointed in was the wings (1/5). Now let me explain. Wooden city reads as a smart modern, quality of food type of location. The wings were great values finest: and thus were huuuuge and unappetizing. Yall pull up, just don't get the wings lol

This restaurant is located in the Chatanooga Choo Choo train station building. The entrance is in the front, altough you might be able to enter from inside the station. I have been in the area numerous times and this is the first time I had dinner in this area. This was a late dinner, so we focused on sharing a few plates over a full meal. I did not write down the type of oysters on the menu that day, but got one of each of the rotating oysters. The poke was the star. Very nicely prepared with a wide variety of vegetables to complement the fish and rice. The kale was my least favorite, but the way they prepared it added to the poke. After trying different things individually, we mixed it into the biggest mess. She had the elderflower sour, which was a nice blend of sweet and sour, with cucumbers to offset some of the sweet. I usually get a old fashioned, but decided to get the Road Less Traveled, which was similar to my norm, but with a blackberry twist. I would definitely visit again, given the chance. Solid restaurant.
